Abstract: Perceived clarity of an image presented by a display can be improved using an image stabilization technique to stabilize the image relative to a user's retina. During an illumination period, stabilization actuators are controlled to move a display panel or adjust optical components in the path of light associated with the image to shift the location of the image on the user's retina in response to head or eye movement detected by the system. In some embodiments, a display is configured to illuminate an image, and at least one stabilization actuator is configured to stabilize the image in a retina space associated with a user. Changes in the retina space can be detected by one or more sensors configured to detect a head position of the user and/or an orientation of the user's retina. The image is stabilized in retina space using the stabilization actuators.
