Display technology spawns laser camera

An innovative imaging platform has been developed that uses scanned beams of light and is in effect a versatile “laser camera.”1 Leveraging technology originally developed for its scanned-beam displays, Microvision has developed a scanned-beam endoscope design that meets demanding size constraints (5-mm total diameter) while also delivering good resolution (currently SVGA). While recent developments have centered on biological and medical applications, the technology represents a unique and extensible imaging architecture that has applicability across a broad range of medical and nonmedical markets, including barcode scanning, machine vision, microscopy, and scientific imaging.
