Scanned display systems using color laser light sources

A display system for providing a user viewable visible color image, comprising:

• a) a display for receiving color laser light and having a diffusing element so that the display, in response to color laser light, produces a viewable visible colored image;
• b) a plurality of different color laser light sources arranged in an array with each such laser light source including a vertical cavity design having:
• i) a first dielectric stack for receiving and transmitting pump-beam light and being reflective to laser light over a predetermined range of wavelengths;
• ii) an organic active region for receiving transmitted pump-beam light from the first dielectric stack;
• and
• iii) a second dielectric stack for reflecting transmitted pump-beam light and laser light from the organic active region back into the organic active region, wherein a combination of the first and second dielectric stacks and the organic active region produces the laser light;
• and
• c) means for projecting color laser light from the array onto the display in a pattern to cause a visual image to be produced by the display.
