Luminance balancing
First Claim
1. A composite display, comprising:
- a paddle configured to sweep out an area; and
a plurality of pixel elements mounted on the paddle;
wherein selectively activating one or more of the plurality of pixel elements while the paddle sweeps the area causes at least a portion of an image to be rendered and wherein a characteristic of at least one pixel element of the plurality of pixel elements that is associated with balancing luminance across at least a portion of the composite display associated with the paddle is based at least in part on a radial distance of the one pixel element from an axis of rotation of the paddle.

Abstract
A composite display is disclosed. In some embodiments, a composite display comprises a paddle configured to sweep out an area and a plurality of pixel elements mounted on the paddle. Selectively activating one or more of the plurality of pixel elements while the paddle sweeps the area causes at least a portion of an image to be rendered. In some embodiments, a characteristic of at least one pixel element of the plurality of pixel elements that is associated with balancing luminance across at least a portion of the composite display associated with the paddle is based at least in part on a radial distance of the one pixel element from an axis of rotation of the paddle.

17. A method for distributing an intensity value in a composite display, comprising:
-
mapping an image pixel of a source image to a temporal pixel of the composite display, wherein each temporal pixel of the composite display corresponds to a pixel element of a paddle at a given sweep location; and distributing at least a portion of an intensity value of the image pixel that is assigned to the temporal pixel during the mapping to one or more neighboring or nearby inactive temporal pixels; wherein the one or more inactive temporal pixels comprise temporal pixels to which no image pixels are mapped. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
