Request InfoMirrorcle Technologies Inc.RICHMOND, Calif., Sept. 28, 2018 — A MEMS-based programmable light source from Mirrorcle Technologies Inc. selectively directs the high-power laser by means of the company's gimbal-less MEMS mirror to the desired section of a phosphor plate, so the project light can be arbitrarily shaped with a high contrast ratio. This allows for fully arbitrary scanning of not only raster scans across the whole field of regard or selectively in controllable areas within that space, but also enables shaping the outgoing light by means of vector graphics scanning of shapes, symbols, or characters.
