Abstract:
1. A method for displaying an image, comprising: (a) providing light comprised of a first color component, a second color component, and a third color component; (b) converting said light to a single polarization state; (c) separating said first color component from said second and third color components while said first, second, and third color components are in the same beam; (d) mismatching said polarization states of said second and third color components relative to each other while said second and third color components are within the same beam; (e) separating said second color component from said third color component while said second and third color components are within the same beam; (f) generating respective images from each of said first, second, and third color components separated from one another into different beams; and (g) projecting said images, wherein said polarization states of said second and third color components are matched again before generating said image from said second color component.
