METHODS FOR ADJUSTING DISPLAY ENGINE PERFORMANCE PROFILES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17660816 Titled 'METHODS FOR ADJUSTING DISPLAY ENGINE PERFORMANCE PROFILES'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for a display engine that uses an optical imaging pathway and an illumination beam pathway. The optical imaging pathway includes a selectively reflective image forming device, while the illumination beam pathway consists of an optical source cluster, optical componentry for generating uniform illumination, and photodiodes for capturing reflected light. A controller commands the image forming device to operate with a specific reflectivity. During this operation, the optical source emits a pulse of light and the photodiodes capture the reflected light. The performance of the optical sources and the image forming device can be adjusted based on the data obtained from the photodiodes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system is presented for a display engine. An optical imaging pathway comprises at least a selectively reflective image forming device. An illumination beam pathway comprises an optical source cluster including one or more optical sources, optical componentry configured to generate uniform illumination of the selectively reflective image forming device, and one or more photodiodes positioned to capture light reflected off the selectively reflective image forming device. A controller is configured to command the selectively reflective image forming device to operate with a predetermined reflectivity. While the selectively reflective image forming device is operating with the predetermined reflectivity, the optical source is commanded to emit a pulse of light and the one or more photodiodes are read out. A performance profile of one or more of the optical sources and the selectively reflective image forming device is adjusted based on the photodiode readout.
