Abstract

An optical system for reflective mode light valve full color display, and more particularly a compact and highly optically efficient trichroic prism assembly (TPA), and a polarizing beam splitter (PBS). This TPA and PBS combination is placed between the objective lens and the LCD panel or other kind of reflective light valves to form a compact projection system.
