Patent number: 6486923Abstract: A color picture display apparatus employs an array of light-emitting diodes or other light-emitting elements emitting different colors. A television signal is converted to monochromatic signals of the different colors. A color converter modifies the monochromatic signals, thereby changing the displayed hues to match the hues that would be displayed on a television screen, to compensate for ambient lighting conditions, or to achieve other desired effects. If each picture element has only a single light-emitting element, the modification preferably avoids unlit gaps in monochromatic areas of the displayed picture.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2000Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuya Maeshima, Zenichiro Hara, Takashi Okamoto, Shinya Iio

Patent number: 5489950Abstract: A red image light signal emitting array, a green image light signal emitting array and a blue image light signal emitting array are driven by separate drivers in accordance with one-line image data at a time. The light signals emitted from the arrays are processed by a light signal combining lens and then are incident to a scanning mirror. The scanning mirror vibrates within a specified range of scan angles at a specified frequency, and while the scanning mirror reciprocates once, one frame of two-dimensional image is formed on a projection surface. The scan angle of the scanning mirror is detected by a detector, and the detector sends a detection signal to a timing signal generating circuit. The timing signal generating circuit is stored with values specified for the respective drivers, and when the detector detects that the scan angle becomes one of the values, the timing signal generating circuit sends a timing signal to the corresponding driver.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1994Date of Patent: February 6, 1996Assignee: Minolta Camera Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tomohiko Masuda
