Abstract
A method for forming a multipixel image on an imaging surface is disclosed. The method comprises projecting for each pixel in the multipixel image a plurality of beams of different colors towards the imaging surface. Each of the plurality of beams for each pixel is directed along a path towards the imaging surface, such that images formed on the imaging surface from each beam are convergent by substantially less than about 100%. An optical projector, a subtractive color flat panel display, and a CRT video display are also disclosed.

A method of doubling the addressability and increasing the modulation transfer function of a display displaying images as a plurality of red pixels, green pixels and blue pixels comprising:
- offsetting said green pixels from said red pixels and said blue pixels by at least one-half of the dimension of one of said red pixels in at least a first direction;
- and
- subpixel rendering input image data into output image data is displayed as a set of logical pixels upon said display;
- wherein the display is a projector and said offsetting is composed optically.
A method of doubling the addressability and increasing the modulation transfer function of a display displaying images as a plurality of red pixels, green pixels and blue pixels, comprising:
- offsetting said red pixels, said green pixels and said blue pixels by at least one third of the dimension of one of said pixels in at least a first direction;
- and
- subpixel rendering input image data into output image data such output image data is displayed as a set of logical pixels upon said display, wherein the display is a projector and said offsetting is completed optically.
A method for forming a multipixel image on an imaging surface, comprising:
- projecting for each pixel in said multipixel image a plurality of monochrome beams of different colors towards said imaging surface;
- and
- directing each of said plurality of monochrome beams for each said pixel along a beam path towards said imaging surface, wherein images formed on said imaging surface from each said beam are convergent by substantially less than about 100% of spatial convergence such that the number of independently addressable elements are increased;
- and
- subpixel rendering input image data into output image data such that output image data is displayed as a set of logical pixels upon said display, wherein plurality of monochrome beams are light beams;
- and wherein said imaging surface is a projection screen.
A method for forming a multipixel image on an imaging surface, comprising:
- projecting for each pixel in said multipixel image a plurality of electron beams exciting phosphors of different colors towards said imaging surface;
- and
- directing each of said plurality of monochrome beams for each said pixel along a beam path towards said imaging surface, wherein images formed on said imaging surface from each said beam are convergent by substantially less than about 100% of spatial convergence and
- subpixel rendering input image data such that output image data is displayed as a set of logical pixels upon said display, wherein a geometric center of each said electron beam lies along a locus of points describing a monotonic function.
A method for forming a multipixel image on an imaging surface, comprising:
- illuminating a multispectral light source;
- projecting light from said multispectral light source towards a first panel including an x by y matrix of a first color subtractive pixels, a second panel including an x by y matrix of a second color subtractive pixels, and a third panel including an x by y matrix of a third color subtractive pixels for each pixel in said multipixel image, said panels are convergent by substantially less than about 100% of spatial convergence;
- and directing each of said plurality of light beams for each said pixel along a path towards said imaging surface, wherein images formed on said imaging surface from each said light beam;
- and
- subpixel rendering input image data into output image data such that output image data is displayed as a set of logical pixels upon said display, wherein a geometric center of said first panel, said second panel, and said third panel lies along a locus of points describing a monotonic function.
