Abstract
A display system employs an active image-generating screen () that presents a video image. The screen contains a plurality of block facets (), each containing a plurality of light-emissive modules () preferably implemented with LEDs. Each light-emissive module is configured so that the maximum intensity of that module's light emission occurs along a direction () materially non-perpendicular to the back surface () of the module's supporting body (). The modules are arranged so that their maximum light-intensity directions are largely the same. The block facets are configured to approximate a convex curved surface. The maximum light-intensity directions () of the block facets are thereby materially slanted relative to one another. Arranging the display system in this manner enables the light-processing efficiency to be very high. A motion simulator, such as a flight simulator, is formed by combining the screen with a reflective collimator ().
