[0058]

[0059] The laser drive circuit of the present disclosure is used to drive a plurality of laser sources emitting laser light (ie, laser beams) of different wavelengths. As the laser light source, for example, three RGB laser light sources emitting laser beams of three different wavelengths of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) may be used. For the laser light source, it is preferable to use a semiconductor laser that is smaller in size and higher in efficiency than other light sources. However, a semiconductor laser is an example, and the laser source is not limi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a laser driving circuit, a laser driving method, a projector apparatus and an apparatus which uses laser light. The laser driving circuit includes a plurality of laser driving video current generation circuits configured to generate a plurality of kinds of laser driving current for driving a plurality of laser light sources configured to emit laser light having wavelengths different from each other based on an inputted video signal; a high frequency superposition section configured to superpose a high frequency signal having a frequency higher than a frequency band of the video signal on the laser driving current generated by the laser driving video current generation circuits; and a waveform correction section configured to correct a waveform of the high frequency signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a laser driving circuit, a laser driving method, a projector device, and a device using a laser (ie, a laser beam). Background technique [0002] As a device using laser light (ie, laser beam), for example, a laser display device that displays an image using laser light is available. In the laser display device, a laser source for emitting laser light is driven by a laser drive circuit, and a scanner scans the laser light to display images on a screen under the drive of the laser drive circuit. A laser display device of the type described in this way is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-66303. Contents of the invention [0003] In the laser display device, the optical path length of the laser light after the laser light is emitted from the laser source until it passes through the screen to the viewer's eyes to form an image varies randomly by minute irregularities of the screen. Then, in...
