In accordance with the invention, a display apparatus comprising a light source is provided, said light source comprising at least one superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED), the apparatus further comprising at least one light modulating device arranged in a beam path of a light beam emitted by said light source and operable to emit influenced light upon incidence of said light beam, the light modulating device being operatively connected to an electronic control, the display apparatus further comprising a projection optics arranged in a beam path of said influenced light.

Display apparatus, method and light source

In accordance with the invention, a light source for display and/or illumination is provided, the light source comprising a heterostructure including semiconductor layers, the heterostructure forming a waveguide between a first end and a second end, the heterostructure comprising a plurality of layers and comprising an optically active zone formed by the plurality of layers, the optically active zone capable of emitting light guided by said waveguide, at least two different radiative transitions being excitable in the optically active an electrical current between a p-side electrode and an n-side electrode, transition energies of said at least two different radiative transitions corresponding to wavelengths in the visible part of the optical spectrum, the light source further comprising means for preventing reflections of light from the waveguide by at least one of said first and second end back into the waveguide, thereby causing the light source to comprise a superluminescent light emitting diode.

Light source, and device

In accordance with the invention, a display apparatus including a light source is provided, the light source having at least one superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED), the apparatus further having at least one light modulating device arranged in a beam path of a light beam emitted by the light source and operable to emit influenced light upon incidence of the light beam, the light modulating device being operatively connected to an electronic control, the display apparatus further having a projection optics arranged in a beam path of the influenced light.
