Laser phosphor based pixelated light source

A light generating device comprising (i) n laser light sources, (ii) focusing optics, and (iii) a plurality of luminescent bodies, wherein:

• the n laser light sources are configured to generate laser light source light;
• wherein the focusing optics are configured to focus the laser light source light into a focused beam of laser light source light;
• wherein n≥4;
• the luminescent bodies comprising a luminescent material, wherein the luminescent bodies are configured in a light receiving relationship with the n laser light sources, wherein the luminescent material is configured to convert at least part of the laser light source light into luminescent material light;
• the n laser light sources, and focusing optics are configured to provide in an operational mode light spots of laser light source light on the plurality of luminescent bodies, wherein k sets of light spots each have an individually selected number of m light spots, wherein two or more of the light spots within each set have a partial overlap, wherein 2≤m≤n and 1≤k<n;
• and
• wherein a first spot area is defined by 10-100% of the maximum intensity in the light spot, wherein for at least one of the light spots within at least one of the k sets applies that in the range of 5-80% of its first spot area overlaps with at least another first spot area within the set,
• wherein for each of the luminescent bodies at least two of n laser light sources, together with the focusing optics, are configured to provide in the operational mode light spots of laser light source light on the respective luminescent body.
