Patent ID: 8794764

Claim:
A stereoscopic projection system, comprising: a relay lens subsystem operable to receive a stereoscopic image frame from an input light path and convey the stereoscopic image frame to an intermediate image plane, the stereoscopic image frame having first image area light and second image area light; a light splitting subsystem operable to receive the stereoscopic image frame at the intermediate image plane and split the first image area light from the second image area light, to direct the first image area light on a first image light path, and to direct the second image area light on a second image light path; a light combining subsystem operable to combine the first and second image area light, wherein the first image area light that is output from the light combining subsystem has a polarization state orthogonal to the second image area light; and a projection lens subsystem operable to direct the first and second image area light toward a screen, wherein one of the relay lens subsystem and the projection lens subsystem is anamorphic.
