Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of projection display technology, and in particular to an optical path structure of an LCOS projection optical machine using a laser dual-fluorescent ceramic light source. Background Art

[0002] The projector optical engine refers to the core component that converts the input signal into an image, and includes components such as the light source, lens group, optical engine and imaging element. Its function is to convert the input signal into a projected image through optical technology. With the continuous development of optical projection technology, projector optical engines are becoming an indispensable and important tool for people's work, study and life. Among them, laser light source is a commonly used light source type for projector optical engines, with the advantages of high brightness, wide color gamut and vivid images. Its disadvantage is that the highly coherent laser will produce speckle when reflected on the projection surface, affecting the viewing experience. Using short-wavelength laser to excite fluorescence and then combining the fluorescence with three-color laser light is a common technical means to supplement brightness and reduce laser speckle.

[0003] At present, the Chinese invention with publication number CN117850141A discloses a wavelength conversion device, a light source system and a projection device, including a driving device, a substrate, a wavelength conversion element and a diffusion element, wherein: the driving device is connected to the substrate in a transmission manner, and the driving device is configured to drive the substrate to rotate around its axis; the diffusion element is arranged on the substrate, and the diffusion element is in a circular ring shape; the wavelength conversion element is arranged on the substrate in a circular ring shape, and the wavelength conversion element is arranged on the inner side of the diffusion element, or the wavelength conversion element is arranged on the outer side of the diffusion element, and the center of the diffusion element, the center of the substrate and the center of the wavelength conversion element correspond to each other, and the wavelength conversion device converts the wavelength of the excitation light through the wavelength conversion element to obtain the converted light.

[0004] In existing projection equipment, a driving device drives the substrate and drives the wavelength conversion element to rotate. The rotating wavelength conversion element converts the wavelength of the excitation light. However, the rotating wavelength conversion element is unstable and easily interfered with by external factors. For example, in-vehicle projectors are mostly used while the vehicle is moving. The bumps of the vehicle will interfere with the rotation of the wavelength conversion element, thereby affecting the wavelength conversion element of the excitation light. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical path structure of an LCOS projector using a laser dual fluorescent ceramic light source, which has the advantage of being able to stably convert the wavelength of the excitation light, improve the energy utilization rate of the blue excitation light, and increase the luminous flux of the fluorescent ceramic light source, thereby increasing the output luminous flux of the projector.

[0015] The collimating lens array is arranged opposite to the blue excitation light source array, the first dichroic mirror is arranged opposite to the collimating lens array, and the second dichroic mirror is arranged opposite to the first dichroic mirror.

[0017] The second focusing and collimating lens group is located between the static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic and the second dichroic mirror.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polarization processing optical assembly includes a first linear polarizer, a second linear polarizer, and a third linear polarizer;

[0019] The first linear polarizer is disposed opposite to the first dichroic mirror, and the second linear polarizer is disposed opposite to the second dichroic mirror.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the liquid crystal light valve optical group includes a first liquid crystal light valve, a second liquid crystal light valve, and a third liquid crystal light valve;

[0021] The first liquid crystal light valve is disposed opposite to the first linear polarizer, and the second liquid crystal light valve is disposed opposite to the second linear polarizer.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, a collimating and beam expanding lens group is further included for collimating and expanding the blue laser to a desired size.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the optical fiber further comprises a third dichroic mirror for reflecting green light and transmitting blue laser light, and a fourth dichroic mirror for reflecting red light and transmitting green light and blue laser light.

[0024] The third dichroic mirror is disposed opposite to the first liquid crystal light valve and the third liquid crystal light valve, and the fourth dichroic mirror is disposed opposite to the second liquid crystal light valve and the third dichroic mirror.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the polarization beam splitting element is a polarization beam splitting prism.

[0028] As described above, the optical path structure of an LCOS projection optical machine using a laser dual-fluorescent ceramic light source of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. The wavelength conversion optical element includes a static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic and a static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic. The static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic and the static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic have higher stability than the dynamic wavelength conversion elements in the prior art. Moreover, the static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic and the static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic are both copper-based fluorescent ceramics. The copper-based fluorescent ceramics have good laser resistance and heat dissipation performance, which can increase the laser damage threshold of the phosphor, reduce the thermal quenching effect, and increase the utilization rate of blue excitation light converted into red or green light. Moreover, due to the good laser resistance and heat dissipation performance of the copper-based fluorescent ceramic, the light energy of the blue excitation light can be increased by increasing the number of blue excitation light sources in the blue excitation light source array and increasing the energy of a single blue excitation light source, thereby enabling the copper-based fluorescent ceramic to convert high-energy red and green light.

[0030] 2. The dual-phosphor light source used in the present invention has the following advantages: First, it does not require the color separation optical components in the single-phosphor solution or the color wheel in the dynamic phosphor solution, and the structure is simple; second, in the spectrum emitted by a static single phosphor or a dynamic phosphor, the proportion of red light energy is relatively low. When red light, green light, and blue light are used to synthesize white light, the three colors of light need to have a specific proportion; insufficient red light will limit the power usage of green light and blue light, resulting in limited output brightness of the optical machine; the dual-phosphor light source used in the present invention generates green light and red light respectively, which can generate higher red and green light energy output. When red, green, and blue light are synthesized into white light, the use of green and blue energy will not be limited due to insufficient red light energy; therefore, the output brightness of the projection optical machine can reach a higher level.

[0031] 3. This invention uses liquid crystal light valves as switches to control the red, green, and blue light paths. They also regulate the energy levels of the red, green, and blue light transmitted through them. Combined with static phosphors, this eliminates the need for rotating devices in the system, enhancing the overall system's structural reliability and making it suitable for applications requiring high reliability, such as in-vehicle and airborne applications.

[0032] 4. The blue excitation light is converted into green light and red light through the static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic and the static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic, and the blue laser is supplemented by the blue laser light source. The polarization processing optical group converts the red light, green light and blue laser into linearly polarized light. The liquid crystal light valve optical group is used to control the passage or cutoff of red light, green light and blue laser, and can also control the energy of the transmitted light. The polarization splitting element reflects the red light, green light, blue laser and other light in the same polarization direction. The conversion and processing can make high-brightness red light, green light and blue laser incident on LCOS, and then be emitted from the projection lens after being modulated by LCOS, so that the projection light machine projects the picture with the characteristics of high brightness, and the projection light machine can also clearly form an image in a bright environment, thereby solving the problem of unclear picture when the projection light machine is used in a bright environment.

A reflecting mirror 19 is disposed opposite the fourth dichroic mirror 18.

[0048] The green light transmitted through the first dichroic mirror 5 is incident on the first linear polarizer 11. The first linear polarizer 11 is used to filter the green light with a polarization direction different from its transmission direction, allowing only the green light parallel to the transmission direction of the first linear polarizer 11 to pass through. The green light transmitted through the first linear polarizer 11 is incident on the first liquid crystal light valve 14.

[0049] The red light transmitted through the second dichroic mirror 6 is incident on the second linear polarizer 12. The second polarizer is used to filter out the red light whose polarization direction is different from its transmission direction, allowing only the red light parallel to the transmission direction of the second linear polarizer 12 to pass through.

[0051] See also Figure 1 A microlens array 20 is arranged opposite to the reflector 19. The red light, green light, or blue laser light incident on the reflector 19 is reflected by the reflector 19 to the microlens array 20. The microlens array 20 is used to uniform the light spot, thereby making the brightness of the projection image projected by the projection lens 25 uniform; a relay lens group 21 is arranged opposite to the microlens array 20.

The polarization splitting prism reflects the S-polarized light and transmits the P-polarized light;

[0052] A compensating plate 23 is disposed opposite the polarizing beam splitter prism. In this embodiment, the compensating plate 23 may be an achromatic quarter-wave plate for compensating for phase deviation caused by the pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the LCOS 24, thereby improving the contrast of the image output by the optical machine. The compensating plate 23 is disposed opposite the LCOS 24. A projection lens 25 is disposed on a side of the polarizing beam splitter prism away from the compensating plate 23. The projection lens 25 is disposed opposite the polarizing beam splitter prism. After being compensated by the compensating plate 23, the light beam (red light, green light, or blue laser) is incident on the LCOS 24. The LCOS 24 modulates the polarization state of the light incident on each pixel thereon and reflects it. The reflected light passes through the polarizing beam splitter prism. Since the polarizing beam splitter prism transmits P-polarized light and reflects S-polarized light, the intensity of the light emitted from each pixel of the LCOS 24 can be controlled. The light emitted from each pixel has a different intensity, thereby forming an image. Finally, the image is projected through the projection lens 25.

[0053] In summary, the static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic 9 and the static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic 10 in the present invention have higher stability than the dynamic wavelength conversion element in the prior art; and the static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic 9 and the static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic 10 are both copper-based fluorescent ceramics, which have good laser resistance and heat dissipation performance, can reduce the thermal quenching effect of fluorescent ceramics, and improve the utilization rate of converting blue excitation light into red light or green light;

[0054] The present invention uses a static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic 9 to generate green light, a static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic 10 to generate red light, and a blue laser light source 2 to generate blue light. It does not require rotating color wheels or X-prisms and other color separation optical components commonly used in traditional laser fluorescent light source projection machines. The present invention has a simpler structure and higher structural reliability.

[0055] In addition, the static copper-based green fluorescent ceramic 9 and the static copper-based red fluorescent ceramic 10 used in the present invention can respectively generate higher green light and red light energy output through blue excitation light excitation. When the red, green and blue lights are synthesized into white light, the use of green and blue energy will not be limited due to insufficient red light energy. Therefore, the output brightness of the present invention can reach a higher level; thereby, the projection screen of the projection light machine has the characteristics of high brightness, and the projection light machine can also clearly form an image in a bright environment, thereby solving the problem of unclear images when the projection light machine is used in a bright environment.

[0056] Finally, the present invention adopts a liquid crystal light valve as a switch to control the on and off of the red, green and blue light paths, and at the same time, the liquid crystal light valve can be used to adjust the energy of the red, green and blue light transmission; in conjunction with the static phosphor, the rotating device in the system is eliminated, so that the entire system has higher structural reliability, and solves the problem that the optical machine with a dynamic phosphor light source and the optical machine with a rotating color wheel cannot be used in application scenarios with high reliability requirements such as vehicle-mounted and airborne.
