Abstract

Abstract A device for weakening the incident light passing through a transparent emissive display system so as not to drown the emitted light is disclosed which utilizes two polarizing filters one at least of which is placed before the screen so as to selectively attenuate the incident light. A photoelectric cell measures this incident light and controls a motor which rotates one of the filters so as to adjust the attenuation to the initial intensity.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 150 words
A display system of the type comprising a transparent emissive display screen allowing light information to be displayed and placed in an optical path intended to transport the image of an external scene, further comprising at least a first polarizing filter placed in the same optical path between said external scene and said screen, at least a second polarizing filter placed in the optical path and means for variably crossing the polarizing filters with respect to each other so as to adjust the luminosity of the image of the external scene seen through said first and second polarizing filters without obscuring the information displayed on the screen wherein the means for crossing the filters comprise a photoelectric cell disposed outside the optical path of said first and second polarizing filters for measuring the luminosity of the external scene and for controlling a motor for rotating one of the polarizing filters.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 150 words
A display system of the type comprising a transparent emissive display screen allowing light information to be displayed and placed in an optical path intended to transport the image of an external scene, further comprising at least a first polarizing filter placed in the same optical path between said external scene and said screen, at least a second polarizing filter placed in the optical path and means for variably crossing the polarizing filters with respect to each other so as to adjust the luminosity of the image of the external scene seen through said first and second polarizing filters without obscuring the information displayed on the screen wherein the means for crossing the filters comprise a photoelectric cell disposed outside the optical path of said first and second polarizing filters for measuring the luminosity of the external scene and for controlling a motor for rotating one of the polarizing filters.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
A display system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a spectacle mount for supporting said second polarizing filter.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
A display system as claimed in claim 2 comprising means for orienting said second polarizing filter on said spectacle mount.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
A display system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transparent emissive display screen is placed between said first and second polarizing filter.
