Abstract:
An LCD projector of two-plate type comprising: a light source, a color valve, a dichroic mirror, a polarization rotating device, a polarization beam splitter, a first reflective LCD panel, a second LCD panel and a projection lens, wherein said light source provides a polarized light with a first polarization direction, which is separated into a first color, a second color and a third color of light beams by said dichroic mirror, and the first color and the second color of light beams are reflected by said dichroic mirror, and the third color of light beam passes the dichroic mirror and is then reflected by said polarization rotating device so that the polarization direction of the third color of light beam is changed to a second polarization direction, the first color and the second color of light beams having a first polarization direction and the third color of light beam having a second polarization direction are incident to said polarization beam splitter, in which the third color of light beam is reflected by said first LCD panel after passing through said polarization beam splitter so that the polarization direction of the third color of light beam is changed to the first polarization direction, the third color of light beam is incident to the polarization beam splitter and reflected to said projection lens; the first color and the second color of light beams are reflected to said second LCD panel which has a modulating frequency twice that of said first LCD panel and is used to respectively modulate the first color and the second color of light beams by incorporated with said color valve in a time sequential manner, and then the first color and the second color of light beams are reflected so that the polarization direction of which becomes the second polarization direction, thereafter the first color and the second color of light beams are sequentially transmitted through said polarization beam splitter and incident to said projection lens.
