Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an optical system and an optical device, and in particular, to an illumination system and a projection device having the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] The "rainbow effect" is a phenomenon unique to single-chip digital light processing (DLP) projection devices. Single-chip DLP projection devices use a color wheel to control colors, and at any given moment, only one color appears on the screen. That is, a single-chip DLP projection device uses a high-speed rotating color wheel to sequentially project red, green, and blue (RGB) primary color light onto a picture, and the human eye perceives the color image due to visual persistence. However, when an object in the picture moves quickly, the speed of the color wheel may not be able to form a complete image of the RGB primary color light on the human eye's retina, and thus the phenomenon of color breaking, or the rainbow effect, occurs.

[0003] The rainbow effect described above has the following effects on the human eye when viewed. The rainbow effect causes visual discomfort, and long-term viewing can cause eye fatigue. Furthermore, the rainbow effect can destroy the continuity of the image and reduce the immersion of the viewing experience. The effect is more pronounced when watching action movies or game pictures.

[0004] In addition, projection devices with a filter wheel can be more prone to severe rainbow stripes than projection devices that use three independent light sources such as RGB light-emitting diodes, RGB lasers, etc. For example, due to improper matching of the color partition of the filter area and the rotation speed of the filter wheel, the human eye can see rainbow stripes. However, projection devices that use three independent light sources such as RGB light-emitting diodes, RGB lasers, etc. are too large in size and do not meet the user's expectations.

[0005] Therefore, to solve the rainbow effect described above, the rotation speed of the filter wheel of the projection device can be increased to 4 times the general rotation speed of the filter wheel (e.g., 14400 rpm). However, although the color breaking problem can be alleviated by increasing the rotation speed, high-frequency noise and vibration are caused, which affects the quietness and safety of the projection device.

[0006] The "BACKGROUND" section is only used to help understand the content of the present application, and the content disclosed in the "BACKGROUND" section may include some known technology that is not known to those skilled in the art. The content disclosed in the "BACKGROUND" section does not represent that the content or the problem to be solved by one or more embodiments of the present application has been known or recognized by those skilled in the art before the present application.

The three light-in regions 120A1, 120A2 and 120A3 all have a central angle of 120 degrees, as shown in FIG. 1. Figure 2Each light entry region 120A1, 120A2, and 120A3 includes a light guiding region 120R1, a first light converting region 120R2, and a second light converting region 120R3. The light guiding region 120R1 is configured to guide the excitation light beam L to the filter wheel 130. The light guiding region 120R1 can be a reflective layer configured to directly or indirectly reflect the excitation light beam L to the filter wheel 130. The reflective layer refers to a layer formed of a reflective material, such as a reflective coating layer or a reflective sheet. In other embodiments, the light guiding region 120R1 can be a perforated or light transparent plate configured to directly or indirectly transmit the excitation light beam L to the filter wheel 130.

The second light converting region 120R3 has a second phosphor layer configured to convert the excitation light beam L to a second converted light beam F2.

[0055] The filter wheel 130 is disposed in a transmission path of the first converted light beam F1 provided from the phosphor wheel 120. The filter wheel 130 is disposed in a transmission path of the second converted light beam F2 provided from the phosphor wheel 120. The filter wheel 130 is disposed in a transmission path of the excitation light beam L provided from the phosphor wheel 120. The filter wheel 130 includes three regions 130A1, 130A2, and 130A3, each having a central angle of 120 degrees, as shown. Figure 3 The filter wheel 130 includes three regions 130A1, 130A2, and 130A3, each having a central angle of 120 degrees, as shown. Each region 130A1, 130A2, and 130A3 includes a light transmission region 130R1, a first filter region 130R2, and a second filter region 130R3. The light transmission region 130R1, the first filter region 130R2, and the second filter region 130R3 have different central angles β1, β2, β3 (β1≠ β2≠ β3). The sum of the central angles β1, β2, β3 is 120 degrees. The first filter region 130R2 of the filter wheel 130 is configured to filter the first converted light beam F1 to form a first color light C1, which is transmitted to the light uniformization element 140. The second filter region 130R3 is configured to filter the second converted light beam F2 to form a second color light C2, which is also transmitted to the light uniformization element 140. The light transmission region 130R1 of the filter wheel 130 is configured to transmit, filter, or eliminate laser speckle of the excitation light beam L to form a third color light C3, which is transmitted to the light uniformization element 140. In sequence, the light uniformization element 140 homogenizes the first color light C1, the second color light C2, and the third color light C3 to form the illumination light beam IL. The illumination light beam IL includes at least one of the first color light C1, the second color light C2, and the third color light C3.

[0056] In detail, the light transmission region 130R1 is, for example, transparent glass or plastic, allowing the blue light main spectrum band of the excitation beam L to pass through, thereby forming the third color light C3. In one embodiment, the light transmission region 130R1 is, for example, a diffuser sheet, used to disrupt the coherence of the excitation beam L and eliminate the laser spot, thereby forming the third color light C3. In other embodiments, the light transmission region 130R1 is, for example, a filter, used to filter out other spectral bands of light, such as red or green light, to form the third color light C3. The first filter region 130R2 is, for example, used to allow the green light spectrum band to pass through and filter out other colors of light, thereby forming the first color light C1. The second filter region 130R3 is used to allow the red light spectrum band to pass through and filter out other colors of light, thereby forming the second color light C2.

[0057] In this embodiment, the central angle β1 of the light transmission region 130R1 is 32 degrees, the central angle β2 of the first filter region 130R2 is 38 degrees, and the central angle β3 of the second filter region 130R3 is 50 degrees. In another embodiment, the central angle β1 of the light transmission region 130R1 is 38 degrees, the central angle β2 of the first filter region 130R2 is 40 degrees, and the central angle β3 of the second filter region 130R3 is 42 degrees. Wherein, central angle β3 > β2 > β1.

[0058] In this embodiment, the fluorescent wheel 120 includes light-receiving regions 120A1, 120A2, and 120A3. Taking the light-receiving region 120A1 of the fluorescent wheel 120 as an example, as... Figure 2 As shown. The incident light region 120A1 includes a light guiding region 120R1, a first light conversion region 120R2, and a second light conversion region 120R3, wherein the light guiding region 120R1 has a central angle α1, the first light conversion region 120R2 has a central angle α2, and the second light conversion region 120R3 has a central angle α3, wherein α1≠α2≠α3.

[0059] In the present embodiment, the central angle β1 of the light transmission region 130R1 of the filter wheel 130 is 32 degrees, and the central angle α1 of the light guiding region 120R1 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is 32 degrees. The central angle β2 of the first filter region 130R2 of the filter wheel 130 is 38 degrees, and the central angle α2 of the first light conversion region 120R2 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is 38 degrees. The central angle β3 of the second filter region 130R3 of the filter wheel 130 is 50 degrees, and the central angle α3 of the second light conversion region 120R3 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is 50 degrees. In another embodiment, the central angle β1 of the light transmission region 130R1 of the filter wheel 130 is 38 degrees, and the central angle α1 of the light guiding region 120R1 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is 38 degrees. The central angle β2 of the first filter region 130R2 of the filter wheel 130 is 40 degrees, and the central angle α2 of the first light conversion region 120R2 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is 40 degrees. The central angle β3 of the second filter region 130R3 of the filter wheel 130 is 42 degrees, and the central angle α3 of the second light conversion region 120R3 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is 42 degrees. In which, α3 > α2 > α1.

[0060] In addition, in the present embodiment, the fluorescent wheel 120 further comprises a first motor (not shown) for receiving a second control signal S2 provided by the controller 150, and the first motor adjusts the rotation speed of the fluorescent wheel 120. The filter wheel 130 further comprises a second motor (not shown) for receiving a third control signal S3 provided by the controller 150, and the second motor adjusts the rotation speed of the filter wheel 130. In the present embodiment, in the operating state of the illumination system 100 and the projection device 10, the controller 150 controls the rotation speed of the filter wheel 130 and the fluorescent wheel 120 to reach 10800 rpm, so that the filter wheel 130 and the fluorescent wheel 120 rotate synchronously, in which the filter wheel 130 and the fluorescent wheel 120 both rotate clockwise. In the present embodiment, by synchronizing the rotation speed of the filter wheel 130 and the fluorescent wheel 120, the position of the light transmission region 130R1 of the filter wheel 130 corresponds to the position of the light guiding region 120R1 of the fluorescent wheel 120. The position of the first filter region 130R2 of the filter wheel 130 corresponds to the position of the first light conversion region 120R2 of the fluorescent wheel 120. The position of the second filter region 130R3 of the filter wheel 130 corresponds to the position of the second light conversion region 120R3 of the fluorescent wheel 120.

[0061] That is, the number of regions (130A1-130A3) of the filter wheel 130 is corresponding to the number of light-in regions (120A1-120A3) of the fluorescent wheel 120, and the rotation speed of the filter wheel 130 and the fluorescent wheel 120 is synchronized to 10800 rpm, so as to improve the frame rate of each color light in the image beam IB, and to reduce the rainbow and color separation phenomenon. In addition, the three regions (130A1-130A3) of the filter wheel 130 are designed to include only the light transmission region 130R1, the first filter region 130R2 and the second filter region 130R3 in each region, instead of including two or three of the light transmission region 130R1, the first filter region 130R2 and the second filter region 130R3 in each region, so as to avoid the problem that the central angle of the light transmission region 130R1, the first filter region 130R2 and the second filter region 130R3 is too small, and the luminous flux of each color light in the image beam IB is insufficient to completely present the correct color. Furthermore, the rotation speed of the filter wheel 130 and the fluorescent wheel 120 is improved, but the rotation speed is not too high (for example, 14400 rpm), so as to maintain the quietness and safety of the illumination system 100 or the projection device 10.

[0062] The central angles β1, β2, β3 of the light transmission region 130R1, the first filter region 130R2 and the second filter region 130R3 of the filter wheel 130, and the central angles α1, α2, α3 of the light guide region 120R1, the first light conversion region 120R2 and the second light conversion region 120R3 of the fluorescent wheel 120 are equal. That is, the central angle β1 is equal to the central angle α1, the central angle β2 is equal to the central angle α2, and the central angle β3 is equal to the central angle α3. The central angles β1, β2, β3 and the central angles α1, α2, α3 are designed to be optimized, so that the central angle β3 of the second filter region 130R3 corresponding to the second color light C2 which is less sensitive to the human eye and the central angle α3 of the second light conversion region 120R3 are greater than other central angles, so as to improve the luminous flux of the second color light C2, to improve the brightness of the second color light C2, and to make the color of the image beam IB projected by the projection device 10 more rich.

[0063] In the present embodiment, the excitation light beam L is, for example, blue light, the first converted light beam F1 is, for example, green light, and the second converted light beam F2 is, for example, red light. The first color light C1 is, for example, green light, the second color light C2 is, for example, red light, and the third color light C3 is, for example, blue light. In the present embodiment, the fluorescent wheel 120 and the filter wheel 130 rotate synchronously in the clockwise direction. At a first timing, the light guiding region 120R1 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is switched into the transmission path of the excitation light beam L, and the light guiding region 120R1 guides the excitation light beam L to the light transmission region 130R1 of the filter wheel 130. At a second timing, the first light conversion region 120R2 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is switched into the transmission path of the excitation light beam L, and the first light conversion region 120R2 is used to convert the excitation light beam L into the first converted light beam F1, which is transmitted to the first filter region 130R2 of the filter wheel 130. At a third timing, the second light conversion region 120R3 of the fluorescent wheel 120 is switched into the transmission path of the excitation light beam L, and the second light conversion region 120R3 is used to convert the excitation light beam L into the second converted light beam F2, which is transmitted to the second filter region 130R3 of the filter wheel 130.

[0064] In the present embodiment, the fluorescent wheel 120 does not have a fluorescent powder layer for converting the excitation light beam L into yellow light. That is, the first light conversion region 120R2 and the second light conversion region 120R3 are not excited to generate yellow light. Therefore, the illumination light beam IL is designed not to include yellow light, which can improve the color brightness ratio of the image light beam IB, and thus improve the contrast between the colors (blue, green, and red) and white of the image light beam IB, and enhance the accuracy of the color of the image light beam IB.

[0065] In the present embodiment, the fluorescent wheel 120 described above can be a reflective fluorescent wheel. That is, the first converted light beam F1 converted by the first light conversion region 120R2 and the second converted light beam F2 converted by the second light conversion region 120R3 are reflected by the fluorescent wheel 120.

[0066] In another embodiment, the fluorescent wheel 120 described above can be a transmissive fluorescent wheel. That is, the first converted light beam F1 converted by the first light conversion region 120R2 and the second converted light beam F2 converted by the second light conversion region 120R3 can pass through the fluorescent wheel 120.

[0067] In addition, the illumination system 100 can further include light transmission elements (such as reflective elements or lenses), light splitting elements, light combining elements, and the like, and the present application is not limited to the number and composition of the optical elements in the illumination system 100.

[0068] In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, the lighting system and the projection device at least include an excitation light source, a fluorescent wheel and a filter wheel. The filter wheel includes three regions, each region includes a light transmission area, a first filter area and a second filter area, wherein the light transmission area, the first filter area and the second filter area have different central angles. The filter wheel and the fluorescent wheel have a synchronous rotating speed of 10800 rpm. Therefore, the lighting system and the projection device improve the frame rate of each color light in the image light beam, thereby reducing the phenomenon of rainbow and color separation.
