Abstract
A display system is provided, the system including an illumination source configured to produce light and direct light along an optical path, a plurality of color filters disposed in the optical path configured to generate a plurality of colored light beams, and a spatial light modulator disposed in the optical path adapted to receive and adjust the colored light beams to produce an image.
Claims17
A method for displaying an image, comprising:
- generating a multi-pixel low-resolution color image;
- and
- generating a high-resolution color image by spatially modulating individual pixels of the low-resolution color image.
A method for displaying an image, comprising:
- generating a low-resolution color image;
- coupling the low-resolution color image to optical fibers;
- and
- generating a high-resolution color image by refining the low-resolution image.
A method for displaying an image, comprising:
- generating a low-resolution color image, wherein generating the low-resolution color image includes both color and spatially separating incident light into a plurality of color light beams with a digital light filter;
- and
- generating a high-resolution color image by refining the low-resolution image.
A method for displaying an image, comprising:
- generating a low-resolution multi-color image defining an array of discrete colored light beams;
- and
- generating a high-resolution multi-color image by selectively refining each discrete colored light beam of the low-resolution image.
A method for displaying an image, comprising:
- generating a low-resolution pattern of plural differential light beams;
- and
- spatially modulating the each differential light beam to refine the low-resolution pattern, thereby producing a high-resolution image.
