Abstract:
According to the present invention there is provided a method of reducing speckle in a primary light spot which is projected onto a surface by a projection device which comprises a laser, wherein a primary light spot is defined by two or more secondary light spots, the method comprising the steps of (a) consecutively providing the laser with “n” different input currents so that the laser consecutively outputs “n” different light beams, wherein each one of the “n” different light beams defines a secondary light spot on the surface, wherein “n” is an integer value greater than one; and (b) superposing the secondary light spots. There is further provided a corresponding method of projecting a pixel.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of projecting a pixel, comprising the steps of,\n (a) determining the speed of oscillation of a MEMS mirror over its full amplitude of oscillation; (b) determining the time between the instant a laser receives an input current and the instant when a light spot is defined on a surface, wherein the light spot is defined by a light beam which output from the laser in response to the input current; (c) using the speed and time calculated in steps (a) and (b) respectively, determine the time available to project each of the pixels of an image; (d) indentifying the pixel which is to be projected; (e) indentifying the time available to project the pixel identified in step (d) using the time which were determined in step(c). (f) dividing the time available to project the pixel identified in step (d) by the time determined in step (b) to obtain a reference value; (g) carrying out the steps of  claim 1  with n being equal to or less than the reference value, and wherein the single primary light spot defines said pixel.
