Light beam delivery system
View Patent ↗A device for projecting images from a video generating device such as a computer, television receiver, or similar device onto a screen or other surface is described in this invention. The device uses a rotating disk containing numerous lenses to direct a light beam from a laser or other light source towards the screen. In one embodiment, a pulsed laser light from red, green, and blue lasers are combined into a single light pulse that is transmitted through the rotating disk that transmit each light pulse to a specific location on the screen.
1. A light beam delivery system for delivering a beam of light across a surface comprising
a source for a beam of light,
said beam of light consisting of a stream of pixels of information to display on the surface,
said pixels sent through a multitude of lenses on a rotating disk, such that each of the lenses receives multiple pulses of light and is aligned to direct a line of the pixels to a specific location on the surface.
2. The light beam delivery system of claim 1 wherein the beam of light directed across the surface forms a visible image on the surface.
3. The light beam delivery system of claim 2 wherein the visible image is generated by a computing device.
4. The light beam delivery system of claim 2 wherein the visible image is generated by a television receiver.
5. The light beam delivery system of claim 1 wherein the beam of light has varying colors.
6. A method of delivering a beam of light across a surface comprising
generating a beam of light,
said beam of light consisting of a stream of pixels of information to display on the surface,
transmitting said pixels through a multitude of lenses on a rotating disk, such that each of the lenses receives multiple pulses of light and is aligned to direct a line of the pixels to a specific location on the surface.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the beam of light directed across the surface forms a visible image on the surface.
8. The method of claim 7 wherein the visible image is generated by a computing device.
9. The method of claim 7 wherein the visible image is generated by a television receiver.
10. The method of claim 6 wherein the beam of light has varying colors.
11. An apparatus for the delivery of an image to a surface comprising
an electronic representation of the image;
a processing mechanism to transform the image into pulses of light;
said pulses of light transmitted through a multitude of lenses on a rotating disk, wherein the pulses of light are synchronized with the rotating disk, wherein each of the lenses receives multiple pulses of light and is aligned to direct a line of pixels to a specific location on the surface, such that the pulses of light form a visible representation of the image on the surface.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the pulses of light are comprised of many different colors.
