Abstract
A method of displaying an image includes receiving image data for the image, buffering the image data for the image, including creating a frame of the image, defining a first sub-frame and at least a second sub-frame for the frame of the image from the image data, the second sub-frame being spatially offset from the first sub-frame, and alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and displaying the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position.

A method of displaying an image, the method comprising:
- receiving image data for the image;
- buffering the image data for the image, including creating a frame of the image;
- defining a first sub-frame and at least a second sub-frame for the frame of the image from the image data, the second sub-frame being spatially offset from the first sub-frame;
- and
- alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and displaying the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position,
- wherein defining the second sub-frame further includes defining a third sub-frame and a fourth sub-frame for the frame of the image from the image data, the fourth sub-frame being spatially offset from the third sub-frame and the third sub-frame and the fourth sub-frame both being spatially offset from the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame, and
- wherein alternating between displaying the first sub-frame and displaying the second sub-frame further includes alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in the first position, displaying the second sub-frame in the second position, displaying the third sub-frame in a third position spatially offset from the first position and the second position, and displaying the fourth sub-frame in a fourth position spatially offset from the first position, the second position, and the third position.
A method of displaying an image, the method comprising:
- receiving image data for the image;
- buffering the image data for the image, including creating a frame of the image;
- defining a first sub-frame and at least a second sub-frame for the frame of the image from the image data, the second sub-frame being spatially offset from the first sub-frame;
- and
- alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and displaying the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position,
- wherein the second sub-frame is offset at least one of a vertical distance and a horizontal distance from the first sub-frame, and wherein alternating between displaying the first sub-frame and displaying the second sub-frame includes shifting display of the second sub-frame the at least one of the vertical distance and the horizontal distance from the first sub-frame.
A method of displaying an image with a display device, the method comprising:
- receiving image data for the image, the image data including individual pixels of the image;
- buffering the image data and creating a frame of the image, the frame of the image including a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows of the pixels of the image;
- separating the frame of the image into a first pixel matrix and at least one second pixel matrix spatially offset from the first pixel matrix;
- and
- displaying the first pixel matrix and the second pixel matrix with the display device, including spatially and temporally displaying the second pixel matrix relative to the first pixel matrix,
- wherein separating the frame of the image into the first pixel matrix and the second pixel matrix further includes separating the frame of the image into a third pixel matrix and a fourth pixel matrix spatially offset from the third pixel matrix, the third pixel matrix and the fourth pixel matrix both being spatially offset from the first pixel matrix and the second pixel matrix, and
- wherein displaying the first pixel matrix and the second pixel matrix further includes displaying the first pixel matrix, the second pixel matrix, the third pixel matrix, and the fourth pixel matrix with the display device, including spatially and temporally displaying the first pixel matrix, the second pixel matrix, the third pixel matrix, and the fourth pixel matrix relative to each other.
A system for displaying an image, the system comprising:
- a buffer adapted to receive image data for the image and buffer the image data to create a frame of the image;
- an image processing unit adapted to define a first sub-frame and at least a second sub-frame for the frame of the image from the image data, the second sub-frame being spatially offset from the first sub-frame;
- and
- a display device adapted to alternately display the first sub-frame in a first position and the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position,
- wherein the second sub-frame is spatially offset at least one of a vertical distance and a horizontal distance from the first sub-frame, and wherein the display device is adapted to shift display of the second sub-frame from display of the first sub-frame by the at least one of the vertical distance and the horizontal distance.
