High efficiency motion blur reduction

Abstract:

A video projector, a shutter mechanism for a video projector, and a method for reducing image blur. A shutter can include regions that are 100% transmissive to light and regions that are more than 0% transmissive (but less than 100% transmissive). The more than 0% transmissive regions raise the perceived brightness of the image relative to a shutter with 0% transmissive regions, enabling the 100% transmissive regions to be smaller. The smaller 100% transmissive regions result in reduced image blur. The more than 0% transmissive regions can include a filter that filters out certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum of the image to provide a perceived corrected image.
