A multi-primary display device comprising:

• a light source to sequentially illuminate at least first, second, third and fourth primary color filters of a color switching mechanism;
• a spatial light modulator to modulate colored light of said color wheel in accordance with four or more primary color image component signals;
• a controller to sequentially generate said four or more image component signals during four or more electronic color intervals, respectively, wherein at least one of said electronic color intervals includes at least part of a spoke period during which a spoke between said first and second filters is illuminated by said light source.
