1. A display system, comprising:
- an optical transmitter configured to optically project digital image information associated with an image to be displayed; and
an active display including a decoder coupled with a plurality of display elements that are configured to produce visible light, where the decoder is configured to receive the projected digital image information and in response produce a control signal for each of the display elements, the control signals being usable to individually control visible light produced by the elements so as to cause display of the image.

Abstract
A display system, including an optical transmitter configured to optically transmit digital image information associated with an image to be displayed. The system also includes an active display including a decoder electrically coupled with a plurality of display elements that are configured to produce visible light in response to electrical stimulation. The decoder is configured to receive the digital image information and in response produce a control signal for each of the display elements, the control signals being usable to individually control visible light produced by the display elements so as to cause display of the image.

19. A display system, including:
-
transmission means for optically projecting image information associated with an image to be displayed; and
an active display including a plurality of sub-arrays, each having;
visible light-producing means for producing visible light in response to electrical stimulation; and
decoder means for optically receiving a portion of the projected image information and generating a plurality of control signals based on such portion of the image information, the decoder means being coupled with the visible light-producing means and configured to apply the control signals to the visible-light producing means so as to cause display of a portion of the image. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A method of actively displaying an image, comprising:
-
optically projecting digital image information associated with an image to be displayed;
optically receiving the projected digital image information at an active display device;
processing the digital image information to generate a plurality of electrical control signals that each correspond to one of a plurality of individual emissive display elements provided on the active display device; and
applying the electrical control signals to the emissive display elements to control visible light produced by the emissive display elements and thereby display the image.
