Modular display system

A display system comprising:

• a screen for displaying a source image;
• a plurality of image generators each generating a portion of said source image on said screen, wherein portions of said source image generated by adjacent image generators overlap in regions at their respective peripheries but need not, absent weighting, correspond in position and intensity to said source image;
• and
• an image processor providing image data to said image generators wherein image data for pixels of the portions of said source image at least in the overlap regions are weighted relative to position and intensity to combine to display said source image.

A modular display system comprising:

• a screen on which a unitary image is to be displayed;
• and
• a plurality of image generating modules positioned adjacent each other and on a side of said screen opposite that on which the unitary image is to be viewed, wherein each said image generating module comprises:
• at least one image generator responsive to image data for generating a predetermined portion of the unitary image on said screen, wherein pixels thereof along each edge of the predetermined portion include pixels that are also along adjacent edges of adjacent predetermined portions of the unitary image that are generated by respective adjacent image generator modules, whereby adjacent predetermined portions of the unity image overlap in an overlap region near their adjacent edges;
• an image processor for generating the image data representative of said predetermined portion of said unitary image responsive to predetermined portions of unitary image data and to sensor data;
• and
• a sensor located proximate said screen for generating sensor data representative of at least pixels of the predetermined portion of the unitary image on said screen in the regions of overlap of adjacent predetermined portions of the unitary image.

A method of forming a pixelated image comprising:

• forming two contiguous pixelated sub-images having a region of overlap at their common edge;
• determining the value of particular pixels of the pixelated sub-images at least in said region of overlap;
• determining a correction function for changing the determined value of the particular pixels of the pixelated sub-images in at least said overlap region to a given value representative of pixels of the pixelated image in corresponding positions of the pixelated image;
• and
• applying said correction function to respective pixel values of each of said pixelated sub-images for each of said particular pixels at least in said overlap region.
