A miniature projector to allow the projection of images directly on a target surface, such as a viewer's retina, which is a compact and versatile device that further minimizes the potential for total immersion. The miniature projector can be selected for use in the monitor mode or full video and full color or monochrome operation. The miniature projector utilizes miniaturized 2D laser arrays integrated with nonlinear optical processes combining semiconductor technology with optics technology.
