Patent number: 9196203Abstract: A sequential color LCD device for displaying a color image using at least four different primary colors, with back illumination system comprising of at least three color LEDs. The device is capable of activating at least two color LEDs simultaneously, thus obtaining additional display colors. A method is disclosed for displaying more than three colors using an LCD device having three color LEDs, in which the LED back illumination system sequentially illuminates the LC array with only a first single LED color, a simultaneous operation of first and second LED colors, and then only the second LED color. The device may drive the LC cells from a first color data value directly to a subsequent color data value directly, without driving the LC cell to zero transmittance prior to loading of the subsequent color data value. The device may correct for color phase shift and for the dependency of apparent color intensity.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Samsung Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shmuel Roth, Ilan Ben-David, Moshe Ben-Chorin

Patent number: 8979272Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus and system of producing a color image using four or more primary colors. The apparatus, according to some demonstrative embodiments of the invention, may include four or more transmissive spatial light modulators to modulate four or more, respective, primary color light beams in accordance with four or more, respective, primary color image components of the color image to produce four or more, respective, modulated light beams; and a beam combiner to combine the four or more modulated light beams into a combined light beam carrying the color image. The beam combiner may include, for example, an X-cube to jointly direct three of the four or more modulated light beams; and a selective color rotator to rotate the polarization of two of the three modulated light beams, while maintaining the polarization of a third one of the three modulated light beams. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Samsung Display Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shmuel Roth
