  • Multiview projector system
    Patent number: 9291830
    Abstract: A projector system includes an imaging device operable to direct light to a reflective screen, and an active light steering element placed in the light path between the imaging device and the screen. The steering element is operable to sequentially scan the light across the screen. The steering element may be used to temporally multiplex images at different viewpoints. The steering element enables trade-offs to be made between spatial, temporal, color and/or viewpoint resolutions of the images displayed by the imaging device.
