Claim One:
1. An imaging system for displaying colour images, the imaging system comprising an illumination source for generating an illumination beam, an illumination splitting means and a plurality of image modulators, wherein the illumination splitting means comprises: a dynamic selecting means adapted for receiving at least one illumination beam and subsequently generating different sets of primary colour sub-beams from the at least one illumination beam a static selecting means adapted for receiving at least one illumination beam and splitting the at least one illumination beam in different sets of primary colour sub-beams from the at least one illumination beam, wherein, for generating a single colour image, the dynamic selecting means and the static selecting means are adapted for cooperating such that subsequently generated different sets of primary colour sub-beams generated by the dynamic selecting means are directed to the static selecting means where primary colour sub-beams of each of said subsequently generated different sets are directed by the static selecting means to the plurality of image modulators for modulating each of the directed primary colour sub-beams from said sets for generating the single colour image to be imaged or such that different sets of primary colour sub-beams generated by the static selecting means are directed to the dynamic selecting means where they are used to generate subsequently generated further sets of primary colour sub-beams and directed to the plurality of image modulators for modulating each of the directed primary colour sub-beams from said further sets for generating the single colour image to be imaged.
