A display apparatus comprises a projecting device for projecting an image, with the projecting device having a projection optical system having a limited pupil diameter and screen device arranged at a position where an image is substantially projected by the projecting device. The screen device has at least two sheets in each of which a number of prisms extending like a straight line or a curve are formed on the surface on the side opposite to the projecting device. Each of the prisms has an effective portion for allowing a light flux from the projecting device to be emitted in a predetermined direction and a non-effective portion which does not contribute to the emission of the light flux in the predetermined direction, and wherein the non-effective portions of another one or a plurality of the other sheets among the plurality of sheets excluding the sheet arranged at the nearest position on the projecting device side are formed so as to have an almost intermediate angle between the angle of a principal ray when a light flux from the projecting device progresses in the sheets and the emission angle of the principal ray when it is emitted from effective surfaces of the prisms of the sheets.

A liquid crystal type video projector is disclosed which has a reflection type optical modulator for effective use of beams from a radiation source such as a lamp or the like. The projector further comprises means for modulating the plane of polarization of a polarized beam entering the radiation source and for reflecting the polarized beam, thereby causing a reflection beam and an optical arrangement. The optical arrangement includes a first polarizing beam splitter for separating the beam from the radiation source into P and S polarized components and for directing the S polarized component to the modulator and a converter for rotating the plane of polarization of the P polarized component and converting into another S polarized component for enhanced efficiency of beam utilization. It further includes a second polarizing beam splitter for reflecting the other S polarized component and directing the other S polarized component and directing to the modulator. The polarizing beam splitters are caused to act as an analyzer for colored reflected beams via a dichroic mirror system.

A screen is disposed in the position at which an image is formed by an image projector. The screen comprises a transparent sheet having a longitudinal direction and a latitudinal direction, and a fresnel lens surface formed on one surface of the transparent sheet to condense a light beam entered thereinto and emit the condensed light beam, the focal length of the Fresnel lens surface in the longitudinal direction of said transparent sheet being shorter than that in the latitudinal direction of the sheet.

A method for mass-producing eccentric Fresnel lens sheets comprising the steps of: preparing a number of concentric Fresnel lens sheets; dividing the concentric Fresnel lens sheets into a first set and a second set each including a plurality of Fresnel lens sheets; cutting out a plurality of first sheets each corresponding to one portion of the eccentric Fresnel lens sheet from each of the Fresnel lens sheets of the first set; cutting out a plurality of second sheets each corresponding to the other portion of the eccentric Fresnel lens sheet from each of the Fresnel lens sheets of the second set; and bonding each of the first sheets and each of the second sheets in such a manner that patterns on the first sheet and the second sheet are continuous to prepare a plurality of eccentric Fresnel lens sheet. The second set can include a third set and a fourth set and a plurality of third sheets are cut out from the third set and a plurality of fourth sheets are cut out from the fourth set. The third sheets and fourth sheets are bonded to the first sheets. The first sheets are relatively large rectangular sheets and the second sheets are small rectangular sheets.

A liquid crystal device is constituted by disposing a display layer between a pair of electrode plates. The display layer comprises a mesomorphic polymer and a low-molecular weight mesomorphic compound. The mesomorphic polymer may preferably be a main chain-type ferroelectric mesomorphic polymer having an ester linkage or a mesomorphic polymer derived from a polymerizable mesomorphic compound. The display layer may preferably comprise a ferroelectric mesomorphic polymer having a dielectric anisotropy .DELTA..epsilon. of -3.0 or below and a low-molecular weight mesomorphic compound incompatible with the mesomorphic polymer and having a positive dielectric anisotropy.

An image display apparatus has a radiation source, generator for generating an image by modulating a polarized light beam and directing device for directing a light beam from the radiation source toward the generator. The directing device has a conversion optical system for converting the beam from the radiation source into the polarized light beam. The conversion optical system has a polarizing beam splitter for splitting the beam from the radiation source into a first and second beams. In the conversion optical system, a 1/4 wavelength plate and a mirror are arranged so that the plane of polarization of the first beam is rotated to generate a third beam with the plane of polarization same as that of the second beam. The third beam is directed toward the generator through the polarizing beam splitter while the second beam is also directed toward the generator.
