Near-eye display systems in accordance with embodiments of the invention enable accommodation-invariant display control. One embodiment includes a near-eye display; a processor; a memory containing a target image and an accommodation-invariant display application; where the processor is configured by the accommodation-invariant display application to calculate an impulse response of the near-eye display; calculate a compensation image by generating a deconvolved color channel of the target image using a ratio of the target image and the impulse response, where the compensation image is a representation of the target image that remains in focus at a plurality of distances from the near-eye display; and display the compensation image on the near-eye display.
NEAR-EYE DISPLAY MODULE, I-TYPE COMPOSITE DISPLAY MODULE, II-TYPE COMPOSITE DISPLAY MODULE, AND III-TYPE COMPOSITE DISPLAY MODULE BASED ON PIXEL-BLOCK-APERTURE STRUCTURES
The invention discloses a near-eye display module based on pixel-block-aperture structures, which includes more than one pixel-block-aperture structures. The divergence angle and propagation direction of the light beam from a pixel is specially modulated, and the light beams from pixels of adjacent pixel-block-aperture structures are endowed with different orthogonal characteristics, to guarantee the light beam from a pixel transmitting to the viewer's pupil only through corresponding aperture(s) for Maxwellian View or one-pupil-multi-view display. The arrangement of multiple pixel-block-aperture structures makes a large field of view (FOV) realizable, and the orthogonal-characteristics design can suppress the crosstalk between adjacent pixel-block-aperture structures effectively.
