Patent ID: 8226242

Claim:
A projection display comprising: an illumination unit which irradiates a plurality of single color light beams; a first scanner which scans the plurality of light beams irradiated from the illumination unit along a first direction; a light modulator with a linear array of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) devices that are arranged parallel to the first direction so as to turn a light beam scanned by the first scanner ON or OFF for each pixel; an F-θ lens disposed between the first scanner and the light modulator and having a first entrance pupil on which a light beam scanned by the first scanner is incident and a second entrance pupil on which light beams modulated by the light modulator are incident; and a second scanner disposed opposite to the second entrance pupil of the F-θ lens and scanning a light beam passing through the second entrance pupil of the F-θ lens on a screen along a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.
