Abstract: A viewing device is disclosed. The device includes a projector that projects a first imaged light, and a polarizing beam splitter plate that receives the projected first imaged light from the projector and reflects the received first imaged light for viewing by a viewer. The polarizing beam splitter plate also receives a second image and transmits the second image for viewing by the viewer. The polarizing beam splitter plate includes a substrate and a multilayer optical film reflective polarizer that is adhered to the substrate. The reflective polarizer substantially reflects polarized light having a first polarization state and substantially transmits polarized light having a second polarization state perpendicular to the first polarization state. The polarizing beam splitter plate includes a first outermost major surface and an opposing second outermost major surface that makes an angle of less than about 20 degrees with the first outermost major surface. The polarizing beam splitter plate reflects the received first imaged light towards the viewer with the reflected first imaged light having an effective pixel resolution of less than 12 microns.

The polarizing beam splitter plate includes a first outermost major surface and an opposing second outermost major surface that makes an angle of less than about 20 degrees with the first outermost major surface. By enhancing the flatness of the polarizer, the resolution can be improved. The polarizing beam splitter plate reflects the received first imaged light towards the viewer with the reflected first imaged light having an effective pixel resolution of less than 12 microns.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种观赏装置。 该装置包括投影第一成像光的投影仪和接收来自投影仪的投影的第一成像光的偏振分束板，并且反射所接收的第一成像光以供观看者观看。 偏振分束板还接收第二图像并发送第二图像以供观看者观看。 偏振分束板包括基板和粘附到基板的多层光学膜反射偏振器。 反射偏振器基本上反射具有第一偏振态的偏振光，并且基本上透射具有垂直于第一偏振态的第二偏振态的偏振光。 偏振分束板包括第一最外主表面和相对的第二最外主表面，其与第一最外主表面成小于约20度的角度。 通过提高偏振片的平坦度，可以提高分辨率。 偏振分光板将接收到的第一成像光朝向观察者反射，其中反射的第一成像光具有小于12微米的有效像素分辨率。
