An image display system comprises a first liquid crystal projector which
projects a counterclockwise-rotating, circularly polarized light beam to
form an image containing specific visual information on a screen and a
second liquid crystal projector which projects a clockwise-rotating,
circularly polarized light beam to form a white image on the same screen.
When viewed with the naked eye, a combination of the two images projected
on the screen appears totally white. A viewer wearing a dedicated viewing
device equipped with an optical filter which allows
counterclockwise-rotating, circularly polarized light to pass through can
selectively see the image projected by the first liquid crystal
projector.
