摘要： Described are illumination systems for providing visible images. The systems include a first image projection sub-system operable to provide a first stereo-image output formed by light having a first polarization; a second image projection sub-system operable to provide a second stereo-image output formed by light having a second polarization; a projection means wherein the projection means projects the first and second stereo-image outputs onto a display through a common lens; wherein the system is operable to provide orthogonal first polarization and second polarization. Typically, the first and second image outputs are formed from light having orthogonal polarizations and the system is preferably switchable between providing orthogonal and non-orthogonal first and second images. In preferred embodiments the system is operable to provide nonstereo images while providing increased resolution. Preferred systems include a common light source and a common projection lens. Some systems include digital micromirror devices and liquid crystal on silicon technologies. Related methods of providing visible images are also disclosed.
