Patent number: 11624905Abstract: The embodiments herein use a corrector plate or a light field display in an AR/VR display device to compensate for sub-optimal collimation at the edge of the FOV. In one embodiment, the corrector plate is disposed between the collimator and the viewer so that the light at the edge of the FOV can be corrected so that the aberrations mentioned above do not occur. In another embodiment, rather than using a corrector plate, the AR/VR display device can include a light field display that can use color intensity to pre-distort emitted light to compensate for sub-optimal collimation at the edge of the FOV. In this manner, the AR/VR display device can mitigate aberrations or distortions as the user moves her eyes relative to the display device.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Quinn Yorklun Jen Smithwick

Patent number: 5645461Abstract: To manufacture a cathode-ray projection tube, a glass face panel with a skirt portion is provided. The glass face panel is formed to satisfy the following formula 0.85.ltoreq.B/A, where A is a long edge length of the inner surface of the glass face panel and B is a short edge length of the inner surface of the glass face panel. Then, high and low refraction materials are alternately evaporated to form an optical multiple layered interference film having a substantially uniform thickness on the inner surface of the glass face panel.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1994Date of Patent: July 8, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yasuo Iwasaki

Patent number: 5637958Abstract: A face plate (10) of an FED image display has a grooved rear surface (25) formed with projections (36). Projections (36) have surfaces (39) covered in regions (58, 59) with electrical conductive material (54) and different color emitting phosphor particles (56a, 56b). The regions (58, 59) define different color anode combs. Surfaces (39) in regions (61) between regions (58,59) are covered with insulative, light absorbing material (62) for absorption of ambient light. Surfaces (39) are formed to encourage forward direction of phosphor-emitted light. In one embodiment, surfaces (39) serve to channel ambient light rearwardly toward projection apexes (40) which are covered with light absorbing material (62). Projections (36) may be parallel elongated prisms, pyramids or cones.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1995Date of Patent: June 10, 1997Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventor: Jules D. Levine

Patent number: 5627429Abstract: A color cathode ray tube includes an intermediate layer between the face plate and the tricolor phosphor layer. The intermediate layer is a selective light absorption layer or a neutral filter layer. The selective light absorbing function and the uniform light absorbing function are imparted, not to the functional film on the outer surface of the face plate, but to the intermediate layer formed on the surface of the face plate facing the electron gun, namely, on the inner surface of the face plate. The mechanical strength of the functional film is thus enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1992Date of Patent: May 6, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yasuo Iwasaki
