Abstract
A single panel display may have discrete, dedicated segments associated with each of the primary colors. The segments may not be equally sized in some embodiments. The light from a light source may be split into color portions that are adjusted to accommodate to the differently sized segments dedicated to different colors.
Claims37
A microdisplay comprising:
- a contiguous first segment for pixels of a first color, a contiguous second segment for pixels of a second color, and a contiguous third segment for pixels of a third color.
A projection display comprising:
- a microdisplay comprising a contiguous first segment for pixels of a first color, a contiguous second segment for pixels of a second color, and a contiguous third segment for pixels of a third color;
- and
- optics to separate an illumination beam into said first, second, and third colors and to selectively expose said microdisplay with said colors of said beam.
A method comprising:
- forming a microdisplay with a contiguous first segment of pixels dedicated to light of a first color;
- forming said microdisplay with a contiguous second segment of pixels dedicated to light of a second color;
- and
- forming said microdisplay with a contiguous third segment of pixels dedicated to light of a third color.
1 more element
