Patent ID: 7982934

Claim:
A scanning display to project an image on a projection surface, comprising: a scanning assembly comprising a reflective scanning surface mounted so as to be pivotable about a first axis and a second axis in response to one or more control signals to deflect a light beam, wherein the reflective scanning surface is connected to a gimbal by a first set of torsion arms corresponding to the first axis, wherein the reflective scanning surface is immediately surrounded by the gimbal, and wherein the gimbal is rotatable on a second set of torsion arms corresponding to the second axis; and a driver operative to cause the reflective scanning surface to pivot about the first axis and the second axis by actuating the reflective scanning surface with the one or more control signals, wherein the reflective surface directs the light beam so as to scan the image on the projection surface; wherein the first axis is aligned non-orthogonally relative to the second axis so as to substantially correct for parallelogram distortion in the image.
