1. A composite display, comprising:
- a paddle configured to sweep out an area; and
a plurality of pixel elements mounted on the paddle;
wherein 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 and wherein 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.

Abstract
A composite display may include 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 may cause at least a portion of an image to be rendered. A characteristic of at least one pixel element of the plurality of pixel elements that is associated with balancing luminance across the composite display associated with the paddle may be 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 for distributing an intensity value in a composite display, comprising:
-
mapping an image pixel of a source image to a temporal pixel of the composite display, wherein each temporal pixel of the composite display 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 neighboring or nearby inactive temporal pixels; wherein the one or more inactive temporal pixels comprise temporal pixels to which no image pixels are mapped. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A system for distributing an intensity value in a composite display, comprising:
-
a processor configured to; map an image pixel of a source image to a temporal pixel of the composite display, wherein each temporal pixel of the composite display corresponds to a pixel element of a paddle at a given sweep location; and distribute 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 neighboring or nearby inactive temporal pixels; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions; wherein the one or more inactive temporal pixels comprise temporal pixels to which no image pixels are mapped.
