Embodiments of modifying an optical characteristic of a screen are disclosed.

Screen characteristic modification

A display system may include an identifier configured to identify an image display condition associated with the display of an image produced by the display system, an apparatus configured to produce a plurality of differently colored images, and a display device. The images have color characteristics based on image information and the identified display condition. Differently colored images may be directed along associated portions of an optical path. The display device may be coupled to the apparatus and may be configured to display a color image formed of the differently colored images.

Adaptive image display

A method of producing a display image comprises receiving image information representing an image to be displayed, producing an image formed of a plurality of images of different colors, and projecting the produced image along an optical path. The differently colored images have color intensities related to energy applied to a light source. A level of energy is applied to the light source during production of the image of one color that is different than the level of energy applied to the light source during production of the image of another color.

Display image generation with differential illumination

A display system is configured to produce a color image formed of a plurality of differently colored images and may include at least one light source that directs light along an optical path, and at least one filter having a given optical filter characteristic. The display system may be selectively operable in a first state in which the optical path does not pass through a first filter during production of the plurality of differently colored images to form a color image having a first optical characteristic, and in a second state in which the optical path passes through the first filter during production of the plurality of differently colored images to form a color image having a second optical characteristic different than the first optical characteristic.

Selectable color adjustment for image display

A method for adjusting color of images displayed in ambient light. A signal may be sensed from a plurality of spectral regions of an ambient light source to define a sensed signature of the ambient light source. The sensed signature may be compared to predetermined signatures of candidate light sources to identify a candidate light source that corresponds to the ambient light source. Images may be created so that the images are modified by a predefined color adjustment for the candidate light source identified.

Adjustment of color in displayed images based on identification of ambient light sources

Signaling a display device to automatically characterize a video signal is disclosed. In a method of an embodiment of the invention, a display device that has a video signal characterization circuit is signaled to automatically characterize a video signal of a video source. A predetermined characterization image is provided on the video signal of the video source for the display device to automatically characterize.
