Multiple Light Valve Lighting Device or Apparatus with Wide Color Palette and Improved Contrast Ratio |
| Abstract: |
An apparatus is disclosed comprising a lamp which produces a first light
which may be a white light; a first light valve, a second light valve, a
first color separator, and a first aperture device. The first color
separator receives the white light from the lamp, and separates the white
light into a first color light and a first residual light. The first
aperture device receives the first color light and the first aperture
device can be controlled to modify a frequency of the first color light to
the first light valve. The second light valve receives at least a portion
of the first residual light. The first aperture device could also be
controlled to substantially block at least a portion of the first color
light.
