Directional display apparatus

Disclosed is a light guiding valve apparatus including an imaging directional backlight, an illuminator array and an observer tracking system arranged to achieve control of an array of illuminators which may provide a directional display to an observer over a wide lateral and longitudinal viewing range, wherein the number of optical windows presented to the observer as viewing windows is controlled dependent on the lateral and longitudinal position or speed of an observer.

A pool cleaning tool includes a front housing and a rear housing coupled together, an intake, an outlet, a turbine disposed within the front and rear housings, and a three-way diverter valve proximate the intake. The tool includes an abrasive member, rigidly coupled to the turbine, mounted outside the front and rear housings for rotation with the turbine. The three-way diverter valve has an on position in which water drawn into the intake is communicated into the tool, up to the turbine, and then out the outlet, thereby imparting rotation to the turbine and to the abrasive member.

Stereoscopic image appreciation eyeglasses with liquid crystal cell voltage control and stereoscopic image display device
10694171 · 2020-06-23 ·

An infrared polarizing filter is attached to an infrared synchronization signal radiator of a stereoscopic image display device which alternately displays right and left images by time-division with polarized light in one direction to radiate the polarized-light infrared synchronization signal. The problem with the occurrence of crosstalk is solved. Stereoscopic image appreciation eyeglasses have polarizing plates, visual field opening/closing liquid crystal cells and tilt correcting liquid crystal cells. The synchronization signal is received by a receiver mounted on an eyeglass frame. The tilt correcting liquid crystal cells are adjusted by a voltage based on the eyeglass frame tilt angle detected.

Parallax barrier panel, display substrate, display device, electronic equipment and display method

The embodiments of the present invention provide a parallax barrier panel, a display substrate, a display device, an electronic equipment and a display method. The parallax barrier panel includes a switchable array and a control module. The switchable array is used for forming a parallax barrier. The control module is used for adjusting the direction of the parallax barrier based on the interocular direction of an observer. By adjusting the direction of the parallax barrier based on the interocular direction of the observer, an ideal three-dimensional display effect can always be provided to the observer during three-dimensional display.

Stereo viewing

The invention relates to creating and viewing stereo images, for example stereo video images, also called 3D video. At least three camera sources with overlapping fields of view are used to capture a scene so that an area of the scene is covered by at least three cameras. At the viewer, a camera pair is chosen from the multiple cameras to create a stereo camera pair that best matches the location of the eyes of the user if they were located at the place of the camera sources. That is, a camera pair is chosen so that the disparity created by the camera sources resembles the disparity that the user's eyes would have at that location. If the user tilts his head, or the view orientation is otherwise altered, a new pair can be formed, for example by switching the other camera. The viewer device then forms the images of the video frames for the left and right eyes by picking the best sources for each area of each image for realistic stereo disparity.
