SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT TO PRODUCE IMAGES FOR A NEAR-EYE LIGHT FIELD DISPLAY HAVING A DEFECT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving defect information for a first pixel of a microdisplay of a near-eye light field display device, the first pixel contributing to a portion of a retinal image;
identifying a second pixel of the microdisplay that also contributes to the portion of the retinal image; and
modifying, based on the defect information, a value of the second pixel within an array of elemental images to produce a corrected array of elemental images for display by the microdisplay.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for producing images for a near-eye light field display. Defect information for a first pixel of a microdisplay of a near-eye light field display device is received and a second pixel of the microdisplay is identified, where the first pixel and the second pixel contribute to a portion of the retinal image. Based on the defect information, a value of the second pixel within an array of elemental images is modified to produce a corrected array of elemental images for display by the microdisplay. An optical apparatus of the near-eye light field display device may, for example, be a microlens of a microlens array positioned between a viewer and an emissive microdisplay or a pinlight of a pinlight array positioned behind a transmissive microdisplay relative to the viewer.

15. A system comprising:
-
microdisplay of a near-eye light field display device, the microdisplay positioned between a near focus plane and a retina; and a processor configured to; receive defect information for a first pixel of the microdisplay, the first pixel contributing to a portion of a retinal image; identify a second pixel of the microdisplay that also contributes to the portion of the retinal image; and adapt, based on the defect information, a value of the second pixel within an array of elemental images to produce a corrected array of elemental images for display by the microdisplay. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:
-
receiving defect information for a first pixel of a microdisplay of a near-eye light field display device, the first pixel contributing to a portion of a retinal image; identifying a second pixel of the microdisplay that also contributes to the portion of the retinal image; and modifying, based on the defect information, a value of the second pixel within an array of elemental images to produce a corrected array of elemental images for display by the microdisplay.
