摘要:
The present invention provides a color projector utilizing three liquid crystal display elements. The natural light is separated into illuminating rays of red, green and blue colors by a dichroic mirror, each of these illuminating rays being used to illuminate the corresponding one of the liquid crystal display elements. Each of the liquid crystal display elements is controlled by a desired image signal with respect to its transmittance at each pixel. After passed through the liquid crystal display elements, three kinds of colored illuminating rays are again synthesized by the other dichroic mirror to form a light beam which in turn is enlarged and projected by a projecting lens on a screen. By providing light source means including means for converting the natural light into the linearly polarized beam, the illuminating rays may have their polarizing angles coincide with each other without any loss of light. As the linearly polarized beam is reflected by the mirror system, the illuminating rays of red, green and blue colors are changed with respect to their polarizing angels. Depending on the changed polarizing angles, the polarizing angle of the light rays incident on each of the liquid crystal display elements may be adjusted to remove any loss of light.

A light valve is a planar member in which liquid crystals are hermetically sealed, and allows the transmission of light in an almost parallel direction and selectively scattering undesired light. On a rear surface of the light valve is disposed a light guide tube which contains a plurality of minute apertures. Alternatively, one of the substrates which constitute the light valve may be made of a fiber plate. The fiber plate has a structure in which short optical fibers are stacked. The light guide tube or the fiber plate converges a luminous flux emitted from the light valve to improve the contrast of an image. A projection display apparatus is constituted of a light source, a light valve, either a light guide tube or a fiber plate, a lens, and a projection lens. A luminous flux emitted from either the light guide tube or the fiber plate is incident on the pupil of the projection lens by way of the lens, and the projection lens casts this luminous flux onto a screen, thus forming a projected image. The selectively scattered undesired light cannot pass through the light guide tube or file plate.

Three light fluxes are modulated by corresponding light valves so as to project a color image on a screen. An interference filter for selectively transmitting a light flux which is emitted in a direction perpendicular to a light emitting surface of the interference filter is disposed on the light-emitting portion so as to increase the intensity of light fluxes which are emitted in the forward direction. A light-flux-emitting portion of a light source and the light valve have approximately the same configuration so that the intensity of the light fluxes to be projected on the light valves is increased.

The projection-type display device has a light source emitting a parallel luminous flux, a liquid crystal light valve disposed on the luminous flux and outputs a rectangular two-dimensional image to be projected on a screen, and a projection lens magnifying the rectangular two-dimensional image output. The light source has a first concave mirror (parabolic mirror) the reflective surface of which is oriented in the direction of emission of the luminous flux, a lamp laced in front of the first concave mirror, and a second concave mirror (parabolic mirror or spherical mirror), the reflective surface of which is oriented toward the first concave mirror. In the second concave mirror is formed an aperture window, which is a rectangle of substantially similar to that of the liquid crystal light valve and emits a rectangular luminous flux. The beam from the lamp is reflected by the first concave mirror, and one or more times by the second concave mirror, becoming a parallel beam oriented in the direction of the optical axis. The parallel light beam is made into a luminous flux of rectangular cross section by the rectangular aperture window. Accordingly, luminous flux is not blocked wastefully, but serves to increase the brightness of the projected image.

In an optical head device, the distance between a light source, such as a semiconductor laser, and a condensing lens is altered along the optical axis thereof, so that the resulting spherical aberration may offset any component of spherical aberration that exists in an optical system as an inherent defect, whereby the wave-front aberration of the beam concentrated through the condensing lens is reduced. The device, therefore, includes an optical condensing system of improved aberration and condensation property.

A projection cathode ray tube has an interference filter which is disposed at a boundary between a face plate and fluorescent layers. The interference filter is designed to be thinnest at the central area of the CRT and to become gradually thicker toward the peripheral area of the CRT, so that the CRT can produce a uniformly bright image over the central and peripheral areas. The fluorescent layers include a first layer composed of small fluorescent particles and a second layer composed of large fluorescent particles. With this first fluorescent layer, light beams emitted by the second fluorescent layer can be prevented from being reflected in multiple directions, thereby minimizing halo due to such multi-direction reflection of the light beams.
