Single reflective light valve projection device

Abstract

A single reflective light valve projection device comprising a non-telecentric lighting system, a projection lens and a reflective light valve is provided. The non-telecentric lighting system comprises a light source and a lens. The light source provides a light beam. The lens is disposed in the transmission path of the light beam. The projection lens is disposed behind the lens and in the transmission path of the light beam. The reflective light valve is disposed between the lens of the non-telecentric lighting system and the projection lens and in the transmission path of the light beam. The reflective light valve comprises many horizontally aligned rows of pixels. A line joining the center of the projection lens to the center of the lens forms an angle smaller than π/4 with respect to a horizontal line to provide side projection in the horizontal direction.
