Liquid crystal color shutters that include reflective polarizers that pass color components of light of a first polarization and that reflect a majority of color components of light of a second polarization

摘要

Color shutters that include reflecting linear polarizers can be used in projection display applications. The reflecting linear polarizers are used to reflect the light that would have been absorbed by prior art color shutters. The use of reflecting linear polarizers can resolve overheating and degradation problems of prior art system and projection display systems using sequential color operation can be built and operate reliably.
