The basic idea behind a Fresnel lens is simple. Imagine taking a plastic magnifying glass lens and slicing it into a hundred concentric rings (like the rings of a tree). Each ring is slightly thinner than the next and focuses the light toward the centre. ... Large Fresnel lenses are often used as solar concentrators and light houses. They parallel the light source, not focus it.
B&O many years ago perfected a light shift lens. That turned the rotary wave of the light source into one plane doubling the light usage through the LCD imagers. One per colour; Red, Green and Blue. The light box after that point does the focusing.

Nearly every post I come across regarding DIY projectors using an LCD panel also incorporate fresnel lenses. One before the display and then 1 after. Depending if it is split or unsplit.
I thought this was a required step. Is that not the case?
