Abstract
Super-resolution displays, and methods of operating the same are disclosed herein. An example disclosed method includes emitting light from a pixel at a first location in a display assembly, and emitting light from the pixel at a second different location in the display assembly.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- generating a first lower resolution image and a second lower resolution image from a higher resolution image, the first lower resolution image and the second lower resolution image each having a resolution corresponding with a resolution of a light-emitting portion of a display assembly in a head-mounted display, the higher resolution image having a higher resolution than the light-emitting portion;
- emitting light based on the first lower resolution image from a pixel of the light-emitting portion at a first location in the display assembly in the head-mounted display;
- physically translating the light-emitting portion to position the pixel at a second different location in the display assembly in the head-mounted display, the second different location being previously occupied by another pixel of the light-emitting portion;
- and
- emitting light based on the second lower resolution image from the pixel of the light-emitting portion at the second different location in the display assembly in the head-mounted display.

A display assembly comprising:
- a light-emitting portion configured to emit light from a pixel at a first time and at a first location in the display assembly based on a first lower resolution image generated from a higher resolution image, the first lower resolution image having a resolution corresponding with a resolution of the light-emitting portion, the higher resolution image having a higher resolution than the light-emitting portion;
- a movement to physically translate the light-emitting portion of the display assembly to emit light from the pixel at a second time and at a second different location in the display assembly based on a second lower resolution image generated from the higher resolution image, the second lower resolution image having a resolution corresponding with the resolution of the light-emitting portion;
- and
- a second movement to physically translate the light-emitting portion of the display assembly to emit light from the pixel at a third time and at a third different location in the display assembly based on a third lower resolution image generated from the higher resolution image.
1 more element
A display assembly for use in a display, the display assembly comprising:
- a light-emitting portion configured to emit light at a first time from a pixel at a first location in the display based on a first lower resolution image generated from a higher resolution image, the first lower resolution image having a resolution corresponding with a resolution of the light-emitting portion, the higher resolution image having a higher resolution than the light-emitting portion;
- and
- a layer configurable to:
- direct light emitted from the pixel at a second time at a second different location in the display based on a second lower resolution image generated from the higher resolution image, the second lower resolution image having a resolution corresponding with the resolution of the light-emitting portion and the layer including a liquid crystal material having a refractive index controllable to selectively emit light at the second location rather than at the first locations and
- direct light emitted from the pixel at a third time at a third different location in the display based on a third lower resolution image generated from the higher resolution image.
