ABSTRACT:
A projector has a shortened optical path from a light valve to a screen and a reduction in the depth size of its system and requires less space to mount. Rays of light emitted from a light valve of the projects are refracted by a converging lens and reflected by a plane mirror to converge at the primary focal point of an elliptical mirror, and then travel toward the secondary focal point whereat the focal point of a parabolic mirror also exists and a projection lens is disposed. The light rays pass through the projection lens, are reflected by the parabolic mirror and then are brought to a parallel beam of light that is further collected by a Fresnel lens to finally form an image on a lenticular lens-screen.
