US Patent 10380927 Hybrid scanning display and associated mechanisms

A display device that significantly improves upon existing scanned display technology (Bloom et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,764,280), and allows for entirely new display form factors. Just a few of the embodiments may provide: low cost displays that replace computer monitors and televisions, folding displays on mobile devices, entirely new forms such as pedestal/conference room displays that allow a user to walk around virtual objects, or even provide fully immersive simulation environments with visual fidelity never before possible. Furthermore, one or more embodiments eliminate the shortcomings, discovered by the present inventor, in displays of the type described by U.S. Pat. No. 5,764,280.
