LASER SYSTEM FOR GENERATION OF COLORED THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES
A laser system for generation of three-dimensional (3D) colored images is based on semiconductor laser sources generating laser light at a plurality of wavelengths. The laser source for each basic color range (red, green and blue) is formed on a single chip. The chip can be an array of the distributed feedback lasers or an array of distributed Bragg reflector lasers, each of which generates laser light at its own wavelength, or a COMB laser generating laser light at a plurality of wavelengths.
All light illuminates a two-dimensional (2D) display, and the light transmitted through the display or reflected by the display at a given color range impinges on an optical unit, containing a first optical element, e.g., a lens or a mirror, the focal length of which is wavelength-sensitive. Light at different wavelengths forms 2D images at different depths. Then, once the images created by the display and the laser pulses at each wavelength are synchronized, all images of the given colored range are perceived by the human's eyes as a single 3D image of this color range.
To fuse 3D images in red, green and blue that are formed at different positions, an optical element, e. g., a lens or a mirror is employed, the focal length of which is adjustable by mechanical motion, or deformation, or applying an electro-optic effect in an electric field. This optical element can be either the same first element with the wavelength-dependent focal length, or a different element. Then, once the light is switched between red, green and blue color ranges, the adjustable focal length of this element is adjusted such to compensate a change of the focal length of the first element, and the focal length of the entire optical unit is restored. Then the human's eyes average the perceived light and see a smoothly moving fully colored 3D image.
System and method for realtime LED viewing angle correction
A video display device includes LED pixels, a memory, and a processor. The processor receives video data that includes video pixels that correspond to the LED pixels. For at least some of the video pixels, the processor calculates a viewing angle for the LED pixel based on (i) a 3D location and optical axis vector for the LED pixel and (ii) a 3D location of a viewer of the LED pixel. The processor calculates a gain factor for the LED pixel based on the viewing angle and a relationship between pixel intensity and pixel viewing angle for the LED pixel. The processor calculates a compensated brightness for the LED pixel based on the gain factor and a brightness of the video pixel. The processor causes the LED pixel to emit light having the compensated brightness.

Virtual reality system
Methods and systems for a virtual and/or augmented reality device may include a light emitting device that includes one or more light emitting elements configured to generate collimated light beams. A scanning mirror may include one or more microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirrors. Each MEMS mirror of the scanning mirror may be configured to dynamically tilt in at least one of two orthogonal degrees of freedom to raster scan the light beams over multiple angles corresponding to a field of view of an image. A curved mirror may include curves in two orthogonal directions configured to reflect the collimated light beams from the scanning mirror into a subject's eye in proximity to the curved mirror to form a virtual image. The curved mirror may allow external light to pass through, thus allowing the virtual image to be combined with a real image to provide an augmented reality.
