Patent attributes
A scanning beam display system includes an optical module, an image control module, and a display screen on which optical beams are scanned. The optical module includes a vertical adjuster placed in the optical paths of the beams to control and adjust positions of the optical beams along a generally vertical direction on the display screen, and a control unit configured to receive control instructions for the vertical adjuster and to control the vertical adjuster to be at one of a predetermined number of orientations to place the scanning optical beams at a corresponding distinct position on the display screen. The control unit is further configured to apply an adjustment offset to each orientation of the vertical adjuster such that each immediately vertically adjacent pair of beam footprints projected on the display screen resulting from the plurality of positions have a vertical overlap that is larger than a first threshold.
