Patent ID: 8152305

Claim:
A method for full spectrum projection comprising: (a) projecting a broadband electromagnetic wave beam from a broadband electromagnetic wave source; (b) separating the broadband electromagnetic wave beam into a plurality of four or more spatially separate narrowband-wavelength beams, wherein each of the plurality of beams has a bandwidth on the order of no more than about twenty-five nanometers; (c) directing the narrowband-wavelength beams across a predetermined area; (d) selecting, from among the plurality of beams, a first narrowband-wavelength beam corresponding to a first desired pixel wavelength and a second narrowband-wavelength beam corresponding to a second desired pixel wavelength; (e) displaying the first narrowband-wavelength beam at a first pixel on a display surface during a first frame; and (f) displaying the second narrowband-wavelength beam at the first pixel on the display surface during the first frame.
