Projector with dual modulation display compensating for psf imperfections
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11889236B2) discloses a novel projector design featuring a pre-modulator, a primary modulator, and relay optics to project high-quality images. The innovation lies in compensating for imperfections in the Point Spread Function (PSF) of the relay optics by modifying the backlight image used to energize the pre-modulator. This modification involves creating a backlight image composed of a divided sequence, with each bit sequence representing a different partial half-tone image that includes compensation for the relay optics. By synchronizing the bit sequences on the pre-modulator and primary modulator, the projector ensures the final image quality is optimized across frames.
Moreover, the patented projector is specifically configured for 3D image projection, with left and right images projected through glasses designed for viewing such content. The projector utilizes laser light sources to illuminate the pre-modulator, with specific left and right backlight images for each wavelength. The glasses incorporate wavelength selective filters that pass modulated wavelengths of the left and right images, with spectral properties shifted towards longer wavelengths for enhanced viewing experience. Additionally, the projector and glasses are designed to capture compensated half-tone images modulated for viewing at oblique angles, providing a comprehensive 3D viewing solution. The divided sequence used in the backlight image is structured as a quad sequence divided into four partitions for each frame, ensuring efficient and synchronized image projection for an immersive viewing experience.
