| 20100066770 | Pulse Width Modulation Display Pixels with Spatial Manipulation - Systems and methods of producing images are provided. Data corresponding to a first set of display pixels is received. When it is determined that a transition occurs in the first set of display pixels, a position of at least one display pixel in the first set of display pixels is adjusted based on the determined transition. The adjustment can involve adjusting a center of a pulse that causes formation of the display pixel away from a center of a modulation window. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100171931 | LINE ILLUMINATION APPARATUS USING LASER ARRAYS - An illumination apparatus forms, onto a linear array light modulator, a line of illumination that extends in a linear direction. The illumination apparatus has a first laser array with laser emitters for forming a first linear beam array and a second laser array with laser emitters for forming a second linear beam array.

| 20100177123 | EDGE REPRODUCTION IN OPTICAL SCANNING DISPLAYS - When producing an image in an optical scanning device, such as an optical scanning device employing pulse width modulation, for example, edges are reproduced by illuminating, within a pixel through which an edge passes, an off-centered location towards the lighter illumination side of the edge. Such a technique reproduces an edge with reduced jagging and with accurate color as compared to conventional displays. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100177129 | ARTIFACT REDUCTION IN OPTICAL SCANNING DISPLAYS - When producing an image in an optical scanning device, such as an optical scanning device employing pulse width modulation, for example, a pixel or its adjacent pixels are illuminated over a period at least as a function of a sequence of illumination data. Such pixel or its adjacent pixels are illuminated, however, at different locations within the pixel or its adjacent pixels over the period. This varying of the illumination-location within pixels over time reduces the “screen-door effect” present in conventional displays. | 07-15-2010 |
