Patent ID: 7883214

Claim:
An image projection arrangement for projecting a two-dimensional, color image, comprising: a scanner including a movable scan mirror; a laser package spaced away from the scan mirror, and including a common substrate, a common exit port, and a plurality of solid-state, semiconductor laser chips mounted on the common substrate within the package, the laser chips being operative for emitting a plurality of laser beams of different wavelengths through the common exit port towards the scan mirror; a common focusing lens through which the plurality of laser beams pass towards the scan minor along respective divergent paths that are in angular misalignment; an optical corrector element positioned in at least one of the divergent paths, for correcting the misalignment, and for directing the plurality of laser beams to be incident, and occupy a common footprint, on the scan minor; and a controller for moving the scan minor to sweep the incident laser beams in a pattern of scan lines in space, each scan line having a number of pixels, and for causing selected pixels to be illuminated, and rendered visible, to produce the image.
