  • Publication number: 20240283898
    Abstract: A method is described for operating at least two laser devices for generating a display, in which the at least two laser devices generate a sequence of light points. In a first step, a first one of the sequence of light spots is generated during a first period of time by at least one of the at least two laser devices and a voltage drop across the at least one of the at least two laser devices is detected within the first period of time. A target brightness is then determined for a second of the sequence of light points for at least one of the at least two laser devices. Subsequently, a supply current and/or a turn-on time is determined during a second time period for generating the target brightness for the at least one of the at least two laser devices.
