The dynamic range in many real-world environments surpasses the capabilities of traditional display technologies by several orders of magnitude. Recently, a novel display capable of displaying images with a dynamic range much closer to real world situations has been demonstrated. This was achieved through a spatially modulated backlight behind an LCD panel. Combined with the modulating power of...

Mobile battery-operated devices are becoming an essential instrument for business, communication, and social interaction. In addition to the demand for an acceptable level of performance and a comprehensive set of features, users often desire extended battery lifetime. In fact, limited battery lifetime is one of the biggest obstacles facing the current utility and future growth of increasingly ...

Visual enhancement techniques provide different approaches for improving visual quality of displays under Low backlight conditions for saving the battery. The existing techniques provide the visual quality may be for noise free images only. This method proposes an algorithm that provides the visual quality for both images and display of systems even the images are corrupted with the noise under...

We propose an automatic three-dimensional (3D) pupil tracking backlight system for holographic 3D display system with large image size and full-parallax accommodation effect. The proposed tracking module is applied to a holographic 3D display system with two sets of directional holographic imaging module composed of 2×2 large scale lens array and 22-inch high-resolution liquid crystal display 3...

We propose a reflective three-dimensional (3D) display using a cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) with an inner patterned retarder producing half-wave retardation. The inner patterned retarder, fabricated by selective ultra-violet exposure to the aligned reactive mesogen, divides the circularly polarized light reflected from the ChLC layer into two orthogonal circular polarizations. These reflec...

In this paper, we describe a hybrid LEDLCD screen that delivers the same image peak-brightness at 1/2 to 1/20th the power consumption per unit LCD screen area compared to conventional designs. Our architecture is based on an adaptive, spatially controlled LED backlight and a unique algorithm that decomposes the displayed image into LED and LCD components in order to minimize power consumption. ...
