Abstract
An area projection system for reproducing a visual signal on a surface, comprising a light source, a fiber element comprising a plurality of light guide elements, a carrier element and imaging optics, wherein the fiber element comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the fiber element is arranged on the light source and the second end of the fiber element is arranged on the carrier element, wherein the imaging optics are arranged on the second end of the fiber element, wherein the area projection system is adapted to transmit a visual signal from the light source to the fiber element and subsequently to the imaging optics, and wherein the imaging optics are adapted to reproduce the visual signal on a surface.

An area projection system for reproducing a visual signal on a surface, the system comprising:
- a light source;
- a fibre element comprising a plurality of light guide elements;
- a carrier element;
- and
- imaging optics;
- wherein a first end of the fibre element is arranged at the light source, and a second end of the fibre element is arranged at the carrier element;
- wherein the imaging optics are arranged at the second end of the fibre element;
- wherein the area projection system is adapted to transmit a visual signal from the light source to the fibre element and subsequently to the imaging optics;
- wherein the imaging optics are adapted to reproduce the visual signal on a surface;
- and
- wherein the carrier element is adapted to pre-distort the visual signal such that the resulting projected visual signal is reproduced substantially correctly on the surface.
