Abstract

See full text

A flat panel liquid crystal display module (34) has its front face adjacent a rear projection screen (40) and is illuminated by a pre-polarized collimated light source (10,14,16,18,22,26). Collimation is provided by either a Fresnel lens or a projection lens having a long focal length. The characteristics of the projection screen (40) provide narrowed vertical viewing angle and a fiber optic face plate (38) between the liquid crystal module (34) and the screen (40) provides sunlight rejection. The arrangement has greatly improved display brightness, with only minimal changes in contrast and color as viewing angle changes.
