A stereoscopic imaging apparatus (200) has an illumination source (110) providing polarized illumination beams and at least one uniformizing element (22) for uniformizing first and second illumination beams. A left channel modulation apparatus (220l) modulates the first polarized illumination beam to provide the left eye portion of the stereoscopic image and a right channel modulation apparatus (220r) modulates the second polarized illumination beam to provide the right eye portion. Each channel modulation apparatus has a color separator (78) for separating the polarized illumination beam into at least a first component wavelength illumination and a second component wavelength illumination. Each channel modulation apparatus also has at least two component wavelength modulating sections, each component wavelength modulating section being a portion of a monochrome transmissive liquid crystal modulator panel (60) that accepts a corresponding component wavelength illumination and modulates the component wavelength illumination to provide a modulated component wavelength beam. |
