    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus that is capable of being efficiently aligned using a remotely controlled alignment function and a method of displaying a stereoscopic image using the same are disclosed. The stereoscopic image display apparatus includes a polarizing beam splitter for spatially splitting image light emitted by a projector into at least one transmitted beam and at least one reflected beam based on polarized components, at least one modulator for adjusting the transmitted beam and the reflected beam such that the transmitted beam and the reflected beam have different polarization directions when a left image and a right image are projected by the transmitted beam and the reflected beam, an angle adjustment unit for adjusting the position on a screen on which the transmitted beam is projected in response to a first remote control signal, a remote-control alignment type reflecting member for adjusting the path of the reflected beam in response to a second remote control signal such that the reflected beam overlaps the transmitted beam projected on the position on the screen adjusted in response to the first remote control signal in order to form a single image, and a remote controller remotely connected to the angle adjustment unit and the remote-control alignment type reflecting member for transmitting the first remote control signal and the second remote control signal to the angle adjustment unit and the remote-control alignment type reflecting member, respectively.

    Abstract: A stiffening strip at selected edges of a screen may enable the use and mounting of a high-elastic modulus substrate screen material. Such screen materials may be engineered to provide polarization-preserving characteristics, and be applied to or part of the high-elastic modulus substrate. Furthermore, the stiffening strip may enable the use of screen vibration techniques to reduce speckle in display applications that use projection screens, particularly those display applications using illumination sources prone to speckle such as laser-based projection. The screen vibration may be provided by a vibrating device attached to the stiffening strip.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for solving speckle problems by exciting the screen with a more complex vibration spectrum. A range of frequencies provides, in effect, a collection of overlapping patterns of high and low displacement, so that all regions of the screen have enough motion to reduce visible speckle. As previously discussed acceptable speckle may be approximately 15% contrast or less, preferably approximately 5% contrast or less at approximately 15 feet from the screen.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides discussion of screen vibration to reduce speckle in display applications and/or projection screens. Electrical transducers or reactors may be used with a screen to reduce or remove speckle in projection screens and/or display applications. Electrical transducers may not be directly mounted to a screen, thus eliminating many mechanical failure modes associated with a vibrating transducer as well as resulting in a much quieter operation. By design, the reactors or transducers may actually contact the screen, and can take up less than one square inch of screen surface each, than previous designs, which may be outside of the active viewing area and within 12 inches of the screen border, preferably less than approximately 1 inch from screen edge. The reactors are magnets, though any ferrous material can be made to work with certain operating conditions.

    Abstract: An imaging directional backlight apparatus includes a waveguide and a light source array for providing large area directed illumination from localized light sources. The waveguide may include a stepped structure. The steps may include extraction features optically hidden to guided light, propagating in a first forward direction. Returning light propagating in a second backward direction may be refracted, diffracted, or reflected by the features, providing discrete illumination beams exiting from the top surface of the waveguide. Viewing windows are formed through imaging individual light sources and define the relative positions of system elements and ray paths. The uncorrected system creates non-illuminated void portions when viewed off-axis preventing uniform wide angle 2D illumination modes. The input end may have microstructures arranged to remove this non uniformity at wide angles. The microstructures may have reduced reflectivity for parts of the input end that contribute to stray light in privacy and autostereoscopic modes.

    Abstract: An imaging directional backlight apparatus including a waveguide, a light source array, for providing large area directed illumination from localized light sources. The waveguide may include a stepped structure, in which the steps may further include extraction features optically hidden to guided light, propagating in a first forward direction. Returning light propagating in a second deflected direction may be refracted, diffracted, or reflected by the features to provide discrete illumination beams exiting from the top surface of the waveguide. Viewing windows are formed through imaging individual light sources from the side of the waveguide and hence defines the relative positions of system elements and ray paths. A directional backlight with small footprint and low thickness may be provided.
