Image display system and method including optical scaling
First Claim
1. A method of displaying an image having a first aspect ratio with a display device having a second aspect ratio, the method comprising:
- receiving image data for the image;
buffering the image data and creating a frame of the image at the first aspect ratio;
defining a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame for the frame of the image at the second aspect ratio, including spatially offsetting the second sub-frame from the first sub-frame in one direction; and
alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position with the display device, including optically scaling a displayed image of the first sub-frame and a displayed image of the second sub-frame in the one direction.

Abstract
A method of displaying an image having a first aspect ratio with a display device having a second aspect ratio includes receiving image data for the image, buffering the image data and creating a frame of the image at the first aspect ratio, defining a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame for the frame of the image at the second aspect ratio, including spatially offsetting the second sub-frame from the first sub-frame in one direction, and alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position with the display device, including optically scaling a displayed image of the first sub-frame and a displayed image of the second sub-frame in the one direction.

13. A system for displaying an image having a first aspect ratio, 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 at the first aspect ratio;
an image processing unit adapted to define a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame for the frame of the image at a second aspect ratio, the second sub-frame being spatially offset from the first sub-frame in one direction; and
a display device having the second aspect ratio and 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 display device is adapted to optically scale a displayed image of the first sub-frame and a displayed image of the second sub-frame in the one direction. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A system for displaying an image having a first aspect ratio, the system comprising:
-
means for receiving image data for the image and creating a frame of the image at the first aspect ratio;
means for defining a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame for the frame of the image at a second aspect ratio, the second sub-frame being spatially offset from the first sub-frame in one direction;
means for sequentially displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position; and
means for optically scaling a displayed image of the first sub-frame and a displayed image of the second sub-frame in the one direction. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
