10.5: Ultra High Contrast Color Management System for Projection Displays

Abstract A high‐performance color management architecture is presented for use in 2‐ and 3‐panel LCoS projection display systems. Benefits of the proposed system include extremely high contrast at low f/−, excellent uniformity, adjustable color gamut, high reliability, and elimination of stress birefringence issues that have plagued previous color management systems for LCoS. We discuss the design and conceptual layouts of the new UltreX™ architecture and present experimental results for 2‐ and 3‐panel prototype systems.
