| (54) English Title: | HIGH RESOLUTION LUMINOUS COLOR MATRIX DISPLAY SYSTEM |
| (54) French Title: | SYSTEME D'AFFICHAGE LUMINEUX A MATRICE COULEUR ET A HAUTE RESOLUTION |
English Abstract
Note: The Abstract is shown in the official language in which it was submitted.
A white light source which is situated on one side of a
transparent flat panel matrix display (LCD), is divided into its'
spectral frequencies (colors) so that each of the spectral colors
is directed to an assigned portion of the said flat panel matrix
display surface at a minimum angle of incidence.
Optical fibres or rods are positioned to the opposite face of the
transparent flat panel matrix display so that their ends
correspond to one or more pixels on the said flat panel matrix
display surface and so that an active pixel will block the
spectral source light while an inactive pixel will allow it to
pass through the transparent flat panel matrix display and into
the said fibre or rod.
These same optical fibres or rods are divided into groups which
are then subdivided into sub-groups so that a sub-group carries a
single common spectral color and a group carries a complement or
complete set of spectral colors. Each group of optical fibres or
rods is coupled to a diffuser-attenuator that combines the
spectral output of the said group and controls the total light
intensity output.
Each diffuser-attenuator supplies its' spectral composition of
light power to a single optical fibre or rod, the output end face
of which constitutes a single pixel on the high resolution color
matrix display.
