Translating color selector layer for display resolution enhancement

A head-mounted-display apparatus comprising:

• a body;
• a display system housed in the body, the display system comprising:
• a light-emitting layer comprising a plurality of light-emitting regions, wherein at least some of the plurality of light-emitting regions are operable to emit a varying, controlled intensity of light at a respective fixed location;
• a color selector layer disposed over the plurality of light-emitting regions, the color selector layer comprising at least one group of color selectors that each convert light emitted from an overlapping light-emitting region to one color of a group of colors;
• and
• an actuator operable to move the color selector layer between a plurality of positions relative to the light-emitting layer;
• wherein:
• the movement of the color selector layer results in each color selector of the at least one group of color selectors passing each fixed location;
• and
• when the color selector layer is positioned in one of the plurality of positions, emitted light from at least two of the plurality of light-emitting regions is simultaneously converted by at least two of the group of color selectors into at least two different colors of the group of colors.

A method, comprising:

• positioning a first plurality of color selector types of a color selector layer over a plurality of fixed locations of a display device;
• emitting light associated with the first plurality of color selector types at the plurality of fixed locations such that the first plurality of color selector types simultaneously converts the light emitted from the plurality of fixed locations into at least two different colors;
• moving the color selector layer relative to the plurality of fixed locations to position a second plurality of color selector types of the color selector layer over the plurality of fixed locations;
• and
• emitting light associated with the second plurality of color selector types at the plurality of fixed locations.
