DISPLAY BACKPLANES WITH INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS, PHOTONICS AND COLOR CONVERSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240085740 titled 'DISPLAY BACKPLANES WITH INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS, PHOTONICS AND COLOR CONVERSION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that includes a backlight unit (BLU) with various integrated layers and modules to generate desired colors using laser light for applications in head-mounted devices like augmented reality and virtual reality devices.
- The apparatus includes a backlight unit (BLU) with an electronic integrated circuit layer, a photonic integrated circuit layer, a color conversion module, and a display interface layer.
- The BLU may include at least one laser or be configured to receive laser light from an external source, which is transmitted towards the display interface layer using the photonic integrated circuit.
- Color conversion modules are used to convert the laser light into desired colors for display in head-mounted devices.
- The technology can be applied in augmented reality and virtual reality devices for improved display quality and color accuracy.
