A new class of dynamical systems is introduced and studied by the author; the class of projective billiards associated with a smooth closed convex plane curve equipped with a smooth field of transverse directions. The paper is divided as follows: the first section consists of the introduction and the main result presented through Theorems A--E and Corollaries F, G. The next chapter provides several formulas in order to be used later on. The third section, ``An invariant area form'' and the fourth one, ``Conservative transverse fields'', contain the proof of Theorems A, B, C, E in addition to several Lemmas. Finally, the author proves Theorem D and analyses the particular case of centrally-projective billiards.
