Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first subpixel, of a light modulator pixel, having a surface with a rectangular aspect ratio adapted to complement light within a first wavelength range received at the surface of the first subpixel; a second subpixel, of the light modulator pixel, having a surface with a rectangular aspect ratio adapted to complement light within a second wavelength range received at the surface of the second subpixel, the rectangular aspect ratio of the surface of the first subpixel being different than the rectangular aspect ratio of the surface of the second subpixel, the first wavelength range being different from the second wavelength range; a third subpixel of the light modulator pixel, having a surface with a rectangular aspect ratio adapted to complement light within a third wavelength range received at the surface of the third subpixel; present a first portion of light within the first wavelength, having a first polarization state, to a first section of the first subpixel, rotate a second portion of light within the first wavelength, having a second polarization state, to the first polarization state, and present the second portion of light within the first wavelength, after said rotation, to a second section of the first subpixel, wherein the first section and the second section of the first subpixel are at least partially non-overlapping sections distributed along a major axis of the first subpixel; wherein each of the first, second and third subpixels has a first side that is opposite to a second side, and a third side that is opposite to a fourth side; and wherein the second side of the first subpixel is adjacent to the first side of the second subpixel, and wherein the second side of the second subpixel is adjacent to the first side of the third subpixel.
