`Expert Declaration of Matthew S. Brennesholtz
`
`INTRODUCTION
`My name is Matthew S. Brennesholtz. I have been asked by Petitioner to
`
`provide my expert opinions in support of the above-captioned petition for inter partes
`
`review of Patent No. 7,857,455 ("the '455 patent"), challenging the validity of claims
`
`1-23 of the '455 patent.
`
`BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS
`
`I was awarded a Master of Engineering degree in Optics and Plasma
`
`Physics from Cornell University in 1978, and a Bachelor of Science degree in
`
`Engineering Physics, also from Cornell University, in 1969.
`
`The primary focus throughout my career has been display systems and
`
`the optical components for use in those systems.
`
`I am an inventor and co-inventor on 23 issued U.S. patents related to
`
`display systems and components. I am also the author of Projection Displays 2nd Ed.
`
`with Ed Stupp, John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2008, 432pp.
`
`Presently, I am an independent consultant with a specialty in optics and
`
`display systems. I have been in the display system industry for 36 years and have been
`
`an independent consultant for 3 years. My professional industry experience includes
`
`11 years at Philips Display Components Company where I was responsible for the
`
`optical aspects of cathode ray tubes for consumer data and projection applications.
`
`During my tenure at General Electric/ Projection Display Products Operation, my
`
`principal responsibility was to maximize the amount of light delivered to the

`
`DOCUMENTS A_ND OTHER MATERIALS RELIED UPON
`In forming the opinions set forth in this declaration, I have reviewed the
`
`'455 patent, its prosecution history, the prosecution histories of its patent family, and
`
`the prior art references described below. Additionally, I have considered my own
`
`experience and expertise of the knowledge of the person of ordinary skill in the
`
`relevant art in the timeframe of the claimed priority date of the '455 patent. In doing
`
`so, I have reviewed information generally available to, and relied upon, by a person of
`
`ordinary skill at the time of the invention. I was told to assume the time of the
`
`invention is the date of the filing of the original application on October 18, 2006.
`
`I anticipate using some of the below referenced documents and
`
`information, or other information and material that may be made available during the
`
`course of this proceeding (such as by deposition testimony), as well as representative

`
`PERSON OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART FOR THE '455 PATENT
`
`A person of ordinary skill in the art in the field of the '455 patent would
`
`be someone with a good working knowledge of optics and display systems in general,
`
`and stereoscopic (stereographic)1 projection systems in particular. The person would
`
`have gained this knowledge through an undergraduate or graduate education in
`
`physics, optics, or a comparable field, in combination with further training and several
`
`years of practical working experience.
`
`TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND
`
`One method used to display images, e.g., motion pictures, with a
`
`stereoscopic three-dimensional ("3D") effect utilizes the projection of two images
`
`which are superimposed onto a screen. The two images are of the same scene, but are
`
`depicted from slightly different perspectives, e.g., the left and right lenses of a
`
`stereoscopic camera. The left and right stereoscopic images have a visible light
`
`For purposes of this Declaration, and the documents referred to in this Declaration,
`
`the terms "stereoscopic" and "stereographic" have the same meaning and are used
`
`interchangeably.

`
`characteristic such that when they are viewed through special eyeglasses, each of the
`
`viewer's eyes sees only one of the images, providing the 3D effect.
`
`Visible light characterisdc used to achieve a 3D effect includes color and
`
`polarization. Polarization is a property of an electromagnetic wave, such as light, used
`
`to describe the direction in which the wave's electric field is oscillating. The distance
`
`a wave travels in one cycle of oscillation is called its wavelength. The color of light is
`
`a function of wavelength. When viewed as a sinusoidal, single wavelength plane wave
`
`travelling in one direcd.on, light may be characterized as being unpolarized (or
`
`randomly polarized) or its state of polarization ("SOP") may be linear, circular or
`
`ellipdcal.
`
`For light impinging on a dlted surface, the "plane of incidence" is
`
`defined as the plane that contains both the direction of propagation of the light and
`
`the normal to the dlted surface. For linearly polarized light, the direction of the plane
`
`in which the electric field oscillates, relative to the plane of incidence of the light, is
`
`used to describe the light as being p-polarized (parallel to the plane of incidence), s-
`
`polarized (perpendicular to the plane of incidence) or at some angle reladve to one of
`
`the planes. Light which is p-polarized is orthogonal to s-polarized light. For
`
`circularly polarized light, the rotation of the electric field vector may be right-handed
`
`or left-handed, which are also considered orthogonal to each other.

`Expert Declaration of Matthew S. Brennesholtz
`
`Various optical devices can be used to alter light's state of polarization.
`
`A linear polarizer is a device that transmits only one polarization, such as a p-polarizer
`
`which by its design and orientation passes only linearly p-polarized light. An eyeglass
`
`lens used to view polarized stereographic images is a polarizer and is sometimes called
`
`an analyzer because it analyzes all of the light in its view and blocks out all but one
`
`SOP. If the light incident upon a polarizer is predominately of the same orientation
`
`as the polarizer, the polarizer is sometimes called a clean-up polarizer.
`
`A polarized beam splitter ("PBS") is used to separate unpolarized light
`
`into independent paths of p-polarized and s-polarized light. Some PBSs pass p-
`
`polarized light through the device and reflect the s-polarized light upward (or
`
`downward). After the PBS, the two different polarizations of light may be traveling
`
`perpendicularly to each other or may be at some other angle. Commonly the
`
`designations "P" and "S" are used for primary and secondary beams. In many
`
`polarizing beamsplitters, p-polarized light is transmitted and becomes the primary (P)
`
`beam and s-polarized light is reflected and becomes the secondary (S) beam.
`
`A wave plate or retarder afters the polarization state of light passing
`
`through it. A half-wave retarder with the correct orientation is used to rotate the
`
`polarization direction of linearly polarized light by 900; thus p-polarized light entering
`
`a half-wave retarder exits as s-polarized light. A quarter wave retarder with the
`
`correct orientation is used to convert linearly polarized light to circularly polarized

`
`light. Retarders are often called by short-hand names, such as half-wave or quarter-
`
`wave, without expressly specifying the orientation of their axes or of the input light.
`
`Half-wave and quarter-wave refer to a retarder whose value is 1/2 or 1/4 the wavelength
`
`of the incident light.
`
`Half-wave and quarter-wave retarders are examples of static devices in
`
`that the polarization conversion which they perforrn does not change over time. On
`
`the other hand, a polarization modulator provides different output states of
`
`polarization over time based on control signal(s) applied to the modulator. For
`
`example, a polarization modulator could alternately output p/s/p/s-polarized light in
`
`synchronization with a control signal ±V,/0/±V/0. Alternatively, two LC cells could
`
`be used, with ±V applied alternately with OV to each of the two cells out of phase.
`
`Some stereoscopic systems display the left-perspective and right-
`
`perspective images simultaneously, while others display the left and right images
`
`sequentially, e.g., L/R/L/R. Simultaneous display of left and right images is most
`
`easily accomplished using two display devices, e.g., projectors. Sequential display of
`
`left and right images allows use of a single display system which employs a
`
`polarization modulator providing alternating output states of polarization in
`
`synchronism with the switching rate between the left and right images.
`
`PRIOR ART ZSCREEN
`
`A ZScreen is an example of a polarization modulator, in which so-called
`
`pi-cells are utilized. For the pi-cells of a ZScreen to properly perform their

`
`modulation function, the light applied to them is required to be linearly polarized.
`
`'455 patent, 3:63-64. That is why a linear absorptive polarizer precedes the pi-cells.
`
`By aligning the linear polarization direction of both the first and second paths of the
`
`image light with the mds of the linear polarizer in a ZScreen, the '455 patent
`
`projection system avoids the 50% loss in image brightness which occurs in prior art
`
`systems as a result of randomly polarized light being applied to the ZScreen input

`
`CLAIM TERMS
`
`20.
`
`In my review of the '455 patent, its prosecution history, its patent family,
`
`and from my knowledge of the field, in my opinion one of ordinary skill in the art
`
`would understand:
`
`"image light energy" to mean "light bearing an image such that when the
`
`light reaches a screen the image is viewable." See e.g., Ex. 1001 ('455
`
`patent), 9:43-64.
`
`"polarizing splitting element" to mean "a device that creates primary
`
`path and secondary path beams of light energy by directing light of one
`
`polarization state along a first path and light of another polarization state
`
`along a second path." See e.g., Ex. 1001 ('455 patent), 5:16-26.
`
`"polarization modulator" to mean "a device that receives light energy
`
`and outputs the light energy in at least two alternating states of
`
`polarization, wherein the alternating states, include, but are not limited

`
`to, p-polarized and s-polarized linearly polarized light, and left- and
`
`right-handed circularly polarized light. See e.g., Ex. 1001 ('455 patent),
`
`7:3-8.
`
`"uniformly modulate" to mean "any transformation in polarization state
`
`resulting from polarization modulation is applied equally to all portions
`
`of the incoming light." See Ex. 1002 ('455 prosecution history) at 131-
`
`133.
`
`"retarder" to mean "an optical device which changes the polarization
`
`characteristics of a beam of polarized light without absorbing any of the
`
`light passing through it." See e.g., Ex. 1001 ('455 patent), 5:27-56.
`
`"static polarizer element" to mean "a single-state optical device which
`
`changes the polarization characteristics of a beam of polarized light." See
`
`e.g., Ex. 1001 ('455 patent), 5:57-60.
`
`g)
`
`"cleanup polarizer" to mean "an optical device which removes undesired
`
`polarization characteristics from a beam of polarized light having a
`
`known state of polarization." See e.g., Ex. 1001 ('455 patent), 5:57-6:7.
`
`SCHUCK IN VIEW OF ADMITTED PRIOR ART
`
`21.
`
`Switching of images between left and right perspectives is used in the
`
`formatting of many 3D motion pictures and image recovery based on polarization
`
`modulators. Some applications (e.g., a large auditorium) requite increased brightness
`
`which is most easily provided by a two projector system. Based on the teachings of

`Expert Declaration of Matthew S. Brennesholtz
`
`Schuck and prior art FIGs. 1A and 2 of the '455 patent, one of ordinary skill would
`
`have known to further increase brightness by use of a two projector system in which
`
`each projector is used with a polarizing splitting element 122, a mirror 116 and a half-
`
`wave plate 114, as described in FIG. 2 of Schuck.
`
`KIM, WO 2006/038744
`
`22.
`
`From the description of the electro-optical shutter provided by Kim in
`
`Paragraph [80], one of ordinary skill in the art would have understood that the electro-
`
`optical shutter has a liquid crystal (LC) layer sandwiched between conductive,
`
`transparent ITO layers. Such a configuration is used so that the electro-magnetic field
`
`(which is controlled by the image synchronization signal) can be selectively applied to
`
`the LC so as to change the polarization characteristics of the LC layer. There are
`
`several possible configurations of a LC-based electro-optical shutter and Kim does
`
`not specify which version he used. The following description applies to one particular
`
`version but other versions are possible.
`
`In response to one state of the
`
`synchronization control signal, the LC layer does not change the polarization of
`
`incoming light, but in response to the other state of the synchronization control
`
`signal, the LC layer acts as a half-wave plate. A linear polarizer is disposed on the
`
`output side of the shutter, and a second linear polarizer may be disposed on the input
`
`side (the incoming light side) to perform as a clean-up polarizer if the incoming light
`
`is insufficiently polarized.

`Expert Declaration of Matthew S. Brennesholtz
`
`As an example of operation, the shutter 155L in Kim FIG. 12 receives s-
`
`polarized image light. The shutter's linear polarizers are s-polarizers. When 0 volts is
`
`applied to the ITO layers by the synchronization control sig-nal, the s-polarized light
`
`passes through the clean-up s-polarizer, the LC layer and the output side s-polarizer
`
`When ±V volts is applied to the ITO layers, the s-polarized light which passes
`
`through the input clean-up s-polarizer is rotated by the LC material, acting as a half-
`
`wave retarder (rotator), so that the s-polarizer light becomes p-polarized light, which
`
`is then absorbed by the output side s-polarizer. In the latter case, the shutter is
`
`closed, i.e., blocking transmission of the s-polarized light, but in the former case, the
`
`shutter is open, i.e., allowing transmission of the s-polarized light to the optical lens
`
`group 152L.
`
`Individually, the electro-optical shutter 152L alternately outputs s-
`
`polarized light/no light/s-polarized light, and the electro-optical shutter 152R
`
`alternately outputs no light/p-polarized light/no light. Each of the shutters uniformly
`
`amplitude modulates the polarized light applied to it. Together, the electro-optical
`
`shutters 152L, 152R function a polarization modulator which uniformly modulates
`
`the incoming polarized light so as to alternately output s/p/s
`
`polarized light in
`
`accordance with the image synchronization control signal which is applied to both
`
`shutters 152L, 152R. As a unit, the shutters 152L, 152R act as a push-pull modulator.
`
`One of ordinary skill in the art would have known that instead of fabricating the

`
`electro-optical shutters as separate portions, each containing the LC material, ITO
`
`layers and a linear polarizer(s), the shutters may be fabricated as a single unit.
`
`In FIG. 12, the polarizing beam splitter 156, the mirrors and the shutters
`
`157L, 157R are placed in between the common optical lens group 151 and the front
`
`optical lens group 152L, 152R. Kim, 11 [72]; FIG. 12; See also if [71]; FIG. 11. Based
`
`on Kim's disclosure, one of ordinary skill in the art would have found it obvious to
`
`place the polarizing beam splitter 156, the mirrors and the shutters in front of the
`
`optical lens group 152 of FIG. 11. That is, one of ordinary skill would have found it
`
`obvious to transmit the image light generated by the DMD light modulator 123
`
`through the entire projection lens toward the polarized beam splitter 156, rather than
`
`placing the beam splitter, mirrors and shutters in between the two sets of lens (151,
`
`152) which together comprise the projection lens 147 system of FIG. 11. Motivations
`
`for doing so include i) cost reduction resulting from use of only a single lens group
`
`152;
`
`simplification in design by allowing lens groups 151 and 152 to be spaced
`
`closer together; and
`
`improvement in stereoscopic contrast by avoiding potential
`
`depolarization of the polarized light by lens group 152.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the law of the United States that

`all statements made herein of my own knowledge are true and that all statements

`Consultant, Pleasantville, NY
`Currently I am acting as an independent consultant. My main current clients are Insight Media and
`Meko, for whom I continue to visit tradeshows, write newsletter articles, write research, marketing
`and technology reports and consult for 3rd party clients of Insight Media. Meko acquired Insight
`Media's newsletter business in 2014. There are no contractual restrictions preventing me from
`consulting directly with additional clients.
`2005-2011
`Insight Media, Norwalk CT
`www.insightmedia.info
`At Insight Media I worked on a variety of topics related to display systems. These included supply
`chain issues and relationships, emerging display technologies, emerging technologies for display
`systems and components and new applications for microdisplay technology. Stereoscopic 3D, lasers
`I contributed articles to the Insight Media
`and LEDs were three topics of intense interest.
`newsletters, wrote reports for distribution to multiple customers and did custom consulting on these
`topics.
`For exatnple, I was the lead author on a series of reports on both LEDs and lasers and the projection
`systems that use LEDs and lasers. The systems reports have covered the technology of LEDs and
`lasers, technology of projectors using LEDs and lasers, human factors of these projectors and
`forecasts for future sales of these systems. The most recent member of this series of reports covers
`LED and Laser-based stand-alone picoprojectors, with sales forecasts going forward to 2016.
`I have done consulting for Insight Media clients. This consulting has included both technology
`consulting and market viability evaluation. Other consulting projects have involved the evaluation
`of the viability of new technology startups. In some cases, I have worked with a Venture Capitalist
`(VC) to evaluate technology proposals and in others I have worked with the start-up company to
`develop the presentation before going to the VC.
