Abstract
A projected image is created by receiving an image represented in a colorspace onto a projector device. The image is parsed into two or more color image components of the colorspace having two or more different resolutions. The two or more color image components of the colorspace are projected in two or more different resolutions superimposed and coincident with each other to make the image.
Claims42
An apparatus for projecting images comprising:
- an image receiving component that receives an image represented in a colorspace;
- a parsing component that processes the image represented in the colorspace as two or more color image components in different resolutions including a green color image component at a higher resolution and one or more non-green color image components at one or more lower resolutions;
- and
- two or more light valves having different resolutions and capable of modulating the image from the two or more color image components in their corresponding different resolutions.
A method for projecting images comprising:
- receiving an image represented in a colorspace onto a projector device;
- parsing the image into two or more color image components of the colorspace having two or more different resolutions including a green color image component at a higher resolution and one or more non-green color image components at one or more lower resolutions;
- and
- projecting the two or more color image components of the colorspace in two or more different resolutions superimposed and coincident with each other to make the image.
A machine-readable storage device embodying a computer program product for projecting images, readable by a programmable processor, and comprising instructions operable to cause the programmable processor to:
- receive an image represented in a colorspace onto a projector device;
- parse the image into two or more color image components of the colorspace in two or more different resolutions including a green color image component at a higher resolution and one or more non-green color image components at one or more lower resolutions;
- and
- project the two or more color image components of the colorspace in two or more different resolutions superimposed and coincident with each other to make the image.
An apparatus for projecting images comprising:
- means for receiving an image represented in a colorspace onto a projector device;
- means for parsing the image into two or more color image components of the colorspace having two or more different resolutions including a green color image component at a higher resolution and one or more non-green color image components at one or more lower resolutions;
- and
- means for projecting the two or more color image components of the colorspace in two or more different resolutions superimposed and coincident with each other to make the image.
An apparatus for projecting images comprising:
- an image receiving component that receives an image;
- a parsing component that processes the image as two or more color image components in different resolutions;
- and
- a spatial light modulator capable of having different resolutions and capable of modulating the image from the two or more color image components in their corresponding different resolutions wherein the spatial light modulator is capable of being wobulated.
An apparatus for projecting images comprising:
- an image receiving component that receives an image;
- a parsing component that processes the image as two or more color image components in different resolutions;
- and
- a spatial light modulator capable of having different resolutions and capable of modulating the image from the two or more color image components in their corresponding different resolutions wherein the two or more color image components include a green image and a blue image and wherein the spatial light modulator modulates the green image at a higher resolution than the blue image.
