A high performance color management architecture is presented for the projection of liquid crystal on silicon microdisplays. Based on ColorLink's ColorSelect™ polarization filter technology, and used in conjunction with polarizing beamsplitters, the system gives excellent performance with black to white contrast >500, transmission >50% and standard primary color coordinates at f/2.5. Low cost polarizing beamsplitters can be used without significant performance degradation placing this ColorQuad™ architecture in the forefront of future three panel projection systems.
