Abstract
A display system comprises a linear array of light-emitting elements which can be driven in accordance with image information to be displayed, and a reflecting element provided with a reflecting surface arranged to rotate around a first axis and to reflect the rays coming from the linear array into an image-forming optical system for converting the light modulation into an image. The reflecting surface encloses an angle with the plane in which the first axis is situated.
Claims23
A display system comprising:
- a plurality of light-emitting elements which can be driven in accordance with image information to be displayed and are aligned with respect to each other in a well-defined manner;
- a rotating element having at least one reflecting surface;
- and
- an image-forming optical system for converting the light modulation generated by the light-emitting elements into an image, wherein:
- the at least one reflecting surface encloses an angle with the plane in which the axis of rotation of the reflecting element is situated, the axis of rotation of said element being substantially perpendicular to the light path of the light-emitting elements;
- and
- the at least one reflecting surface of the rotating element is deformable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of rotation.
A display system comprising a plurality of light-emitting elements which can be driven in accordance with image information to be displayed and are aligned with respect to each other in a well-defined manner, further comprising a rotating a element having at least one reflecting surface, and an image-forming optical system for converting the light modulation generated by the light-emitting elements into an image, characterized in that the at least one reflecting surface encloses an angle with the plane in which the axis of rotation of the reflecting element is situated, the axis of rotation of said element being substantially perpendicular to the light path of the light-emitting elements, wherein a plurality of reflecting surfaces of the rotating element are deformable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of rotation.
