VIDEO PROJECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING A VIDEO IMAGE COMPOSED OF PIXELS OF A DEFINED SIZE

摘要

The invention concerns a video projection apparatus for displaying on a screen (7) a video image composed of pixels of a defined size, with at least one light source (1) for transmitting a light beam (2) having a predetermined beam profile in order to illuminate each pixel on the screen for a predetermined time interval. According to the invention, the beam profile of the light beam (2) is extended further than the defined size of the particular pixel to be illuminated, and the time interval is so short that the size can be perceived in the eye of an observer watching the video image such that it corresponds to the defined size of the pixel. A method in which a video image is composed from pixels on a screen (7) by directing onto the screen (7) a light beam (2) having a predetermined beam profile for illuminating each pixel of a defined size for a predetermined time interval is characterized in that a light beam (2) is used which has a beam profile which is extended further than the defined size of the particular pixel to be illuminated, and each pixel is illuminated for such a short time interval that the size is perceived in the eye of an observer watching the video image such that it corresponds to the defined size of this pixel.
