Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of light projection, and in particular to a large-magnification continuous zoom projection optical system. Background Art

[0002] Laser display projection technology is a new type of display projection technology on the market. Laser projectors that currently use this technology can achieve the function of automatic focusing, and laser projectors that can achieve the automatic focusing function are also called automatic focusing projectors. Among them, focusing refers to adjusting the position of the projector's focal point to adjust the projector's image distance.

[0003] The focus projector includes a driving component and a projection lens, wherein the projection lens includes a focus group for focusing. When the projection lens projects onto a screen and the distance between the projection lens and the screen changes, the driving component can control each focus lens in the focus group to move along the optical axis of the focus group according to a pre-configured correspondence between the distance and the image distance.

[0004] With the development of projection technology, the application scenarios of projectors are becoming more and more diverse. When users need to project a large image at a short distance, they will choose a short-throw lens.

In addition, the zoom ratio of traditional zoom projection lenses is mainly concentrated between 1.2x and 1.6x, and a single lens is difficult to meet the increasing needs of users.
