摘要： A faceted surface has first and second facets which deflect respective first and second light beams to produce first sub-beams which alternate with second sub-beams. The faceted surface may be a reflector having first facets at 120° to second facets for mixing light beams which are incident at 120° to each other. 100% of reflected sub-beams from each source alternate with 100% of sub-beams from the other source. The faceted surface may also be a refractor which is part of a transparent block having two parallel faceted surfaces. A first refractive surface refracts parallel light beams to produce diverging beams which are each split into spaced apart sub-beams by the second refractive surface. 50% of refracted sub-beams originating from each source alternate with 50% of refracted sub-beams of each adjacent source.

摘要： Ordinarily, television signals are subjected to gamma correction at the source to compensate for non-linearities in CRT-based displays in accordance with set standards. However, it has been found in practice that all CRT-based displays do not exhibit the same amount of non-linearity. Hence, some television receivers include gamma correction circuitry which compensate for the difference between the particular CRT display and that assumed by the transmission system standard. In addition the above, circuitry is added for adapting this correction to local areas on the display thereby achieving dynamic range equalization. The input video signal is first low-pass filtered and then subjected to a normalization between 0.0 and a first predefined maximum value A. A second predefined value B is then added to this normalized signal generating a gamma exponential. At the same time, the input video signal is normalized for the range 0.0 and 1.0. This normalized input signal is then raised to an exponential power equivalent to the gamma exponential. Finally, this resultant signal is re-scaled back to the dynamic range of the input video signal. The resultant video signal on display then has the dark portions thereof more visible without the bright parts looking washed out.
