Integrated display and capture apparatus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An integrated imaging apparatus for displaying images while capturing images of a scene, comprising:
- a) an electronic display having an array of display pixels which are used to display image content;
b) at least one image capture device which captures an image, wherein the image capture device having at least an imaging lens and an image sensor array;
c) wherein the image capture device looks through an aperture in the display, the aperture formed by a plurality of partially transparent pixels; and
wherein the partially transparent pixels also provide light to display image content; and
d) wherein the plurality of the partially transparent pixels is patterned in groups to form multiple apertures, with the partially transparent pixels patterned, either individually or in clusters, in a periodic or quasi-periodic manner within the groups.

21. An integrated imaging apparatus for displaying images while capturing images of a scene, comprising:
-
a) an electronic display having an array of display pixels which are used to display image content; b) at least one image capture device which captures an image, wherein the image capture device comprises at least an imaging lens and an image sensor array; c) image processing electronics, which enhance the quality of the displayed image content, or the quality of the captured images, or both; d) wherein the image capture device looks through or is associated with an aperture in the display, the aperture comprising at least one partially transparent pixel; and e) wherein the image processing electronics control the operation of the display pixels or the at least one partially transparent pixel, either individually or in combination, to reduce the visibility of image artifacts for either the displayed image content or the captured images or both. - View Dependent Claims (22)
