AB  - In optical see-through head-mounted displays, it has been a common challenge that 
      the displayed image lacks brightness and contrast compared with the direct view 
      of a real-world scene. Consequently, such displays are usually used in dimmed 
      lighting conditions, which limits the feasibility of applying such information 
      displays outdoors or in scenarios where well-lit environments, such as in 
      operation rooms, are required. The lack of image brightness is aggravated in the 
      design of a see-through head-mounted projection display (HMPD). For instance, the 
      overall flux transfer efficiency of existing HMPD designs is less than 10%. The 
      design of a polarized head-mounted projection display (p-HMPD) is presented. The 
      images of a p-HMPD system can potentially be three times brighter than those in 
      existing HMPD designs. It is further demonstrated that the p-HMPD design is able 
      to dramatically improve image brightness, contrast, and color vividness with 
      experimental results. Finally, the design of a compact optical system and helmet 
      prototype is described.
