Abstract
A three-dimensional laser driven display apparatus for the controlled projection and manipulation of laser generated images toward the creation of a three-dimensional display. The apparatus comprises an image signal generator, raster generator, laser beam generator and a varifocal mirror wherein the image signal generator and raster generator spatially encode the laser beam image. The laser beam is reflected by the raster generator onto the varifocal mirror, the vibration of which serves to spatially decode the laser beam image whereby a three-dimensional image is viewable projected in space standing off of the surface of the varifocal mirror. The interposition of an imaging surface between the raster generator and the varifocal mirror causes the three-dimensional display to be viewed directly upon the surface of the vibrating varifocal mirror.
