  • Patent number: 7746414
    Abstract: Provided are an illumination system, a projection TV employing the illumination system, and a projection method. The illumination system includes: a laser light source which emits a plurality of laser beams including beamlets along different optical axes; and a diffractive optical element which spatially averages the laser beamlets by superimposing the laser beamlets to remove speckles of the laser beamlets and which shapes each of the laser beamlets.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2005
    Date of Patent: June 29, 2010
    Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Pavel Serafimovich, Sungha Kim, Byoungho Cheong, Sangwhoe Dho
  • Patent number: 7697079
    Abstract: Provided are an illumination system and a projection TV employing the same. The illumination system includes: a laser light source including a plurality of lasers which emit laser beams including a plurality of beamlets; a first diffractive optical element which separates the laser beams according to wavelength and which focuses the separated beams onto different segments of a second refractive optical element; and the second diffractive optical element which focuses and superimposes a plurality of beamlets, of the laser beams transmitted by the first diffractive optical element, in order to spatially average the laser beams and to eliminate laser speckle.
