SCROLLING COLOR PROJECTION SYSTEM INCORPORATING ELECTRO-OPTIC LIGHT MODULATOR AND ROTATING LIGHT-REFLECTIVE ELEMENT

摘要

A method for color projection is provided in which light is generated from a light source and converted into a plurality of mutually different color bands including at least a first color, a second color, and a third color by directing the light from the light source onto at least three surface segments of a rotationally-symmetric element having an axis of rotation. By rotating the rotationally-symmetric element about the axis of rotation, the plurality of mutually different color bands are scrolled across a display- image-producing electro-optical light modulator panel such that at least three of the mutually different color bands including at least the first, second, and third colors are scrolling across the electro-optical light modulator panel at the same time.
