Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of projection technology, and in particular to a small-volume direct projection system. Background Art
[0002] Direct projection system, also known as front projection system, is a common installation method in projection technology. Its main feature is that the audience and the projector are on the same side relative to the projection screen, that is, the projector directly projects the image or video onto the screen for the audience to watch, and is widely used in various industries.
[0003] However, the direct projection systems on the market have the following problems:
[0004] 1. During the production and assembly of the direct projection system, each lens is fixed by a pre-processed retaining ring to meet the design distance requirements between each lens. However, some small deviations are inevitable during the assembly process, resulting in problems such as tilted or eccentric installation of the lens, which causes a certain degree of decline in the imaging quality of the entire lens after assembly.
[0005] 2. In order to pursue high brightness, laser light source will be used. High brightness will cause uneven color and halo of the entire imaging picture, which will also reduce the imaging quality.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a small-volume direct projection system that can compensate for assembly errors during the assembly process, thereby reducing aberrations, improving the image quality of the lens, and making the color of the image uniform and low-cost.

[0010] The third lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens are combined into a triplet lens, and the chromatic aberration of the projection lens is corrected by using a combination of high, low and high refractive index;
[0011] The second lens is disposed in the lens barrel, and the position of the second lens is adjustable, so as to compensate for the degradation of image quality caused by the tilt of the triplet lens and the front lens group;

[0013] Furthermore, the second lens is mounted on the barrel wall of the lens barrel, is symmetrical along the circumferential direction and is threadedly connected to the barrel wall with a plurality of adjustment screws, the adjustment screws penetrate the barrel wall of the lens barrel and abut against the circumference of the second lens, and are used to adjust the eccentric position of the second lens.
[0014] Furthermore, the second lens is a glass spherical lens, which is used to correct the chromatic aberration of red, green and blue colors entering the second lens.
[0015] Furthermore, the first lens is a glass spherical lens, which is used to correct the angle and telecentricity of light entering the first lens.

[0017] Further, the sixth lens, the seventh lens and the eighth lens are all glass spherical lenses;

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] Figure 1 A structural diagram of a small volume direct projection system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, a small-volume direct projection system in the present application comprises a light valve 3, an illumination prism 4, an image biasing mirror 5 and a projection lens 1 which are arranged in sequence from the light incident direction to the light exit direction;
[0042] Furthermore, the illumination prism 4, the image biasing mirror 5 and the projection lens 1 form a refractive system, the total length of the refractive system is L1, the distance from the light valve 3 to the first lens 11 is the back working distance BFL, and BFL meets the condition: 0.015<BFL / L1<1.3.
[0043] The projection lens 1 is provided with a rear lens group and a front lens group in sequence on the same optical axis from the incident direction of the light to the exit direction of the light, the rear lens group includes a first lens 11, a second lens 12, a third lens 13, a fourth lens 14, and a fifth lens 15, and the front lens group includes a sixth lens 16, a seventh lens 17, an eighth lens 18, and a ninth lens 19;
[0044] Furthermore, the total length of the projection lens 1 is L2, and the total focal length of the projection lens 1 is f, which satisfies the condition: 2<L2 / f<15. The optical-mechanical back focus, lens length, optical-mechanical total length, field angle, and image height of the direct projection system have a mutually restrictive relationship.
[0045] Furthermore, the first lens 11 is a glass spherical lens, which is used to correct the angle and telecentricity of the light entering the first lens 11 .
[0046] For example, since the higher the refractive index, the stronger the light refraction ability is, the first lens 11 is a glass spherical lens, and is made of a material with a relatively high refractive index, with a refractive index range of [1.7, 2.0], which corrects the angle and telecentricity of the light entering the first lens 11 .
[0047] Furthermore, the third lens 13, the fourth lens 14 and the fifth lens 15 in the triplet lens are all glass spherical lenses, and the refractive index of the third lens 13 is in the range of [1.5, 1.7], the refractive index of the fourth lens 14 is in the range of [1.45, 1.65], and the refractive index of the fifth lens 15 is in the range of [1.5, 1.7]. Different refractive indices have different refractive powers for the three colors of red, green and blue, resulting in chromatic aberration. Through this combination, after a beam of white light passes through the triplet lens, the decomposition power of the three colors of red, green and blue becomes weaker, the color distribution of the picture is uniform, and the picture restoration degree is further improved.
[0048] Further, the sixth lens 16, the seventh lens 17 and the eighth lens 18 are all glass spherical lenses;
[0049] The sixth lens 16 is a meniscus lens bent toward the light source, the seventh lens 17 is a biconvex lens, and the eighth lens 18 is a biconcave lens;
[0050] The refractive index range of the eighth lens 18 is [1.5, 1.7), and the Abbe number range is [20, 95], which reduces the aberration of the projection lens 1.
[0051] Furthermore, the ninth lens 19 is a resin aspherical lens, and is in the shape of a meniscus lens bent toward the light source, and is used to magnify the magnification of the projection lens 1 and correct the TV distortion of the projection lens 1 .
[0052] Since the ninth lens 19 is far away from the optical machine and has relatively weak temperature sensitivity, a resin aspherical lens is used, which has a meniscus shape that bends toward the light source. At the same time, since the lens is also far away from the aperture 2, the field of view is large. The use of an aspherical surface can reduce system distortion aberration and improve imaging quality.
[0053] The nine lenses of the projection lens 1, namely the first lens 11, the second lens 12, the third lens 13, the fourth lens 14, the fifth lens 15, the sixth lens 16, the seventh lens 17 and the eighth lens 18 are all glass spherical lenses, and the ninth lens 19 is a resin aspherical lens, which are all made of commonly used materials to reduce manufacturing costs.
[0054] Furthermore, the projection lens 1 has positive optical power;
[0055] Among them, the optical focal powers of the first lens 11, the second lens 12, the third lens 13, the fourth lens 14, the fifth lens 15, the sixth lens 16, the seventh lens 17, the eighth lens 18 and the ninth lens 19 are set to be positive focal power, positive focal power, positive focal power, positive focal power, negative focal power, positive focal power, positive focal power, negative focal power, and negative focal power respectively.
[0056] An aperture 2 is provided between the front lens group and the rear lens group, and the aperture 2 is located in the middle of the projection lens 1;
[0057] The aperture 2 is disposed in the middle of the projection lens 1, which is beneficial for keeping the apertures of the lenses in the front lens group and the rear lens group basically consistent, and at the same time shortening the volume of the projection lens 1 by coordinating the lens materials and shapes.
[0058] Exemplarily, the stop 2 is an aperture stop.
[0059] A small-volume direct projection system in the present application has a compact structure and a small volume. The volume of the direct projection system is shortened by setting the aperture in the middle of the lens and coordinating the lens materials and shapes on both sides of the aperture, so that the total length of the direct projection system can be less than 59 mm.
[0060] The total length of the direct projection system is too long, and its convenience and portability are poor. It is relatively bulky and has a high processing cost. If its total length is too short, it lacks processability, increases the difficulty of processing, and is not mass-producible. Therefore, in order to meet both processability and portability, the aperture in this application is set in the middle of the lens and the lens materials and shapes on both sides of the aperture are matched to shorten the total length of the projection system to less than 59mm.
[0061] The third lens 13, the fourth lens 14 and the fifth lens 15 are combined into a triplet lens, and the chromatic aberration of the projection lens 1 is corrected by using a combination of high, low and high refractive index.
[0062] The second lens 12 is disposed in the lens barrel 6, and the position of the second lens 12 is adjustable, so as to compensate for the degradation of image quality caused by the tilt of the triplet lens and the front lens group;
[0063] The second lens 12 is mounted on the wall of the lens barrel 6 , symmetrically along the circumferential direction and threadedly connected to the wall with a plurality of adjustment screws 7 . The adjustment screws 7 penetrate the wall of the lens barrel 6 and abut against the circumference of the second lens 12 , so as to adjust the eccentric position of the second lens 12 .
[0064] Figure 2 A diagram of the adjustment structure of the second lens in a small-volume direct projection system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a second lens adjustment structure in a small volume direct projection system provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second lens 12 is mounted on the wall of the lens barrel 6, and is symmetrical along the circumferential direction and threadedly connected with four adjustment screws 7. The screws penetrate the wall of the lens barrel 6 and abut against the circumference of the second lens 12, and are used to adjust the position of the second lens 12 in four directions: up, down, left, and right.
[0065] By rotating the adjusting screw 7, the position of the second lens 12 in the lens barrel 6 can be moved up, down, left, or right, so as to adjust the eccentricity of the second lens 12, thereby compensating for the eccentricity of the triplet lens assembly and the image quality degradation caused by the tilted installation of the front group of lenses.
[0066] In the present invention, a second lens with adjustable position is arranged in the lens, and the second lens alone performs the function of adjusting the eccentric position, and other lenses used in groups, such as the third lens, the fourth lens or the fifth lens, are not selected. In this way, when the lens has been assembled and the existing assembly is not changed, other lens groups used in groups to achieve specific functions are not affected. The second lens alone can perform eccentric position adjustment to compensate for the image quality degradation caused by the tilt of the three-cemented lens and the front lens group, thereby improving the imaging quality of the direct projection system.
[0067] Furthermore, the second lens 12 is a glass spherical lens, which is used to correct the chromatic aberration of the three colors of red, green and blue entering the second lens 12 .
[0068] The first lens 11 , the second lens 12 , the sixth lens 16 , and the seventh lens 17 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the aperture 2 to balance the aberration of the projection lens 1 .
[0069] Embodiment 1
[0070] In this embodiment, the relevant parameters of each lens, including the refractive index nd, Abbe number Vd, radius of curvature R, and coefficient of thermal expansion CT, are shown in Table 1. The data in the column of the radius of curvature represent the right radius / left radius respectively. When measuring the coefficient of thermal expansion, linear thermal expansion is simulated to simulate the linear thermal expansion effect of the material under temperature change, which is the ratio of the length change per Kelvin.
[0071] Table 1 Lens Parameter Table
[0072] In this embodiment, the system structure parameters of the projection lens 1 satisfy the following conditions: effective focal length (EFL) = 12.7 mm, offset is 96% < OFFSET < 104%, resolution is 93 lp / mm, the projected image size is 20 - 190 inches, and the projection ratio ≤ 1.2.
[0073] Coefficient of expansion: Compensate for the distance change caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of each device, and affect the imaging effect of the image.
[0074] Radius of curvature: Shorten the distance between each lens. The smaller the number of the radius, the more curved it is, and the better the distance reduction effect. If the vertex of the arc where the mirror surface is located is on the left side of the center of curvature, the radius of curvature of the mirror surface is positive. If the vertex is on the right side of the center of curvature, the radius of curvature of the mirror surface is negative. For example, when looking at a biconvex lens from the side, the radius of curvature of its left surface is positive, and the radius of curvature of its right surface is negative, while the biconcave lens is just the opposite.
[0075] Exemplarily, for the first lens 11 in Table 1, the vertex of the arc of the left surface is on the left side of its center of curvature, so the radius of curvature of this mirror surface is positive. The vertex of the arc of the right surface is on the right side of its center of curvature, so the radius of curvature of this mirror surface is negative. The radius of curvature of the left surface 38.576 is smaller than the radius of curvature of the right surface 123.5, so the left surface of the first lens 11 is more curved than the right surface.
[0076] For the ninth lens 19, the vertex of the arc of the left surface is on the left side of its center of curvature, so the radius of curvature of this mirror surface is positive. The vertex of the arc of the right surface is also on the left side of its center of curvature, so the radius of curvature of this mirror surface is also positive. The radius of curvature of the left surface 25.36 is larger than the radius of curvature of the right surface 8.7, so the left surface of the ninth lens 19 is less curved than the right surface.
[0077] Figure 4A vertical axis chromatic aberration diagram of a small volume direct projection system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the ordinate is the actual image height of the field of view, the abscissa is the error between each wavelength and the main light, lines 1, 2, and 3 in the figure represent three different wavelengths of light, where line 1 is blue light, line 2 is green light (main wavelength), and line 3 is red light. The color difference value of the system is determined by the offset of the red light and the blue light relative to the central green light under different field conditions. Generally, the color difference value is less than 0.5 pixels. In this embodiment, 1 pixel = 5.4μm, from Figure 4 It can be seen that the color difference values are all less than 0.2 pixels, and the clarity of the image quality is beyond the range that the human eye can distinguish. Therefore, the color difference of the entire system is small and the color is uniform.

The higher the vertical axis value, the stronger the resolution capability and the higher the degree of image quality restoration.
[0079] from Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the projection screen is 80 inches, the modulation transfer function (mtf) of light of different wavelengths (0.45μm, 0.55μm, 0.643μm) is shown.

The ordinate values of the three different wavelengths of light are all over or close to 0.5, and the imaging quality of the system is very clear.
[0080] from Figure 6As shown in the figure, when the projection screen is 60 inches, in the modulation transfer function (mtf) of different wavelengths of light (0.45μm, 0.55μm, 0.643μm), the green solid line is the meridian at 0.707F, the green dotted line is the sagittal line at 0.707F, the red solid line is the meridian at 1F, the red dotted line is the sagittal line at 1F, the blue solid line is the meridian at 0.2F, and the blue dotted line is the sagittal line at 0.2F. The ordinate values of the three different wavelengths of light are all over or close to 0.5, and the imaging quality of the system is very clear.
[0081] from Figure 7 As shown in the figure, when the projection screen is 120 inches, in the modulation transfer function (mtf) of different wavelengths (0.45μm, 0.55μm, 0.643μm), the green solid line is the meridian at 0.707F, the green dotted line is the sagittal line at 0.707F, the red solid line is the meridian at 1F, the red dotted line is the sagittal line at 1F, the blue solid line is the meridian at 0.2F, and the blue dotted line is the sagittal line at 0.2F. The ordinate values of the three different wavelengths of light are all over or close to 0.5, and the imaging quality of the system is very clear.

Generally, GEO / RMS is less than 3, which means that assembly is relatively easy.
[0083] In this embodiment, 1 pixel = 5.4 μm. Table 2 shows the RMS value and GEO value of the light spot at 10 different viewing points. Taking a 0.47-inch DMD (digital micromirror device) as an example, the RMS value and GEO value of 10 points of equal area are sampled. It can be seen from Table 2 that the RMS value is less than 1 pixel and the GEO / RMS is less than 3, so the assembly yield of the projection lens 1 is good.
