Abstract
Aspects of the present invention include systems for reflective digital light processing (DLP). Embodiments include a light source, a plurality of optically reflective switching devices each having an optically reflective layer in contact with a substrate; a circuit means and power source; controller logic; a projection means; and a display means; wherein each of said plurality of devices is a capable of receiving light from said light source and thereafter reflecting said received light in direct response to a reflective state condition of said each device.
Claims5
A display system comprising:
- a light source;
- array of a plurality optically reflective switching devices (ORSDs) having an optically reflective layer having at least one electrochromic material, a substrate, and an associated excitation means and controller, and a computer program product stored on a computer usable medium comprising computer readable program means for causing said computer to control an execution of an application;
- the computer program product including program instructions for controlling said excitation means to electrically excite said layer of each device to a first state of excitation or to a second state of excitation;
- a circuit means and power source;
- one or more controller logic;
- a color wheel means;
- a projection means;
- and a display means;
- wherein each of said plurality of devices is a capable of receiving light from said light source and thereafter reflecting said received light in direct response to a reflective state condition of said each device, wherein a transparency of the optically reflective layer is affected to range from the reflective state condition to a transparent state condition in relation to a present electric field.
