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;
where the image information includes intensity information for each of the display elements, and where the decoder is configured to use such intensity information to duty-cycle modulate a pulse train for each display element, the pulse train being operable to intermittently activate the respective display element.

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.

4. 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; plural display elements, each 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 duty-cycle modulate a pulse train for each display element, the pulse train being operable to intermittently activate a respective display element so as to cause display of a portion of the image. - View Dependent Claims (5)
