A display system for providing a user viewable visible image,nincludes a view screen for receiving organic laser light and having a diffusingnoptical element so that the view screen, in response to organic laser light,nproduces a viewable visible image, wherein the diffusing optical element includesna viewing angle greater than 160° in a first viewing direction and greater thann100° in a second viewing direction orthogonal to the first direction; one or morenorganic laser light sources arranged in an array with each such laser light sourcenincluding a vertical cavity design and means for projecting and modulating thenintensity of the organic laser light from the array onto the view screen in a patternnto cause a visual image to be produced by the view screen; and means associatednwith the view screen for reducing speckle in the organic laser light. |
