Claims22
A system for displaying captions for viewing, comprising:
- a display for showing at least two captions in at least one of different colors with different spectral ranges and substantially complementary polarizations.
A reflector for selective viewing of captions, a plurality of which are shown on a display in at least one of different colors and polarizations, comprising:
- a filter configured for viewing a caption on the display in reflection mode;
- the filter being at least one of a color filter and a polarizer for selecting the caption for viewing without interference from other captions.
A method for displaying captions for viewing, comprising:
- showing at least a first caption and a second caption on a display;
- wherein the first caption is shown in at least one of a first color and a first polarization, and the second caption is shown in at least one of a second color having a spectral range different from the first color and a second polarization that is complementary to the first polarization.
