Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to producing a viewable image using a plurality of individually-addressable vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) arranged into an array. In one example, a display system comprises a light source comprising a plurality of VCSELs arranged into an array comprising one or more first color rows of VCSELs configured to produce a first color, one or more second color rows of VCSELs configured to produce a second color, and one or more third color rows of VCSELs configured to produce a third color. Each VCSEL in a given row has a coordinate that is staggered relative to a coordinate of each of the VCSELs in one or more rows adjacent to the given row. The display system also comprises a scanning system to direct light from at least a portion of the plurality of VCSELs to produce a viewable image.
