          Appeal No. 2003-1551                                                        
          Application No. 09/550,713                                                  
               The disclosed invention pertains to a method and                       
          apparatus for use in a projection-display system.                           
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
               1. In a projection-display system for receiving a first                
          light beam embodying a first image from a video device and for              
          enlarging said image to a second image to be embodied in a second           
          light beam adapted for projection onto a screen, said system                
          comprising:                                                                 
               a polarized beam splitter (PBS) for separating the first               
          light beam into a reflected S polarized light wave and a                    
          transmitted P polarized light wave;                                         
               a delay means for creating a half wavelength delay between             
          the reflected S polarized light wave and the transmitted P                  
          polarized light wave;                                                       
               a direction-modifying means for changing the direction of              
          the transmitted P polarized light wave in such manner that it               
          becomes parallel to, and travel in the same direction as, the               
          reflected S polarized light wave; and                                       
               a condenser for condensing the reflected S polarized light             
          wave and the transmitted P polarized light wave;                            



                                         -2-
