Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed here in is a method of adjusting a tunable illuminating light source with a reflective display for a head mounted display to reduce chromatic artifacts in an image provided to a user's eye. The method includes identifying a color associated with a chromatic-related artifact in a displayed image and adjusting the tunable illuminating light source to reduce the brightness of the color associated with the chromatic-related artifact.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of adjusting a tunable illuminating light source with a reflective display for a head mounted display to reduce chromatic artifacts in an image provided to a user's eye, comprising: identifying a color associated with a chromatic-related artifact in a displayed image; and adjusting the tunable illuminating light source to reduce the brightness of the color associated with the chromatic-related artifact. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tunable illuminating light source further comprises multiple LEDs with different colors. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein adjusting comprises reducing the brightness of one of the LEDs relative to the brightness of the other LEDs. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the chromatic-related artifact is lateral color. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the chromatic-related artifact is a diffractive artifact associated with a lower diffractive order. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tunable illuminating light source provides sequential color illumination of the reflective display. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tunable illuminating light source provides non-sequential illumination of the reflective display.
