<p>Provided are several apparatus and methods to attenuate illumination light in a projector. Illumination light may be attenuated by directing polarized light toward a liquid crystal (LC) attenuation panel. The panel selectively modulates some, all, or none of the polarized light passing through. The light from the panel is then directed toward a polarization device. The polarization device analyzes the polarized light, and allows or denies the light to pass therethrough based on the polarization of the light.</p> |
