Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A contoured display that includes a faceplate configured to propagate an image in a collimated manner from an interface surface of the faceplate configured to receive the image from a display device to a display surface of the faceplate. The display surface is contoured to provide a three-dimensional (3D) contoured surface that provides designers with artistic freedom when designing a display shape, and a convenient way to contour a display surface to reduce the effects of glare on the display surface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A contoured display comprising: an image device configured to output an image; and a faceplate configured to propagate the image in a collimated manner from an interface surface of the faceplate to a display surface of the faceplate, wherein the display surface is a contoured surface, wherein the faceplate is formed of a plurality of parallel optical fibers, each optical fiber having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first ends of the…
