Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a paddle;
a plurality of pixel elements mounted on the paddle; and
a control system configured to;
control the paddle to sweep out an area;
selectively activate one or more of the plurality of pixel elements while the paddle sweeps the area to cause at least a portion of an image to be rendered on a display; and
apply a luminance balancing process across at least a portion of the display, the luminance balancing process based on characteristics that include a radial distance of a 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, comprising:
-
providing a paddle configured to sweep out an area; mounting a plurality of pixel elements on the paddle; and configuring a control system for; mapping an image pixel of a source image to a temporal pixel, wherein each temporal pixel 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 nearby inactive temporal pixels. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
