    Speckle suppression has been the research focus in laser display technology. In the present paper, the relation between multiple scattering and the size of speckle grains is established by analyzing the properties of speckle generated by the laser beam through SiO2 suspension. Combined with dynamic light scattering theory, laser speckle suppression due to dynamic multiple scattering scheme introduced by oblique incidence is proposed. A speckle suppression element consists of a static diffuser and a light pipe containing the water suspension of SiO2 microspheres with a diameter of 300 nm and a molar concentration of 3.0×10-4 μm-3, which is integrated with the laser display system. The laser beam with different incident angles into the SiO2 suspension affecting the contrast of the speckle images is analyzed by the experiments. The results demonstrate that the contrast of the speckle image can be reduced to 0.067 from 0.43 when the beam with the incident angle of approximately 8° illuminates into the SiO2 suspension. The spatial average of speckle granules and the temporal average of speckle images were achieved by the proposed method, which improved the effect of speckle suppression. The proposed element for speckle suppression improved the reliability and reduced the cost of laser projection system, since no mechanical vibration is needed and it is convenient to integrate the element with the existing projection system.
