ABSTRACT An optical arrangement is disclosed which provides color selective prepolarization of the light incident upon two or more light valves. In the preferred embodi- ment, this is accomplished by the use of a prepolarizing prism which acts on light from a light source to direct light of a first polarization to a first dichroic separator and light of a second polarization to a second dichroic separator. Each separator transmits an output beam having substantially a single color and a single polarization state. The two resulting beams are recombined by a dichroic adder prior to being applied to a second polarizing prism. The second polarizing prism directs light of a first color and polarization to a first light valve and light of a second color and polarization to a second valve. The result is that one light valve sees light of a first color and a first polarization and the other light valve sees light of a second color and second polarization. Each light valve modulates the polarization state of incident light in accordance with the input or writing light. Where the writing light is present, the polarization state is changed from the first to the second or vice versa depending upon the light valve. The output of each light valve is applied to a second or main polarizing prism which converts the modulations of polarization into modulations of brightness. The output of the main polarizing prism is then applied to a projection lens in a conventional manner.
