METHOD AND SYSTEM USING REFRACTIVE BEAM MAPPER TO REDUCE MOIRÉ INTERFERENCE IN A DISPLAY SYSTEM INCLUDING MULTIPLE DISPLAYS
A multi-display system (e.g., a display including multiple display panels) includes at least first and second displays (e.g., display panels or display layers) arranged substantially parallel to each other in order to display three-dimensional (3D) features to a viewer(s). An optical element(s) such as at least a refractive beam mapper (RBM) is utilized in order to reduce moiré interference.
Image processing may be performed to generate a color image for display on a color display screen (120) and a monochrome image for display on a monochrome display screen (130), where an overlap of the images may produce a resultant color image at one or more depths. The one or more depths may be determined by an amount of blur applied to one image and an amount of sharpness applied to other. The one or more depths may be determined by a gamma value of the monochrome image. Since the monochrome display screen (130) may have fewer or no color filters and/or a lower resolution, the monochrome display screen (130) may pass more light than conventional color display screens. As such, less light can be used to illuminate color images displayed at different depths using a color display screen (120) and a monochrome display screen (130), thereby reducing energy consumption of the display device (100).

DETERMINING A POSITION FOR AN INTERSTITIAL DIFFUSER FOR A MULTI-COMPONENT DISPLAY
A method and system for determining a position for an interstitial diffuser for use in a multi-component display is disclosed. Embodiments preferably utilize a camera to capture images of visual output from one or more display screens of a multi-component display, where each image may be taken with an interstitial diffuser at a different position between the display screens. The images may be used to analyze the Moiré interference and blur of the visual output at each position of the diffuser. Moiré interference values for each diffuser position may be determined by processing images captured of the visual output while each display screen displays a white image. Blur values for each diffuser position may be determined by comparing images captured of the visual output with a reference image.
An improved optical diffuser for use in a multi-component display (MCD), and also to a method of manufacturing the same, is disclosed. Embodiments provide an optical diffuser film which may be manufactured with fewer manual operations, at a lower cost, and in larger volume than conventional optical diffusers. The optical diffuser film may include a flexible polymer substrate coupled to an optical diffuser material with a plurality of features for diffusing light. The optical diffuser film may be stored, transported, or otherwise handled more easily and with less damage than conventional optical diffusers. Additionally, the optical diffuser film may be coupled to a rigid substrate to reduce distortion of the optical diffuser, thereby providing improved optical performance.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING DISPLAY QUALITY OF A MULTI-COMPONENT DISPLAY
A method, computer-usable medium, and system for processing graphical data for display on a multi-component display is disclosed. Embodiments improve the display quality of multi-component displays by modifying graphical data to preemptively compensate for distortion caused by interstitial layers and/or display screens of the multi-component display, thereby enabling display of graphical objects from multi- component displays with improved optical characteristics. For example, where components of a multi-component display blur displayed images, graphical data used to display graphical objects may be modified to sharpen the graphical objects before display. The pre-sharpening amplifies the high frequency components of the displayed graphical objects to compensate for the dampening caused by passing the graphical objects through the components of the multi-component display.
