Patent number: 11961436Abstract: A display system includes a display screen, a light source to generate a light beam to be modulated in accordance with image data, and a beam scanning module to receive the light beams and to direct the light beam onto an associated display region of the display screen. The beam scanning module includes a resonant scanning mirror configured to scan the light beam along a first scanning direction across the associated display region, and a polygon scanning mirror to scan the light beam along a second scanning direction across the associated display region.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Prysm Systems Inc.Inventors: Roger A. Hajjar, Scot C. Fairchild, Arthur R. Telkamp

The beam scanning module includes a resonant mirror configured to scan the light beam along a first scanning direction across the associated display region, and a linear scanning mirror to scan the light beam along a second scanning direction across the associated display region. The beam scanning module also includes an integral fold mirror positioned to reflect the light beam from the light source to the resonant mirror.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Roger A.

Patent number: 7003188Abstract: An optical switching system that switches the path of an optical signal by moving a microstructure onto which a light-guiding structure is mounted. The microstructure is formed by a MEMs and semiconductor process to be integral to the substrate. The light-guiding structure may include waveguides. The microstructure moves from one position to another position (e.g., laterally, vertically, rotationally) such that incoming optical signals align over a small air gap to different optical paths, depending on the position of the movable microstructure. As a result, the optical signal propagate along different optical paths (e.g., straight pass through or cross over) depending on the position of the movable microstructure. The optical paths have a large radii of curvature so as to change the direction of the optical signal gradually, thereby reducing insertion losses.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Inventors: Ying Wen Hsu, Arthur R. Telkamp

Patent number: 6990264Abstract: A 1×N or N×1 optical switch based on a plurality of movable MEMS-created platforms, each carrying a light guiding structure such as a waveguide, where the position of the platforms determines which optical path is connected through the optical switch. The MEMS-created platforms are formed integral with the substrate of the optical switch. The waveguides residing on the movable platforms gradually change the direction of the optical signal in order to minimize losses. The movable platforms can move linearly or rotationally, for example. Also described is a method for fabricating such an optical switch and its components by etching from the bottom of the substrate and through the oxide.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2001Date of Patent: January 24, 2006Inventors: Arthur R. Telkamp, Ying Wen Hsu
