Abstract

See full text

A display includes a solid state light device and a spatial light modulator in optical communication with the solid state light device. The solid state light device includes an array of solid state radiation sources to generate radiation, where each solid state radiation source includes a controllable radiation output. The solid state light device further includes an array of optical concentrators, where each optical concentrator receives radiation from a corresponding one of the array of solid state radiation sources. The solid state light device further includes a plurality of optical fibers, where each of the plurality of optical fibers includes an input end that receives concentrated radiation from a corresponding optical concentrator. The spatial light modulator includes a plurality of controllable elements operable to modulate light from the solid state light device. The display can be used in a variety of applications.
