Described are various embodiments of a digital display device for use by a user having reduced visual acuity. In one embodiment, the device comprises: a digital display medium comprising an array of pixels and operable to render a pixelated image accordingly; a light field shaping layer defined by an array of light field shaping elements and disposed relative to said digital display so to align each of said light field shaping elements with a corresponding set of said pixels to shape a light field emanating therefrom and thereby at least partially govern a projection thereof from said display medium toward the user; and a hardware processor operable on pixel data for the image such that said processed image is rendered to at least partially compensate for the user’s reduced visual acuity.
A digital display device to render an input image for viewing by a viewer having reduced visual acuity, the device comprising:
A microlens array for use with a digital display medium comprising an array of pixels and operable to render a pixelated image accordingly to be viewed by a viewer having a reduced visual acuity, wherein a microlens array is dimensioned to be disposed relative to the digital display medium and comprises an array of microlenses, each one of which being disposed, when overlaid onto the digital display medium, to be centered over a corresponding set of the pixels to shape a light field emanating therefrom and thereby at least partially govern a projection thereof from said digital display medium toward the viewer, wherein a dimension of each microlens is selected to minimize a spot size on a retina of the viewer produced by given pixels of said corresponding set of the pixels.
