  • Patent number: 11624905
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7898162
    Abstract: An electron beam pumped laser including a surface-emitting laser faceplate oriented at a non-perpendicular angle. Embodiments are described in which a bending coil bends the electron beam, or in which the faceplate is situated in the direct path of the e-beam emission but with a non-zero orientation angle. The faceplate may include a substantially opaque substrate, and an opaque heat-removing structure may be attached to the substrate to provide high heat transfer, thereby allowing high electron-beam pumping intensity and providing more light emission from a smaller package. In some embodiments the partially reflective mirror comprises a metal layer that has a plurality of openings. Multiple laser faceplates (e.g., red, green, and blue) may be placed in the same tube, to provide a continuous light source for projection television. The substrate may be connected to ground to provide an exit path for electrons from the laser gain layer.

  • Patent number: 6960873
    Abstract: A novel CRT and method of making the CRT are disclosed. The CRT comprises an internal neutral density filter that lies between the phosphor deposits and the interior surface of the faceplate panel. The filter enhances the contrast of the CRT without compromising center to edge brightness ratio of the CRT. The filter comprises very fine particles, wherein the particles are black, gray, or a mixture of black and gray. The filter reduces the absorption of the faceplate by 25 to 75%. The invention is particularly useful for substantially flat CRTs. The method of producing the novel CRT comprises the steps of preparing a suspension of well-dispersed light-absorbing, carbon-containing particles which are 0.05 to 2 microns in aqueous media and applying the suspension onto the interior surface of the faceplate panel prior to applying at least one phosphor deposit. The suspension may also include suitable organic and inorganic binders and dispersing and wetting agents.

The intermediate layer stops electrons before they can penetrate the color filter layer. Aging phenomena which adversely affect the effectiveness of the color filter layer are thus precluded. It is alternatively possible to use hitherto useless pigments, in particular pigments which are unstable when they are exposed to an electron bombardment in the color filter layer (or layers). By virtue thereof, the effectiveness of the color filter layer has been increased.

  • Patent number: 5986398
    Abstract: A field emission display device is arranged to improve the (luminance and the contrast and have a fluorescent screen for preventing a fluophor from being stripped off a substrate. The field emission display device includes a cathode electrode, the fluophors excited by electrons emitted by the cathode electrode, an anode electrode to which a given anode voltage is to be applied, and a metal film formed on the fluophors. The metal film is formed to have a thickness in the range of 2.times.10.sup.-6 E<t<2.times.10.sup.-5 E+0.02, where t is a thickness of the metal film and E is a voltage to be applied onto the anode electrode.

  • Patent number: 5952776
    Abstract: A color display device is provided with a black-matrix layer, a phosphor pattern and color-filter layers. The theological behavior of the suspension and/or the evaporation of volatile constituents is influenced by the topology of the color-filter layers, with, in particular, projecting color-filter layers exerting an influence. As a result, variations in thickness between the phosphor layers occur. By reducing the differences in height between a projecting color-filter layer and the black-matrix layer, the variations in thickness between the phosphor layers are reduced and hence the quality of the picture displayed is improved.

  • Patent number: 5939821
    Abstract: A color cathode ray tube includes a faceplate and a phosphor screen provided on the inner surface of the faceplate and including red, green, and blue phosphor layers. A color filter layer is interposed between the inner surface of the faceplate and the phosphor screen. The color filter layer includes color filters opposed individually to the phosphor layers of the phosphor screen and having colors corresponding thereto. Color filters of each color have a higher transmittance for light beams with wavelengths which are in a range of .+-.20 nm of the maximum emission spectrum wavelength of the phosphor layers of the corresponding color than for light beams with wavelengths which are outside the range and which are between 400 nm and 650 nm.

  • Patent number: 5637958
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5627429
    Abstract: 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.
