Abstract:
A piezo scanner apparatus is provided to prevent stress concentration during a repeated driving of an actuator, thereby ensuring stable driving. A piezo scanner apparatus(100) comprises a rotor(110), a piezo-electric actuator(120), an elastic member(130) and a base(140). One or more reflecting members(101) are mounted on the rotor. A friction member(121) is positioned in a front end of the piezo-electric actuator. The friction member contacts the rotor. The piezo-electric actuator provides external force for rotating the rotor. The external force is generated by bending and elastic deformation of the piezo-electric actuator when power is applied. The elastic member provides elastic force for pressurizing the piezo-electric actuator towards the rotor in order to maintain a contacting state between the rotor and the friction member. The base comprises axis supporting parts(141a,141b), an actuator arrangement part(142) and an insertion fixation part(143). A rotation shaft(111a) of the rotor is pivotally assembled in the axis supporting part. The piezo-electric actuator is arranged in the actuator arrangement part. The elastic member is fixed to the insertion fixation part.

Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling electric power of a display device using a beam diffraction modulator is provided to improve brightness characteristics by increasing an average gray scale level of images through an image data process. An apparatus for controlling electric power of a display device using a beam diffraction modulator includes an image signal receiver(310), an image lightness type classifying unit, a brightness compensator, a beam source controller(216), and a beam source driver(224). The image signal receiver receives images from the outside. The image brightness type classifying unit determines a brightness type by obtaining brightness distribution characteristic for every frame. The brightness compensator compensates for the brightness of frames from the image brightness type classifying unit and outputs the compensated result to the beam diffraction modulator. The beam source controller determines beam output according to the brightness type and generates a control signal for generating the determined beam output. The beam source driver controls an optic system according to the control signal.
Abstract:
A method for compensating for a physical variation of an optical modulator and a display device are provided to maintain constant brightness of the display device by compensating for a driving voltage according to a deflection variation of a micro mirror. An optical modulator(320) changes brightness in an inlet beam according to a driving signal and outputs a modulation beam. A driving circuit(325) generates the driving signal according to an image control signal and applies the driving signal to the optical modulator. A scanner(330) scans the modulated beam on a screen. A photo detector(350) detects the modulated beam from the optical modulator. A measuring unit(360) measures the brightness of the modulated beam. A controller(370) receives an image signal and applies an LUT(Look-Up Table) on the image signal to convert the image signal to the image control signal, which is supplied to the driving circuit. The controller measures a physical variation of the optical modulator from the brightness of the modulated beam from the LUT and updates the LUT. When the variation exceeds a threshold value, the controller provides an updated driving voltage range signal to the driving circuit.
Abstract:
A keystone compensating method and a display device are provided to save calculation resources in a calculation process by performing keystone compensation through a simple calculation, and also save a memory by performing keystone compensation only with a buffer which stores 4-pixel information. An image controller receives an image signal(S910). The image controller sequentially stores pixel data in a buffer memory for keystone correction(S920). Coordinates of a correction pixel and correction pixel data are calculated using three consecutive pixel data among pixel data stored in four pixel buffers of a buffer memory(S930). Keystone correction is completed on all the pixels of a particular row by repeatedly performing the immediately previous process(S940). A corrected image signal with a corrected keystone is obtained with respect to the entire two-dimensional image by repeatedly performing the immediately previous process(S950).
