A virtual retinal display utilizes photon generation and manipulation to create a panoramic, high resolution, color virtual image that is projected directly onto the retina of the eye without creating a real or an aerial image that is viewed via a mirror or optics (18). The virtual retinal display includes a source of photons (12), the photons being modulated (14) with video information (40) and scanned in a raster type of pattern directly onto the retina of the user's eye. The photon generator (12) may utilize coherent or non-coherent light. Further, the photon generator may utilize color light generators (80, 82, 84) so as to scan a colored virtual image directly onto the retina of the user's eye. The virtual retinal display may also include a depth accommodation cue to vary the focus of scanned photons rapidly so as to control the depth perceived by a user for each individual picture element of the virtual image. Further, an eye tracking system (106) may be utilized to sense the position of an entrance pupil of the user's eye, the detected pupil position being utilized to move the scanned photons so as to be approximately coincident with the entrance pupil of the eye.

A mobile computing device can comprise a microprocessor, a display, at least one motion sensor, and an imaging device including a two-dimensional image sensor and an imaging lens configured to focus an image of a target object on the image sensor. The mobile computing device can be configured to periodically display a preview image frame of the target object. The mobile computing device can be further configured to compensate for a movement of the imaging device relatively to the target object during a time period elapsed between taking and displaying the preview image frame, by transforming the preview image frame based on the device movement detected by the motion sensor.

A drive circuit of an image display apparatus has a correction circuit for outputting driving data that is corrected on the basis of a correction value. The correction value is a correction value that corrects variation of brightness of a plurality of pixels. The correction on the basis of the correction value is a correction such that the number of pixels to be darkened by the correction when the driving data inputted for the plurality of pixels have a common first value is fewer than the number of pixels to be darkened by the correction when the driving data inputted for the plurality of pixels have a common second value larger than the first value.

Image Display Apparatus

A direct viewing picture image display apparatus displays a good picture image with a small amount of light and low power consumption using a laser beam without producing speckle noises. The display apparatus comprises a light source for emitting a laser beam, an optical modulating system for optically modulating the laser beam from the light source in response to a video signal, a scanning system for horizontally and vertically scanning the modulated laser beam from the scanning signal in response to a scanning signal, and a projecting optical system for projecting the scanned laser beam from the scanning system to form an image of the laser beam on the retina of an eye of an observer. Depth information is provided to the laser beam at a suitable stage after optical modulation by the optical modulating system so that a stereoscopic image is displayed.

An image data generating method for generating image data corresponding to a planar holographic stereogram is provided, in which a parallax image string imaging system for producing a parallax image string may be reduced in size and in which there is no necessity for using a larger image angle of the imaging device and unneeded image data may be diminished to enable effective data utilization. An image data converting method is also provided in which image data of an image recorded on a holographic stereogram may be promptly produced from plural images from which the holographic stereogram is derived. First, an object or an imaging device is rotated, while the distance between the object and the imaging device is kept substantially constant, for shooting plural images of different viewing angles by the imaging device. The image data of plural images as shot is then corrected for keystone distortion. The image data corrected for keystone distortion is then processed with viewing point conversion processing for converting the viewing point for generating image data of images recorded on the holographic stereogram. In addition, image data including the information for, plural images is compressed for storage in the internal storage device of the computer. With the image data having been read into the internal storage device, only the image data of an image required for image data conversion processing of generating image data of the image recorded on a holographic stereogram is expanded for executing image data conversion processing operations.
