design, you get stable, consistent color under all viewing conditions, in addition to
high optical efficiency.
In addition, the Sony 4K projectors mount the SXRD panels into optical
engines that provide almost precisely equal length for the Red, Green and Blue
beams. This feature also helps provide consistent, natural color.
This schematic view of the Sony 4K light engine shows the three SXRD
panels and the nearly equal-length optical paths for Red, Green and Blue.
This simplified rendering shows the SXRD panels, Main PBS blocks and
the final Cross Dichroic Prism, where the three colors combine.
