Abstract

A speckle-free display system using coherent light is disclosed. The light is directed through a spinning diffusing element to illuminate a spatial light modulator. The spinning element is operable to move the interference patterns around the screen at a speed where it is undetectable to the human eye. The diffusing element is more than likely comprised of ground glass.
