Abstract: A high-reliability display system is disclosed. The display system includes a plurality of projection channels. Each projection channel projects a substantially mutually exclusive portion of an image onto a display area. A controller determines the content and size of each portion that each projection channel projects onto the display area so that the image substantially fills the display area during normal conditions. When one of the projection channels is inoperative, the controller adjusts the portions of the image that are projected by the operative projection channels to optimize the image on the display area.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical display system and method for producing images and presenting the images for observation in combination with an observer's visual exterior view of an outside scene. The optical display system may include an image source for projecting an image, and a curved beam combination mirror (CBCM) or beam combination mirror (BCM) for reflecting the projected image toward an observer for observation. The image source may be a transmissive LCD, a reflective LCD, a digital micromirror device, a laser display, or the like. The CBCM or BCM may be positioned so that the observer, in a line of sight, may see a visual exterior view of an outside scene through the CBCM or BCM and the projected image in the CBCM or BCM.

Abstract: A method of reducing luminance decay of emissive elements in a matrix addressed emissive display device includes generating control data corresponding to a static image to be displayed on a matrix of individually addressable emissive display elements. Drive signals are generated as a function of the control data, and are provided to the matrix to thereby energize the corresponding emissive display elements of the matrix in order to display the static image on the matrix. The control data are altered substantially continuously in order to substantially continuously move the static image on the matrix.
