    Abstract: A system includes a red light emitting diode (LED), a blue LED, and a green LED. The system also includes a red laser, a first filter, a second filter, and a lens. The system includes a first optical path that includes the red LED, the red laser, the first filter, the second filter, and the lens, where the first filter has a filter response to transmit red light from the red laser and to reflect red light from the red LED. The system also includes a second optical path that includes the blue LED, the green LED, the second filter, and the lens, where the second filter has a filter response to transmit blue light from the blue LED, to transmit green light from the green LED, to reflect red light from the red laser, and to reflect red light from the red LED.

    Abstract: An image projection system (300, 400) uses a polarized illumination source (306) in conjunction with a linear polarizer (314) located before and a quarter-wave retarder (312) located after an imager field lens 118 along a projection optical axis (216) between a spatial light modulator reflective imager (120) and a projection lens (122). The combination serves to block illumination light (210a) reflected off the imager field lens (314) and other optics (408, 411), while passing illumination light (210c) modulated by ON-state reflector elements of the reflective imager 120. The reduction of ghost reflections and stray light improves dark state (OFF-state reflector element) contrast.

    Abstract: A projection light source has a source of laser light of a first color. A first member has first and second phosphor material segments respectively configured to emit light of second and third colors when illuminated by the laser light of the first color. A second member has first and second dichroic filter segments respectively configured to pass the light of the second and third colors emitted by the first and second phosphor material segments, while blocking light of the others of the first, second and third colors. Relative placements of the first and second members are synchronized to periodically align the first member with the laser light source and the second member with the first member, so that the first dichroic filter segment will pass the second color along a path at first time intervals when the second color is emitted by the first phosphor material and the second dichroic filter segment will pass the third color along at least a same portion of the path at second time intervals when the third color is emitted by the second phosphor material.

    Abstract: In described examples, a first TIR or RTIR element is arranged to introduce at least red light to a first spatial light modulator for modulation thereof, and a second TIR or RTIR element is arranged to introduce at least green light to a second spatial light modulator for modulation thereof. At least one of the first and second TIR or RTIR elements is arranged to introduce blue light to at least one of the first and second spatial light modulators, respectively, for modulation thereof: time-sequentially apart from the first spatial light modulator's modulation of the introduced red light, to an extent the blue light is so introduced to the first spatial light modulator; and time-sequentially apart from the second spatial light modulator's modulation of the introduced green light, to an extent the blue light is so introduced to the second spatial light modulator.

    Abstract: A solid state illumination system is provided for image projection. Red, green and blue light is generated using a blue laser light source and phosphor emissions. The red, green and blue light is passed by TIR or TRIR elements of red, green and blue light channels of an X-cube prism structure for separate modulation by different spatial light modulators. The modulated red, green and blue light is passed by the TIR or TRIR elements into the X-cube and combined into a combined modulated RGB image forming light stream for image formation via projection optics onto a target imaging surface.
