Abstract:
1. A microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) raster optical display system, comprising: an image surface; a modulated light source; a microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) device that supports a reflective surface and tilts the reflective surface in first and second transverse directions, the reflective surface being positioned to receive modulated light from the light source and to direct reflected light toward the image surface in a raster scan pattern in coordination with modulation of the light source; and plural modulated light sources that each direct modulated light toward the reflective surface, the plural light sources being positioned so that the reflective surface reflects modulated light from each of the plural light sources to a separate region of the image surface, thereby to form plural contiguous, generally non-overlapping, raster scan patterns on the image surface.
