Patent ID: 8054529

Claim:
A display system comprising: a light source configured to produce a light with desired spectral characteristics; a color filter optically coupled to the light source, the color filter configured to filter light provided by the light source to produce light of desired wavelengths; and an array of light modulators optically coupled to the color filter, the array of light modulators configured to simultaneously display multiple images onto a display plane, wherein the light source provides light used to display each image, wherein the array of light modulators comprises a first subset of micromirror elements and a second subset of micromirror elements, alternating adjacent rows, columns, or diagonals of the array of light modulators belong to different subsets, each micromirror element configured to rotate about an axis parallel with a plane of the array of light modulators, and wherein a first axis of rotation is common to the micromirror elements of the first subset and is not parallel to a second axis of rotation which is common to the micromirror elements of the second subset.
