Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The imaging principle of the optical fiber scanning projection technology is that an actuator drives a scanning optical fiber to move along a predetermined two-dimensional scanning track, and meanwhile, the light power of a light source is modulated, so that each pixel point information of a to-be-displayed image is projected onto an imaging area one by one, thereby forming a projection picture. In order to achieve a good imaging effect, the optical fiber of the optical fiber scanner needs to have good coaxiality with an imaging lens.

[0003] The packaging of the existing optical fiber scanner is achieved by a connecting piece to realize fixed installation of the optical fiber scanner or by solidified glue to realize fixed installation. However, no matter which fixing mode is used, due to structural or workmanship errors, there will inevitably be a deviation in position or angle, which affects the position of the optical fiber exit light irradiated on the lens, and causes the corresponding exit image to have phenomena such as distortion, eccentricity and difficulty in focusing.
