Abstract
An apparatus to automatically adjust image distortions is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a driver operable to generate images on a screen. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of sensors coupled to the screen. Each sensor detects whether the area under the sensor is illuminated. The apparatus further comprises a circuit coupled to the plurality of sensors and the driver. The circuit is configured to adjust the driver based on illumination of a sub-set of the plurality of sensors.
Claims17
A display operable to automatically adjust image misalignment, the display comprising:
- a driver, the driver operable to generate images;
- a screen coupled to the driver, the screen displaying the generated images by illuminating an area of the screen;
- a plurality of sensors integrated in the screen for aligning the generated images on the screen, each sensor detecting illumination of the screen on an area below the sensor;
- and
- a circuit coupled to the plurality of sensors and the driver, the circuit configured to automatically determine center values of the generated images on the screen based on the center values of the generated images.
