DISTRIBUTED APERTURE DISPLAY

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing the visual artifacts (83) exhibited by a display employing individually addressable pixels, The apparatus comprises an array of pixels (40), each pixel (30, 102, 104) having a switchable region (32, 92-94) of alterable transparency or luminance and a non-switchable region (34, 103, 105). The switchable region of each pixel is distributed into at least two simultaneously switched portions at least partly separated by a significant portion of the non-switchable region. The first order spatial harmonics and visual artifacts are significantly reduced. For a color display, each color pixel (102, 104) is similarly subdivided.
