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-Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
