Abstract

A display system for displaying an image (10) is disclosed. The system comprises a projector (3) comprising at least one collimated light source and a controller (8) for receiving image data and controlling the light source, configured such that, in use, an array of columns of image data representing an image (10) are projected sequentially onto a reflector (2). Due to persistence of vision they appear superimposed on one another when reflected (6) into the eye of an observer (7) and such that, when the observer's eye moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of orientation of the projected columns the observer (7) can view the image (10).

IPC Classes  ?

• G03B 25/02 - Viewers, other than projection viewers, giving motion-picture effects by persistence of vision, e.g. zoetrope with interposed lenticular or line screen
• G09G 3/00 - Control arrangements or circuits, of interest only in connection with visual indicators other than cathode-ray tubes
• G09F 19/18 - Advertising or display means not otherwise provided for using special optical effects involving the use of optical projection means, e.g. projection of images on clouds
• G03B 21/20 - Lamp housings
