Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006054254A1] A display device (100) has a time-multiplexed a light source (110, 200) including at least two light emitting diode (LED) devices (210, 220) that operate sequentially, and a light combiner (230, 630, 830) that outputs light from the LED devices (210, 220), the light having a first polarization when a first one of the LED devices (210) is turned on, and having a second polarization (220) when a second one of the LED devices is turned on; and a light modulator (122) that receives the light from the light combiner (230, 630, 830). The light modulator (122) and is driven to white when the first LED device (210) is turned on, and is driven to black when the second LED device (220) is turned on.
