1. A display comprising:
- a screen;
a projector operative to project spatially modulated light onto the screen;
the screen comprising an array of elements having variable optical properties; and
a controller connected to receive image data defining an image to be displayed and to control the optical properties of the elements of the screen based on the image data to provide an image to a viewing area having an increased dynamic range in comparison to a dynamic range of the spatially modulated light projected onto the screen by the projector.
