Patent Images

1. A method of displaying an image, the method comprising:

  • generating a first intensity light with a variable light source;

    illuminating a digital micromirror device with the first intensity light in a first color;

    loading image data for a first bit weight of the first color onto the digital micromirror device;

    setting the digital micromirror device based on the first bit weight of the first color to modulate the first intensity light to project onto a display plane;

    generating a second intensity light with the variable light source;

    illuminating the digital micromirror device with the second intensity light in a second color;

    loading image data for the first bit weight of the second color onto the digital micromirror device;

    setting the digital micromirror device based on the first bit weight of the second color to modulate the second intensity light to project onto the display plane;

    loading image data for a second bit weight of the first color onto the digital micromirror device;

    setting the digital micromirror device based on the second bit weight of the first color to modulate the first intensity light to project onto the display plane;

    loading image data for the second bit weight of the second color onto the digital micromirror device; and

    setting the digital micromirror device based on the second bit weight of the second color to modulate the second intensity light to project onto the display plane.
