ABSTRACT:
A device such as an integrated display device and projector apparatus using said display device for projecting an image on a screen comprises a number of light sources, waveguides, optical switches, micro-lenses and scanning mirrors. The display apparatus consists of said display device, a modulator circuit, an optical switch controller, a scanning mirror controller, a synchronizer and projection optics. This device enables the projector apparatus to be extremely small and to reduce its power consumption in comparison with conventional projectors.
