Ultra-wide angle liquid crystal projector system
First Claim
1. An ultra-wide angle liquid crystal projector system comprising a light source, a liquid crystal panel, a curved screen, and a projection lens for projecting in accordance with light emitted by the light source an image formed on the liquid crystal panel onto the curved screen, the projection lens having a curvature of field substantially conforming to the shape of the curved screen and having an angle of projection of at least 120 degrees, the projection lens being disposed with respect to the curved screen so that a distance along an optical axis from an exit surface of the projection lens to the curved screen is less than 3 meters.
