Abstract:
1. An improved 3D stereoscopic video projector system that includes a 3D stereoscopic, digital light processor video projector containing a light source, a single light processing element, a rotating color wheel with at least one Red segment, at least one Blue segment, and at least one Green segment that filters light from a light source, an eye-switching timing viewing device that receives the light from the light processing element to produce a viewable 3D image, and a color sequencing control firmware that controls the operation of the digital light processor, the improvement comprising: the color sequencing control firmware controls the transmission of light from the single light processing element to the eye-switching timing device or the transmission of light and the rotation of the color wheel so the transmission of light to the eye-switching timing viewing device is discontinued simultaneously with the alignment of the light source with at least one transmissive, non-critical color segment formed on the color wheel or the color sequencing control firmware controls the color wheel that includes at least one non-transmissive, non-critical segment so the non-critical segment is aligned with the light source during the unstable transition phase of the eye-switching viewing device.
