Scanned beam display

"A display apparatus includes an IR or other light source that produces light at a first wavelength that is modulated according to a desired image. The modulated light is then applied to a phosphor that converts the light to a second wavelength in the visible range. In one embodiment, the image source is a scanned light beam display that scans an IR light beam onto an image intensifier tube of a night vision goggle. In other embodiments, the image source is a LCD having an IR back light or a FED panel that emits electrons directly into a microchannel accelerator plate of the night vision goggles. In still another embodiment, the image source emits visible or ultraviolet light onto a phosphor that emits light of a different wavelength in response."

Display system and method for reducing the magnitude of or eliminating a visual artifact caused by a shift in a viewer's gaze

"A display system includes an image generator that generates an image and a control circuit that reduces or eliminates the viewer's perception of a visual artifact when the viewer's gaze shifts with respect to the image. For example, such a display system may generate a fill-in light to reduce or eliminate the viewer's perception of flicker or other visual artifacts when the viewer shifts his gaze with respect to an exit pupil through which the generated image is viewed. The system may match the fill-in light's brightness, color, or both the brightness and color to the brightness and/or color of the image."
