  • Patent number: 6793341
    Abstract: A projection system configured to project a stereographic image onto a viewing surface is provided. The projection system includes a light source configured to produce a beam of light, a beam splitter configured to split the beam of light into a right image beam and a left image beam, an image engine configured to produce the stereographic image, and a projection lens configured to project a left-eye image and a right-eye image onto the viewing surface. The image engine includes a left optical path configured to produce the left-eye image from the left image beam, the left optical path including an upstream left polarizer, a left image-producing element and a downstream left polarizer, and a right optical path configured to produce the right-eye image from the right image beam, the right optical path including an upstream right polarizer, a right image-producing element and a downstream right polarizer.
