Abstract:
A device for generating an image on an image surface with NÃ—M individually illuminable image elements, comprising:a plurality of illumination units, each illumination unit associated with one of a plurality of continuous image surface sections, said plurality of image surface sections forming said image and each image surface section comprising a two dimensional ensemble of image elements out of said NÃ—M image elements, each illumination unit having at least one semiconductor radiation source and at least one optical imaging component of its own associated therewith, said optical imaging component imaging at least one radiation outlet onto each image element of said ensemble of image elements of the corresponding image surface section at separate times by beam deflection and subsequent free beam propagation, and each illumination unit having an associated beam deflecting device, each of said beam deflecting devices comprising at least one tilting micromechanical drive.
