Patent Images

1. A method of employing a display system, for use within a workspace defined by a wall or other physical element to be limited in extent to a dimension D of limited depth, said method providing a visible image responsive to a video signal provided by a computer, wherein a transverse dimension W of said image is relatively large compared to the dimension D of the space within which said display system is employed, said dimension W being measured in a direction generally perpendicular to said dimension D, said method comprising the steps of:

  • providing a projector adapted to be connected to said computer for projecting an image responsive to said video signal, arranging said projector so as to project the image in a direction generally parallel to said dimension D, providing a screen for reflecting said image toward a viewer, arranging said screen so that its reflecting surface is generally perpendicular to the direction of projection of said image, and so that said reflecting surface is disposed in juxtaposition to said wall or other physical element defining said dimension D, and projecting said image toward said screen, whereby the width W of said image is maximized for a given depth D of the workspace.
