In computer graphics, pixelation (or pixellation in British English) is caused by displaying a bitmap or a section of a bitmap at such a large size that individual pixels, small single-colored square display elements that comprise the bitmap, are visible. Such an image is said to be pixelated (pixellated in the UK).

Light from an object moving through an imaging system is collected, dispersed, and imaged onto a time delay integration (TDI) detector that is inclined relative to an axis of motion of the object, producing a pixilated output signal. In one embodiment, the movement of the image object over the TDI detector is asynchronous with the movement of the output signal producing an output signal that is a composite of the image of the object at varying focal point along the focal plane. In another embodiment, light from the object is periodically incident on the inclined TDI detector, producing a plurality of spaced apart images and corresponding output signals that propagate across the TDI detector. The inclined plane enables images of FISH probes or other components within an object to be produced at different focal points, so that the 3D spatial relationship between the FISH probes or components can be resolved.

An LCD panel employing a novel scheme of systemic light recycling. A single polarization state of light is transmitted from the backlighting structure to section of the LCD panel where both spatial intensity and spectral filtering of the transmitted polarized light simultaneously occurs on a subpixel basis. At each subpixel location, spectral bands of light not transmitted to the display surface during spectral filtering, are reflected without absorption back along the projection axis into the backlighting structure. At a subcomponent level within the LCD panel, spectral components of transmitted polarized light not used at any particular subpixel structure location are effectively reflected either directly or indirectly back into the backlighting structure.

An illumination panel for illuminating an object, comprising a substrate, a light diffractive grating and a light source. The substrate is made from an optically transparent material having first and second area surfaces disposed substantially parallel to each other and a light input surface for conducting a light beam into the substrate. The light diffractive grating is mounted to the first areal surface and has a slanted fringe structure embodied therein for diffracting the light beam falling incident thereto, along a first diffractive order of the slanted fringe structure. The light source produces a light beam for transmission through the input surface and direct passage through the substrate to the slanted fringe structure so as to produce an output light beam of areal extent that emerges from either the first or second areal surface along the first diffractive order, for use in illuminating an object. A spatial-intensity modulation panel can be mounted to the illumination panel to form a color image display device. In the illustrative embodiments, the light diffractive grating is a volume hologram that is pixelated and spectrally-tuned in order to carry out spectral filtering functions within the color image display device.
