Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A virtual retinal display utilizes photon generation and manipulation to create a panoramic, high resolution, color virtual image that is projected directly onto the retina of the eye. The virtual retinal displa y includes a source of photons, the photons being modulated with video information and scanned by a scanning system in a raster type of pattern directly onto the retina of the user's eye. A single, monofilament optical fiber (300) of very small diameter couples light from t he photon generator (308, 314) to the scanning system (16) so as to provide to the scanning system a point source of light at the fiber's exit aperture (306). The photon generator may utilize coherent or non-coherent light. Further, the photon generator may utilize color light emitters so as to scan a colored virtual image directly onto the retina of the user's eye.
