20110095995Infrared Touchscreen for Rear Projection Video Control Panels - A control panel system has a projection screen with an inside surface for being illuminated to produce a graphical display and with an outside surface accessible to a user. An illumination source projects radiation to illuminate the projection screen, wherein the radiation includes visible radiation and infrared radiation. An optical distribution system distributes the visible radiation according to an image for the graphical display and distributes the infrared radiation according to a predetermined pattern, wherein the projection screen transmits the infrared radiation out from the outside surface where it can be reflected back toward the optical distribution system by a manually-controlled object that is placed by the user in relation to the image. An infrared sensor receives the reflected infrared radiation from the optical distribution system and generates a detection signal identifying the location of the manually-controlled object in response to the predetermined pattern.04-28-2011

20090262055Method and System for Grayscale Resolution Enhancement in Video Systems - A method and system for enhancing the grayscale resolution of display systems using 8-bit imaging arrays. The grayscale resolution is increased by providing a resolution greater than 8 bits. The on-time for each shade is subdivided in two sub-frames. During a first subframe, a full intensity light source is turned on and the imaging array processes five most significant bits of data, while least significant bits are stuffed with zeros. During a second subframe, the light source is turned on at reduced intensity and the imaging array processes the three least significant bits, which are left-shifted. The data byte for the second subframe is filled out using Digital Signal Processor (DSP) data obtained by over-sampling or interpolation. The lower order bits may be also stuffed with zeros.10-22-2009
