Filed:
May 15, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/121185
Inventors:
Barry D. Silverstein - Rochester NY, US
Gary E. Nothhard - Hilton NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G03B 21/00
US Classification:
353 31, 353 30, 353 32, 353 33, 353 34, 353 37, 353 38, 353 81, 353 94, 353 98, 353 99, 353119, 372 501, 372 50121, 372 5011, 372 5012, 372108, 372 34, 372 35, 372 36, 359629, 359634, 359636, 359637, 359638, 359639, 359640, 349 7, 349 8, 349 9
Abstract:
A digital image projector includes a light assembly configured to project light along a light path from at least one laser array light source, the projected light having an overlapping far field illumination in a far field illumination portion of the light path; a temporally varying optical phase shifting device configured to be in the light path; an optical integrator configured to be in the light path; a spatial light modulator located downstream of the temporally varying optical phase shifting device and the optical integrator in the light path, the spatial light modulator configured to be located in the far field illumination portion of the light path; and projection optics located downstream of the spatial light modulator in the light path, the projection optics configured to direct substantially speckle free light from the spatial light modulator toward a display surface.

Etendue Maintaining Polarization Switching System And Related Methods

View page
US Patent:
8016422, Sep 13, 2011
Filed:
Oct 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/259307
Inventors:
Barry D. Silverstein - Rochester NY, US
Joseph R. Bietry - Rochester NY, US
Robert Metzger - Fairport NY, US
Gary E. Nothhard - Hilton NY, US
Richard P. Corey - Rush NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G03B 21/14
US Classification:
353 20
Abstract:
Etendue maintaining polarization switching occurs, according to various embodiments, with a mirror that quickly transitions between two positions. Light having uniform polarization is transmitted to the mirror. Light reflected off of the mirror in one of the two positions has its polarization changed, whereas light reflected off of the mirror in the other of the two positions has its polarization maintained. Thereafter, the polarization-changed light and the polarization-maintained light easily may be recombined in an entendue-maintaining manner. Because the recombined light includes two different polarization states, stereoscopic images may be generated.

International Classification:
G03B 21/00
G03B 21/14
US Classification:
353 38, 353 69, 353122
Abstract:
In a coherent light projection system including an image forming system, a relay system, a speckle reduction element, and a projection subsystem, the relay system can have a first f-number, and the projection subsystem can have a second f-number less than the first f-number. The relay system can have a first working distance, and the projection subsystem can have a second working distance less than the first working distance. The image forming system can project an initial image having a first size, and an intermediate image can have a second size greater than or equal to the first size. The speckle reduction element can have a curved surface through which the intermediate image is transferred. The speckle reduction element can include a lenslet arrangement formed on a surface thereof. The speckle reduction element can be moved in a direction parallel to an optical axis of the speckle reduction element.

Projection Display Using A Wire Grid Polarization Beamsplitter With Compensator

US Patent:
20030227597, Dec 11, 2003
Filed:
Jun 5, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/163228
Inventors:
Barry Silverstein - Rochester NY, US
Gary Nothhard - Rochester NY, US
Andrew Kurtz - Rochester NY, US
Xiang-Dong Mi - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company
International Classification:
G03B021/14
US Classification:
353/020000
Abstract:
A display apparatus () including a light source () for forming a beam of light (). A pre-polarizer () polarizes the beam of light () to provide a polarized beam of light. A wire grid polarization beamsplitter () receives the polarized beam of light and transmits the polarized beam of light which has a first polarization, and reflects the polarized beam of light which has a second polarization. A reflective spatial light modulator () selectively modulates the polarized beam of light that has a first polarization to encode image data thereon in order to form a modulated beam () and reflects the modulated beam back to the wire grid polarization beamsplitter (). A compensator () is located between the wire grid polarization beamsplitter () and the reflective spatial light modulator () for conditioning oblique and skew rays of the modulated beam (). The wire grid polarization beamsplitter () reflects the compensated modulated beam () and the wire gird polarization beamsplitter () is rotated in plane to optimize the contrast. A polarization analyzer () removes residual light of the opposite polarization state from the compensated modulated beam (). Image-forming optics () form an image from the compensated modulated beam ().
