Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for filling-in the region between separated pixels of an image and, in particular, to a depixelator having a random speckle pattern.
  • Electro-optically generated displays e.g., of the type used for virtual reality displays, video camera displays, computer displays, television displays and the like, can be generated by a number of image generators, including liquid crystal displays (LCDs), light emitting diode (LED arrays), cathode ray tubes (CRTs), plasma discharge devices, electroluminescent display, and micromirror displays.
  • LCDs liquid crystal displays
  • LED arrays light emitting diode
  • CRTs cathode ray tubes
  • plasma discharge devices electroluminescent display
  • micromirror displays Many displays produce an image composed of a multiplicity of picture elements ("pixels"). In at least some of these devices, there is a space between adjacent pixels such that each pixels is surrounded by what is perceived by the user as a dark area. Pixelated displays in which there is a space between adjacent pixels has been found to be less satisfactory for most users than a display which has been depixelated.
  • a process of depixelation involves filling-in the area between adjacent pixels, preferably with an
  • each pixel is made up of three sub-pixels, each displaying one of a set of three colors (e.g., red, green, blue), and each subpixel being separated from the others in a spatial fashion. It is desired that the user should perceive a single color at each pixel, and thus for this type of display it is desirable that depixelation among each set of subpixels should be sufficient to blend the colors together, such that, for example, if the image generator outputs substantially equally-intense red, green and blue subpixels, the viewer will perceive a single white pixel at that location.
  • the image generator outputs substantially equally-intense red, green and blue subpixels, the viewer will perceive a single white pixel at that location.
  • depixelation in general, as described above, it has been difficult to achieve practical depixelation for a number of reasons.
  • depixelation often involves blurring the pixels or the edges of the pixel. However, this must be done without losing resolution or contrast of the image to an unacceptable degree.
  • some depixelation schemes are expensive or difficult to design, manufacture, repair, and/or maintain, and some depixelation schemes result in undesirable optical artifacts or side effects.
  • Another process for depixelation with a fiber optic base plate involves placing the light source for the LCD near the rear of the pixel plane, such that the image of each pixel is enlarged, and also covers a greater portion of the total picture, correspondingly decreasing the amount of dark area surrounding each pixel. Also, the small size of each pixel causes considerable diffraction of the light which passes the edge of the pixel. Further, when a fiberoptic face plate is utilized, a diffuse source of light cannot be employed because it would create an image of each pixel on the input surface of the face plate, which would be excessively large. This forces the use of an incandescent lamp, which produces more heat which can negatively affect liquid crystal displays.
  • a diffuser plate is a plate which disperses an incoming ray over a solid angle.
  • Most diffuser plates are produced by a process of coating (e.g. painting) or mechanical (e.g. grinding or sandblasting) or chemical (e.g. etching) texturing of a surface, such as a reflecting surface or a surface of a transparent material.
  • the diffusion produced by a weak diffuser plate is, however, in random directions, and usually of lambertian energy distribution.
  • the weak diffuser has the disadvantage, from the point of view of a viewer, that most of the light remains scattered and the image remains bright.
  • the depixelation effect achieved by a crossed grating can be adjusted by adjusting, e.g., the spatial frequency (inverse of the pitch) or the efficiency or modulation depth of the grating, and the material of the grating (e.g., as a volume holographic grating or as a surface grating).
  • Crossed diffraction gratings however (and, it is believed, all periodic depixelation structures) produce an undesirable moire pattern (also known as aliasing).
  • the patterns may be changed or reduced by judicious use of grating frequencies and/or angles of crossing, but are difficult to reduce to the point where there is no substantial effect on viewing quality. Accordingly, it would be useful to provide a depixelation device which is relatively inexpensive to design, manufacture, repair, and maintain, and which is substantially free from moire patterns or other undesirable artifacts or side effects.
  • a speckle pattern diffractive optic is positioned on the optical path after the image generator (e.g., an LCD, CRT, LED, etc.).
  • the speckle optic has a plurality of optical components such as physical or optical dimples. The angles over which light is diffracted is determined by the range and/or distribution of size and/or space between the dimples.
  • the specks although they preferably fall within a particular range of sizes and spacings, are distributed in a random or stochastic manner with the depth of the specks preferably smoothly varying across the surface.
  • the range of sizes and spacing of the specks and the space between the pixel plane and the depixelator are selected to achieve the desired scattering, e.g., the desired scattering angle and the desired power distribution, such as may be suited to a particular pixel pitch and/or inter-pixel spacing.
  • the speckle optic can be produced by a number of procedures. In one procedure, the pattern is recorded in a photodeformable medium by passing a coherent light wave through a diffuser, or by reflecting the coherent light wave from a diffuse surface. In this embodiment the configuration such as the size of the illuminated surface and the distance to the recording medium, can be selected to achieve the desired distribution or spacing of the specks. In this procedure the diffuser can be masked to provide a number of different shapes of distribution patterns for the specks.
  • the present invention smoothes the edges of a pixelated display by deviating the light from each pixel in a controlled but random envelope.
  • light is scattered through a solid angle, determined by the feature size and depth of randomly placed irregular spheroids or specks. Control of these features can be accomplished by scattering coherent light from uniform diffuse surface, and placing recording media in positions that capture the desired speckled pattern.
  • the depixelator can be used in a number of applications, included folded and sometimes tilted catadioptric monobiocular or stereo head-mounted display projectors focused, preferably, at a comfortable distance. Other magnifying and/or relay systems using LCD sources, such as magnified LDC sources, can also make good use of this variety of depixelator.
  • a depixelator in another embodiment, includes a plurality of regions, each region having a crossed-grating pattern, but with the sizes, spacing and/or orientation of the crossed-grating regions being spatially variable, preferably random.

  • the larger the illuminated surface 412 the smaller and more plentiful are the specks.
  • the distribution or placement of the specks or dimples is determined primarily by the size of the illuminated area on the diffuser 412 and the distance to the recording medium 414.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un dispositif (32) de suppression de la zone d'ombre entre pixels (32), lequel est destiné à améliorer l'image obtenue par un générateur d'images par pixels (12) à l'aide d'un élément optique non périodique. Grâce à cet élément optique non périodique, les artefacts, tel que des moirages, générés par des dispositifs périodiques comme les réseaux croisés, peuvent être atténués ou éliminés. Ce dispositif optique (12, 16, 18) comprend, de préférence, plusieurs taches ou fossettes (42a à 42f) ayant un espacement et/ou une taille aléatoires, afin d'assurer la diffraction d'une grande partie de la lumière et d'obtenir, à partir de pixels, des régions inter-pixels. Il est préférable que la profondeur des taches varie légèrement sur toute la surface.
