Abstract
An apparatus (100) including a pixel diffuser for a stretchable display is disclosed. The apparatus may include an elastic viewable display (110) that is stretched in a first viewable display area configuration and contracted in a second viewable display area configuration. The apparatus can also include a plurality of addressable picture elements (120 and 125) disposed on the elastic viewable display, an optical barrier (132) between each of the plurality of addressable picture elements, and an elastic diffuser (140) optically coupled to the plurality of addressable picture elements on the elastic viewable display. The apparatus can also include an electrical interface (150) coupled to the elastic viewable display.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- an elastic viewable display that is stretched in a first viewable display area configuration and contracted in a second viewable display area configuration;
- a plurality of addressable picture elements disposed on the elastic viewable display;
- an optical barrier between each of the plurality of addressable picture elements;
- an elastic diffuser optically coupled to the plurality of addressable picture elements on the elastic viewable display;
- and
- an electrical interface coupled to the elastic viewable display.
An apparatus comprising:
- a viewable display that is stretched in a first viewable display area configuration and contracted in a second viewable display area configuration;
- a plurality of addressable picture elements disposed on the viewable display;
- an optical barrier between each of the plurality of addressable picture elements, the optical barrier substantially preventing crosstalk between each of the plurality of addressable picture elements;
- a diffuser optically coupled to the plurality of addressable picture elements;
- and
- an electrical interface coupled to the viewable display.
An apparatus comprising:
- a viewable display that is stretched in a first viewable display area configuration and contracted in a second viewable display area configuration, the viewable display having a surface dimension and the viewable display expands in the first viewable display area configuration and contracts in the second viewable display area configuration predominately in a direction substantially parallel to the surface dimension;
- a plurality of addressable picture elements disposed on the viewable display, the plurality of addressable picture elements configured to emit light;
- an optical barrier between each of the plurality of addressable picture elements, the optical barrier substantially preventing crosstalk of light between each of the plurality of addressable picture elements;
- a diffuser optically coupled to the plurality of addressable picture elements, the diffuser configured to diffuse light emitted from the plurality of addressable picture elements;
- and
- an electrical interface coupled to the plurality of addressable picture elements.
