Abstract

We have studied several light guide concepts for light-valve projection engines. The aim of the light guide is to replace the array of lenses and mirrors in conventional transmission-type projection engines. Volume, cost and weight can be reduced, at a similar or better performance level. Results of a first prototype are discussed.
