Abstract: Construction of a pixel-based display using a set of pixel assemblies poured or placed into a display area or volume. Each pixel assembly has a means to produce a visible display output at its position and identify its own position within a 2-D or 3-D display space continuously or when needed. One or more image signals are distributed to the pixel assemblies collectively. Each pixel assembly uses its own self-detected position and other criteria to autonomously decide to which part of the signal(s) it will respond and what value to display as an output. Optionally each pixel assembly may also be able to: decode pixel identity encoded in the input signal(s) to implement a stroke/random access display; communicate with adjacent display elements in order to engage in collective action in local regions of the display; detect faults and remove itself from the display; and reprogram itself using an external signal.

Abstract: A system and method for secure graphics processing employing an operating system that supports multiple independent levels of security (MILS) is described. A video queuing mechanism is provided in conjunction with a cross domain guard to receive extended graphics language video inputs from multiple input applications in multiple security enclaves. Without accessing sensitive data, a function manages desired format and mode selections of the displays, coordinates the execution of multiple graphics applications that produce the needed video content, as well as communicate with a one or more high assurance render functions regarding how to draw each video output's content in a secure and easily certifiable manner.
