Abstract

A method of presenting a complete image on the retina of an observer, wherein the image is comprised of a large number of pixels located along mutually adjacent lines. The presentation is effected by deflecting a limited number of pixels shown on a display over the image-perceiving area of a retina, wherein these pixels represent consecutively all pixels in the image. According to the invention, the display shows the pixels in at least one band of a limited number of complete lines in the image. The lines in the band are generated parallel with one another and such that each line represents successively the pixels in all lines of the image or a part-image. The band is deflected as a unit over the image-perceiving area of the retina in time with the generation of the lines on the display. The invention also relates to a system for use when carrying out the method.
