摘要:
A digital image projector includes an illumination-light source lamp and illumination beam forming optics for forming a white-spectrum illumination beam and color-band-separation optics to divide the illumination beam into color-component subbeams. The digital image projector also includes a reflective digital-image-encoding polarization modulator mechanism such as a reflective liquid crystal display polarization modulator to reflectively modulate the linearly polarized subbeams to form color-component image encoded-polarization subbeams and projection lens optics for projecting a color image divided from the image encoded-polarization subbeams. The digital image projector further includes a plate-supported, surface mounted fixed polarization-axis polarizing beamsplitter such as a wire-grid polarizing beamsplitter for dividing the color image from the image-encoded-polarization subbeams in which a polarizer support plate of the polarizing beamsplitter faces an illumination-source side of the optical system of the projector.

An image display system utilizes primarily non-absorptive polarization components to polarize light illuminating an imaging device. The non-absorptive polarization components reduce cost and cooling requirements, increase durability, and permit the use of high powered light sources.

A multi-stripe scrolling apparatus has a beam splitter (13) that internally reflects white light onto a movable array of holographic elements (30, 32, 34) that respectively emit three different color beams that are focused onto a light valve (36), causing bands of the three colors to sequentially scroll across the light valve (36).

A light source includes an array of LEDs in each of a plurality colors such as red, green, and blue in the entrance aperture of a tubular reflector which preferably has convex walls facing the optic axis and flares outward toward the exit aperture, and preferably has a polygonal cross section such as a square. Mixing of colors is further promoted by utilizing a large number of small LEDs with the LEDs of each color being centered on the optic axis.

The present invention is directed to illumination structures useful in display systems for projection video and television devices performing with high efficiency and good color rendition. Such illumination sources include a light source having an inner and outer envelope with plane mirrors within the outer envelope to direct reflected light, a light source providing randomly polarized light with polarizing structure for passing a desired polarization of the polarized light, and an arc lamp having at least two arcs for supplying uniform illumination in two dimensions. These illuminating structures enable significantly improved illumination in the appropriate projection video and television systems.
摘要:
Display systems useful for projection video and television systems are provided to perform with high efficiency and good color rendition. In these systems, color may be provided, as one example, by various light valves, such as liquid crystal displays. Each of the liquid crystal displays are positioned at equal path distances from an illuminating subsystem, and have equal path distances from the light valves to a projection subsystem. This enables optimum illumination of each of the light valves. Various embodiments of arranging the light valves, as well as providing illumination are described.
摘要:
A system and method for motion compensation of color sequential displays, receiving a motion image data input, extracting an estimate of a motion of an image portion represented in said image data input with a motion estimator, and calculating, for a time instance of display of each image subframe of an image frame, a compensated representation for reducing display artifacts with a processor, wherein each subframe represents a different aspect of the image frame. The subframes are preferably different color planes of the image frame. The processor preferably performs a bilinear interpolation where the compensated image boundary does not fall on a display pixel boundary. The motion compensation algorithm is preferably robust in the face of erroneous motion vectors. The system and method is advantageously used in single panel liquid crystal display projection systems, although the techniques are applicable to various image display technologies.

摘要:
An optical processing system for controlling a deformable mirror employs iterative constrained deconvolution of an actuator influence function with a set of optical representations of spatial impulse functions related to the settings of the actuators. An input optical beam is first transformed to a beam having a uniform phase amplitude proportional to the phase of the incoming beam at corresponding locations.
