LIGHT SOURCE UNIT AND IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538112 titled 'LIGHT SOURCE UNIT AND IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract describes a light source unit that includes a display device emitting light with a Lambertian light distribution and displaying an image, along with an imaging optical system that forms a corresponding image.
- Display device emits light with a Lambertian light distribution and displays images using pixels arranged in a matrix configuration.
- Pixels at the outermost perimeter are arranged to prevent the formation of a rectangle when connecting their centers.
- Imaging optical system includes input and output elements for forming the image, which is substantially telecentric at the first image side.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various display applications such as monitors, TVs, and projectors. - It can also be applied in medical imaging devices, virtual reality systems, and augmented reality glasses.
Problems Solved: - Provides a more uniform and efficient light distribution for better image quality. - Prevents distortion or artifacts in the displayed image due to the unique arrangement of pixels.
Benefits: - Improved image quality with a more uniform light distribution. - Enhanced viewing experience with reduced distortion and artifacts. - Increased efficiency in light utilization for energy savings.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Light Source Unit for Enhanced Display Quality This technology can be commercialized in the consumer electronics industry for manufacturing high-quality displays with improved image rendering. It can also be utilized in the medical imaging sector for enhancing diagnostic equipment and in the entertainment industry for creating immersive visual experiences.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of display technologies, optical systems, and pixel arrangements to explore similar innovations and advancements in the industry.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in display technology, optical systems, and image rendering techniques to enhance the performance and efficiency of light source units.

Original Abstract Submitted
A light source unit includes: a display device configured to emit light having a substantially Lambertian light distribution and to display an image, the display device including a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix configuration in a same plane, wherein pixels among the plurality of pixels located at an outermost perimeter are arranged so that straight lines connecting centers of the pixels located at the outermost perimeter do not form a rectangle; and an imaging optical system including: an input element on which light emitted from the display device is incident, and an output element on which light traveling via the input element is incident, light emitted from the output element forming a first image corresponding to the image. The imaging optical system is substantially telecentric at a first image side.
