A laser projection device, including at least one laser diode for generating at least one laser beam. The laser projection device includes at least one laser driver for operating the at least one laser diode; at least one image processing circuit to supply control data for the at least one laser driver; at least one central processor and/or driver; and at least one control and/or regulating unit, which is configured to block the at least one laser driver in response to an occurrence of at least one fault. The at least one control and/or regulating unit includes at least one nonvolatile memory, in which at least a minimum set of monitoring functions is stored.

Laser projection device, method for its operation, and laser projector

A module for measuring an object located in a position finding zone; the module being configured for generating a primary beam; the module having a scanning mirror structure; the scanning mirror structure being controllable to allow the primary beam to execute a scanning movement within the position finding zone; the module being configured to allow a secondary signal to be detected when the secondary signal is produced in response to the interaction of the primary beam with the object in a deflection position of the scanning mirror structure; the module being configured to generate position finding information as a function of the deflection position of the scanning mirror structure; the module featuring a semiconductor laser component; the semiconductor laser component being configured for producing the primary beam and for detecting the secondary signal.

3D laser scanner

A projector having at least one laser diode which is designed to emit light, having a laser control device which is designed to control the at least one laser diode, having a first controllable resonant mirror which is designed to reflect the light that is emitted by the laser diode, and having a control device which is designed to control the orientation of the first controllable resonant mirror. The control device is further designed to reduce the power supply to the laser diode and to the laser control device in a first configuration of a power-saving mode of the projector, and to further control the orientation of the first controllable resonant mirror at a resonant frequency of the first controllable resonant mirror. Moreover, a corresponding method is described.

Projector, and method for controlling a projector according to the invention

A method for determining gestures in the beam region of a projector includes: projecting an image onto a surface with the aid of the projector, using light; measuring a first set of light intensities of light backscattered from the direction of the surface, under the influence of a gesture made in the beam region of the projector; assigning the measured light intensities to, in each instance, a position of the image projected by the projector; at a first time point, generating a first light intensity function over a second set of positions, which are assigned measured light intensities; at a second time point, generating at least one second light intensity function over the second set of positions; and determining the gesture made, based on the result of a comparison between the first and second light intensity functions.

Method and device for determining gestures in the beam region of a projector

An image display unit for displaying still or moving images, this unit having at least one ambient light sensor which is configured to detect a color and an intensity of an ambient light in the surroundings of the image display unit and this unit also having an intensity control device which is configured to adjust the intensity of each individual image point in the images displayed by the image display unit based on the detected color and intensity of the ambient light. Also described is a related mobile phone and a related method.
