I think this particular set was discussed here on AK a couple years back. Not quite sure what to use in the search field to locate the thread.

If you want ot go back to the New York 64-65 fair, here are some links:

Hmm if you look at their 1st catalog for this set there, it shows the b/w monitor, then the 3 color filters stacked on top of it, with the 2 lcd shutters layered between the filters. I don't get how this works - the filters are all stacked so the light has to go thru ALL of them? How the heck do you just get red, or just blue? (with a wheel, it only has to go thru one color at a time). How do the shutters work, obviously they can't shut light off completely, or just the first shutter would result in no picture. Are the shutters divided into pixels, or is it just a solid pane shutter that goes from clear to black? Can anybody explain how this thing works? thanks...Frenchy |

I remember seeing this set before as well. There was discussion on this, or a similar set, back in 2001 on the ARF site. The photos are gone now though. http://antiqueradios.com/forums/Forum6/HTML/000068.html

Have seen many of the 3 LCD projectors (by Sharp) that use an LCD light valve for each color and prisms to combine the RGB to one beam. The light valve is dark untill a pixel or pixels are excited then it goes clear to let light thru. They use an arc lamp as the light source.

I suspect the 3 color filters are not plain red,green blue, but are polarized somehow - one LCD then switches transmissions between red and cyan, and the other between blue and yellow.
Red+yellow --> red cyan+yellow--> green cyan+blue--> blue red+blue - not useful - black or nearly so |

You are correct that if there are stacked filter sheets that always look red, green, and blue, then no light can be transmitted! So, obviously, the drawing and explanation must be confused and misleading. You can find an example of the kind of LCD shutters I described here:

The last tech paper in your list has a graphic that looks similar to theirs, two shutters sandwiched between color layers.... sort of.

I'm the one who posted about this set a few years back here and on antiqueradios.com. I still have it and it is in working condition, but is missing the knobs, the two woodgrain escutcheons, and the red Mitsubishi light-up logo below the channel selector knob. The picture shown at the top of the thread is a smaller version of the set I have; I guess the "viewing window" was widened a bit soone could view the set slightly off axis. This set uses series-string vacuum tubes; the chassis sits vertically on the right-hand side. The three CRTs have red, green, and blue phosphors; no color filters are used. Like someone just said, it produces a bright picture, and I'll add to that a Technicolor-like vividness to the color. The downside is the small (5-6") picture; but Mitsubishi provided a plastic Fresnel lens to mount in front of the window as a magnifier. The set appears to have been made in 1964 since many parts in the set have a 1964 date code. I doubt these were ever sold in the US in great number as the tricolor CRTs had already existed for years, and the trinescope, at least to me, appears to be a bit Rube Goldberg-ish in comparison.

I just picked up the flyer handed out at the NYWF for the Mitsu trinescope.

Dang! Interesting set, but it does - in a way look like a furnace.
