Multi-State Light Modulator With Non-Zero Response Time And Linear Gray Scale

View page
US Patent:
6690499, Feb 10, 2004
Filed:
Nov 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/718843
Inventors:
Per H. Larsen - Golden CO
James M. Dallas - Superior CO
Rainer M. Malzbender - Niwot CO
Michael R. Meadows - Nederland CO
Assignee:
Displaytech, Inc. - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G02B 2600
US Classification:
359238, 345 89, 345101, 345692, 345697, 345204, 345214, 345599, 348671, 355 35
Abstract:
A multi-state light modulating system having grayscale based on a series of time intervals includes an arrangement that establishes the duration of each time interval such that the time intervals in the series have progressively varying duration. The arrangement also determines a drive signal for each time interval that causes the light modulator to assume a specific light modulating state. The arrangement also causes the light modulator to produce a desired time-averaged light level over the series of time intervals by in part driving the light modulator using the drive signal that corresponds to a particular time interval for a duration that is longer than the duration of the time interval. The arrangement also or alternatively arranges the series of time intervals such that the light modulator is in the same state immediately prior to the particular time interval as the light modulator is in immediately after the time interval.

Increasing Brightness In Field-Sequential Color Displays

US Patent:
7046221, May 16, 2006
Filed:
Oct 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/974437
Inventors:
Rainer M Malzbender - Niwot CO, US
Assignee:
Displaytech, Inc. - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G09G 3/32
US Classification:
345 82, 345102
Abstract:
A display system includes a display panel having an array of pixels, the pixels having ON states and OFF states. The pixels form images by modulating light in a temporal sequence during an image frame in response to drive signals generated from incoming video data. A light source arrangement that emits at least two colors of light illuminates the display panel. The image frame is divided into color segments with only one color of light being emitted from the light source during each segment. The color segments are further divided into grayscale periods. Transition segments are provided for the transitions between colors. The state of each pixel during these transition segments is a function of the desired brightness level for each pixel, as derived from incoming video data.

Microdisplay And Interface On Single Chip

US Patent:
7283105, Oct 16, 2007
Filed:
Apr 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/831545
Inventors:
James M. Dallas - Superior CO, US
David B. Hollenbeck - Frederick CO, US
Per Harold Larsen - Boulder CO, US
Rainer M. Malzbender - Niwot CO, US
Michael Wayne Yee - Broomfield CO, US
Assignee:
Displaytech, Inc. - Longmont CO
International Classification:
G09G 3/00
US Classification:
345 32, 345204
Abstract:
A microdisplay having interface circuitry on the same silicon backplane to allow it to receive digital images and video in a variety of formats and convert same to field sequential color signals for generation of full color images. It includes column data processors having a comparator for each block of N-columns of pixels. Image data is double-buffered in SRAM memory cells located beneath the pixel electrodes, but not within each pixel. The stored data is logically associated with each pixel via the column data processors. Image compression is accomplished by converting RGB data to a variant of YUV data and sampling the color components of the converted data less frequently than the luminance components. The SRAM image buffer consumes a reduced amount of power. A temperature compensation scheme allows the temperature of the microdisplay to be sensed and the drive voltage to the pixel electrodes to be varied in response thereto.

Filed:
Apr 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/096097
Inventors:
James M. Dallas - Superior CO, US
David B. Hollenbeck - Frederick CO, US
Per Harold Larsen - Boulder CO, US
Rainer M. Malzbender - Niwot CO, US
Michael Wayne Yee - Broomfield CO, US
Assignee:
Citizen Finetech Miyota Co., Ltd. - Nagano
International Classification:
G09G 3/36
US Classification:
345 89, 345692
Abstract:
Methods and devices for generating grayscale using digital pulse width modulation between optical states. Grayscale may be generated for each component color using multiple algorithm cycles per display field. Subsets of binary weighted bit values for data values of each component color may be split across algorithm cycles to reduce the number of data comparisons per color per display field. The total number of data comparisons per color per display field may be reduced by half or more.

US Patent:
20070205969, Sep 6, 2007
Filed:
Dec 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/643042
Inventors:
Nesbitt Hagood - Wellesley MA, US
Jignesh Gandhi - Burlington MA, US
Abraham McAllister - Annandale VA, US
Rainer Malzbender - Niwot CO, US
Stephen Lewis - Reading MA, US
Assignee:
Pixtronix, Incorporated - Andover MA
International Classification:
G09G 3/34
US Classification:
345084000
Abstract:
A direct-view display includes an array of MEMS light modulators and a control matrix formed on a transparent substrate, where each light modulator can be driven into at least two states, and a controller for controlling the states of each light modulator in the array. The control matrix transmits data and actuation voltages to the array. The controller includes an input, a processor, a memory, and an output. The input receives image data encoding an image frame for display. The processor derives a plurality of sub-frame data sets from the image data, where each sub-frame data set indicates desired states of light modulators in multiple rows and multiple columns of the array. The memory stores the plurality of sub-frame data sets. The output outputs the plurality of sub-frame data sets according to an output sequence to drive light modulators into the states indicated in the sub-frame data sets.
