In embodiments of the invention, an apparatus may include a display comprising a plurality of pixels and a computer system coupled with the display and operable to instruct the display to display images. The apparatus may further include an SLM array located adjacent to the display and comprising a plurality of SLMs, wherein the SLM array is operable to produce a light field by altering light emitted by the display to simulate an object that is in focus to an observer while the display and the SLM array are located within a near-eye range of the observer.

Near-eye parallax barrier displays

In embodiments of the invention, an apparatus may include a display comprising a plurality of pixels. The apparatus may further include a computer system coupled with the display and operable to instruct the display to display a deconvolved image corresponding to a target image, wherein when the display displays the deconvolved image while located within a near-eye range of an observer, the target image may be perceived in focus by the observer.

Near-eye optical deconvolution displays

In embodiments of the invention, a method may include displaying an array of slits using a first light-attenuating spatial light modulator, displaying a pre-filtered image using a second light-attenuating SLM by attenuating rays of light originating from a surrounding environment to synthesis a near-eye light field, where the rays of light pass through the first and second light-attenuating SLMs, and selectively blocking the rays of light originating from the surrounding environment using the array of slits to generate a virtual image in said near-eye light field.

In embodiments of the invention, an apparatus may include a display comprising a plurality of pixels and a computer system coupled with the display and operable to instruct the display to display images. The apparatus may further include a microlens array located adjacent to the display and comprising a plurality of microlenses, wherein the microlens array is operable to produce a light field by altering light emitted by the display to simulate an object that is in focus to an observer while the display and the microlens array are located within a near-eye range of the observer.

A method, computer program product, and system for adjusting a dynamic refresh frequency of a display device are disclosed. The method includes the steps of obtaining a current frame duration associated with a first image, computing, based on the current frame duration, a repetition value for a second image, and repeating presentation of the second image on a display device based on the repetition value. The logic for implementing the method may be included in a graphics processing unit or within the display device itself.

Dynamic frame repetition in a variable refresh rate system

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for combining low motion blur and variable refresh rate in a display. In one embodiment, a hold-type display is operated in a first mode of operation where the hold-type display is dynamically refreshed such that the hold type display handles updates to image frames at unpredictable times and where for each of the image frames a backlight of the hold-type display is activated for an entire duration of display of the image frame. Additionally, it is determined that at least one predefined condition has been met. Further, in response to the determination, the hold-type display is operated in a second mode of operation where the hold-type display is statically refreshed such that the hold-type display handles updates to image frames at regular intervals and where for each of the image frames the backlight of the hold-type display is flashed.

The presentation of stereoscopic display content for viewing with passive glasses and full resolution is provided. In use, (a) a frame of stereoscopic display content intended for viewing by one eye of a user is scanned, using a display layer of a display device; (b) the scanned frame is polarized utilizing a polarizing layer of the display device, according to a polarization associated with a lens of stereoscopic glasses worn over the same one eye of the user; (c) a backlight is activated to illuminate the polarized frame, in response to an entirety of the polarized frame being scanned; (d) the display device is held for a predetermined period of time in response to activation of the backlight, and then the backlight is de-activated; and (a)-(d) are then repeated for the other eye of the user, with another frame of stereoscopic display content intended for viewing by the other eye.

System, method, and computer program product for presenting stereoscopic display content for viewing with passive stereoscopic glasses

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for enhancing a viewing experience when display content is viewed utilizing stereo glasses. In use, display content is received for being outputted utilizing a display. Further, a duration of a vertical blanking interval associated with the display content is increased for enhancing a viewing experience when the display content is viewed utilizing the stereo glasses.

System, method, and computer program product for increasing an LCD display vertical blanking interval

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for controlling stereo glasses shutters. In use, a right eye shutter of stereo glasses is controlled to switch between a closed orientation and an open orientation. Further, a left eye shutter of the stereo glasses is controlled to switch between the closed orientation and the open orientation. To this end, the right eye shutter and the left eye shutter of the stereo glasses may be controlled such that the right eye shutter and the left eye shutter simultaneously remain in the closed orientation for a predetermined amount of time.

System, method, and computer program product for controlling stereo glasses shutters

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for a dynamic display refresh. In use, a state of a display device is identified in which an entirety of an image frame is currently displayed by the display device. In response to the identification of the state, it is determined whether an entirety of a next image frame to be displayed has been rendered to memory. The next image frame is transmitted to the display device for display thereof, when it is determined that the entirety of the next image frame to be displayed has been rendered to the memory. Further, a refresh of the display device is delayed, when it is determined that the entirety of the next image frame to be displayed has not been rendered to the memory.

System, method, and computer program product for providing a dynamic display refresh

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for delivering video content over a wide area network (WAN). Included is at least one server for transcoding or transrating the video content for delivery over the WAN.
