ABSTRACT:
A two-dimensional image formation apparatus according to the present invention is provided with laser sources (1a)˜(1c), diffusers (6a)˜(6c) for diffusing light, illumination optical systems for irradiating the diffusers (6a)˜(6c) with lights emitted from the laser sources (1a)˜(1c), diffuser vibration units (13a)˜(13c) for vibrating the diffusers (6a)˜(6c), and spatial light modulators (7a)˜(7c) disposed near the diffusers (6a)˜(6c), for modulating the lights emitted from the laser sources (1a)˜(1c) and diffused by the diffusers (6a)˜(6c), wherein the diffusers (6a)˜(6c) are vibrated by the diffuser vibration units (13a)˜(13c) at a velocity that satisfies a relationship, V>d×30 (millimeters/sec), which is established between the grain size d of the diffusers and the vibration speed V of the diffusers, whereby speckle noise existing in an image projected on a screen (11) can be effectively reduced.
