Laser projection apparatus with bundled fibers
First Claim
1. A laser projection apparatus with bundled fibers comprising:
- a laser light source which emits infrared laser light, and red, green, and blue laser lights;
a fixing device which fixes an exit end portion of an infrared light radiating fiber used to transmit the infrared laser light and exit end portions of colored light radiating fibers used to transmit the red, green, and blue laser lights, respectively;
a scanning unit which projects an image on a projection surface by scanning the projection surface with the red, green, and blue laser lights emitted from the exit end portions of the colored light radiating fibers without combining the red, green, and blue laser lights with each other;
a detection unit which detects a reflected light of the infrared laser light emitted from the exit end portion of the infrared light radiating fiber; and
a control unit which controls emission of the red, green, and blue laser lights from the laser light source, based on information detected by the detection unit, so as to correct positional displacement occurring between projection points of the red, green, and blue laser lights on the projection surface,wherein the control unit shifts emission timings of the red, green, and blue laser lights with respect to each other, based on an amount of positional displacement occurring between projection points of the red, green, and blue laser lights on the projection surface due to a positional relationship between the colored light radiating fibers fixed by the fixing device.

Abstract
Provided is a projection apparatus that can enhance the efficiency of utilization of RGB laser lights, eliminate positional displacement in projection point caused by spaced-apart fiber cores emitting the laser lights, and detect additional information while projecting an image with the laser lights. The projection apparatus includes a laser light source emitting infrared and RGB laser lights, a fixing device fixing end portions of an infrared-light fiber and colored-light fibers used to transmit the infrared and RGB laser lights, a scanning unit projecting an image on a projection surface by scanning the projection surface with the RGB laser lights emitted from the end portions of the colored-light fibers, a detection unit detecting reflection of the infrared laser light emitted from the end portion of the infrared-light fiber, and a control unit controlling emission of the RGB laser lights from the light source, based on information detected by the detection unit.
