In and relating to displays

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling a display device to generate a colour image for viewing by a user on a display, the colour image being formed by one or more colour components each of a colour selected from two or more different colours to be displayed with predetermined relative timings. Received image data define one or more colour components of a feature to be displayed as an element in the colour image. Rate data are received, e.g. from an associated tracker system, indicative of a rate of change in orientation of the display relative to a direction of gaze of an eye of the user. The received rate data are used to determine a position on the display for displaying each of the one or more colour components of the feature including determining any respective adjustment required to a determined position for the colour component according to its respective colour, the received rate data and the predetermined relative timings. The determined position of each of the one or more colour components is output to the display device for display of the colour component at the respective determined position.
