  • Assymetric spot area spoke reduction
    Patent number: 10416547
    Abstract: In described examples, one or more devices include: a light source to generate a beam of light; and optics to generate a spot of light in response to the beam of light. A color wheel revolves in a direction of rotation about an axis, so the spot of light illuminates an area of the color wheel. The spot of light has: a first width; and a second width wider than the first width and orthogonal to the first width. The first width is aligned tangential to the direction of rotation.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for reducing speckle by vibrating a line generating element
    Patent number: 8059340
    Abstract: Provided is a method and system for reducing speckle in an image produced from a light source. The method, in one embodiment, includes providing a line generating element, the line generating element having a collection of optical elements having an axis. The method, in this embodiment, further includes directing an input beam of light at the line generating element while the line generating element is being vibrated back and forth in a direction substantially transverse to the axis.
