Multiview projector system

摘要

A projector system includes an imaging device operable to direct light to a reflective screen, and an active light steering element placed in the light path between the imaging device and the screen. The steering element is operable to sequentially scan the light across the screen. The steering element may be used to temporally multiplex images at different viewpoints. The steering element enables trade-offs to be made between spatial, temporal, color and/or viewpoint resolutions of the images displayed by the imaging device.

1. A projector system comprising:
a reflective screen; an imaging device operable to direct light from a light source toward the screen so that the light is reflected by the screen to a viewing area; a light steering element positioned in a light path between the imaging device and the screen, the steering element operable to steerably direct the light from the light source to selected locations on the screen; and a resolution management system operable to control the light steering element so as to adjust at least one of spatial, temporal, color and viewpoint resolutions of images displayed by the imaging device, wherein the imaging device is operable to display images for multiple viewpoints, and for each image the steering element is operable to scan the light to locations on the screen such that the light is reflected by the screen to a corresponding viewpoint location.
