  • Patent number: 7293879
    Abstract: A projection screen for use in a projection system is described. In an embodiment of the present invention, a projection system includes a projector and a projection screen. The projector is configured to project an image composed of visible light in one or more ranges of wavelengths. The projection screen has a plurality of sub-pixels that reflect and/or transmit the one or more ranges of wavelengths to display the image and absorb visible wavelengths of light in at least one other range not included in the one or more ranges. One or more spaces are defined between adjacent sub-pixels that reflect and/or transmit the one or more ranges and the at least one other range.

  • Patent number: 7164429
    Abstract: A method comprising performing white component replacement on a first image signal received by a display device to generate a second image signal, applying a skew-sigmoid opto-electronic transfer function to the second image signal to generate a third image signal, converting the third image signal to a fourth image signal using a conversion matrix, and providing the fourth image signal to the spatial light modulator associated with the display device is provided.

  • Patent number: 6778185
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for mapping a source color into a color gamut without changing the value of its hue attribute. In some embodiments, a source color is initially represented by a first set of color coordinates that are defined with respect to a first coordinate system. The first set of color coordinates is then transformed to a second set of color coordinates, defined in a second coordinate system. If the second set of color coordinates is outside of a selected color gamut, the value of a first color coordinate of the second set of color coordinates is reduced until the second set of color coordinates is in-gamut. The first coordinate axis of the second coordinate system is either an “R” axis or a coordinate axis that is independent of hue, “H”, and not identical to chroma, C*. The in-gamut set of color coordinates comprises a gamut-mapped color corresponding to the source color.
