Description

Den foreliggende opfindelsen omhandler et fjernsynsappa¬rat, hvis udlæseenheder er samlet og fastgjort i en ramme,der er indrettet til at blive båret af brugeren, ellertil at blive fastgjort eller anbragt på en støtte, pas¬sende eller tilstrækkelig tæt på øjnene, hvilket apparatgengiver monoskopiske eller stereoskopiske billedersærskilt for hvert øje.The present invention relates to a television set whose readout units are assembled and secured in a frame adapted to be worn by the user, or to be attached or placed on a support, fitting or sufficiently close to the eyes, which apparatus reproduces monoscopic or stereoscopic image signs for each eye.

Billederne kan modtages f.eks. fra en fjernsyns- ellertele/datasender, eller fremkomme f.eks. fra videoaf¬spillere, videokameraer, infrarøde kameraer, skanderings-kameraer eller udstyr til billedefrembringelse, somf.eks. computere eller videospilsenheder.Images can be received e.g. from a television or television or data transmitter, or appear e.g. from video players, camcorders, infrared cameras, scanning cameras or image-generating equipment, e.g. computers or video game devices.

Når der kun fremvises todimensionelle billeder, sendesdet samme monoskopiske billede til udlæseenhederne,hvor de fremvises særskilt for hvert øje.When only two-dimensional images are displayed, the same monoscopic image is sent to the output devices, where they are displayed separately for each eye.

Når der fremvises tredimensionelle billeder, dvs. paraf to forskellige og let forskudte monoskopiske billederaf den samme genstand, overføres disse til udlæseenheder¬ne, hvor de fremvises særskilt for hvert øje, med henblikpå at frembringe en reel stereoskopisk virkning.When displaying three-dimensional images, i.e. paired with two different and slightly offset monoscopic images of the same object, these are transmitted to the output units where they are presented separately to each eye, in order to produce a real stereoscopic effect.

Hver udlæseenhed indeholder passende optiske organer,der er indrettet til at frembringe den ønskede gradaf forstørrelse og fokusering af billederne for hvertøje. De optiske organer kan også omfatte et spejlarran¬gement, der er indrettet til at reflektere billederneseparat for hvert øje, eller det optiske arrangementkan omfatte adskillige små linser, der er indrettettil at fokusere billederne separat for hvert øje i flereretninger.Each display unit contains appropriate optical means adapted to produce the desired degree of magnification and focusing of the images for each eye. The optical means may also comprise a mirror arrangement adapted to reflect image frames separately for each eye, or the optical arrangement may comprise several small lenses adapted to focus the images separately for each eye in multiple directions.

I visse udførelsesformer for apparatet, anvendes derkun en udlæseenhed sammen med passende optiske organer.In certain embodiments of the apparatus, only a readout unit is used with appropriate optical means.

Dette er relevant, når der f.eks. kun fremvises monosko¬piske billeder, eller når to forskellige monoskopiske(stereoskopiske) billeder fremvises samtidigt ellerved siden af hinanden på den samme udlæseenhed.This is relevant when e.g. only monoscopic images are displayed, or when two different monoscopic (stereoscopic) images are displayed simultaneously or side by side on the same output device.

De linser, der anvendes til fokusering af billedet, kan være af sædvanlig art, men man kan f.eks. også anvende letvægts-fresnel eller hologram-linser.The lenses used for focusing the image may be of a conventional nature, but one can, for example, also use lightweight fresnel or hologram lenses.

Fortrinsvis anvendes der flydendekrystaludlæseenheder,men der kan f.eks. også.anvendes katodestrålerør ellerfiberoptiske bundter til fremvisning af billederne.Liquid crystal readout units are preferably used, but e.g. also.Used cathode ray tubes or fiber optic bundles to display the images.

Billederne kan enten være i farver eller i sort-hvid.The images can be either in color or in black and white.

Apparatet kan strømforsynes af batterier, der er indeholdti den nævnte ramme. Når der f.eks. anvendes en brilleram¬me, kan apparatet indeholde solbatteriorganer, hvorder anvendes solceller, der f.eks. kan være anbragtforan på apparatet.The apparatus can be powered by batteries contained in said frame. For example, when If a spectacle frame is used, the apparatus may contain solar battery organs, utilizing solar cells which, e.g. may be located in front of the apparatus.

Apparatet kan antage forskellige størrelser og vægt,og rammen kan være a-f forskellige arter og konstruktioner.Fortrinsvis er rammen udformet som et brillestel, men kanogså udformes f.eks. som et "head-set", eller rammenkan være udformet bioculært eller som en kasse. Tilspecielle anvendelser, f.eks. som en videomonitor tilprofessionel brug, kan apparatet anbringes eller fast¬gøres på en støtte. Det i den kendte teknik beskrevnefjernsynsapparat af den ovenfor beskrevne art udformessåledes, at kun udlæseenhederne er indeholdt i den nævnteramme. Der kræves derfor yderligere udstyr uden forrammen til gengivelse af billeder og mulig lyd, og deter nødvendigt, at der findes ledninger mellem detteyderligere udstyr og rammen, til opnåelse af en fuldstæn¬dig fjernsynsmodtager eller fuldstænding videomonitor.The apparatus may take different sizes and weights, and the frame may be of different species and constructions. as a "head-set", or the frame may be designed biocularly or as a box. Specific applications, e.g. As a video monitor for professional use, the device can be mounted or secured to a support. The television apparatus described in the prior art of the kind described above is designed so that only the read-out units are contained in the said frame. Therefore, additional equipment is required without the frame for reproducing images and possible sound, and it is necessary that wires be provided between this additional equipment and the frame, to obtain a complete television receiver or complete video monitor.

Ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse er det ikke nødvendigtmed udstyr uden for rammen og ledningsforbindelser mellemdette udstyr og rammen, til at gengive billederne ogden mulige lyd til frembringelse af en fuldstændig fjern¬synsmodtager eller en fuldstændig videomonitor.According to the present invention, equipment outside the frame and wiring between this equipment and the frame is not necessary to reproduce the images and possible audio to produce a complete television receiver or a complete video monitor.
