Abstract
Image-adaptive technologies supportive of better vision. Working with ordinary image display devices and, optionally, specialized ones, a number of embodiments are disclosed that provide displayed images better able to be perceived by those with, for example, macular degeneration, poor night-vision and cataracts. In both ordinary and worn display embodiments, an image, potentially of the viewer's instant surroundings, is displayed whose fundamental light components and/or managed processes result in better visual perception.
Claims12
A device for a viewer comprising:
- a display to display at least one image to the viewer;
- a processor configured to direct said display to, in displaying at least one pixel of said at least one image, at least emit, at least when extra perceived brightness is desired, at least one wavelength known to be among those that a retina is particularly sensitive to instead of alternative wavelength choices that the retina is less sensitive to even if said alternative wavelength choices are better at reproducing the color identified in said at least one image.
A device for a viewer comprising:
- a display, capable of emitting at least one wavelength known to be among those that a retina is very sensitive to, to display at least one image to the viewer;
- and
- a processor configured to direct at least one use of said at least one wavelength in the display of said at least one image to enhance a retinal sensitivity of the viewer to light from said display.
