(54)	Image generation unit with four primary colors

(57) An image generating unit (10) is provided wherein spectral splitting functionalities, image generating functionalities and spectral recombination functionalities are essentially realized by an arrangement (10') of first and second polarization selective beam splitting device (11, PBS1; 12, PBS2), first to fourth image generating means (P1, P2, P3, P4) and a single dichroic beam splitting device (13, DBS) within a spectral splitting, image generating, and spectral recombining section (SSR) of the proposed image generating unit (10).
