Abstract: A display has an array of display pixels formed from display layers such as one or more polarizer layers, a substrate on which an array of display pixel elements such as color filter elements and downconverter elements are formed, a liquid crystal layer, and a thin-film transistor layer that includes display pixel electrodes and display pixel thin-film transistors for driving control signals onto the display pixel electrodes to modulate light passing through the display pixels. A light source such as one or more laser diodes or light-emitting diodes may be used to generate light for the display. The light may be launched into the edge of a polymer layer or other light guide plate structure. A light guide plate may include phase-matched structures such as holographically recorded gratings or photonic lattices that direct the light upwards through the array of display pixels.

Abstract: A display calibration system may be used to calibrate a display. The display calibration system may have an image sensor that captures images of the display. An electrically controllable tunable filter such as an electrically tunable liquid crystal birefringence cell filter may be used to produce various wavelength-dependent filter characteristics in accordance with a variety of different filter settings. Control circuitry in the display calibration system may be used to adjust the filter to implement one or more color matching functions or to produce other desired filter characteristics for the display calibration system. The image sensor may measure light emitted from the display while the control circuitry is adjusting the filter. The control circuitry may then process the measured light to produce calibration data for the display. The calibration data may be loaded into the display by the control circuitry to calibrate the display.

Abstract: A device may have a display with an array of pixels for displaying three-dimensional images for a viewer. Each pixel may have an array of subpixels and associated lens structures. A beam steerer may be interposed between the array of pixels and the viewer. The beam steerer may steer light that is emitted from the array of pixels towards the viewer. The electronic device may have a camera that monitors the location of the viewer. The beam steerer may be adjusted based on information on the location of the viewer that is gathered from the camera. Other input-output devices such as an accelerometer may also be used in gathering information that is used in adjusting the beam steerer. Different sets of data may be supplied to the array of pixels based on the location of the viewer.
