Abstract
A laser video projector for projecting an image to a plurality of screens is provided. It is possible to display an identical image to a plurality of screens by modulating light from the light source by an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) according to a video signal and projecting video information to a plurality of screens using a scanner. The laser video projector includes a light source for outputting a beam of white light, a light separator for separating the beam of the white light into beams of monochromatic lights having first, second, and third wavelengths, a light modulator for modulating the beams of the monochromatic lights according to a chrominance signal, a light combiner for combining the monochromatic lights modulated by the light modulator into a beam, a light scanner for scanning the combined beam of the modulated monochromatic lights, thus forming an image, a multi-screen projecting optical system for changing the light path so that the image formed by the light scanner is displayed on multiple screens, and a plurality of screens corresponding to the plurality of images.
