Abstract
In an image projector having at least one projection beam that is actuated in the raster mode and in the calligraphic mode for representing a raster component and a calligraphic component of a total image that is projected onto a display, to attain a higher image brightness and a sharper image contrast during projection in non-darkened rooms, the at least one projection beam is a laser beam ( ) that is split into two linearly-polarized partial beams ( ′), with the two partial beams ( ′) being subjected to a separate modulation and deflection such that the one partial beam ( ′) writes the raster component and the other partial beam writes the calligraphic component. The two partial beams ( ′) are projected simultaneously onto the display; the partial beams may be optically superposed prior to being projected.
