Abstract

A patch scanning display apparatus and a technique for reconstructing a target image frame on a projection surface is disclosed. The patch scanning display apparatus includes a backlight and a spatial light modulator (SLM). An optical scanning device scans the image projected by the SLM across the projection surface in accordance with a scan trajectory. A decomposition model is used to generate a set of image patches based on the target image frame and the scan trajectory. In an embodiment, the decomposition model is a projective non-negative matrix factorization model. The set of image patches are utilized to generate a modulation signal for the SLM and a binary backlight signal is then generated for each time step of the scan trajectory within a frame period to activate or deactivate the light-emitting elements of the backlight during the frame period at a high refresh rate while the projected image is scanned.
