Abstract

Abstract A projection-type color display apparatus has an optical system which includes a light source. There is at least one projection lens and an optical cell, for example, an LCD, that forms a monochromatic display image. A screen is used onto which an enlarged color display image is projected. Also included is a color filter which has picture elements of two or more colors and the color filter is located separately from the electro-optical cell.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 86 words
A projection color display apparatus comprising: an optical system including a light source and at least one projection lens; an electro-optical cell for forming a monochromatic display image; a color filter having picture elements of two or more colors, said color filter located separately from said electro-optical cell with said at least one projection lens located between said color filter and the electro-optical cell; and a screen onto which an enlarged color display image can be projected; wherein said color filter is located on the screen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 86 words
A projection color display apparatus comprising: an optical system including a light source and at least one projection lens; an electro-optical cell for forming a monochromatic display image; a color filter having picture elements of two or more colors, said color filter located separately from said electro-optical cell with said at least one projection lens located between said color filter and the electro-optical cell; and a screen onto which an enlarged color display image can be projected; wherein said color filter is located on the screen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The projection apparatus according to claim 1, wherein there is a reflecting mirror between said at least one projection lens and a screen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 98 words
A projection-type color display apparatus comprising: an optical system containing a light source and at least one projection lens; an electro-optical cell that forms a monochromatic display image; a color filter having picture elements of two or more colors; and a screen onto which an enlarged color display image is projected; wherein said projection lens is disposed between the electro-optical cell and the color filter so that a monochromatic display image formed by the electro-optical cell is enlarged via the projection lens and projected substantially onto the color filter wherein said color filter is located on the screen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 98 words
A projection-type color display apparatus comprising: an optical system containing a light source and at least one projection lens; an electro-optical cell that forms a monochromatic display image; a color filter having picture elements of two or more colors; and a screen onto which an enlarged color display image is projected; wherein said projection lens is disposed between the electro-optical cell and the color filter so that a monochromatic display image formed by the electro-optical cell is enlarged via the projection lens and projected substantially onto the color filter wherein said color filter is located on the screen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 20 words
The projection apparatus according to claim 3, wherein there is a reflecting mirror between the projection lens and the screen.
