Abstract:
1. A display system comprising: a video input; an array of mirrors; a light source; a set of colored filters; and a set of prisms, wherein the set of prisms includes a first prism and a second prism, wherein the light source shines a pulse of white light through the set of colored filters and the set of prisms to form a first pulse of colored light having a first component color, a second pulse of colored light having a second component color, and a third pulse of colored light having a third component color, wherein the first prism delays the second pulse of colored light by a delay amount based on a distance light travels through the first prism and an index of refraction for the first prism, and wherein a third pulse of colored light is delayed with respect to the second pulse of colored light; and wherein the controller activates a first subset of mirrors in a mirror array to reflect the first pulse of colored light, activates a second subset of mirrors in the mirror array to reflect the second pulse of colored light, and activates a third subset of mirrors in the mirror array to reflect the third pulse of colored light.
