Semi-Transmissive Display Surface for Resolution and Contrast

The surface layer is designed with non-uniform transparency, where certain regions are more transparent than others. This local variation in transparency allows light to pass through more effectively in specific areas without requiring an increased number of transmissive parts, thus improving image resolution while maintaining device complexity at acceptable levels.

The transparency parameter of the surface layer is varied spatially to create regions with different light transmission properties. By changing the transparency parameter locally rather than uniformly, the system achieves improved image resolution without proportionally increasing the number of transmissive parts required.

The surface layer incorporates regions with different transparency characteristics that correspond to different veneer patterns. In areas with higher transparency, light from inorganic light emitters passes through more effectively, improving visibility. In areas with lower transparency, the veneer pattern is better preserved, maintaining contrast. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between visibility and contrast.

The surface layer acts as an intermediary between the inorganic light emitters and the veneer pattern. By strategically designing the transparency distribution in this intermediate layer, the system allows light to pass through where needed for visibility while blocking light where it is needed to maintain contrast with the veneer pattern.
