Theodore Mayer, III - Valley Village CA, US
Peter J. Inova - Glendale CA, US
Todd A. Chaney - Burbank CA, US
Lawrence S. Paul - Encino CA, US

Assignee:

Panoram Technologies, Inc. - Sun Valley CA

International Classification:

G09G 5/00
G03B 21/26

US Classification:

345 11, 345 9, 353 30, 348744

Abstract:

An integrated display system includes multiple displays and a transmissive/reflective mirror with a mirror face. Images from display areas of one or more displays are passed through the mirror face and provided to a viewer. Images from display areas of one or more displays are reflected by the mirror face and provided to the viewer. The displays are arrayed to generate a seamless composite image from the images provided by the displays.

Abstract:

A projection system includes multiple imaging heads for projecting a plurality of images, which may be partially overlapped and edge blended to form a projected composite image. The projection system, however, includes only a single light source. The light from the light source is beam split into light portions, and the light portions are applied to the imaging heads via corresponding light guides. Use of the single light source to project all the images may solve colorimetry problems associated with generating projected composite image from multiple projected images, each of which uses a different light source. For projecting the images on a curved surface, the geometry of the images may be distorted using electronic image warping and/or lens-based optical distortion.
