Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for subpixels of a light valve pixel having characteristics adapted to complement light within certain wavelength ranges are disclosed herein.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a first subpixel of a light modulator pixel having a characteristic adapted to complement light within a first wavelength range;
- and
- a second subpixel of the-light modulator pixel having a characteristic adapted to complement light within a second wavelength range, the characteristic of the first subpixel being different than the characteristic of the second subpixel.
A system comprising:
- an illumination module adapted to produce a first illumination bundle within a first wavelength range and a second illumination bundle within a second wavelength range;
- a light modulator pixel having
- a first subpixel with a first characteristic adapted to complement light within the first wavelength range, and
- a second subpixel with a second characteristic adapted to complement light within the second wavelength range;
- and
- an optical assembly optically coupled to the illumination module and to the light modulator pixel and adapted
- to receive the first and second illumination bundles from the illumination module,
- to present the first illumination bundle to the first subpixel;
- and
- to present the second illumination bundle to the second subpixel.

A method comprising:
- producing first and second illumination bundles within first and second wavelength ranges, respectively;
- and
- presenting the first and second illumination bundles to first and second subpixels of a light modulator pixel, respectively, the first subpixel having a characteristic adapted to complement light within the first wavelength range and the second subpixel having a characteristic adapted to complement light within the second wavelength range, the characteristic of the first subpixel being different than the characteristic of the second subpixel.
