Real imaging system with reduced ghost imaging
First Claim
1. A real image display system comprising:
- a) a real imaging system for projecting a real image, said imaging system incorporating curved reflectors, at least one of which comprises an aspheric surface of revolution; and
b) a circular polarizing window or a neutral density filter window.

Abstract
A real image display system includes a primary image source for projecting a primary image from the start of a primary light path to an end of the primary light path at which the primary image is viewable, two reflectors positioned in the primary light path between the primary image source and the projected real image, a circular polarizer for circularly polarizing a light beam positioned in the primary light path between the mirror and real image, whereby outside light entering the system is substantially blocked before exiting the system, thereby substantially eliminating ghost image formation caused by outside light sources.

8. A real image projection system, comprising:
-
a) a visual staging station defining a space for viewing images from a vantage point along a viewing axis;
b) at least two curved optics of the conical family of curves, at least one of said optics comprising an aspherical surface of revolution, wherein said curved optics are arranged such that an object positioned substantially at or near a focal point of one of said curved optics forms a real image positioned substantially at or near a focal point of another of said curved optics, and said real image is projected along said viewing axis and appears as a floating image when viewed from said visual staging station; and
c) a circular polarizing window or a neutral density filter window. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A real image projection system, comprising:
-
a) at least one curved reflector for projecting a real image, said reflector being positioned in a tilted configuration, wherein an optical axis of said reflector is not coincident with a viewing axis, and a beampath between a target source and said curved reflector neither passes through nor reflects off of a beamsplitter; and
b) a circular polarizing window or a neutral density filter window. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
