Systems and methods utilizing rotatable optics for projecting light to a viewer

A method for projecting light to a viewer, the method comprising:

• illuminating each of a plurality of subpixels of a display device, wherein light from each illuminated subpixel of the plurality of subpixels is laterally shifted by at least one light deviator disposed optically downstream of the plurality of subpixels;
• mechanically rotating the at least one light deviator by application of a force to an outer circumferential region of the at least one light deviator;
• and
• synchronizing the rotation of the at least one light deviator with the illumination of at least one subpixel of the plurality of subpixels by a controller.

A display device for projecting light to a viewer comprising:

• a plurality of subpixels, each of the plurality of subpixels operable to emit light;
• at least one light deviator disposed optically downstream from the plurality of subpixels, wherein:
• light emitted from each of the plurality of subpixels is transmitted through and laterally shifted by the least one light deviator towards a viewer;
• and
• the at least one light deviator has two surfaces, at least one of the two surfaces being
• optically coated to at least one of reduce ghost reflections, polarize the light emitted from each of the plurality of subpixels, or to analyze the light emitted from each of the plurality of subpixels;
• and
• a controller that controls illumination of at least a subset of the plurality of subpixels in synchronization with rotation of the at least one light deviator.
