PROJECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18602352 titled 'PROJECTOR
The abstract describes a projector with a light source and a light modulator containing a liquid crystal panel, a multi-lens array, and a light refractor array. The liquid crystal panel has pixels with sub-pixels, the multi-lens array has lenses for different lights, and the light refractor array has refractors for different pixel boundaries.
- The projector includes a liquid crystal panel with pixels and sub-pixels.
- A multi-lens array with lenses for different lights is used in the projector.
- A light refractor array with refractors for pixel boundaries is part of the projector.
- The light from different pixels and sub-pixels is refracted using the light refractors.
- The technology aims to improve image quality and light efficiency in projectors.
Potential Applications: - High-definition projectors for home entertainment systems - Professional projectors for business presentations and conferences - Educational projectors for classrooms and lecture halls
Problems Solved: - Enhancing image clarity and brightness in projectors - Optimizing light distribution for better viewing experience - Improving overall performance and efficiency of projectors
Benefits: - Crisp and clear images with vibrant colors - Energy-efficient operation for cost savings - Enhanced viewing experience for users
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Projection Technology for Enhanced Visuals This technology can be used in various commercial settings such as cinemas, auditoriums, and advertising displays to provide high-quality visuals and engaging presentations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of a multi-lens array improve image quality in projectors? - The multi-lens array helps to focus and distribute light more effectively, resulting in sharper and brighter images. 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using a light refractor array in projectors? - The light refractor array helps to optimize light usage, leading to energy efficiency and reduced operating costs.
Original Abstract Submitted
A projector of the present disclosure includes a light source, and a light modulator, the light modulator has a liquid crystal panel, a multi-lens array entered by first, second, third lights, and a light refractor array. The liquid crystal panel has a plurality of pixels and each of the plurality of pixels has first, second, third sub-pixels. The multi-lens array has a plurality of lenses entered by the first, second, third lights. The light refractor array has a first light refractor over a boundary between the first, second pixels and a second light refractor over a boundary between the first, third pixels. The first light from the first pixel and the third light from the second pixel enter the first light refractor, and the third light from the first pixel and the first light from the third pixel enter the second light refractor.
