Displays

An apparatus for controlling a display device to generate an image for viewing by a user on a display, the image being formed by at least three light components having predetermined relative timings, the apparatus comprising:

• an input for receiving image data defining an intended position of first, second, and third light components of a feature to be sequentially displayed as an element in the image;
• an input for receiving rate data indicative of a rate of change in orientation of the display relative to a direction of gaze of an eye of the user;
• and
• an image processor arranged to
• determine a displaced position on the display for displaying each of the first and third light components of the feature by adjusting the intended position of the first and third light components according to the received rate data and the predetermined relative timings relative to a timing of the second light component, the displaced position of the first and third light components being different from the intended position of the second light component, and
• output the displaced position of each of the first and third light components to the display device for display of the first and third light components at the respective displaced position, and outputting the intended position of the second light component to the display device for display of the second light component at the intended position.

A computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums having stored thereon computer program code which when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out for controlling a display device to generate an image for viewing by a user on a display, the image being formed by at least three light components having predetermined relative timings, the process comprising:

• receiving image data defining an intended position of first, second, and third light components of a feature to be sequentially displayed as an element in the image;
• receiving rate data indicative of a rate of change in orientation of the display relative to a direction of gaze of an eye of the user;
• determining a displaced position on the display for displaying each of the first and third light components of the feature by adjusting the intended position of the first and third light components according to the received rate data and the predetermined relative timings relative to a timing of the second light component, the displaced position of the first and third light components being different from the intended position of the second light component;
• and
• outputting the displaced position of each of the first and third light components to the display device for display of the first and third light components at the respective displaced position, and outputting the intended position of the second light component to the display device for display of the second light component at the intended position.
