ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for color illumination for an image display system includes field sequentially operating an array of emitters to generate a sequence of light beams. Each light beam includes one color. A first light beam of a first color is combined with a second light beam of a second color. The first and second light beams are combined in an optical path to travel concurrently. The combination of the first and second light beams results in a composite color coordinate. The combination of the first and second light beams are directed at a spatial light modulator operable to receive the combination and produce a desired color on a display.
