Abstract:
An automotive animated image projector comprises a light source emitting a light beam, a microelectromechanical system projector aligned to receive the light beam and project an animated image onto a target surface, a computer system programmed to control the light source and the microelectromechanical system with commands to produce the animated image, and a transmission link for sending the commands from the computer system to the light source and the microelectromechanical system projector. In some embodiments, the target surface is the ground next to a vehicle and the animated image illuminates the ground to assist entry into, and exit from, the vehicle. A method is also provided of projecting an animated image from an automotive animated image projector. The method comprises generating a light beam, directing the light beam onto a microelectromechanical system projector, manipulating the light beam by dynamically controlling the microelectromechanical system projector to generate animated images that are projected onto a target surface.

Claim (Index 26):
The method of  claim 22 , wherein said microelectromechanical projector comprises an LCoS LCD pixel array, and wherein said method further comprises dynamically controlling one or more electrical fields applied to said LCoS LCD pixel array to generate the animated images.
