Abstract

A laser beam color image display apparatus includes a single laser beam source for emitting a laser beam from which a plurality of blue, green, and red laser beams are separated, or a plurality of laser beam sources for emitting respective blue, green, and red laser beams. The red laser beam is generated by adding a laser beam having a wavelength of 568.2 nm and a laser beam having a wavelength of 647.1 nm by way of active mixture. The laser beams are modulated in intensity with color signal components, and then deflected by a light scanner, composed of a polygon mirror and a galvanometer mirror to scan a display screen for thereby displaying a color image thereon. The laser beam having the wavelength of 568.2 nm and the laser beam having the wavelength of 647.1 nm are added at an output power ratio of 1:20, with the resultant red laser beam having a wavelength of 612 nm. The single laser beam source may comprise an argon-krypton mixed gas laser, or the laser beam source for emitting the red laser beam may comprise a krypton gas laser.
