Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a bright image by arranging dichroic mirrors serially so that respective color beams are projected and separated in the same direction, converging respective color beams by a condenser lens, radiating the converged light to the faces of light valves, composing an image from the modulated color beams through a queue prism, and projecting the composed image. CONSTITUTION:White light projected from a projecting light source 1 such as a halogen lamp is made incident upon the color separating dichroic mirrors arranged serially and inclined from the incident light by 45 deg. and separated into respective color beams by a blue separating mirror 2, a green separating mirror 3 and a red separating mirror 4. A mirror 11 bends light beams projecting red beams and blue beams to the light valves by 90 deg.. The red, green and blue light valves control the quantity of light transmission by electric signals of images corresponding to respective colors and respective color beams are composed to an image by the queue prism 12.

Conventionally, projection-type color display devices using multiple liquid crystal light valves were developed by '86 Digest P375 to P3 from S.
As described in 78, a gicchroic mirror system that combines white light in a cross shape separates it into the three primary colors of red, green, and blue, and then image-modulates the color light with a liquid crystal light valve to generate each color light. There was one that combined the images using a dichroic prism and projected them using a projection lens.
