Abstract
A display system () with reduced speckle has a light source () providing an illumination beam and a linear light modulator () having at least one linear array of light modulating devices for forming a modulated beam. The modulated beam has a plurality of orders of diffracted light. An obstructing element () blocks a zeroeth order reflected light from the modulated beam. An angle-transforming optical assembly () anamorphically conditions the modulated beam. A scanning element () scans the modulated beam toward a display surface () for forming a two-dimensional image thereon.
