Laser Display

What is a laser display?

Laser display is a term used to describe the application of laser light for entertainment purposes. Show laser display systems are ideal for big shows and events because they create and project focused laser beams and effects such as animated images and patterns on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces over a long distance. Combining laser light systems with music emotionalizes people through a multitude of audio-visual impacts where rhythmic beats are accompanied by different illumination effects that harmonize to the music and underline the mood of the music. By additionally using smoke, fog, video projections, and large water screens, huge and impressive multimedia laser shows can be created.

Different types of laser displays

There are many ways to seperate one laser display system from another:
Depending on the color sources, there are RGB laser projectors (red, green and blue), single color laser displays (mostly red, green or blue) and rainbow show lasers (adding cyan, yellow, lime and / or orange to an RGB setup) for even more color shades.
Depending on the operation modes, there are laser devices that can be controlled via ILDA, DMX, LAN, SD-Card, Browser Interface, in automatic or music mode.
Depending on the power of the laser sources, there are entry level laser systems for beginners as well as high power projectors for highest demands and everything in between.
Depending on the scan speed, the show laser is more or less able to display graphics.
