Abstract

A high efficiency, high performance full color projection system. The system includes a one-to-one relay and a refractive projection lens system. The one-to-one relay combines the outputs from two different spectral image sources, such as blue and red image sources. The refractive projection lens further combines the output from a third spectral image source, such as a green image source, with the combined images from the other two image sources relayed through the one-to-one relay to produce a single output. The one-to-one relay includes three modules, a spherical primary module, a spherical secondary module and a spectral combining module. The refractive projection lens system includes a beam combiner and a projection optics.
