First Claim
Patent Images
1. A three-dimensional display device that comprises, in combination:
- a two-dimensional array comprising a plurality of light sources;
energizing means, comprising fixed electronics and movable display electronics, to activate the light sources in a determined fashion to produce a two-dimensional image; and
means to provide motion of said two-dimensional array to provide a three-dimensional image, as well as of the movable display electronics, so that the movable display electronics and the two-dimensional array move together as a unit;
said energizing means being controlled to modulate the lights as the two-dimensional array moves to produce said three-dimensional image.
