Abstract
A pulse-density-modulation display and image capture system comprises a display comprising a plurality of pixels. Each pixel comprises a light emitter that controllably emits light at a constant current for a variable amount of time and a control circuit connected to the light emitter to control the light emitter to emit light in response to an input signal specifying the desired luminance of the light emitter. The control circuit converts the input signal to a non-contiguous pulse-density-modulation signal and controls the light emitter to emit light in response to the non-contiguous pulse-density-modulation signal with a temporally variable constant-current control signal. Each pixel emits light responsive to a display timing signal. The pulse-density-modulation display and image capture system also comprises a sampling camera that records the pixels and is responsive to a camera timing signal different from the display timing signal.
