Definitions

  • the field of the invention is image projection in general, and electronic image projection in particular.
  • Spatial light modulator devices include so-called “active matrix” devices, comprising an array of light modulating elements, or “light valves,” each of which is controllable by a control signal (usually an electrical signal) to controllably reflect or transmit light in accordance with the control signal.
  • a liquid crystal array is one example of an active matrix device; another example is the deformable mirror device (DMD) developed by Texas Instruments . . . . See Fielding, col. 1 , 11. 13-21.
  • DMD deformable mirror device
  • Tiling involves the useof multiple projection displays of sub-images that are displayed adjacent to each other to form a composite image.
  • the use of multiple projection displays allows for greater resolution than is available with a conventional single projection display.
  • Thesub- images can be blended inside a single projector or if multiple projectors are used, the sub-images are blended on the screen. For example, when two projectors are used one projector projects a first sub-image on a screen. A second projector projects a second sub-image on a screen.
  • the first and second projectors are positioned such that the first and second sub-images are projected onto a screen adjacent to each other. It is difficult to align the projectors exactly and therefore undesirable seams between the first and second sub-images are often apparent to the viewer.
  • the first and second projectors are conventionally positioned such that the first image slightly overlaps the second image. Mere overlapping of sub-images typically is insufficient, however, as the additive intensity of the images in the regions of overlap in some scenes likewise may be noticeable to audiences. General methods of reducing brightness in these regions require careful matching of the displays at the seam area(s), both geometrically and photometrically.
  • Another approach is to combine or superimpose two or more sub-images by off-setting two or more SLMs by, for example, one half of a pixel.
  • the sub-images are simultaneously displayed and the pixels of one spatial light modulator are positioned to lie between the spaces of the pixels of another SLM.
  • This approach is discussed in U.S. Patent No. 5,490,009.
  • a disadvantage of this approach is that it requires twice the number of SLM devices while the resulting combined resolution of the two SLMs is limited to being less than a factor of two horizontally or vertically. This is because there is always some overlapping of superimposed pixels since for reasons of uniformity and efficiency it its desirablethat the pixels be as nearly equal to 100% of the space allowed by their pitch as possible. This effectively limits the gain in resolution to about the square root of two horizontally or vertically, which produces an overall increase in the number of pixels of about 2.8 times.
  • two sub-images for superimposition are created using a single spatial light modulator.
  • a first sub-image is projected with the SLM at a first position and, during the same frame, a second sub-image is projected using the same SLM.
  • micro-actuators are used to move the SLM from the first to the second position. The SLM is subsequently moved back to the first position for the projection of the next image frame.
  • the first and second position of the SLM are such that the two resulting sub-images are offset by one half of a pixel in both horizontal and vertical directions, allowing the two subimages to combine to produce a final image having a greater resolution than that provided by the actual pixels contained in the SLM.
  • the first and second projection positions may be discreet static positions, or they may be continuously varying dynamic positions, such as the crest and trough portions of a sinusoidal motion profile.
  • high resolution, stereoscopic images are created using the principle of temporal superimposition and an electronic projection system having a minimum of low resolution SLMs.
  • the invention alternately projects offset image sub-fields to each eye, which are then combined by the human visual system into a single, integrated high resolution image.

Abstract

Dans un mode de réalisation de cette invention, deux sous-images destinées à la superposition sont créées par utilisation d'un seul modulateur spatial de lumière (SLM). Une première sous-image est projetée au moyen du SLM, à une première position, et, pendant la même trame, une seconde sous-image est projetée au moyen du même SLM, à une seconde position. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de cette invention, des images stéréoscopiques à haute résolution sont créées par utilisation du même principe de superposition temporelle et d'un système de projection électronique présentant un minimum de SLM à faible résolution. Cette invention permet de projeter alternativement à chaque oeil des sous-champs d'image décalés, qui sont ensuite combinés par le système de vision humain en une seule image à haute résolution intégrée. Le système de vision humain intègre de manière similaire les images séparées de oeil gauche et de oeil droit en une seule image à trois dimensions.
