  • Patent number: 7543945
    Abstract: A projection display includes three illumination units to emit red, green, and blue beams, at least one optical modulator to modulate the red, green, and blue beams to be suitable for image data, and projection optics to magnify and project the light beams emitted from the at least one optical modulator. Each of the illumination units includes: a collimator including a parabolic first reflective surface; a compact light source located at a focal point of the first reflective surface; a polarizer that transforms a light beam emitted from the collimator into a P- or S-polarized beam; and an integrator that transforms the light beam emitted from the polarizer to be emitted at a uniform intensity of light.

  • Patent number: 7097309
    Abstract: A projection system including a lighting system, a screen, a color filter separating light emitted from the lighting system according to wavelengths of the light, a first reflecting mirror reflecting the light passing through the color filter to change a path of the light, a display device provided in a predetermined position in the first reflecting mirror, a second reflecting mirror reflecting light reflected from the first reflecting mirror toward the display device, and a projection lens unit enlarging and projecting a color image formed by the display device onto the screen.

  • Patent number: 7059731
    Abstract: A compact light source module includes a compact light source and a collimator that includes a parabolic first reflective surface to reduce a radiation angle at which a light beam radiates from the compact light source, so as to emit the light beam through a side aperture and a plane second reflective surface which is located under the first reflective surface and comprises an incident portion through which the light beam radiates from the compact light source. The compact light source is located in the vicinity of a focal point of the first reflective surface.

  • Patent number: 7040767
    Abstract: A projection display includes three integrator modules which emit red, green, and blue beams, respectively. The integrator modules include at least one compact light source and a glass rod that transforms a light beam emitted from the at least one compact light source so as to have a uniform light intensity and emits a modulated light beam. The glass rod includes an incident portion through which the light beam radiates, and an emission portion through which the light beam is emitted. The incident portion includes a parabolic first reflective surface to collimate the light beam radiating from the at least one compact light source, and the at least one compact light source is located in the vicinity of a focal point of the first reflective surface.

  • Publication number: 20050088624
    Abstract: A projection display includes one or more reflective optical modulators and one or more illumination units which illuminate the one or more reflective optical modulators. Each of the one or more illumination units includes at least one collimator which includes a first reflective surface that is parabolic and reflects a light beam radiating from a lower portion toward a side portion, at least one compact light source which is located at a vicinity of a focus of the first reflective surface and sequentially radiates light beams toward the first reflective surface, at least one integrator which transforms light beams to have uniform intensities, and a polarization transformer which is located between the collimator and the integrator and transforms a light beam into one of first and second polarized beams.
