Optical projection system and image display device having the same
First Claim
1. An optical projection system to enlarge an image in an image display device, the optical projection system comprising:
- a series of lenses and reflectors to refract light beams of an image by converging and diverging the light beams of the image and by bending the light beams of the image, respectively; and
a polynomial reflector to receive the image from the series of lenses and reflectors, to compensate for distortion introduced by the series of lenses and reflectors, to enlarge the image, and to project the enlarged image toward a screen.

Abstract
An optical projection system and an image display device having the same include a refraction part to create pincushion distortion in an image, and a reflection part to create barrel distortion in the pincushion-distorted image to compensate for the pincushion distortion and to project an enlarged image without distortion onto an image display surface. The refraction part includes a first cylinder symmetrical optic system having a first group of lenses including at least one aspheric lens, a second cylinder symmetrical optic system having a second group of lenses including at least one aspheric lens, a first planar reflecting optic system to bend the image that passes through the first cylinder symmetrical optic system by a first predetermined angle, and a second planar reflecting optic system to reflect the image that passes through the second cylinder symmetrical optic system to the reflection part. The reflection part includes a reflecting mirror inclinedly disposed at a predetermined angle and having an XY polynomial surface.

6. An optical projection system to enlarge an image in an image display device, the optical projection system comprising:
-
a refraction part to introduce a first distortion to an image received from a lighting system; and
a reflection part to receive the image from the refraction part and to introduce a second distortion to the image that compensates for the first distortion while expanding the image. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An image display device, comprising:
-
a lighting system to provide light beams;
a micro display part to modulate the light beams provided by the lighting system to create an image;
a series of lenses and reflectors to introduce a first distortion by, respectively, refracting and bending the light beams of the image received from the micro display part;
a polynomial reflector to receive the light beams of the image from the series of lenses and reflectors and to introduce a second distortion that compensates for the first distortion while expanding the image; and
a screen to receive the expanded image substantially without distortion. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of projecting an image onto a screen in an image display device with an optical projection system, the method comprising:
-
receiving an image from an image forming part;
creating pincushion distortion in the image in a refraction part; and
expanding the image while compensating for the pincushion distortion by creating a barrel distortion in the pincushion distorted image and projecting the expanded image toward the screen with a reflection part. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
