Scanning display device and speckle reduction method

摘要

A scanning display device includes: a light source section including at least one light source configured to emitting coherent light; a light scanning section including: a scan mirror configured to reflect the light originated from the light source section and scan over a screen; and a turning section configured to turn the scan mirror; a depolarizer having outgoing polarized light distribution in which a state of polarization of outgoing light consecutively changes within an element plane, wherein: the depolarizer is placed in an optical path along which the light emitted by the light source section reaches the screen; and the state of polarization of the light is changed, thereby scanning the screen with light that has a polarized light distribution, in which the state of polarization consecutively changes, in a beam diameter.
