A virtual pixel technology to enhance the resolution of monitors and for other purposes

Abstract

Current monitor and television displays utilize pixels to display an approximation of the real world collected by a camera or generated computationally. This paper proposes a virtual pixel technology which incorporates coloring LCD combination. Each physical pixel's configuration is based on a weighted average of the virtual pixels it contributes to. This allows lower pixel density displays to produce the approximation of a higher pixel density, while lowering production cost. The paper provides an overview of the proposed technology, discusses its application to monitors and extension to other areas and concludes with a discussion of the next steps to its development.

Enhancing head and helmet-mounted displays using a virtual pixel technology

“…In [1], the software component of this work was discussed. Its application to projectors was presented in [2] and its application to conventional displays was considered in [3]. All of these efforts have focused on increasing quality (which is discussed by Masia, et al in [4]) by increasing the level of resolution of a display, as perceived by its user.…”
