Abstract
In a video projection device for showing a video picture composed of picture points of defined magnitude on a screen with at least one light source for emitting a light bundle with a predetermined beam profile for illuminating every picture point on the screen during a predetermined time interval, it is provided that the beam profile of the light bundle is expanded wider than the defined magnitude of the respective picture point to be illuminated and the time interval is so short that the magnitude of the picture point recognized in the eye of an observer watching the video picture is perceptible in conformity with the defined size of the picture point. A method, in which a video picture on a screen is formed of picture points in that a light bundle with a predetermined beam profile is directed onto the screen for the illumination, in each instance, of a picture point of defined size for a predetermined time interval, is characterized in that a light bundle with a beam profile which is expanded further than those by means of the defined size of the picture point to be illuminated is used in the method, and every picture point is illuminated within a time interval which is short enough that the magnitude of the picture point recognized in the eye of an observer watching the video picture is perceived in conformity with the defined size of this picture point.
