Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of light and shadow imaging illumination technology and controllable programming technology, and in particular to a projection device and method based on a partitioned light source. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of projection technology, LCD panels are constantly innovating, and the brightness of light sources is continuously improving. Projection equipment has gradually become an indispensable part of modern home entertainment and business presentations. Traditional projectors use a variety of light source technologies, among which high-pressure mercury lamps are the earliest used in projectors. Although they can provide high brightness output, their service life is relatively short, and frequent replacement of light sources has become a major pain point for users. At the same time, the startup and cooling time of high-pressure mercury lamps is long, which makes it difficult to meet the modern demand for ready-to-use. In addition, their high energy consumption and large heat release make the heat dissipation system complex and large.

[0003] As an emerging light source technology, laser light source has been warmly welcomed by the market for its high brightness and long life. However, the cost of laser light source is relatively high, especially in high-resolution equipment, the complexity of laser module and optical system is significantly increased. In addition, the point light characteristics of laser light source are prone to produce mottled effect in the optical processing process, which affects the uniformity of the picture and greatly reduces the audience's viewing experience. A single laser light source cannot achieve a contrast ratio of millions to one, and photons are still emitted for pure black in the picture.

[0004] OLED and other display technologies excel in direct-view display devices, but they are not up to par in the projection field. Especially in high-brightness and high-contrast scenes, the aging and energy consumption issues of OLED panels have not been completely resolved, which limits its widespread application in the projection field.

[0005] In addition to the problems of light source technology itself, existing projection technology also has some common shortcomings. For example, the dynamic range is limited. It is difficult for traditional projectors to achieve accurate regional brightness adjustment, resulting in frequent problems such as highlight overflow and loss of dark details. Another example is energy consumption and thermal management issues. High-brightness light sources are usually accompanied by high energy consumption and heat emissions, which puts higher requirements on the cooling system of the equipment and increases the user's cost of use.

[0006] Due to the cost-effectiveness of single-light source projection and the continuous iteration of the optical path, it has rapidly occupied the market in recent years. However, as projection technology continues to advance, the inherent defects of single-light source projection technology have gradually emerged. The working principle of single-light source projection is that a single light source passes through the screen and a specific optical path, and finally the image is projected onto the screen by the lens. Although this technology is popular for its cost-effectiveness and simplicity, the problem of uneven brightness of the picture has been difficult to solve. Due to the characteristics of a single light source, the brightness of the center area of ​​the picture is higher, while the surrounding area is relatively dark. This uneven brightness distribution seriously affects the audience's visual enjoyment. In addition, single-light source projection also has obvious deficiencies in dark field performance. Since the light source needs to be kept on continuously, it is difficult to achieve complete black even in dark scenes, resulting in poor contrast. At the same time, during the production and use of projection equipment, it is extremely sensitive to tiny particles such as dust. Once the screen or optical path device is contaminated with dust, obvious black spots will form on the picture, and it is quite difficult to clean.

[0007] In order to overcome these defects, a variety of projection technology solutions have emerged on the market. However, these solutions have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, although the single light source with a single color LCD projection technology has a low cost, the brightness uniformity and contrast of the picture still need to be improved; the three-lamp projection in DLP mode has relatively good picture performance, but the price is high and the contrast is still insufficient; and the three-LCD screen projection has excellent picture quality, but the cost is high. At the same time, the three-LCD screen projection needs to consider the synchronization of the three LCD screens. Such synchronization needs to consider the time domain consistency, and cannot be simply from the time code consistency or frame consistency. Figure 1 The light field and the final image are solved consistently, so many projections of such structures will have slight ghosting. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a projection device and method based on a partitioned light source, which reduces the loss and scattering of light during the projection process, can achieve the effect of zero scattering of black photons in the dark field, and make the projected image more colorful and with higher contrast.

[0061] The specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the embodiment of the present invention, and is not used to limit the embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] It should be noted that the acquisition, transmission, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution of this application are in compliance with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations. In the embodiments of this application, some existing solutions in the industry such as certain software, components, and models may be mentioned, which should be considered as exemplary. Their purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of this application, but it does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use the solution.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a projection device based on a partitioned light source, and the projection device 100 based on a partitioned light source includes: at least one light source 200, wherein the light source 200 is provided with a plurality of partitions, and each partition is provided with a sub-light source; a controller 300, for adjusting the brightness parameters and color parameters of each sub-light source in the light source according to the brightness and color distribution of an input image; and an optical path processor 400, wherein the optical path processor 400 is provided with a photon energy elimination layer, for filtering out photons in the light source that do not meet predetermined morphological requirements, and the optical path processor 400 is used to process the effective light-emitting part of the sub-light source to obtain a target light source for projection.

[0064] According to a specific implementation, the sub-light source is at least one of an RGB light source, a W light source, an R light source, a G light source, and a B light source. The light source may be an LED, a laser, etc. For example, the light source may be a Mini LED light source. The small size and high efficiency of Mini LED make the light source system more compact, while significantly improving the utilization rate of light energy.

[0065] For example, taking the Mini LED array as an example, each partition contains RGB three-color LEDs, and the Mini LED array parameters include: substrate size: 62×35mm; single partition structure: 8×8 LED matrix, containing 36 RGB LEDs (single size 0.2×0.2mm); driving characteristics: PWM frequency 100kHz, duty cycle 1-100% adjustable. Through a high-dynamic pure white and / or full-color LED lamp bead array, combined with advanced dynamic image algorithms, precise adjustment and full-color control of local light sources are achieved. It not only improves the brightness and color performance of the projection equipment, but also gives it higher flexibility and adaptability, which can meet different scenarios and needs. The light source 200 is provided with multiple partitions, which can divide the light source into 32×32 blocks.

[0066] For example, the input signal is: 12-bit HDR video (HLG / PQ); color gamut conversion: BT.2020→DCI-P3 (3D-LUT correction); brightness analysis: divide the picture into 32×32 blocks (corresponding to light source partitions); the color value of the light source includes:

[0067] L max =max(R,G,B)

[0068] L avg =0.2126R+0.7152G+0.0722B

[0069] The sub-light source is driven as follows:

[0070]

[0071] Where: L max is the maximum color value of the light source, R, G, B are the color values ​​of red, green and blue respectively, L avg is the color average of the light source, I LED To drive the sub-light source, is the maximum color value of the input image, is the color average of the input image, α is the highlight enhancement coefficient, β is the average brightness compensation coefficient, and γ is the gamma value. Among them, β = 0.3 (average brightness compensation coefficient), γ = 2.4 (EOTF gamma value).

[0072] The optical drive method can also meet the following requirements according to the CIE LAB color space (chromaticity compensation):

[0073]

[0074] Where: I drive (x, y) is the driving current or driving signal at the position (x, y), which is used to control the brightness of the sub-light source. targetis the target brightness value at position (x, y), that is, the brightness level expected to be achieved, C chroma (x, y) is the chromaticity compensation value at position (x, y), which is used to adjust the saturation or hue of the color to ensure color accuracy and consistency. This formula is used to calculate the driving current or signal required for each sub-light source given the target brightness and chromaticity compensation. In this way, the brightness and color of the display device can be accurately controlled, thereby improving the quality and accuracy of the display effect.

[0075] The CIE LAB color space is a device-independent color space that more accurately represents the color differences perceived by the human eye. By performing chromaticity compensation in the CIE LAB color space, the saturation and hue of the color can be better adjusted, resulting in a more natural and accurate color display.

[0076] Gamma value (γ) is used to describe the nonlinear relationship between input signal and output brightness. In display technology, gamma value is usually used to adjust the brightness and contrast of the image to adapt to the visual characteristics of the human eye (k = 0.8-1.2) is the brightness compensation coefficient, and chroma is the chromaticity compensation item.

[0077] The sub-light source is provided with a lens array (MLA), which has the function of focusing and correcting. Specifically, the micro lens array (MLA) is covered on the Mini LED array to improve the collimation efficiency and projection efficiency of the light. The curvature radius gradient of the lens includes: center R = 0.8mm, edge R = 1.2mm, and the light efficiency improvement formula is: Efficiency = k × (1 + e-α (R-R0))

[0078] \text{Efficiency}=k\times(1+e^{-\alpha(R-R_0)})

[0079] Efficiency=k×(1+e-α(R-R0))

[0080] Among them, k = 0.73 is the experimental fitting coefficient.

[0081] The controller 300 includes an FPGA image processor or / and a high-speed dynamic image processor and a dynamic dimming algorithm chip, which is used to analyze the brightness and color distribution of the input image in real time, and dynamically adjust the brightness and color of each light source partition. Specifically, the dynamic dimming of the controller 300 includes: dividing the input image into regions to obtain multiple image blocks; analyzing the brightness and color distribution of each image block, and calculating the corresponding brightness and color adjustment parameters; dynamically adjusting the brightness and color output of the corresponding light source partition according to the brightness and color adjustment parameters; wherein the brightness adjustment parameters include a highlight enhancement coefficient, an average brightness compensation coefficient and a gamma value, and the color adjustment parameters include a color gamut conversion parameter and a color compensation parameter.

[0082] The optical path processor comprises a light cutter, a light beamer and an optical path channel; the photon energy elimination layer is arranged in at least one inner wall of the light cutter, the light beamer and the optical path channel; the photon energy elimination layer is a carbon nanotube array coating, which is used to convert the photon consumption in the light source that does not meet the predetermined morphological requirements into heat energy; the density range of the carbon nanotube array coating is at least 1.0×10 6 ~1.5×10 6 Root / cm 2 .

[0083] The optical path processor is used to process the effective light-emitting part of the sub-light source to obtain the target light source, including: the optical path processor includes a collimator, which is used to integrate and collimate the effective light-emitting part of the sub-light source, and the effective light-emitting part satisfies the color value threshold requirement.

[0084] According to a specific embodiment, the collimator is an asymmetric free-form surface collimator, and its surface equation is: Z = 1 + 1 - (k + 1) c2r2cr2 + A1r4 + A2r6

[0085] Z=1+\frac{1-(k+1)c^2r^2}{cr^2+A_1r^4+A_2r^6}

[0086] Z=1+cr2+A1r4+A2r61-(k+1)c2r2

[0087] The above parameters are all design parameters used to optimize aberration correction and light distribution in the optical path.

[0088] The photon energy elimination layer is a carbon nanotube array coating, which is used to convert the photon consumption that does not meet the predetermined morphological requirements in the integrated light source into heat energy; the density range of the carbon nanotube array coating is at least 1.0×10-1.5×10 roots / cm 2The carbon nanotube arrangement coating significantly reduces reflection and scattering in the light path, improving light utilization and color purity. Specifically, the carbon nanotube anti-reflection layer includes: density 1.2×10 roots / cm 2 , the performance parameters are shown in the following table:

[0089] Wavelength (nm) Reflectivity Absorption rate Scattering rate 450 0.08% 0.15% 0.02% 550 0.05% 0.12% 0.01% 650 0.12% 0.18% 0.03%

[0090] This application uses a carbon nanotube array coating to confine photons and convert their consumption into heat energy, which is dissipated through heat conduction, creating unprecedented purity for the optical path. This method can seamlessly replace the useless reflected light absorption unit of DLP and create a pure black visual effect under the same light source.

[0091] The method of adjusting the brightness parameters and color parameters of each sub-light source in the light source according to the brightness and color distribution of the input image includes: dividing the input image into regions to obtain multiple image blocks; determining the adjustment parameters of the brightness and color of the image blocks according to the brightness and color distribution; adjusting the brightness parameters and color parameters of each sub-light source in the light source according to the adjustment parameters; the brightness parameters include: highlight enhancement coefficient, average brightness compensation coefficient and gamma value; the color parameters include: color gamut conversion parameters and color compensation parameters.

[0092] The projection device further comprises a heat dissipation system, which comprises an aluminum nitride ceramic substrate, a vacuum chamber heat sink and microchannel liquid cooling, and is used for heat dissipation of the projection device.

[0093] According to a specific implementation, the heat dissipation system is a three-stage heat dissipation structure: the first-stage heat dissipation is an aluminum nitride ceramic substrate (thermal conductivity 180W / m·K); the second-stage heat dissipation is a vacuum chamber heat sink (thickness 2mm, thermal resistance 0.08℃ / W); the third-stage heat dissipation is microchannel liquid cooling (flow rate 0.5L / min, pressure drop <15kPa).

[0094] The temperature control model of the heat dissipation system is:

[0095]

[0096] Where: h = 250W / m 2 K (convection coefficient), A = 0.12m 2 (heat dissipation area), C = 480 J / K (heat capacity). The heat dissipation system effectively reduces the heat generated by the light source module when operating at high brightness, ensuring stable operation of the system.

[0097] According to a specific implementation mode, Figure 2As shown, the projection device based on the partitioned light source of the present application includes four core modules: light source module, optical path system, control unit and heat dissipation system. Among them, the light source module can be a MiniLED array (taking 1024 partitions as an example) + microlens array (MLA); the optical path system includes a collimator group, a light processing device group, an electromagnetic wave elimination carbon nanometer group and a projection lens; the control unit includes an FPGA image processor or / and a high-speed dynamic image processor (including LCD) and a dynamic dimming algorithm; the heat dissipation system includes a heat spreader and microchannel liquid cooling. The dynamic dimming algorithm includes brightness analysis, partition drive calculation and color gamut conversion.

[0098] Due to the uncertainty of photons and the diffuse reflection characteristics of light that are difficult to eliminate, in addition to beam-forming and collimating the light, this application also proposes to confine photons through carbon nanotubes, and convert their consumption into heat energy, which is dissipated through heat conduction, creating unprecedented purity for the optical path, realizing the consumption and transfer of the total energy of electromagnetic waves, and ensuring the purity of the light field.

[0099] In order to cope with complex scenes with high illumination, Figure 3 In the process, the RGB monochrome images are superimposed in the light combiner and then projected to the target. Figure 3 As shown, in multiple modules, multiple sub-light sources and input images of the present application meet the time frame synchronization based on time code or image frame. Specifically, image mixing is performed in accordance with the time frame synchronization principle (time code or image). For time frame synchronization technology, the stability and technical advantages are significantly improved compared to time domain synchronization.

[0100] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the Mini LED array microstructure. Figure 4 The partition layout and coverage of the microlens array (MLA) are marked in the figure, where the protruding part is a microlens group composed of lenses of various specifications and sizes, which are dynamically adjusted according to the characteristics of the light source (it can also be lenses of other shapes).

[0101] The dynamic dimming algorithm of the control is as follows Figure 5 As shown, it includes: dividing the input image into regions to obtain multiple image blocks; analyzing the brightness and color distribution of each image block, and calculating the corresponding brightness and color adjustment parameters; dynamically adjusting the brightness and color output of the corresponding light source partition according to the brightness and color adjustment parameters; wherein the brightness adjustment parameters include a highlight enhancement coefficient, an average brightness compensation coefficient and a gamma value, and the color adjustment parameters include a color gamut conversion parameter and a color compensation parameter.

[0102] On the other hand, the present invention also proposes a projection method based on a partitioned light source, such as Figure 6As shown, the method includes: step S101 is to adjust the brightness parameters and color parameters of each sub-light source in the light source according to the brightness and color distribution of the input image, the light source is provided with a plurality of partitions, each partition is provided with a sub-light source; step S102 is to filter out the photons in the light source that do not meet the predetermined morphological requirements; step S103 is to process the effective light-emitting part of the sub-light source to obtain the target light source.

[0103] According to a specific implementation, filtering out the photons in the integrated light source that do not meet the predetermined morphological requirements includes: consuming and converting the photons in the integrated light source that do not meet the predetermined morphological requirements into heat energy.

[0104] The projection method first obtains image data to be projected; then divides and analyzes the image data into regions to obtain brightness and color distribution information of each image block; calculates corresponding brightness and color adjustment parameters based on the brightness and color distribution information; dynamically adjusts the brightness and color output of each partition in the partition light source module through a control unit; and projects the modulated light onto a projection surface through an optical path system to achieve a high dynamic range (HDR) display effect.

[0105] The present invention solves the problems of uneven brightness, insufficient contrast, thermal management bottleneck, etc. existing in traditional projection technology by adopting technologies such as gradient curvature microlens array, vertical carbon nanotube coating, dynamic dimming algorithm and three-level heat dissipation structure. The present invention has high light efficiency, high dynamic range, low scattering rate and excellent thermal management performance, and can be widely used in home theater, digital projection, stage lighting and other fields, significantly improving the projection image quality and user experience.
