Projection System or viewing images

The invention concerns a system for projecting or displaying images comprising an imaging device (17) and means for illuminating the imaging device comprising a light source (11), means (12) for reflecting the light beam derived from the source towards the imaging device and an integrator (13, 20, 21), consisting of a light pipe followed by means to reflect towards the imaging device virtual illumination sources when the light beam is reflected inside the light pipe with, following the means (14) for reflecting towards the imaging device virtual illumination sources, polarisation splitting means (15), the means reflecting the virtual illumination sources imaging said virtual sources on the polarisation splitting means (15). The invention is in particular applicable to LCD imaging devices.
