ABSTRACT:
A projection beam supplied by a projector is incident on a beam splitter in the form of a cholesteric filter. The cholesteric filter reflects circularly polarized radiation having a wavelength which corresponds to the pitch of the molecular helix and having a direction of rotation which corresponds to the direction of the molecular helix to a reflector. The circular direction of polarization reflected by the cholesteric filter is inverted on the reflector so that the beam is subsequently passed to the screen by the cholesteric filter.
