Higher resolution than a display can have?

Ok, today I got an idea how to get "higher" resolution than a screen could have normally.
Well, I don't know if it really works, so I ask you..

As we look at a HMD we can see pixels, so what if the display vibrates so fast that you couldn't see the pixels, and with software the image would stabilized and added in a higher resolution than the screen has??

You've reinvented wobulation. It is used in some projectors, moving a small mirror is easier than a fullsize lcd.

I wonder if it could work to boost the resolution of lightfield displays.

Edit: apparently yes, wobulation works for integral imaging / lightfield displays: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/abstra ... 5-26-18253
