Superresolution display using cascaded panels

A method of displaying images comprising:

• accessing first frames representing one frame of an image in a first spatial resolution;
• accessing second frames representing said one frame of said image in a second spatial resolution;
• sequentially rendering said first frames for display on a first display layer of a display device;
• sequentially rendering said second frames for display on a second display layer of said display device,
• wherein said first display layer overlays said second display layer with a lateral shift in two directions by a fraction of a pixel of said first display layer, and
• wherein further said sequentially renderings result in an effective display resolution of said one frame of said image on said display device, wherein said effective display resolution is greater than said first spatial resolution and said second spatial resolution.

A display system comprising:

• a plurality of display layers disposed in a cascaded manner and comprising a first display layer and a second display layer, wherein said first display layer offsets by a fraction of a pixel with reference to said second display layer in two orthogonal lateral directions;
• a processor coupled to said plurality of display layers;
• memory coupled to said processor and comprising instructions that, when executed by said processor, implement a method of displaying a representation of an image, said method comprising:
• accessing first image data representing said image and second image data representing said image;
• rendering said first image data for display on said first display layer at a first spatial resolution;
• and
• rendering said second image data for display on said second display layer at a second spatial resolution,
• wherein further an effective display resolution of said representation of said image is greater than said first native spatial resolution and said second native spatial resolution.
