  • Optical device for splitting an incident light into simultaneously spectrally separated and orthogonally polarized light beams having complementary primary color bands
    Publication number: 20070146880
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical device for splitting incident unpolarized white light into simultaneously spectrally separated and orthogonally polarized light beams having complementary primary color bands by using interference filters for primary color bands such as the Infitec filters. The optical device embodying the present invention can be used in, for example, illumination systems for passive stereoscopic 3D display systems. When used in the stereoscopic 3D display system, the present invention provides a high degree of spectral and polarization separation of the individual stereoscopic images and the increased efficiency in use of illumination light compared to the conventional stereoscopic projection systems.
