Polarization conversion system for projection displays resistant to damage from heat and light

摘要

A polarization conversation device (PCS) wherein a series of slots are formed in a frame to orient coated glass plates with retarder elements positioned there between. The PCS components are assembled within the frame and cover plates are secured thereto in a fluid-tight manner forming a fluid tight enclosure for receiving an index-matching fluid for homogenizing the temperature at any bright spots.
