First Claim
Patent Images
1. A head-mounted display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel having pixels for forming an image to be displayed to a viewer by selectively passing light; and
a sequential color generator optically disposed between a light source for generating light and the display panel, the sequential color generator operating on the light from the light source to direct a plurality of primary colors toward the display panel in a sequential order; and
a frame that mounts the panel and sequential color generator on a user'"'"'s head.

Abstract
A color active matrix display system allows random access of pixel electrodes. The control electronics is fabricated with the active matrix circuitry using single crystal silicon technology. The control electronics includes a random access data scanner and random access spec scanners. By selectively actuating pixel electrodes in the active matrix display region, compressed video information can be directly displayed on the active matrix display panel. Color stripes are used to generate sequential color systems to produce a color image from the active matrix display panel.

10. A head-mounted display apparatus comprising:
-
a monocular display module mounted on a frame to be positioned on a user'"'"'s head; a display panel within the module having pixels that form an image to be displayed to a viewer by selectively passing light; and a sequential color generator optically disposed between a light source for generating light and the display panel such that a plurality of colors from the light source can be directed through any selected pixels, the sequential color generator directing the plurality of colors of light from the light source toward the display panel in a sequential order to provide a color image. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A method of using a communications device for displaying a color image to a viewer'"'"'s eye comprising the steps of:
-
providing a wireless transceiver for providing audio and video information to the user; providing an audio transducer adjacent to the user; providing a display panel adjacent to the user'"'"'s eye, the display panel having pixels for forming an image; providing a sequential color generator in an optical path adjacent to the display panel; generating a plurality of colors with the sequential color generator and directing the colors sequentially at any selected pixels of the display panel; and displaying a partial image with each color in sequence to provide a color image to the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A communications device for interfacing with a user, comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver for providing audio and video information to the user; an audio transducer adjacent to the user; a display panel having pixels for forming an image adjacent to the user'"'"'s eye; a light source providing light having a plurality of color components; and a sequential color circuit connected to the display panel such that each color can be sequentially directed at each pixel of the display panel to form a partial image of each color component in sequence, the sequence of partial images forming a color image. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
