Abstract
An optical transmission system for eliminating picture element information oss during the transmission of a circular image forming light beam through a fiber optics bundle. Included in the optical transmission system is an image source which emits the image forming light beam, a first pair of cylindrical shaped mirrors adapted for amplifying the image forming light beam in a predetermined direction such that it will assume an elliptical configuration, and the fiber optics bundle which transmits the image forming light beam from the first pair of cylindrical shaped mirrors to a second pair of cylindrical shaped mirrors. The second pair of cylindrical shaped mirrors, in turn, reduce the image forming light beam to a circular configuration so as to allow for the broadcasting of the image forming light beam upon a reflective display screen such that a visual image is formed upon the reflective display screen. Breakage of one or more fibers within the fiber optics bundle will not distort the visual image broadcast upon the reflective display screen since the image forming light beam was amplified by the first pair of cylindrical shaped mirrors prior to being transmitted through the fiber optics bundle.
