Abstract
Disclosed is an image projector wherein the illumination of an LCD matrix screen is done by means of two polarized beams coming from a same light beam that has no particular direction of polarization. The two polarized beams are obtained by a polarization separator whence these two polarized beams emerge with a square section. On the one hand, each polarized beam goes through at least two juxtaposed convergent lenses by which it is converted into two sub-beams which project their illumination spot on the matrix screen and, on the other hand, each convergent lens has a surface with a shape that is homothetic with the shape of the matrix screen. The luminous efficiency is thus improved through the matching of the shape of the section of the non-polarized light beam with that of the matrix screen.
