Abstract
Disclosed are optical projection lenses for projecting three dimensional images. Exemplary lenses comprise a chassis, first and second sets of offset truncated optical elements and first and second polarizers respectively disposed in light paths of the first and second sets of optical elements. An optional hot mirror may be disposed between the polarizers and the sets of optical elements. Preferably, an aperture plate is disposed at an output end of the chassis. The aperture plate may comprise upper and lower adjustable masking strips that are adjustable up and down to allow masking of an image for a particular throw. The lenses comprise focus adjustment apparatus for adjusting the relative focus of the sets of optical elements, and convergence adjustment apparatus for adjusting the convergence of the sets of optical elements.
