Abstract
An image projection system includes an image generator and first and second projection screens. The image generator respectively generates the first and second portions of the image on the first and second projection screens. The first projection screen projects the first portion of the image in a first color, and the second projection screen projects the second portion of the image in a second color. Such an image projection system is often less complex and less expensive than a conventional image projection system such as a projection television system. In addition, such a projection system often provides a higher-quality image than a conventional image projection system.
Claims30
An image projection system, comprising:
- a first optical projector operable to project a first portion of an image in a first color in response to a first optical signal;
- a second optical projector operable to project a second portion of the image in a second color in response to a second optical signal;
- and
- an image generator operable to respectively generate the first and second optical signals.
An image projection system, comprising:
- a first projection screen operable to project a first portion of an image in a first color;
- a second projection screen operable to project a second portion of the image in a second color;
- and
- an image generator operable to respectively generate the first and second portions of the image on the first and second projection screens.
A method, comprising:
- generating a first portion of an image on a first section of a projection screen, the first portion representing a first color;
- generating a second portion of the image on a second section of the projection screen, the second portion representing a second color;
- and
- projecting the first and second portions of the image from the first and second sections of the projection screen in the first and second colors, respectively.
An image projection system, comprising:
- a first image amplifier operable to project a first portion of an image in a first color in response to a first electromagnetic beam;
- a second image amplifier operable to project a second portion of the image in a second color in response to a second electromagnetic beam;
- and
- an image generator operable to scan the first and second electromagnetic beams onto the first and second image amplifiers, respectively.
