Abstract
A near-eye display system includes a display panel to present image frames to the eyes of a user for viewing. The system also includes a beam steering assembly facing the display panel that is configurable to displace a light beam incident on the beam steering assembly, thereby laterally shifting light relative to an optical path of the light beam incident on the beam steering assembly. A method of operation of the near-eye display system includes configuring the beam steering assembly in a first configuration state so that the beam steering assembly displaces a light beam incident on the beam steering assembly, such that the displaced light beam is laterally shifted relative to an optical path of the light beam.
