Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for driving an adaptable light manipulator and a pixel array in a coordinated fashion so as to achieve a selected one of a plurality of possible viewing configurations of an adaptable two-dimensional/three-dimensional image display. Methods, systems, and apparatuses are also described for driving an adaptable light manipulator, a pixel array and a non-uniform light generator in a coordinated fashion so as to achieve a selected one of plurality of possible viewing configurations of an adaptable two-dimensional/three-dimensional image display.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system used with a display that includes a pixel array, a backlight array, and an adaptable light manipulator, the pixel array, the backlight array, and the adaptable light manipulator selectively providing a first viewing configuration and a second viewing configuration that is different from the first viewing configuration, the system comprising: pixel array driver circuitry, coupled to the pixel array, that is controllable to selectively deliver pixel d…
