SWITCHING DUAL LAYER DISPLAY WITH INDEPENDENT LAYER CONTENT AND A DYNAMIC MASK

摘要

A dual layer display system for generating dimensional imagery. The system includes a first display device and a second display device with a light source. The second display device is arranged to be spaced apart from the first display device and to project output light onto a back surface of the first display device. The system alternatively operates the display devices in a first mode in which the first display device is transparent and the second display device displays back layer content and in a second mode in which the first display device displays front layer content and the second display device operates as a backlight to the first display device. In the first mode, the first display device displays a mask for the front layer content such as with gray-to-black pixels mapped to an object in the front layer content to block back layer content at this location.

主权项

1. A switching dual layer display system for providing a dimensional display, comprising:
a first display device; a second display device with a light source, the second display device being arranged to be spaced apart from the first display device and to project output light onto a back surface of the first display device; and a display controller first operating the first and second display devices in a first mode in which the first display device is transparent and the second display device displays back layer content and second operating the first and second display devices in a second mode in which the first display device displays front layer content and the second display device operates as a backlight to the first display device.
