  • Patent number: 6233024
    Abstract: In a rear projector with a housing on whose front side is arranged a screen for displaying a video picture, with a brightness-modulated and color-modulated R-G-B light source for emitting a light bundle, with a deflecting device for scanning this light bundle, wherein the light bundle is deflected by the deflecting device over a total angle &agr; with respect to vertical scanning, and with a deflecting mirror which is located in the housing and arranged at an angle &dgr;, wherein the light bundle exiting from a real or virtual vertex of the total deflection angle &agr; is deflected onto the screen by the deflecting mirror, the virtual or real vertex located in front of the deflecting mirror lies at a location where the smallest angle &bgr; of the light bundle to the surface of the screen during deflection is less than 20° and the angle &dgr; is given by δ ≤ 45 ⁢ ° - α 4 + β

  • Patent number: 6011643
    Abstract: In a device with a laser for image presentation in which the laser emits laser light of a defined coherence length L at a given wavelength .lambda. and in which there is arranged in the path of the laser light a first structure with which phase displacements can be carried out for individual photons of the laser light in accordance with a predetermined distribution, it is provided that the average path given by the ratio of the average root mean square of the phase displacement formed by the distribution and the magnitude of the wave vector k=2.pi./.lambda. of the laser is greater than the coherence length L multiplied by a factor of 1/(12).sup.1/2.
