A polarization device comprising: a light path; a micro lens array disposed in the light path for separating light into a plurality of individual beams of light; a polarization filter disposed in the light path to receive a plurality of the beams of light and to transmit the received light of a desired polarization state and reflect the received light of a perpendicular polarization state that is perpendicular to the desired polarization state; and a reflecting polarization converter disposed to receive and reflect the reflected light of the perpendicular polarization state and to convert the perpendicular polarization state to the desired polarization state.
