Projection display system for reflective light valves
First Claim
1. A projection display system for reflective light valves comprising:
- a light source for generating a light beam having red-green-blue (RGB) light components;
a projection system having two polarizing beam splitters and two dichroic filters therein, wherein each polarizing beam splitter and dichroic filter reflects a preselected light component and transmits a different preselected light component, and a LCD panel for generating a light-component-specific image associated with each light component; and
a projection lens for projecting an image combined from the light-component-specific images from the LCDs;
wherein each light-component-specific image interacts with one and only one polarizing beam splitter and interacts with one and only one dichroic filter between the LCD and the projection lens.

Abstract
A projection display system for reflective light valves includes a light source for generating a light beam having RGB light components, wherein the red light component is p-polarized and the green and blue light components are s-polarized; a reflector structure having plural polarizing beam splitter and dichroic filters therein, wherein each PBS and DF reflects a preselected light component and transmits a different preselected light component, and a LCD panel for generating a light-component-specific image associated with each light component; and a projection lens for projecting an image combined from the light-component-specific images from the LCDs; wherein a light-component-specific image passes through one and only one PBS and through one and only one DF between the LCD and the projection lens.

a light source for generating a light beam having red-green-blue (RGB) light components, wherein the red light component is p-polarized and the green and blue light components are s-polarized; a projection system having plural polarizing beam splitter and dichroic filters therein, wherein each polarizing beam splitter and dichroic filter reflects a preselected light component and transmits a different preselected light component, and a LCD panel for generating a light-component-specific image associated with each light component, wherein said polarizing beam splitters and said dichroic filters are arranged in a substantially "X" shaped configuration, wherein said dichroic filters are normal to said polarizing beam splitters and arranged to intersect adjacent an edge thereof; and a projection lens for projecting an image combined from the light-component-specific images from the LCDs;
wherein each light-component-specific image interacts with one and only one polarizing beam splitter and interacts with one and only one dichroic filter between the LCD and the projection lens. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
