ABSTRACT:
A projector system includes a lamp, a reflector collector optic, a light pipe, a Polarizing Beam Splitter (PBS), and an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. The light pipe has a square or octagonal entrance pupil, reflecting internal walls coated with a cold mirror coating, is tapered in shape, and has a rectangular exit pupil. The PBS converts an unpolarized beam from the exit pupil of the light pipe into a uni-polarized beam which it directs to the LCD panel.
