Patent ID: 8619167

Claim:
A system for displaying or capturing an image, the system comprising: at least one laser arranged to direct light into an illumination beam; a mirror coupled in a highly resonant mirror-mount system and configured to reflect the illumination beam; a transducer configured to deflect the mirror so that the illumination beam scans through an area where the image is to be displayed or captured; and a controller configured to apply a drive signal to the transducer, the drive signal having a pulse frequency approaching a resonance frequency of the mirror-mount system, and to address each pixel of the image in synchronicity with the drive signal, delaying the addressing of each pixel by an adjustable amount relative to a pulse of the drive signal, the adjustable amount based, in an open-loop manner without position-detection feedback during image display or capture, on a temperature of the mirror, and determined based on an intensity of the illumination beam by interpolation among a plurality of predetermined delay amounts corresponding to a plurality of preset illumination-beam intensities.
