Image projection system

The invention relates to an image projection system comprising an illumination system with a light source for supplying an illumination beam, a modulaton system with at least one reflecting image display panel for modulating this light beam in conformity with image information to be projected, and a projection lens system for projecting said image information, a color-separating system being arranged between the modulation system and the illumination system, and a polarizing beam splitter being arranged between the illumination system and the color-separating system. The present invention relates to an image projection system (). The system () comprises an illumination system () with a light source () for supplying an illumination beam. The system () also comprises a modulation system () with at least one reflecting image display panel () for modulating this light beam in conformity with image information to be projected, and a projection lens system () for projecting this image information. A color-separating system () is arranged between the modulation system () and the illumination system (), and a polarizing beam splitter () is arranged between the color-separating system () and the illumination system. The reflective display panel is a liquid crystalline display panel of the diffusing type, and a /4 plate () is arranged between the reflective portions of the pixels of the display panel and the polarizing beam splitter.
