1. A visual display system having pixel-specific, visual accommodation comprising:
- light-emitting element array means for projecting one or more parts of a full image wherein the surface of said array is not optically orthogonal with the principal optical z-axis of the visual display system and wherein each pixel of said array is positioned at a fixed optical focal distance from the observer;
optical scanning means for displacing the optical radiation from said light emitting elements array means across the x-y plane of the field of view;
optical screen means for projecting the optical radiation from the light emitting elements means toward the observer'"'"'s eye preserving the optical focal distance of said light emitting elements;
computational means for calculating, controlling and synchronizing the illumination of said light emitting element array with said optical scanning means and said optical screen means to project to create a full image with pixel-specific visual accommodation to the observer.

17. A visual display system with varying pixel-specific visual accommodation further comprising:
-
at least one linear array of at least two light-emitting elements; at least one array element, optical focal length varying means for each light-emitting element; an array optical scanning means in a direction perpendicular to the axis of said linear array means, and at least one thin-film, optical waveguide screen means wherein the optical radiation output from said light-emitting element array means maintains the proscribed optical focal length from the focal length varying means to the observer'"'"'s eye in at least one dimension. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
