ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for producing a projected real-time visible display (9). A light source (2) and associated collimator (3,4) produces a collimated light beam (18) which is modulated by a linear array (6) of electronically controlled optical elements (16) with input data (30) that is formatted in a line-by-line fashion. A nutating mirror (8) sweeps the resulting modulated light beam (19) in synchronism with the input image line-segmented data (30), thereby producing the projected display (9). Elements comprising an electronic control circuit (11), which couples the input signal (30) to the modulator (6) and controls the nutation of the mirror (8), are presented, along with a timing diagram (FIG. 3) showing the functioning of the elements comprising said control circuit (11).
