LCD Shutter Replacing Color Wheel in Projection Systems?
Hi:
Has any one seen commercial implementations of using LCD shutter to replace the mechanical color-wheel in projection engines based on sequential color? Are any manufacturers going this route? I've read some papers about their use but haven't seen any offerings. Any ideas? Thanks! Derek |

I've read some papers about their use but haven't seen any offerings. One fundamental problem is that you lose 2/3rds (approx) of the light that way due to the other color pixels not be transmitting. --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Mirror: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Note: These links are hopefully temporary until we can sort out the excessive traffic on Repairfaq.org.

Derek I've never heard of it being done, LCDs are notoriously slow, and they block a fair portion of the light even when active. Color wheels are effective and established technology, the next step up from that is 3 panels. |

There are a new breed of LCDs based on ferroelectric. They are much
faster and may do the trick. |

Hi Sam:
Could you elaborate on your comment about the 2/3rds loss? What about a device like this? http://www.colorlink.com/products/pdfs/select.pdf Which alters polarization and is not an absorbtive shutter? Derek |
