Method and system for computer-based image and display

Abstract

In one embodiment, an electronic device having a phase-modulating display module and an amplitude-modulating display module may determine a pattern comprising a number of zones. The pattern may correspond to display areas that contain imagery content to be displayed. Each zone may correspond to a number of pixels of the amplitude-modulating display module. The device may steer, by the phase-modulating display module, incident light beams from a first light source to the display areas of the amplitude-modulating display module according to the pattern. The device may modulate, by the amplitude-modulating display module, a light intensity amplitude of a light beam at a pixel location according to a target grayscale value for a display pixel at that pixel location. The device may cause the light beam having the modulated light intensity amplitude to reach a viewer's eye.
