1. A method of presenting an image using a multi-component display, said method comprising:
- displaying, at a first display screen of said multi-component display, a first graphical object in accordance with a first luminance;
increasing said first luminance using an emissive component disposed between said first display screen and a second display screen of said multi-component display;
displaying, at said second display screen, a second graphical object in accordance with a second luminance, wherein said first display screen overlaps said second display screen; and
wherein said displaying said first and second graphical objects further comprises displaying said first and second graphical objects in an overlapping manner to thereby present an image, wherein a perceived depth of said image is related to said first and second luminance.

Abstract
A method of displaying an image with variable perceived depth using a display (1) including one or more at least partially transparent, substantially parallel imaging screens (3) located in front of, and overlapping with, a rear imaging screen (4),
characterized in that a physical image is formed on two or more imaging screens (3,4), each image being of substantially identical configuration and being sized and aligned such that like portions of each image are coterminous to a viewer observing the display,
wherein at least two of said coterminous images are displayed with different luminance.

13. A method of varying a perceived depth of an image presented using a multi-component display, said method comprising:
-
displaying, at a first display screen of said multi-component display, a first graphical object with a first luminance; increasing said first luminance using an emissive component disposed between said first display screen and a second display screen of said multi-component display; displaying, at said second display screen, a second graphical object with a second luminance, wherein said first display screen overlaps said second display screen; wherein said displaying said first and second graphical objects further comprises displaying said first and second graphical objects in an overlapping manner to thereby present an image, wherein a perceived depth of said image is related to said first and second luminance; and varying said perceived depth by altering at least one luminance selected from a group consisting of said first luminance and said second luminance. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A multi-component display comprising:
-
a first display screen operable to display a first graphical object in accordance with a first luminance; a second display screen operable to display a second graphical object in accordance with a second luminance, wherein said first display screen overlaps said second display screen; an emissive component disposed between said first and second display screens, wherein said emissive component is operable to increase said first luminance; and wherein said first and second display screens are further operable to display said first and second graphical objects in an overlapping manner to thereby present an image, wherein a perceived depth of said image is related to said first and second luminance. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A method of presenting a graphical object using a multi-component display, the multi-component display including a first display screen including a first plurality of pixels, the multi-component display including a second display screen including a second plurality of pixels, said method comprising:
-
generating, using at least a portion of the first plurality of pixels, a first portion of the graphical object; displaying, at the first display screen, said first portion of the graphical object in accordance with a first luminance; generating, using at least a portion of the second plurality of pixels, a second portion of the graphical object; displaying, at the second display screen, said second portion of the graphical object in accordance with a second luminance; wherein said first display screen overlaps said second display screen; overlapping display of the first portion of the graphical object with the display of the second portion of the graphical object to thereby generate display of the graphical object; and providing a luminance associated with said first display screen that is greater than a luminance associated with said second display screen, wherein said providing a luminance further comprises providing said luminance using an emissive component disposed between said first display screen and said second display screen, and wherein a perceived depth of said graphical object is related to said first and second luminance. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A multi-component display comprising:
-
means for displaying a first graphical object in accordance with a first luminance, wherein said means for displaying said first graphical object is further operable to display said first graphical object using at least one pixel; means for displaying a second graphical object in accordance with a second luminance, wherein said means for displaying said second graphical object is further operable to display said second graphical object using at least one pixel, wherein said means for displaying said first graphical object overlaps said means for displaying said second graphical object; wherein said means for displaying said first and second graphical objects are further operable to display said first and second graphical objects in an overlapping manner to thereby present an image, wherein a perceived depth of said image is related to said first and second luminance; and means for increasing said first luminance, wherein said means for increasing said first luminance is disposed between said means for displaying said first and second graphical objects. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45)
