Scanning projector and method for operating a scanning projector

A method for operating a projector, comprising:

• driving a light source module having a plurality of light sources wherein each light source emits a light of a different color from the other light sources and at least one of the light sources includes a plurality of light emitting elements emitting same color light beams;
• and
• executing scanning in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction through a scanner using light beams emitted from the light source module, wherein same color light beams emitted from the light emitting elements are projected on different positions of a screen within one frame.

A projector comprising:

• a light source module having a first light source including a plurality of light sources each emitting a different color light and a second light source including a plurality of light sources each emitting a different color light, wherein at least two of the light sources include a plurality of light emitting elements emitting same color light beams;
• and
• a scanner configured to execute scanning in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction using light beams emitted from the light source module, wherein light beams emitted from the first light source and light beams emitted from the second light source are projected on different positions on a screen within one frame.
