Abstract

A color wheel used in a projector includes X color blocks and Y filter blocks; therein, X is an integer equal to or larger than 3. The X color blocks are defined to be arranged in an annular direction by repeating (N-1) times; therein, N is an integer equal to or larger than 2. The light permeability characteristics of the X color blocks are distinct from one another. The X color blocks correspond to X light colors respectively. The X color blocks are substantially equal in area. The Y filter blocks are formed of the X color blocks. The Y filter blocks correspond to the X light colors. One of the Y filter blocks is formed by two color blocks of one of the X color blocks.
