Compact Near-Eye Illumination System

View page
US Patent:
6542307, Apr 1, 2003
Filed:
Jun 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/872073
Inventors:
Philip L. Gleckman - Boulder CO
Miller Schuck - Nederland CO
Assignee:
Three-Five Systems, Inc. - Tempe AZ
International Classification:
G02B 2714
US Classification:
359638, 359833, 359834, 359627
Abstract:
An enhanced illumination system for a micro-display comprises an illuminator for a reflective display panel having a light source and a prism. The prism has a first substantially planar face proximate to the light source and to the display panel, so that light propagates from the light source into the prism through the first face and is redirected to the display panel through the first face. A second face of the prism is positioned opposite the light source so that light reflected from the display panel impinges on the second face and propagates to imaging optics. The illuminator may also include an auxiliary prism optically coupled to the second face of the first prism to correct for astigmatism of the reflected light from the display panel and a beam splitter between the first prism and the auxiliary prism.

US Patent:
6864861, Mar 8, 2005
Filed:
Dec 29, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/222230
Inventors:
Kevin Schehrer - Boulder CO, US
William Cassarly - Lyndhurst OH, US
Douglas McKnight - Boulder CO, US
Russell M. Hudyma - San Ramon CA, US
Jonathan Biles - Vancouver WA, US
Miller Schuck - Nederland CO, US
Karl Armagost - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
Brillian Corporation - Tempe AZ
International Classification:
G09G005/00
US Classification:
345 7, 359630
Abstract:
An image generator having an illuminator, a reflective display device (in one embodiment) and a beamsplitter which produces a virtual image of an image created in a light modulating medium on said reflective display device. In one embodiment, the image generator is a miniature image generator for a relatively small, lightweight head-mounted display which provides a magnified virtual image which is viewed by a viewer. The beamsplitter is optically coupled to the reflective display device. The beamsplitter comprises a film having a plurality of layers including at least a first layer which comprises an oriented birefringent material. The beamsplitter has a wide angle of acceptance.

Light Collectors For Projection Systems

View page
US Patent:
7542206, Jun 2, 2009
Filed:
Jul 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/779711
Inventors:
Miller H. Schuck - Boulder CO, US
Michael G. Robinson - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
Real D - Beverly Hills CA
International Classification:
G02B 5/30
G02B 6/00
G02B 27/28
US Classification:
359495, 359496, 359497, 359502, 362 19, 362551, 362583, 353 20, 385 36
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are light collectors for use in projection applications. The light collectors gather light from surface emitting sources (e. g. , LEDs) of differing color (or same color in some embodiments) using input lightpipes. A light collection system splits the light into orthogonal linear polarization states and efficiently propagates the light by using polarizing beamsplitters (PBSs) and a reflecting element to recycle light at a port of the PBS. Further, the light collection system may efficiently homogenize the light using an output lightpipe in a lightpath from the outputs of the PBSs. In addition, the light collection system may present a single, linear polarization at the output through the use of a half-wave switch (LC cell) in some embodiments or ColorSelect filter in other embodiments. The light collection system may be integrated into a single, monolithic glass, plastic or combination glass/plastic assembly.

Polarization Conversion Systems For Stereoscopic Projection

View page
US Patent:
7905602, Mar 15, 2011
Filed:
Sep 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/864198
Inventors:
Miller H. Schuck - Erie CO, US
Michael G. Robinson - Boulder CO, US
Gary D. Sharp - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
RealD Inc. - Beverly Hills CA
International Classification:
G03B 21/14
US Classification:
353 20, 353 10, 353 31
Abstract:
A polarization conversion system (PCS) is located in the output light path of a projector. The PCS may include a polarizing beam splitter, a polarization rotating element, a reflecting element, and a polarization switch. Typically, a projector outputs randomly-polarized light. This light is input to the PCS, in which the PCS separates p-polarized light and s-polarized light at the polarizing beam splitter. P-polarized light is directed toward the polarization switch on a first path. The s-polarized light is passed on a second path through the polarization rotating element (e. g. , a half-wave plate), thereby transforming it to p-polarized light. A reflecting element directs the transformed polarized light (now p-polarized) along the second path toward the polarization switch. The first and second light paths are ultimately directed toward a projection screen to collectively form a brighter screen image in cinematic applications utilizing polarized light for three-dimensional viewing.

Waveplate Compensation In Projection Polarization Conversion System

US Patent:
8328362, Dec 11, 2012
Filed:
Feb 24, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/034643
Inventors:
David A. Coleman - Louisville CO, US
Miller H. Schuck - Erie CO, US
Gary D. Sharp - Boulder CO, US
Scott E. Gilman - Lyons CO, US
Assignee:
RealD Inc. - Beverly Hills CA
International Classification:
G03B 21/14
US Classification:
353 20, 353 7, 353 8, 353 30, 353 31, 353 37, 353 38, 353 98, 353122, 35948906, 35948907, 349 18, 349 96
Abstract:
Three dimensional projection systems may be single projector or multiple projector systems. These 3D projection systems may include a polarization conversion system (PCS). The PCS may be designed for relatively small throw ratios and thus, may be designed to accommodate the small throw ratios. The PCS may include a polarizing beam splitter, a first optical stack, a reflector and a second quarter wave retarder. The first optical stack may include a rotator, a polarizer, a polarization switch and a first quarter wave retarder. The PCS may receive light from a projector and the PBS may direct the light toward the first optical stack. The light may be converted to a different polarization state as it passes through the first optical stack. The converted light may then be re-directed by a reflecting element to the second quarter wave retarder. The second quarter wave retarder may convert linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light.
