Patent ID: 8760600

Claim:
A display comprising: (a) a liquid crystal layer; (b) a backlight that provides light to said liquid crystal layer; (c) said liquid crystal layer selectively modifying the transmission of light from said backlight to the front of said display; (d) said backlight includes a plurality of spaced apart light waveguides; (e) said display includes a plurality of selection elements associated with said light waveguides that change the characteristics of the material of said light waveguides to selectively direct the transmission of light toward said liquid crystal layer; (f) a light steering device that uses a lookup table to reduce crosstalk between portions of said display respectively associated with said light waveguides, and by steering light through the combination of said waveguides and said selection elements to provide light to said front of said display in a non-uniform temporal manner during temporal time periods presenting a single picture across the entire said display for a frame and a non-uniform spatial manner during said frame presenting said picture, where said non-uniform temporal manner and said non-uniform spatial manner are respectively controlled by said light steering device to achieve said reduced crosstalk, and where said lookup table is based on measured crosstalk characteristics of said display.
