Patent ID: 8355033

Claim:
A method of adjusting a light output of a projector system comprising a light source and a display unit with controllable elements for controlling a path of light originating from the light source, the method comprising: compiling a switching sequence for the controllable elements of the display unit, the switching sequence comprising long segments and short segments, whereby a long segment is of a duration greater than or equal to a predefined threshold and a short segment is of a duration less than the predefined threshold; obtaining a light output adjustment measure by which the light output of the light source is to be adjusted; generating a light pulse sequence such that the duration of a light pulse of the light pulse sequence during a segment of the switching sequence corresponds to the light output adjustment measure; arranging the light pulse relative to the switching sequence such that the activation of the light pulse does not occur during a short segment of the switching sequence; and wherein the predefined threshold is defined as time duration of the light pulse at a lowest dimming level such that the light pulse has settled by the time the long segment ends.
