& CTO, ClairVoyante Laboratories,
Inc.
Recent advances in color subpixel rendering theory have enabled the economical manufacture of very high resolution flat panels for full color natural image display. The theory has been extended to projectors using displaced color imaging light modulators, enabling higher resolution image reconstruction with no increase in modulator pixel elements. Displacing the projected pixel locations for each color allows additional degrees of freedom with which to reconstruct the image. The resulting increase in 'addressable points' allows high spatial frequencies at and just below the traditional Nyquist Limit to be reconstructed over the full positional phase space, without aliasing or phase error, increasing observable image quality. The Modulation Transfer Function Limit is extended, adding image detail. Examples of color subpixel rendering algorithms for both flat panel & projector displays, and resulting performance improvement are examined. Implications for Electronic Digital Cinema and HDTV are explored.
Ms. CANDICE H. BROWN ELLIOTT founded ClairVoyante Laboratories in July 2000 to develop and license display architecture and subpixel rendering technology that she independently invented. She served as CEO until October, 2001. Ms. Elliott is a twenty-five year veteran of the display and semiconductor industries. A quick glance at her resume includes R&D, manufacturing, and engineering leadership at noted firms, such as Fairchild, Advanced Micro Devices, Planar Systems, and The MicroDisplay Corporation, as well as smaller start-ups. Ms. Elliott has extensive experience in technology transfer, having served as liaison between Advanced Micro Devices and Microelectronics and Computer Corporation (MCC), an industry research consortium laboratory, in the mid-1980s. She reprised that role, serving as a research coordinator between Planar Systems and MCC in the early 1990s. She was an Advisory Editor with Solid State Technology Journal. Ms. Elliott has been granted thirteen patents, with several pending, in the fields of electronics and displays. She holds a dual B.S. in Physics and Psychology, with a very strong minor in biology, from Excelsior College, University of the State of New York. She has taken graduate courses in Applied Physics from Stanford University and Oregon Graduate Institute. She has worked at CMX Systems, who made video editing equipment, Conrac Video Monitors, and even worked at MCA DiscoVision mastering the very first laser discs using R&D equipment.
