Abstract
A micro-lens array projection device has at least one light source, a field lens array, a projection lens array, and a pattern template arranged in a light beam path coming from the light source between the field lens array and the projection lens array for generating a light pattern from the light emitted by the light source. The pattern template is formed by a microslide array having at least two microslides. At least one microslide can be moved by at least one actuator in a plane located perpendicular to an optical axis between the field lens array and the projection lens array.
