Abstract: Technology is disclosed for optimizing a near-eye display using a waveguide. A first waveband for a first color narrower than the full spectral bandwidth for the first color and a second waveband for a second color adjacent to the first color in the visible spectrum are generated in image light of an image generation unit like a microdisplay. The first waveband and the second waveband are coupled into a same layer of a diffractive waveguide. An input grating of the same layer of the waveguide has a grating wavelength band approximately matching a waveband extensive with the first waveband and the second waveband. A converted green light emitting diode (LED) may be used for obtaining a first waveband centered around 515 nm in some examples. One of more of the wavebands may be obtained using filters, for example filters using dichroic mirrors, quantum dots or a combination of these.

Abstract: In embodiments of display region refresh, a display panel has addressable display regions that display at different display refresh rates. Display data is buffered to update the addressable display regions, and subsequent display data is received to further update the addressable display regions. A display controller can determine display update deltas that indicate pending display updates based on a comparison of the display data to the subsequent display data. A first addressable display region can then be refreshed at display refresh rate based on a first display update delta that corresponds to the first addressable display region, and a second addressable display region can be refreshed at a different display refresh rate based on a second display update delta that corresponds to the second addressable display region.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for determining a depth map using TOF with low power consumption. In order to disambiguate, or de-alias, the returned distance(s) for a given phase shift, the system may emit n different frequencies of light over n successive image frames. After n frames of data are collected, the distances may be correlated by a variety of methodologies to determine a single distance to the object as measured over n image frames. As one frequency may be emitted per image frame, the depth map may be developed while consuming low power.
