Patent ID: 7436568

Claim:
An image processing system comprising: at least one light source; a collimator placed so as to receive and collimate light from said light source; an optical polarizer placed so as to receive and polarize light from the said collimator thereby operable for producing a first polarized light beam; a video signal source; at least one multi-pixel electro-optical modulator placed so as to receive said first polarized light beam, and operable for modulating said first polarized light beam responsively to said video signal and producing a first modulated light beam; at least one focusing lens placed so as to receive and focus said modulated light beam from said at least one electro-optical modulator further comprising a beam splitter interposed between said polarizer and said at least one electro optical modulator so as to pass a portion of said polarized beam and reflect a portion of said polarized beam, the reflected polarized beam making a second polarized beam; and further comprising a reflector to reflect said second polarized beam onto a second electro-optical modulator, and wherein said second optical modulator is connected to said video signal source and is responsive thereto and thereby operable for producing a second modulated beam; further comprising a second focusing lens placed so as to receive and focus said second modulated beam.
