          Application No. 08/817,825                                                  


          light beams; and transmits the latter beams in different                    
          directions.  A liquid crystal display (“LCD”) screen features               
          a plurality of pixels.  Each pixel comprises a red sub-pixel,               
          a blue sub-pixel, and a green sub-pixel.  A chromatic                       
          modulator, positioned between the light source and the LCD                  
          screen, is tuned to a predetermined wavelength so as to                     
          transmit a predetermined portion of light energy that it                    
          receives at the predetermined wavelength to the LCD screen.                 


               Claim 10, which is representative for present purposes,                
          follows:                                                                    
                    10. An illumination system for an electrooptic                    
               colour display screen, comprising:                                     
                    a polychrome light source;                                        
                    a spatio-chromatic separation system receiving a                  
               polychrome light beam coming from said polychrome                      
               light source and transmitting a plurality of                           
               illuminating light beams having different wavelength                   
               ranges and in different directions;                                    
                    an electrooptic display screen having a                           
               plurality of image elements, each one of said                          
               plurality of image elements having a plurality of                      
               display elements; and                                                  
                    at least one chromatic modulation device                          
               provided between said polychrome light source and                      
               said display screen, said at least one chromatic
