The present disclosure provides a device, in particular a multifocal display device. The device includes: a display element configured to generate an image; and a controller configured to control the display element according to at least a first bit sequence provided over a first determined time period and a second bit sequence provided over a second determined time period, in order to generate the image with one or more colors, the bit sequences including for each color a number of bits of different significance. Moreover, the device is configured to generate the first bit sequence from an original bit sequence based on discarding at least one bit of a color and to generate the second bit sequence from the original bit sequence based on discarding at least one other bit of the color.

Described are improved approaches to implement color sequential displays that can mitigate problems with conventional display technologies. Color-breakup is mitigated by modifying the original color channels and adding one or more additional color channels derived from the original ones.

A liquid crystal on silicon spatial light modulator comprising an array of light-modulating pixels and a controller are disclosed. Each light-modulating pixel of the array comprises liquid crystal and is associated with a respective flip-flop. The controller receives a hologram of an image comprising a plurality of hologram pixels. Each hologram pixel comprises a respective n-bit hologram pixel value. The controller drives each light-modulating pixel in accordance with a respective hologram pixel value of the hologram. There is a one-to-n pixel correlation between the hologram and the light-modulating pixels. The flip-flops of each contiguous group of n light-modulating pixels are connected in series to form a shift register. During operation of the shift register, the n-bit hologram pixel value associated with each contiguous group of n light-modulating pixels is provided to each light-modulating pixel one bit at a time over the course of at least n clock cycles.

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus includes a housing which has a bore to which a magnetic field for use in an MRI scan is applied, a moving table on which an inspection target may be placed and that enters the bore of the housing, a projector which projects an image onto an inner wall that forms the bore of the housing, and a controller which controls the projection unit and transmits a video signal to the projector.

A display control device includes: a receiver configured to receive an image signal; a measurer configured to measure the number of vertical scanning lines and horizontal scanning time of the image signal; a table generator configured to generate a provisional signal table when data measured by the measurer has not been retained in a previously prepared signal table; a detector configured to detect data for regulating an active display region of an image, from the image signal; and an updater configured to update the provisional signal table, based on a detection result by the detector.

Methods, systems and components are disclosed relating to the exclusive optical addressing of information for image display systems.
