  • Publication number: 20250363922
    Abstract: Techniques for determining parameters for a dampener are disclosed. A system includes a laser beam scanning (LBS) display device comprising FS and SS mirrors. The LBS display device is driven by an input control signal. In response to detecting a condition, a service initiates a re-calibration event for the LBS display device. This event involves the determination of control parameters for a dampener that will be applied to the input control signal. The dampener operates to attenuate a peak magnitude of a frequency response of the SS mirror to a peak value that is at or below a threshold value. The service configures the dampener using the control parameters. The service then applies the dampener to the input control signal, resulting in the peak magnitude of the SS mirror's frequency response being at or below the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11614615
    Abstract: A laser beam display device that can dynamically control the resonant frequency of a mirror is provided. The increase the reliability of a device by controlling the resonant frequency of a mirror instead of requiring components of a display device to react to changes in the resonant frequency of a mirror. A controller can drive a mirror with an input signal, receive a signal or data indicating a target resonant frequency, and bias the input signal to control the resonant frequency of the mirror. In some embodiments, the controller can also receive a feedback signal from a mirror indicating a current resonant frequency. The controller can also bias the input signal to increase or decrease the current resonant frequency. By dynamically controlling the resonant frequency of a mirror, a device can minimize any difference between the current resonant frequency detected in a feedback signal and the target resonant frequency.
