METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LASER PROJECTION AND HOLOGRAPHIC DIFFRACTION GRATING FOR A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for projecting an image from a vehicle onto a surface, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) installing a laser diode assembly in said vehicle;
(b) connecting a set of lines from said laser diode assembly to a power source of said vehicle, said set of lines for providing positive and negative current flow;
(c) securing a lens to an output end of said laser diode assembly, said lens comprising a light diffraction image; and
(d) activating said laser diode assembly so as to project a beam of light from said laser diode assembly through said lens so as to project said light diffraction image upon said surface.

Abstract
The present invention is a method and system for projecting an image from a vehicle onto a surface, such as a road or sidewalk. A laser diode assembly is installed in the vehicle and comprises: a light beam source; a power source; a power regulating chip; an image creation means; and, power activating means. A lens is secured to an output end of the laser diode assembly, and comprises a light diffraction image which can be a message, logo, or graphic design Activation is initiated by switching on the assembly from a position within the interior of the vehicle, or by an activity such as the opening of a door. The activation is ramped up to a full-on state over a pre-set period of time.

21. A method for projecting an image from a vehicle onto a surface, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) installing a laser diode module in said vehicle; (b) connecting a set of lines from said laser diode assembly to a power source of said vehicle, said set of lines for providing positive and negative current flow; (c) securing a lens to an output end of said laser diode assembly, said lens comprising a light diffraction image; (d) directing power from said vehicle power source to an inline regulator chip, said regulator chip for providing a voltage usable by said laser diode assembly; (e) activating said laser diode assembly, by switching on said laser diode assembly from a position within the interior of said vehicle, so as to project a beam of light from said laser diode assembly through said lens; (f) ramping up said activation to a full-on state over a pre-set period of time; and (g) projecting said light diffraction image upon said surface.
