TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of lenses, in particular to a high-brightness and low-cost DMD welcome light lens and an imaging method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The optical system of a vehicle-mounted projection loqo light generally comprises an illumination system, a film pattern (or a transparent display screen to realize a dynamic pattern) and imaging projection, and is basically a transplanted application of a conventional consumer projection system. At present, there are many vehicle-mounted projection schemes, such as an MLA scheme based on a semiconductor etching process, a traditional film scheme (plastic or glass), a transparent display screen (which can realize a dynamic pattern), and a scheme based on a DLP and an LCOS (such a scheme has a high cost and needs to consider a vehicle-grade chip and LED, is suitable for high-end vehicles, and will be more popular after the cost and corresponding vehicle-grade are reduced). The earliest Guangzhou Passenger Vehicle uses a welcome light scheme of an outside rearview mirror, which is favored by a large number of customers and greatly improves the use experience of users. However, as users are increasingly young, the market is increasingly dissatisfied with the scheme of only projecting a single LOGO, and expects a mature DMD scheme capable of projecting different patterns or even dynamic videos, and the brightness and cost are main shackles of the scheme.
