Scanned linear architecture improves laser projectors

摘要

Display system designers have traditionally used one of two architectures to project an image onto a viewing plane, either a scanned beam or a two-dimensional panel. Each of these has advantages and disadvantages, but neither method is intrinsically suitable for commercially successful laser-display products. The scanned linear architecture combines the best features of both architectures. Key to the performance of this combined architecture is the grating-light-valve (GLV) technology.
