| Title: |
Imaging Apparatus for Increased Color Gamut Using Dual Spatial Light Modulators |
| Abstract: |
A display apparatus (10) for projection of a color image from digital data
onto a surface (140) comprises a first modulation system which provides a
first modulated beam. The first modulation system comprises a first
spatial light modulator for modulating a first incident light beam in
order to form the first modulated beam according to the digital data; a
first light source provides a first color beam as the first incident light
beam; and a second light source provides a second color beam as the first
incident light beam. A second modulation system provides a second
modulated beam. The second modulation system comprises a second spatial
light modulator for modulating a second incident light beam in order to
form the second modulated beam according to the digital data; a third
light source provides a third color beam as the second incident light
beam; and a fourth light source provides a fourth color beam as the second
incident light beam. An optical combiner (30) directs the first modulated
beam and the second modulated beam for projection onto the surface by a
projection lens.
