==VARIABLE PIXEL DENSITY DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH MECHANICALLY-ACTUATED IMAGE PROJECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337849 titled 'VARIABLE PIXEL DENSITY DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH MECHANICALLY-ACTUATED IMAGE PROJECTOR

The abstract describes a patent application for head-mounted virtual and augmented reality display systems that utilize a light projector with emissive micro-displays to output frames of virtual content at a resolution higher than the micro-display's native resolution.

* The projector shifts physical positions of light output for individual pixels using actuators to fill in gaps between old locations, allowing for the creation of a higher resolution frame.
* By outputting subframes within the flicker fusion threshold, the system ensures smooth transitions between frames.
* This innovation allows low-resolution micro-displays to function as higher resolution displays by using the same light emitters for multiple pixels.

Potential Applications:
- Virtual reality gaming
- Augmented reality applications in industrial training
- Medical simulations and training programs

Problems Solved:
- Enhancing resolution of virtual content without requiring higher resolution micro-displays

==Original Abstract Submitted==

head-mounted virtual and augmented reality display systems include a light projector with one or more emissive micro-displays having a first resolution and a pixel pitch. the projector outputs light forming frames of virtual content having at least a portion associated with a second resolution greater than the first resolution. the projector outputs light forming a first subframe of the rendered frame at the first resolution, and parts of the projector are shifted using actuators, such that physical positions of light output for individual pixels occupy gaps between the old locations of light output for individual pixels. the projector then outputs light forming a second subframe of the rendered frame. the first and second subframes are outputted within the flicker fusion threshold. advantageously, an emissive micro-display (e.g., micro-led display) having a low resolution can form a frame having a higher resolution by using the same light emitters to function as multiple pixels of that frame.
