Scanned display with plurality of scanning assemblies

A tiled scanning display responsive to an image signal to produce an image including first, second, and third two dimensional, substantially non-overlapping image portions, comprising:

• a first scanning light source responsive to a first input signal to scan a first modulated beam of light through a first scan pattern to produce the first image portion, the first scanning light source including:
• a first light emitter responsive to the first input signal to produce a first modulated beam of light, and
• a first scanning assembly oriented to receive the first modulated beam of light and operative to scan the first beam of light through the first scan pattern to produce the first scanned modulated beam of light;
• a second scanning light source responsive to a second input signal to scan a second modulated beam of light through a second scan pattern that is substantially non-overlapping with respect to the first scan pattern in the image field to produce the second image portion during substantially the same time that the first scanning light source produces the first image portion;
• an electronic controller having a signal input that receives the image signal, a first signal output coupled to the first scanning light source and a second signal output coupled to the second scanning light source, the electronic controller being operative to the process the image signal to produce the first and second input signals;
• and
• a scanning display having an image which includes a third two dimensional image portion that is substantially non-overlapping with respect to the first and second image portions, further including:
• a third modulated light source responsive to a third input signal to modulate a beam of light aligned to be received by the first beam scanner, to scan the third modulated beam of light through a third scan pattern that is substantially non-overlapping with respect to the first and second scan patterns in the image field to produce the third image portion during substantially the same time that the first scanning light source produces the first image portion.
