Abstract
An image projection arrangement is disclosed, comprising a radiation source (1), an image display system having at least one image display panel (10) in which the polarisation direction of an incident beam is modulated with the image information, and a polarisation-sensitive beam splitter (2), arranged between the source and the image display system, for forming two mutually perpendicularly polarised sub-beams (b.sub.1, b.sub.2). By having the two sub-beams be modulated by the same image display system (10) and by thereafter combining these sub-beams again a very efficient use can be made of the available light without the necessity of a significant more complex design of the arrangement.
