[0049] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a projection device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the projection device includes a light source device 201, an optical system 202, and an imaging system 203. Among them, the light source device 201 includes one or more light sources; the optical system 202 includes optical elements for collimating and combining the light of the light source, and light homogenizing elements for homogenizing the light of the light source, such as a light bar or a fly-eye, etc.; the light beam emitted by the light source device 201 is irradiated to a spatial light modulator (not shown in the figure) through the optical system 202, and the spatial light modulator irradiates its incident light into the imaging system 203, and finally images the image light onto a projection object such as a screen. The imaging system 203 is generally a lens system, such as a projection lens.

[0050] In addition, the projection device may further include a light source control module (not shown in the figure), which can control the actions of one or more light sources in the light source device 201, so that the light source device 201 emits light in a specified wavelength band required for generating an image. Further, the light source device 201, the optical system 202, and the imaging system 203 may all be included in the projection optical engine 102 (refer to Figure 1 ).

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the light source device 201 includes a light source 1, a beam splitting device 2, and an optical waveguide 3, as Figure 3As shown in the figure. The light source 1 is used to emit light source light; the beam splitting device 2 is located on the light output side of the light source 1 and is used to split a beam of light source light into multiple beams of secondary light source light; the optical waveguide 3 is located on the light output side of the beam splitting device 2, and a plurality of color filtering elements are arranged therein, which are used to split the secondary light source light emitted by the beam splitting device 2 again to obtain more dispersed output light beams. Exemplarily, the color filtering element can be an electrochromic element, such as an electrochromic color filter. By changing the voltage, the material characteristics of the color filter are changed, and the refractive index is changed so that the wavelength transmittance and reflectance are inconsistent. In the embodiment of the present invention, the beam splitting device 2 and the optical waveguide 3 are two different elements. In some other embodiments, the beam splitting device 2 and the optical waveguide 3 can be an integral element, and the light source 1 can also emit multiple beams of light source light. The present invention does not limit this.

[0052] Further, the light source device 201 further includes a voltage control module (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the color filtering elements in the optical waveguide 3 and is used to adjust the color filtering characteristics of each color filtering element, such as transmittance and reflectance, to achieve the brightness adjustment of each output light beam.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the beam splitting device 2 disperses a beam of light source light emitted by the light source 1 into 4 beams of secondary light source light, and the optical waveguide 3 is provided with 4×4 color filtering elements arranged in an array, which are used to disperse the 4 beams of secondary light source light emitted by the beam splitting device 2 into 4×4 beams of output light.

[0054] The brightness adjustment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be realized by running or executing software programs and / or operating systems stored in the storage module 104 by the central controller 103, or can be realized by the image processor 101 executing corresponding instructions. As Figure 4 shown, the brightness adjustment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following contents:

[0055] S1001. Obtain the resolution and brightness information of the original image.

[0056] When a display device such as a projection device is used to display the original image, the original image usually comes with some information, such as resolution, brightness, size, etc. The embodiment of the present invention determines the color filtering parameters of each color filtering element in the optical waveguide according to the resolution and brightness information of the original image, realizes the automatic adjustment of brightness, and improves the user experience.

[0057] S1002. Determine the color filtering matrix F of the optical waveguide according to the resolution and the brightness information.

[0058] Exemplarily, assume that the resolution of the original image is P×Q, then the brightness information of the original image includes P×Q brightness values. In order to make the output image of the projection device as close as possible to the original image, the color filtering matrix F of the optical waveguide can be determined according to the brightness information of the original image 44, where the color filter matrix F 44 The element f xy corresponds to the color filter parameters of 4×4 color filter elements, so as to adjust the transmittance and reflectance of each color filter element, so that the intensity of each outgoing beam of the optical waveguide corresponds to the brightness information of the original image. Specifically, the value of f xy can be obtained according to the pixel brightness information of the corresponding area of the original image corresponding to the outgoing light of each color filter element. For example, if there are multiple brightness levels divided, different brightness levels correspond to different color filter parameters. After obtaining the brightness information of the original image, the color filter parameters of the color filter elements can be determined according to the brightness level to which the brightness information belongs.

[0059] In some embodiments, the following method can also be used to determine the color filter matrix F of the optical waveguide:

[0060] S201. Determine the brightness matrix S according to the resolution, the brightness information, and the number of color filter elements in the optical waveguide.

[0061] Considering factors such as cost and device size, the number of color filter elements in the optical waveguide is usually less than the number of pixels of the original image. Therefore, the brightness matrix S corresponding to the number of color filter elements in the optical waveguide can be determined first. Exemplarily, the element value in the brightness matrix S 44 can be calculated according to the brightness information of (P×Q) / (4×4) adjacent pixels (such as the average value).

[0062] In some embodiments, the last column or the last row of the optical waveguide can both be reflective elements, such as mirrors. The following takes the last column of the optical waveguide being all reflective elements as an example for illustration. Then, the 4×4 color filter element matrix of the optical waveguide can include 4×3 electrochromic elements arranged in an array. The color filter characteristics of the last column of reflective elements are not adjustable. Therefore, only the 4×3 brightness matrix S can be calculated. Then, the element value in the brightness matrix S 43 can be calculated according to the brightness information of (P×Q) / (4×3) adjacent pixels (such as the average value).

[0063] S202. Obtain the adjustment factor matrix Z.

[0064] Specifically, the adjustment factors corresponding to different brightness levels can be pre-stored in the projection device. According to the brightness to which the value of each element s ij in the brightness matrix S belongs, the corresponding adjustment factor z hk can be obtained, and then the adjustment factor matrix Z composed of the elements z hk is obtained. In this embodiment, since the elements of the adjustment factor matrix Z can be adjusted locally, the light intensity can be enhanced in some areas or weakened in some areas, so as to achieve local adjustment of brightness and / or light homogenization.

[0065] In some embodiments, the adjustment factor matrix Z can also be determined according to the ambient light brightness, display mode, hardware parameters, etc. For example, the brightness level to which the brightness belongs in different ambient light conditions can be determined according to the ambient light brightness-brightness level mapping relationship, and then the adjustment factor matrix Z can be determined. The adjustment factor matrix Z can also be determined according to the display mode. The examples are as follows:

[0066] If the display mode is the local adjustment mode, the adjustment factors for the higher-brightness area or the lower-brightness area correspond to different brightness levels. If the brightness value of the lower-brightness area is less than the minimum brightness value, the adjustment factor corresponds to a high brightness level; if the brightness value of the higher-brightness area is greater than the maximum brightness value, the adjustment factor corresponds to a low brightness level; the brightness levels are evenly divided according to the hardware parameters; the brightness levels to which the brightness belongs in different ambient light conditions can also be determined according to the ambient light brightness-brightness level mapping relationship.

[0067] If the display mode is the high-brightness mode, the adjustment factor for the entire area is the brightness threshold constant or the brightness threshold constant matrix supported by the hardware corresponding to the high-brightness mode. The specific constants of the brightness threshold constant matrix can be set to be the same or different.

[0068] If the display mode is the color mode, the adjustment factor for the entire area is the brightness threshold constant or the brightness threshold constant matrix corresponding to the color gamut supported by the hardware corresponding to the color mode. The specific constants of the brightness threshold constant matrix can be set to be the same or different.

[0069] If the display mode is the comprehensive mode, the adjustment factor is the constant matrix corresponding to the comprehensive mode. The constants in the constant matrix are different. The constants include the constants of the color filtering characteristics of the high-brightness mode and the constants of the color filtering characteristics of the color mode, so that the light output of the pixel partitions includes, for example, green light and part of the transmitted green light, meeting the comprehensive requirements of brightness and color gamut and avoiding the disadvantages of large brightness loss in the color mode and poor color gamut in the brightness mode.

[0070] S203. Determine the color filter matrix F according to the brightness matrix S and the adjustment factor matrix Z, where F = SZ or F = ZS.

[0071] The number of elements of the color filter matrix F corresponds to the number of elements of the brightness matrix S. For example, if the brightness matrix S is a 4×4 matrix, the color filter matrix F is also a 4×4 matrix; if the brightness matrix S is a 4×3 matrix, the color filter matrix F is also a 4×3 matrix. The number of elements of the adjustment factor matrix Z can be obtained according to the matrix calculation rules.

[0072] Exemplarily, it is assumed that in the adjustment factor matrix Z, a value of 1 represents high brightness, a value of 0.5 represents a high color gamut, and a value of 0 represents no outgoing light. If it is in the local adjustment mode, the value of the Z part in the adjustment factor matrix is determined according to the brightness value and the brightness level. For example, if the dark part is adjusted to be darker, the adjustment factor corresponding to the area with a lower brightness value is changed to 0, thereby changing the color filtering characteristics of some color filter elements; if it is in the brightness mode, all or most of the values in the adjustment factor matrix Z are changed to 1; if it is in the color gamut mode, some or all of the values in the adjustment factor matrix Z are changed to 0.5; if it is in the comprehensive mode, some of the values in the adjustment factor matrix Z are changed to 0.5 and some are changed to 1. By setting different color filtering parameters for multiple modes, the static spectroscopic device and the color filter matrix can be used to change the function of the dynamic element to change the mode.

[0073] S1003. Adjust the color filtering characteristics of each color filter element in the optical waveguide according to the color filter matrix F.

[0074] When the color filter element in the optical waveguide is an electrochromic element, the driving voltage of the electrochromic element can be adjusted to change its color filtering characteristics. For example, the driving voltage can be adjusted according to the color filtering parameter-driving voltage mapping relationship to change the color filtering characteristics, so as to realize the brightness adjustment of pixel partitioning, or the driving voltage can be adjusted according to the color filtering parameter-conversion coefficient mapping relationship. The target driving voltage U1 = V1 × U0, where V1 represents the conversion coefficient and U0 represents the driving voltage value corresponding to the primary color filtering parameter. Optionally, the amplitude and / or width of the driving voltage can be adjusted to further change the color filtering characteristics of the electrochromic element.

[0075] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a brightness adjustment device, including a brightness adjustment module, and the brightness adjustment module is used to perform the following steps:

[0076] Obtain the resolution and brightness information of the original image;

[0077] Determine the color filter matrix F of the optical waveguide according to the resolution and the brightness information. The optical waveguide is used to disperse the incident light into M×N beams of outgoing light. The optical waveguide includes M×N color filter elements arranged in an array. The elements of the color filter matrix F correspond to the color filtering parameters of the color filter elements, where M≥1 and N≥1;

[0078] Adjust the driving voltage of each color filter element in the optical waveguide according to the color filter matrix F.
