Super-resolution scanning display for near-eye displays

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• emitting source light from a light source comprising a plurality of columns of emitters that are formed along a first dimension, the plurality of columns including at least a first column of emitters and a second column of emitters, wherein the first column of emitters is offset in the first dimension from the second column of emitters by less than an emitter width and offset in a second dimension that is orthogonal to the first dimension by greater than the emitter width;
• conditioning the source light;
• and
• scanning the conditioned source light along the second dimension to generate a portion of an image with super-resolution in at least the first dimension.

A display comprising:

• a light source configured to emit source light from a plurality of columns of emitters that are formed along a first dimension, the plurality of columns including at least a first column of emitters and a second column of emitters, wherein the first column of emitters is offset in the first dimension from the second column of emitters by less than an emitter width and offset in a second dimension that is orthogonal to the first dimension by greater than the emitter width;
• a conditioning assembly configured to condition the source light;
• and
• a scanning mirror assembly configured to scan the conditioned source light along the second dimension to generate a portion of an image with super-resolution in at least the first dimension.
