Abstract
In this paper, a new illumination system with ultra high performance (UHP) lamp is proposed for projection display. Parabolic reflector (PR) and compound parabolic retro-reflector (CPR) were jointly used to collect and collimate the light generated from UHP lamp. A polarization converter system (PCS) was used to increase the light efficiency of the projection display system. A beam transformer between PCS and 2f imaging systems was directly used to make the illumination meet the requirement of projection display system. With the consideration of the loss of reflection, the light efficiency in this projection display system was estimated to be 15.6%.

Beam shape transforming devices in high-efficiency projection systems

TL;DR: In this article, the trade-offs between uniformity, efficiency, etendue, and compactness of beam-shape transformers are investigated in high-efficiency projectors to match round source beams to rectangular LCD targets.

LED projection displays

TL;DR: The prototype of a rear projection system has been developed by using red, green and blue (RGB) LEDs and three LCD panels and the projection engine was very small comparing to the original engine which uses an arc source.
