A display apparatus comprises a light source device, an image data processing module, a light modulating device and an image synthesizing device. The light source device is configured to emit first light and second light. The image data processing module is configured to receive original image data of an image to be displayed, wherein the original image data of the image to be displayed is based on image data within a second color gamut range and comprises original control signal values of m colors of each pixel; the second color gamut range covers a first color gamut range and has a portion that exceeds the first color gamut range. The image data processing module is further configured to map the original control signal values of the m colors into m corrected control signal values corresponding to the first light and n corrected control signal values corresponding to the second light.

The present invention includes systems and methods for a multi-primary color system for display. A multi-primary color system increases the number of primary colors available in a color system and color system equipment. Increasing the number of primary colors reduces metameric errors from viewer to viewer. One embodiment of the multi-primary color system includes Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta primaries. The systems of the present invention maintain compatibility with existing color systems and equipment and provide systems for backwards compatibility with older color systems.

In an optical detection system, received light can be concentrated and presented to a single-pixel photodetector (or an array of relatively few photodetectors). Concentration of received light can be performed by curved concentrator such as a continuously-curved or faceted reflector. A portion or an entirety of the detector might be blinded (e.g., desensitized) by bright interferers such as the sun. An electro-optic shutter such as a liquid crystal (LC) structure can be used to selectively transmit or mask-off portions of the received light. For example, an LC structure can have regions of selectable opacity for a specified polarization of incident light. The LC structure can be controlled to render certain region opaque, such as to suppress interference from unwanted interferers such as the sun, bright lights, or unwanted reflections. An LC structure can also be used to implement a scanned transmit/receive technique.

An image display device of the present disclosure includes: a first optical unit configured to change a traveling direction of an optical path by refracting light from a display element; a second optical unit to which the light refracted by the first optical unit enters; and a control unit configured to set a timing to change the traveling direction of the optical path to a state that is different among a plurality of regions, which are determined by dividing a display region of the display element in a scanning direction by controlling a distance between the first optical unit and the second optical unit so as to correspond to each of the plurality of regions.

The invention discloses an X-type adjustment module, comprising a cover, a first frame, a second frame, a first light transmitting element, a second light transmitting element, a first adjustment member, and a second adjustment member. The first frame is pivotally connected to the cover. The second frame is pivotally connected to the first frame and intersects the first frame. The first light transmitting element is fixed in the first frame. The second light transmitting element is fixed in the second frame and intersects the first light transmitting element. The first adjustment member passes through the cover and abuts against the first frame. The second adjustment member passes through the cover and abuts against the second frame. A transmission path of a light beam is controlled by adjusting disposition angles of the first light transmitting element and the second light transmitting element to avoid excessive concentration of light energy.

A novel projection system includes a light source, a phase modulator, an amplitude modulator, and a controller having temporal lightfield simulation capabilities. The phase modulator spatially modulates a lightfield from the light source to generate an intermediate image on the amplitude modulator. The amplitude modulator spatially modulates the intermediate image to form a final image. The controller models the phase state of the phase modulator during transitions between phase modulator frames and generates lightfield simulations of the intermediate image during the transition. The controller utilizes the lightfield simulations to generate and provide sets of amplitude drive values to the amplitude modulator at a faster rate than that at which the phase modulator is capable of switching.

Display devices include waveguides with in-coupling optical elements that mitigate re-bounce of in-coupled light to improve overall in-coupling efficiency and/or uniformity. A waveguide receives light from a light source and/or projection optics and includes an in-coupling optical element that in-couples the received light to propagate by total internal reflection in a propagation direction within the waveguide. Once in-coupled into the waveguide the light may undergo re-bounce, in which the light reflects off a waveguide surface and, after the reflection, strikes the in-coupling optical element. Upon striking the in-coupling optical element, the light may be partially absorbed and/or out-coupled by the optical element, thereby effectively reducing the amount of in-coupled light propagating through the waveguide. The in-coupling optical element can be truncated or have reduced diffraction efficiency along the propagation direction to reduce the occurrence of light loss due to re-bounce of in-coupled light, resulting in less in-coupled light being prematurely out-coupled and/or absorbed during subsequent interactions with the in-coupling optical element.

A digital masking system includes a supporting structure for supporting a material, and a pattern imaging apparatus. The pattern imaging apparatus includes a light source device, multiple imaging devices that convert light from the light source device into a plurality of light beams each representing an image, and a combiner that combines the light beams into a single light beam which is projected toward a material.
