Abstract
An alphanumeric or shaped image laser display device and method for producing a segment of an alphanumeric display or shaped image comprising a semiconductor light source for producing a beam of light, the semiconductor light source disposed in a user defined pattern within a substrate and an optical element positioned in the path of said beam of light and converting an input beam projected from said semiconductor light source into an output beam projecting to a set of predefined positions that represent a segment of an alphanumeric display or shaped image.
Claims24
An alphanumeric or shaped image laser display device comprising:
- a semiconductor light source for producing a beam of light, the semiconductor light source disposed in a user defined pattern within a substrate;
- and
- an optical element positioned in the path of said beam of light and converting an input beam projected from said semiconductor light source into an output beam projecting to a set of predefined positions that represent a segment of an alphanumeric display or shaped image.
A method of creating an alphanumeric or shaped image laser display comprising:
- producing a beam of light from a semiconductor light source disposed in a user defined pattern within a substrate;
- said semiconductor light source comprising an input beam;
- shaping the input beam of light with an optical element positioned in the path of the beam to produce a shaped output beam;
- and
- projecting to a set of predefined positions that represent a segment of the shaped output beam to produce a segment of an alphanumeric display or shaped image.
An alphanumeric or shaped image laser display device comprising:
- a housing to house one or more light sources;
- a semiconductor laser light source disposed within a substrate for producing a beam of light;
- an optical element for converting an input beam projected from said light source into an output beam that is projected onto a target to produce a set of predefined positions that represent a segment of an alphanumeric display or shaped image;
- and
- a second optical element to further refine said output beam before projecting to said set of predefined positions that represent said segment of an alphanumeric display or character.
