Abstract: A projection apparatus (10) has an illumination section with a light source (20) providing a substantially unpolarized illumination beam of multiple wavelengths. A multiple wavelength polarizer polarizes the substantially unpolarized illumination beam to provide a substantially polarized illumination beam of multiple wavelengths. A uniformizer conditions the substantially polarized illumination beam of multiple wavelengths to provide a uniformized polarized beam of multiple wavelengths. A color scrolling element provides a repeating, scrolled sequence of colors from a set of colors, thereby providing first, second, and third component wavelength illumination. A component wavelength modulating section accepts the sequence of first, second, and third component wavelength illumination from the color scrolling element and sequentially modulates the first, second, and third component wavelength illumination at a transmissive liquid crystal modulator panel (118) to provide a modulated component wavelength beam to a lens for projection toward a display surface (40).

Abstract: A projection apparatus (10) has an illumination section (68) that provides at least a first, a second, and a third component wavelength illumination. At least two component wavelength modulating sections accept and modulate the component wavelength illumination to provide a modulated component wavelength beam. Each component wavelength modulating section has a portion of a monochrome transmissive liquid crystal modulator panel (118) that has been segmented into at least a first, a second, and a third spatially separate portion. A component wavelength polarizer directs substantially polarized light to the corresponding portion of the monochrome transmissive liquid crystal modulator panel. An illumination path Fresnel lens focuses incident illumination from the component wavelength polarizer through the corresponding portion of the monochrome transmissive liquid crystal modulator panel. An analyzer conditions the polarization of the modulated component wavelength beam. A lens forms an image of superimposed component wavelength beams for projection onto a display surface (40).

Abstract: An optical scanner (10; 30) is disclosed for scanning a light beam onto a receiving medium (22; 42). The scanner (10; 30) includes a rotatable polygon (14; 34) for receiving a light beam from a source and for scanning the beam through a predetermined angle, and optical means (16, 18, 20; 36, 38, 40) between the polygon (14; 34) and receiving medium (22; 42) for directing the beam to the receiving medium. In order to provide an optical system which produces the desired results at the image plane and is relatively simple to manufacture, two spherical lenses (16, 18; 36, 38) and a cylindrical mirror (20; 40) are interposed between the polygon (14; 34) and receiving medium (22; 42).

Abstract: The laser printer uses a rotating polygon (30) and a cylindrical mirror (44) disposed between the polygon and an image zone. The cylindrical mirror corrects for pyramidal errors in an output image formed on a moving photosensitive member (PM) disposed at the image zone by making the operative polygon facet and the image zone optionally conjugate in the page scan direction. To change the length (S1, S2) of the image in the line scan direction at the image zone, the optical distance between the polygon and image zone is varied by moving the cylindrical mirror. The velocity of the photosensitive member is adjusted to change the length of the output image in the page scan direction. At the new image format size, the cylindrical mirror makes the operative polygon facet optically conjugate with the image zone in the page scan direction to correct for pyramidal errors.

Abstract: Light collectors (10) formed by rolling one edge (18) of a sheet of transparent thermoplastic material (30) into an annular configuration, while keeping an opposite edge (12) flat suffer from light collection inefficiency caused by local stretching and thus thinning of the sheet near the annular end (18), thereby increasing the number of internal reflections experienced by a light ray. This problem is solved by making a light collector (10) that is uniform in thickness, or thicker toward the annular end (18).

Abstract: On a mis au point un système d'éclairage pour un analyseur de films, lequel comprend une source de lumière (14) ainsi qu'un instrument optique destiné à produire une ligne de lumière sur un film (44). La lumière transmise à travers le film est imagée sur des éléments de photodétection tels que des réseaux de dispositifs à couplage de charge (50, 52). Afin d'obtenir une image électronique de haute qualité, on utilise une source de lumière à xénon, des filtres de couleurs (26, 28, 30 à 32) étant inclus dans le système afin de réguler le contenu spectral de la lumière acheminée au couloir du film, et l'on utilise un cylindre d'intégration (34) afin de produire une ligne de lumière diffuse sur le film (44).
