Abstract:
A small reflective type liquid crystal projection device, comprising:an incident light source for providing a parallel incident light; a diffusive mirror set and a collective mirror set for converting said incident light into a linearly polarized light; a first dichroic mirror for separating said linearly polarized light into three primary color lights, which are divided into two groups to be reflected and transmitted, respectively; at least three totally reflective mirrors arranged in 3D space, with at least a pair of said totally reflective mirrors being disposed on a plane vertically offset from the other of said totally reflective mirrors, for reflecting a primary color light to a first polarizing beam splitter and reflecting the other two primary color lights to a second dichroic mirror, which projects said other two primary color lights to a second polarizing beam splitter and a third polarizing beam splitter, respectively; three reflective type liquid crystal plates respectively situated behind said first, second, and third polarizing beam splitters and used to convert the three primary color lights into lights of opposite polarization, which then pass through said polarizing beam splitters, respectively; an X-prism for combining the three primary color lights passing through said first, second, and third polarizing beam splitters into an output light beam; and a projection object lens for projecting out said output light beam.
