[0033] Refer to the attached Figure 1-3 A directional light uniformity sheet, comprising a directional light uniformity sheet body 2, which comprises a substrate 21;

[0034] A film layer body 22 is arranged on the side surface away from the substrate 21;

[0035] A film structure layer 23 is arranged on the surface away from the film layer body 22, and the top of the film structure layer 23 is provided with a plurality of rectangular holes.

[0036] Further, the thickness of the substrate 21 is 1000um-5000um, and the refractive index of the substrate 21 is between 1.4 and 1.6.

[0037] Further, the thickness of the film layer body 22 is 0.5um-5um, and the refractive index of the film layer body 22 is between 1.8 and 2.6.

[0038] Further, the rectangular holes on the top of the film structure layer 23 are distributed equidistantly on the top of the film structure layer 23.

[0039] Further, the length of the rectangular hole is 10um-100um, the width of the rectangular hole is 10um-100um, and the depth of the rectangular hole is 0.1um-5um.

[0040] Further, the rectangular hole surface type is a free curved surface.

[0041] Further, it also comprises a background light source 1 and a light field receiving surface 3, the background light source 1 is arranged at the bottom of the directional light uniformity sheet body 2, the background light source 1 and the directional light uniformity sheet body 2 are spaced apart by a certain distance, the background light source 1 is located on one side of the substrate 21, and the light field receiving surface 3 is arranged directly above the directional light uniformity sheet body 2.

[0042] The substrate 21 provides a foundation for the thin film layer body 22 and the thin film structure layer 23, which helps improve the reliability of the thin film structure layer 23 and ensures the structural stability of the light homogenizer. After passing through the thin film structure layer 23, the light is diffused and emitted at the required angle, resulting in a uniform light spot on the light field receiving surface 3, ensuring the uniformity of the final imaging.

[0043] By rationally designing the arrangement, shape, and height of the plurality of rectangular holes on the thin film structure layer 23, the divergence angle and uniformity of the light field spot can be improved, and at a larger divergence angle, there is less distortion.

[0044] The collimated light is vertically incident on the base 21 of the light homogenizer, and after passing through the base 21, it is incident on the film layer body 22. Due to the refraction, diffraction and scattering of the light beam by the rectangular holes arranged on the film layer, the collimated light beam is diverged into the specified field of view angle range.

[0045] As shown in the figure below, Cx and Kx are the curvature and quadratic constant in the X direction, respectively; Cy and Ky are the curvature and quadratic constant in the Y direction, respectively. The deformable aspheric surface allows for independent control of the curvature and quadratic surface type in the X and Y directions. The curvature and surface type in the X and Y directions can be designed based on the angles at which light rays need to extend in the X and Y directions to achieve the design goal. The above is the calculation formula for the rectangular hole at the top of the thin film structure layer 23.

[0046] .

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the brightness angle distribution of the light beam after passing through the light homogenizer is shown. The light spot diffusion angle is set to 60°×15°. At this diffusion angle, the light spot shows good uniformity, and at this diffusion angle, the light spot distortion is effectively suppressed.

[0048] The above-mentioned embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
