  • Laser projection illumination system
    Patent number: 11067885
    Abstract: A light beam projecting arrangement including a first cluster of light sources arranged to provide a first cluster of light beams having a first etendue and a second cluster of light sources arranged to provide a second cluster of light beams having a second etendue, and means for changing the direction of the first cluster and/or the second cluster of light beams. The light sources are arranged so that the total etendue of the first cluster of light beams is substantially equal to the etendue of the second cluster of light beams; and where the means for changing the direction are arranged so that the clusters of light beams are brought into a combined cluster light beam having substantially the same etendue as the larger one of the first etendue and the second etendue.

  • Projector with improved contrast
    Patent number: 11061310
    Abstract: A projector, including a light modulation module including at least one light modulator illuminated by light of at least two primary colours, light of each primary colour having at least two wavelengths or wavelength ranges, where the optical power emitted at a wavelength or wavelength range associated with a lower contrast of a projected image is lower than the optical power emitted at a wavelength associated with a higher contrast of the projected image.
