Patent number: 8040292Abstract: A head-mounted display system displays information via a matrix display element mounted within a housing that is positioned relative to at least eye of a user. The display is connected to a video or information source such that the user can view information or images shown on the display. The display can be mounted to a frame so that the user can move the display in and out of the user's field of view without adjusting the supporting harness that holds the display on the user's head.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Kopin CorporationInventors: Peter A. Ronzani, Jeffrey Jacobsen, Ronald Gale, Stephen Pombo

Publication number: 20070018919Abstract: An active matrix color crystal display has an active matrix circuit, a counterelectrode panel and an interposed layer of liquid crystal. The active matrix display is located in a portable microdisplay system. The image is written to the the display therein causing the liquid crystal to move to a specific image position. A light source is flashed to illuminate the display. The pixel electrodes are set to a specific value to cause the liquid crystal to move towards a desired position. The process of writing, flashing, and setting the electrode intensity value to reorient the liquid crystal to produce an image is repeated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2006Publication date: January 25, 2007Inventors: Matthew Zavracky, Frederick Herrmann, Wen-Foo Chern, Alan Richard, Ronald Gale, Jason Lo, David Ellertson, Kuojinng Tsai, John Fan, Bor-Yeu Tsaur, Stephen Pombo, Rodney Bumgardner, Duy-Phach Vu

Patent number: 6729076Abstract: A support for an awning (10) comprises a plurality of inner members (28), each being pivotally connected to adjacent ones of the inner members (28). Support members (16), the are strengthened by braces (36) extend outwardly from the inner members (28). An awning material, such as shade cloth or canvas, is supported by the support members (16). The support is fixed to a wall (12) or a pole. The support can move between a retracted position in which the support members (16) lie adjacent to each other and an extend position in which distal ends of the support members are spaced from each other. The awning is compact when in the retracted position and aesthetically pleasing.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2001Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Inventor: Kenneth Ronald Gale

Publication number: 20020030649Abstract: A color active matrix display system allows random access of pixel electrodes. The control electronics is fabricated with the active matrix circuitry using single crystal silicon technology. The control electronics includes a random access data scanner and random access spec scanners. By selectively actuating pixel electrodes in the active matrix display region, compressed video information can be directly displayed on the active matrix display panel. Color stripes are used to generate sequential color systems to produce a color image from the active matrix display panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2001Publication date: March 14, 2002Applicant: Kopin CorporationInventors: Matthew Zavracky, Wen-Foo Chern, Ronald Gale, Peter A.
