Pixel subpixel

Various ways of making full-color displays have been proposed. These are summarized in Figure 7.14. Perhaps the most obvious method is simply to fabricate red, green, and blue subpixels side by side on the same substrate (Figure 7.14a). Many companies have adopted this approach, e.g., Pioneer demonstrated a full-color QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) display at the Japan Electronics Show in 1998. Figure 7.15 is an example of a full-color display patterned using a side-by-side approach. 

In this section, the GLRT under the two competing hypotheses Hq and Hj for a certain mixture model is described. The subpixel detection model for a measurement x (a pixel vector) is expressed as... 

Most commonly used interrogation region dimensions are 64 x 64 pixels for autocorrelation, and 32 x 32 pixels for cross-correlation analysis. Since the maximum particle displacement is about a third of these dimensions, to achieve reasonable accuracy and dynamic range for PIV measurements, it is necessary to be able to measure the particle displacements with subpixel accuracy. 

A spatial frequency low-pass filter can reduce the high-frequency noise generated by the camera, and ensure that the subpixel interpolation algorithm can still work in cases where the particles in the image map are less than 2 pixels in diameter. Typical image to vector processing sequence is shown in Fignre 4-63. 

After having presented the first mature FLC prototypes in 1988 (black and white) and 1992 (color). Canon in Tokyo is now manufacturing the first 15 in. (37.5 cm) FLC panel with 1280x1024 pixels, where each pixel, of size 230 pm x 230 pm, can display 16 different colors because it is composed of four dots or subpixels. This screen (Fig. 87) has a remarkable performance and does not resemble anything else in its absolute freedom of flicker. At the other end of the scale, Displaytech Inc., U.S.A.,... 

Plasma monitors have pixel compartments that contain xenon and neon gas. Each pixel consists of three subpixels one containing a red phosphor, one with a green phosphor, and one with a blue phosphor. Two perpendicular sets of electrodes define a matrix around the subpixels ... 

It is more useful to pattern the polarizer in pixelated form. For example, it may be possible to make transflective displays with subpixels having different polarizer orientations, with one subpixel being in the transmissive mode and the other one being in the reflective mode. We shall discuss such a possibility in Section 5.3. 

With the help of simple masks, photoalignment provides a means of patterning polarizers and phase retarders inside an LCD. It offers display designers much more freedom in optimizing the performance of the display. In addition to patterned polarizers and retardation films, photoalignment also allows different areas or subpixels to have different LCD modes. Many types of displays will become possible with the availability of such patterning of the pixels and subpixels. One...
