[0025] In the related art, a light source is generally formed by combining a red LED, a blue LED and a green LED to achieve white light emission. Since the brightness of the LED light source itself is insufficient, in an environment with a slightly higher brightness requirement, a higher brightness can only be achieved by increasing the number of LEDs. Since the brightness requirement of the red LED is the largest, a combination of a first red LED, a second red LED, a green LED and a blue LED is generally used to achieve the light source combination. However, since the expansion of the LED emission light is large, the design difficulty of the light combination component and the light combination efficiency are both high when the light is combined, especially when the red LED and the green LED are combined. In addition, since multiple LEDs are used, the overall size of the light source is large under the same brightness requirement. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a small-size, high-brightness and high-efficiency light source system.

[0026] Therefore, the present application proposes a new light source system which fully utilizes the difference in optical expansion between the LED light source and the laser light source and redesigns the layout form of the optical elements to effectively reduce the cost, size, improve the brightness and color gamut. It can be understood that the projection device of the present application can be used not only in traditional projection industry such as business machine, education machine and other projectors, but also can be applied to interactive projection scenes such as desktop projection, micro projection, mobile phone integrated projection and the like due to the simple architecture and powerful function, which has a very broad application prospect.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , the basic optical architecture diagram of the light source system of the present application, the light source system includes a first light module 10, a second light module 20, a light combination module 30 and a light homogenization module 40. The first light module 10 includes a first light source 11 and a second light source 12, the first light source 11 is used to emit first light, and the second light source 12 is used to emit second light. In some embodiments, the first light can be blue light or green light, and the second light can be green light or blue light. The second light module 20 includes a third light source 21 and a fourth light source 22, the third light source 21 is used to emit third light, and the fourth light source 22 is used to emit fourth light. In some embodiments, the third light can be blue light or green light, and the fourth light can be green light or blue light. The light combination module 30 is used to combine the first light, the second light, the third light and the fourth light to form a light source with a certain color gamut. The light homogenization module 40 is used to homogenize the light emitted by the light source.

[0028] The block 20 comprises a third light source 21 for emitting third light, which is red light in the embodiment. The light combination module 30 is used for combining the first light, the second light and the third light, which can be wavelength combination or extended quantity combination, and the detailed structure will be introduced later, which is not described here. The extended quantity of the first light and the second light is greater than that of the third light, for example, the first light and the second light can be wide spectrum light emitted by LED or fluorescent light, which can be generated by fixed fluorescent wheel, color wheel and other forms, which is not limited in the present application. The third light can be laser, preferably linearly polarized laser. Since the optical extended quantity of the first light and the second light is greater than that of the third light, when the first light, the second light and the third light are combined, the difference in spectrum and the difference in optical extended quantity of the three kinds of light can be fully utilized, so that the volume of the light source can be further reduced under the premise of further improving the brightness of the light source after combination. At the same time, since the optical extended quantity of the first light source and the second light source in the first light module is large, the non-imaging optical principle can be fully utilized to recycle the light emitted by the first light module 10, and the light emitting efficiency of the light source is significantly improved.

[0029] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a light source system according to the present application. The first light module 10 of the light source system 1000 includes a first light source 11 and a second light source 12, and specifically includes a light source assembly, a collection assembly, and a recycling assembly. The light source assembly includes a first light source assembly 111 and a second light source assembly 121, and is configured to emit a first light and a second light. In this embodiment, the first light source assembly 111 and the second light source assembly 121 are LED light sources, the first light is blue light, and the second light is green light. Preferably, the spectral range of the first light is 480 ± 15 nm, and the spectral range of the second light is 538 nm ± 15 nm. The collection assembly is disposed on the light path of the light source assembly, and includes a first collection assembly 121 and a second collection assembly 122. The first collection assembly 121 and the second collection assembly 122 are configured to collect the light emitted by the first light source assembly 111 and the second light source assembly 121, respectively, and to irradiate the collected light onto the recycling assembly. The recycling assembly is disposed on the light path of the collection assembly, and includes a first recycling assembly 113 and a second recycling assembly 123. The recycling assembly is configured to transmit light of a first polarization state and reflect light of a second polarization state, which is perpendicular to the first polarization state, back to the light source assembly for reuse. In some embodiments, the recycling assembly is a reflective polarized brightness enhancement film (DBEF).

[0031] In some embodiments, the light source system further includes a collimating lens 1121 (1221), and the collection assembly can be a conical reflector 1221 (1222) or a collection lens 1221 (1222). The collimating lens is disposed on the light path of the conical reflector. The conical reflector 1221 has an incident surface at one end with a smaller area and an exit surface at the other end with a larger area. The first light or the second light emitted by the light source assembly is incident into the conical reflector through the incident surface, is reflected by the side wall of the conical reflector, and is then emitted from the exit surface or directly emitted. As a result, the area of the exit light spot is larger than the area of the incident light spot, thereby reducing the divergence angle of the light beam. In this way, the first light or the second light is emitted in a non-imaging manner to match the subsequent light modulation module. In this embodiment, the conical reflector 1221 is a solid conical light guide rod, and the light beam is reflected by the side wall of the conical reflector 1221 through total reflection. In other embodiments of the present application, the conical reflector 1221 can also be a hollow conical reflector composed of a reflective plate / reflection surface, which will not be described here. The collimating lens can be a Fresnel lens, a free-form lens, or the like, which can collimate the light spot to match the illumination part required by the subsequent modulation panel.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3The first optical module also includes a supplementary light source 13, which emits excitation light. The excitation light illuminates the first light source 11 or the second light source 12. The surface of the first light source 11 or the second light source 12 is provided with first or second light phosphor. The excitation light illuminates the phosphor to generate supplementary light. The supplementary light, after reflection from the first light source 11 or the second light source 12, enters the light combining module 30. In this embodiment, the supplementary light source is a blue laser, the first light source is a blue LED, and the second light source is a green LED. The surface of the second light source is provided with green phosphor. After the blue laser illuminates the green phosphor on the surface of the second light source, it remotely excites and generates green fluorescence. The green fluorescence, after reflection from the green LED, illuminates the light combining module. This configuration further increases the efficiency of the light source system in generating green light. Since green light contributes more to the brightness of white light, this configuration helps to significantly improve the brightness of the light source. In some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 The second optical module 20 includes a third light source 21, a first reflector 22, a speckle-reducing component 23, and a collimation component 24. The third light source 21 emits a third light, which is a red laser. Preferably, the spectral range of the third light source is 625nm ± 2nm. Since the spectral range of the third light emitted by the third light source differs significantly from that of the first light emitted by the first light source and the second light emitted by the second light source, the design difficulty of the light combining module 30 is relatively low. Furthermore, because the color coordinates of the third light source are closer to the color gamut extreme value than the broad-spectrum red light emitted by the LED red light source, the color gamut range of this light source system is larger than that of a combined light source of red LED, blue LED, and green LED, resulting in better color rendering and effectively improving the user experience. The first reflector is mainly used to reflect the third light so that it enters the light combining module 30. Figure 2 In the described optical path architecture, the first reflector fully utilizes the lateral space of the first and second light sources. Simultaneously, this design reduces interference between light source components while minimizing the volume of the light source system. In some embodiments, the speckle-reducing component 23 is positioned between the first reflector and the light-combining module. This arrangement effectively eliminates speckle in the third light, improving the efficiency of the white light emitted from the light source system. Furthermore, it broadens the optical extension of the third light, allowing the first, second, and third lights to fully contact each other within the light-combining module for optimal light combining. In some embodiments, the first reflector and the speckle-reducing component are integrated, enabling speckle reduction and reflection of the third light. In other embodiments, the speckle-reducing component 23 is positioned after the light-combining module 30 and before the light-uniforming module 40. This fully utilizes the difference in optical extension between the third light and the first and second lights, allowing for a differentiated design of the light-combining module and improving its light-combining efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, for the scheme that the dispersion spot assembly 23 is arranged between the first reflecting mirror and the light combining module, please continue to refer to Figure 2 The light combining module 30 can include a first light combining assembly 31 and a second light combining assembly 32. The first light combining assembly 31 is a wavelength light combining assembly, i.e., the first light combining assembly is configured to transmit the first light or the second light. The second light combining assembly 32 is also a wavelength light combining assembly, and is arranged on the light path of the first light combining assembly 31. The second light combining assembly 32 is configured to transmit the third light, the first light, the reflected second light, or to transmit the third light, the second light, the reflected first light. In the present embodiment, the first light combining assembly 31 is configured to transmit red light and reflect green light, and the second light combining assembly is configured to transmit red light and green light and reflect blue light. In another embodiment, as shown in the scheme of Figure 3 , the first light combining assembly is configured to transmit red light and blue light and reflect green light, and the second light combining assembly is configured to reflect blue light and transmit red light and green light. Through such an arrangement, the expansion of the third light after being dispersed by the dispersion spot assembly 23 can match the expansion of the first light and the second light, so that light combining can be achieved by wavelength light combining. Moreover, the dispersion spot assembly 23 can be designed integrally with the first reflecting mirror, so that the volume of the light path can be further reduced.

[0034] In another embodiment, for the scheme that the dispersion spot assembly 23 is arranged between the light combining module and the light homogenizing module 40, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 together, the light combining module 30 can include a third light combining assembly 33 and a fourth light combining assembly 34. The third light combining assembly 33 includes a central hole portion 331 and a peripheral portion 332. The central hole 331 is configured to transmit the third light, and the peripheral portion 332 is configured to reflect the first light or the second light to achieve expansion light combining. The fourth light combining assembly 34 is arranged on the light path of the third light combining assembly 33. The fourth light combining assembly includes a second central hole 341 and a second peripheral portion 342. The second central hole 341 is configured to transmit the third light and the first light, and the peripheral portion 342 is configured to transmit the first light and reflect the second light, or to transmit the second light and reflect the first light. In some embodiments, the central hole 331 of the third light combining assembly 33 is configured to transmit the third light with small expansion, and the peripheral portion 332 is configured to reflect green light. The second central hole 341 of the fourth light combining assembly is configured to transmit red light and green light with small expansion, and the second peripheral portion 342 of the fourth light combining assembly 34 is configured to transmit green light and reflect blue light. In another embodiment, as shown in the scheme of Figure 3In the shown scheme, the first central hole of the third light combination component is used for transmitting red laser and blue complementary light, the first peripheral part is used for reflecting green light, the second peripheral part of the fourth light combination component is used for reflecting blue light, and the second central hole part of the fourth light combination component is used for transmitting red laser and green light. Through such a setting, the difference in the expansion amount of the third light and the expansion amount of the first light and the second light can be fully utilized, so that the light combination can be realized by the expansion amount combination mode, intersecting with the scheme of wavelength combination, which can maximize the guarantee of the red laser incident to the subsequent optical system. Since the efficiency of red light itself is not high, such a design can maximize the utilization of red laser.

[0035] In some other embodiments, the first light module can not additionally set a complementary light source, but generate the complementary light through the first light source 11. After the first light generated by the first light source 11 passes through the light combination module, part of the first light is used for reflection on the second light source 12. The second light source 12 is provided with a second light fluorescent powder on the surface. Part of the first light irradiates the fluorescent powder to generate the complementary light. The complementary light is reflected by the second light source 12 and then enters the light combination module 30 again. In this embodiment, the complementary light source is the first light source 11, the first light source is a blue LED, the second light source is a green LED, and the second light source 12 is provided with a green fluorescent powder on the surface. After part of the first light irradiates the green fluorescent powder on the surface of the green LED, the green fluorescent powder is excited to generate green fluorescent light. The green fluorescent light is reflected by the green LED and then reflected into the light combination module again. Through such a setting, the efficiency of the light source system in generating green light can be further increased. Since the brightness contribution of green light in white light is greater, the setting helps to significantly improve the light source brightness. In this embodiment, the third light source 21 is a linearly polarized laser with S polarization state, emitting red S polarized light. In this embodiment, the light combination module 30 includes a fifth light combination component 35 and a sixth light combination component 36. The fifth light combination component can be the aforementioned wavelength combination device, which is used for transmitting red laser (third light) and reflecting blue light (first light), or an optical expansion amount combination device, the central area of which is used for transmitting red laser, and the peripheral area thereof is used for reflecting blue light (first light). The sixth light combination module is an X-cube light combination component.

[0036] Please see the following Figure 6, the first light source emits blue light, and the blue light is incident on the sixth light combination component 36. The sixth light combination component 36 includes a first optical surface 361, a second optical surface 362, a third support surface 363, and a fourth support surface 364. The first optical surface 361 is provided with a blue light reflecting and red and green light transmitting film. The second optical surface 362 is provided with a blue light reflecting and red and green light transmitting film. The third support surface 363 is a transparent surface. The third support surface 363 is in the same plane as the second optical surface 362. The fourth support surface 364 is a transparent surface. The fourth support surface 364 is in the same plane as the first optical surface 361. The included angle between the first optical surface and the second optical surface is 90°, that is, the first optical surface and the second optical surface are arranged perpendicularly. Therefore, part of the blue light is reflected into the exit light path after being transmitted through the third support surface 363 and being incident on the first optical surface 361. Another part of the blue light is reflected into a direction opposite to the exit light path after being transmitted through the support surface 364 and being incident on the second optical surface, and is incident on the fifth light combination component 35. Since the fifth light combination component reflects the first blue light, reflects the second green light, and transmits the third red laser light, part of the blue light is reflected by the fifth reflecting element to the second light source, and green fluorescent powder is excited to generate green light. For the second light source, the second light source emits green light, and the green light and the green fluorescent light generated by the first light source are incident on the fifth light combination component together, so as to be combined with the third light to be incident on the sixth light combination component again and generate white light. In this embodiment, the recycling component can also not be provided, but a polarizer is designed separately when entering the light modulation module subsequently.

[0037] Please continue to see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the light source system further includes a light homogenizing module 40, which is arranged on the light path of the light emitted by the light combination module 30 and is used for homogenizing the light combined by the light combination module 30. Preferably, the light homogenizing module 40 includes a light homogenizing element (not shown in the figure), which can be a compound eye lens or a square rod. Preferably, the light homogenizing element is a compound eye lens, which can be adapted to the expansion of the light combination module.

[0038] Please see Figure 7 The projection device provided in the present application includes the light source system in Embodiments 1-3. The projection device further includes a light modulation module 50 and a lens module 60.

[0039] In some embodiments, the light modulation module 50 includes a second mirror 51, a polarization beam splitter prism 52, and a light modulation assembly 53, wherein the tilting direction of the second mirror is parallel to the tilting direction of the first light combination assembly 31 and the second light combination assembly 32 in the light combination module 30, and the angle between the tilting direction of the first light combination assembly 31 and the second light combination assembly 32 and the horizontal direction is 135 degrees. The polarization beam splitter prism 52 is arranged on the light path of the second mirror, and is used to irradiate the light reflected by the second mirror 51 into the light modulation assembly 53. The light modulation assembly 53 is used to modulate the incident light, wherein the polarization beam splitter prism 52 is provided with a beam splitter film, the tilting direction of the beam splitter film is parallel to the tilting direction of the second mirror 51, and the beam splitter film is used to reflect light of a first polarization state and transmit light of a second polarization state. The light modulation assembly 53 is a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS), which can modulate light of the first polarization state. In this embodiment, the light of the first polarization state is S-polarized light, and the light of the second polarization state is P-polarized light. A direct projection lens 60 is arranged in the gap between the right side of the light modulation module and the upper side of the light source system, so as to fully utilize the longitudinal space and the transverse space, so that the overall light path layout is compact and small in size. At the same time, since the LCOS is used for modulation, the principle of reflection modulation can be fully utilized, and the size of the light path can be further compressed.
