VARIABLE PIXEL DENSITY DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH MECHANICALLY-ACTUATED IMAGE PROJECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337849 titled 'VARIABLE PIXEL DENSITY DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH MECHANICALLY-ACTUATED IMAGE PROJECTOR
The abstract describes a patent application for head-mounted virtual and augmented reality display systems that utilize a light projector with emissive micro-displays to output frames of virtual content at a resolution higher than the micro-display's native resolution.
- The projector shifts physical positions of light output for individual pixels using actuators to fill in gaps between old locations, allowing for the creation of a higher resolution frame.
- By outputting subframes within the flicker fusion threshold, the system ensures smooth transitions between frames.
- This innovation allows low-resolution micro-displays to function as higher resolution displays by using the same light emitters for multiple pixels.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Augmented reality applications in industrial training - Medical simulations and training programs
Problems Solved: - Enhancing resolution of virtual content without requiring higher resolution micro-displays - Improving visual quality and user experience in virtual and augmented reality environments
Benefits: - Cost-effective solution for achieving higher resolution virtual content - Enhanced immersion and realism in virtual and augmented reality experiences
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Resolution Virtual and Augmented Reality Display Systems" This technology can be utilized in the gaming industry, medical training simulations, and industrial applications to provide users with a more immersive and realistic experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this innovation improve the visual quality of virtual and augmented reality content? - The technology allows for the creation of higher resolution frames using low-resolution micro-displays, enhancing the overall visual experience for users.
2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this system in virtual and augmented reality applications? - By utilizing low-resolution micro-displays to create higher resolution frames, companies can save costs on expensive high-resolution display components.
Original Abstract Submitted
head-mounted virtual and augmented reality display systems include a light projector with one or more emissive micro-displays having a first resolution and a pixel pitch. the projector outputs light forming frames of virtual content having at least a portion associated with a second resolution greater than the first resolution. the projector outputs light forming a first subframe of the rendered frame at the first resolution, and parts of the projector are shifted using actuators, such that physical positions of light output for individual pixels occupy gaps between the old locations of light output for individual pixels. the projector then outputs light forming a second subframe of the rendered frame. the first and second subframes are outputted within the flicker fusion threshold. advantageously, an emissive micro-display (e.g., micro-led display) having a low resolution can form a frame having a higher resolution by using the same light emitters to function as multiple pixels of that frame.
