An optical head-mounted display includes an eyeglass frame, a holographic optical element supported by the eyeglass frame to be confronted by an eye of a wearer, and a projector mounted on the eyeglass frame to project image information on the holographic optical element. The projector includes a LED light source, a beam-splitting polarizer, a spatial light modulator, a lens set and a mechanical one-dimensional scanner. The mechanical one-dimensional scanner reflects the transformed light beam from the lens set onto the holographic optical element in one dimension at a time. When the reflective sheet is rotated at a range of angle in a brief moment of time, the holographic optical element receives from the rotating reflective sheet an array of one-dimensional modulated light beams and reflects the latter to form a two-dimensional image in the eye because of persistence of vision.

The control assembly processor also reads a trigger position sensor and adds a trigger delay to generate a virtual trigger command, which provides for flexible display positioning and scrolling display effects.

The present invention discloses a pixel circuit, a driving method thereof, a display panel and a display device. According to the present invention, before a light-emitting device emits light, an initialization module provides the signals at a reference signal end to the grid and the second pole of a driving transistor separately, provides a signal at a first voltage end to the first pole of the driving transistor, and is utilized to reset the grid and the first pole of the driving transistor separately, so that the difference caused by the parasitic capacitances of the grid and the first pole is avoided, and further the problem that due to the voltage jump, the threshold values are captured inconsistently, is avoided, and accordingly, the consistent brightness of a first frame after the high and low gray-scale switching can be guaranteed. Moreover, the second pole of the driving transistor is reset at the initialization stage of each frame, so that a large current flows through the driving transistor, and the threshold-voltage excursion of the driving transistor caused by the bias stress is forced to recover, and accordingly, a persistence of vision phenomenon is avoided.

When any observer receives an image of a scene having the same relative size, shape and location on the retina of each of his two eyes at any instant and the image of the scene has some component of horizontal motion in any direction, the image viewed is three dimensional. If the motion occurs, all scene-object points are spatially located in playback since all of the original ray angles between camera and scene points are reproduced for both eyes by the ray cross-overs at the scene image points. When successive frames are presented, the brain cognizes the motion in linking the frames by persistence of vision. For the brain to perceive an item as moving it must connect these frames, but because of intersecting rays coming from any spatial location in successive frames, the brain cannot connect the frames without also locating the points in space.

Completely automated tests that exploit capabilities of human vision to tell humans apart from automated entities are disclosed herein. Persistence of vision and simultaneous contrasts are some of the properties of human vision that can be used in these tests. A video of an image is generated in colors that are distinguishable to the human eye but are not easily distinguished numerically. The image includes text manipulated such that positive image data and negative whitespace data occur at equal rates along with a noise component included in each of the video frames. Thus, raw data is made ambiguous while qualities of human visual interpretation are relied upon for extracting relevant meaning from the video.

Neural responses to a repeated stimulus typically diminish, an effect known as repetition suppression. When a single visual stimulus (e.g., letter of the alphabet, word, object, face) is serially flashed in different locations of a display, several stimuli appear to be present simultaneously due to an effect known as persistence of vision. Normal human observers' estimates of how many stimuli they perceived at any instant of time are significantly lower when the same stimulus is flashed repeatedly than when a different stimulus is used for each flash. This is a result of the brain's diminishing response (repetition suppression) to the repeated stimuli. The present invention generally relates to methods for assessing the normality of neural performance, particularly as relates to the integrity of cortical inhibition, visual persistence, proliferation effect, and repetition suppression. Deficits in repetition suppression serve as early and confirmatory measures of cognitive disorders such as schizophrenia.
