- the movement may be a rotation or a linear oscillation.
- the illumination device also includes focusing optics and a dichroic filter that passes shorter wavelength light and reflects longer wavelength light.
- Other components such as an angle-selective reflecting layer, a reflective polarizer and a waveplate, etc., may also be provided.
- the exciting light source may be a light emitting diode (LED) or a laser diode (LD) emitting in the UV and/or blue region (for example, 360 nm, 405 nm and 420 nm, or combinations thereof).
- the wavelength conversion materials are preferably phosphorescent materials, including phosphors and nano-materials such as quantum dots. Fluorescent materials may also be used as wavelength conversion materials, but they may not be suitable for certain applications such as projectors that require a relatively fast emission response.
- the absorption spectrum of the conversion material preferably covers the wavelengths of the excitation light.
- the emission wavelength of the conversion material may be broad (e.g., a broad range or the whole visible range) or narrow (single color, such as red, blue and green). Different phosphors with different emission spectra may be provided on the plate.
- an illumination device comprises a light source 100 , focus optics 102 , and a rotary wheel with wavelength conversion materials 104 .
- the wheel 104 is formed of optical transparent materials, such as glass, plastic such PMMA, etc.
- the wavelength conversion materials may be deposited on a surface of the wheel, or doped into the material that forms the wheel.
- the rotary wheel 104 is supported to rotate around its axis A. Excitation light from the light source 100 is focused by the focus optics 102 on to a small area of the rotary wheel 104 .
- FIG. 2 illustrates the excitation spectrum and emission spectrum of an exemplary wavelength conversion material that may be provided on the rotary wheel 104 .
- the wavelength conversion material absorbs excitation light at one wavelength range and emits light at a different wavelength range. Typically, the wavelength range of the emitted light is longer than the wavelength range of the excitation light.
- the excitation light from the light source 100 excites the wavelength conversion materials on the rotary wheel 104 and the wavelength conversion materials emit light at a different wavelength range than the light emitted from the light source 100 .
- the light source 100 may be regular lamps, or solid-state light source including laser and light emitting diodes (LED).
- LED light emitting diodes
- the wavelength of the light typically ranges from 300 nm to 500 nm. Fox example, many LED manufacturers produce light emitting diodes emitting at 460 nm (so called Blue LED). Cree Inc. produces deep blue LEDs near 400 nm. Nichia Co. produces UV LEDs near 365 nm. Laser manufacturers such as Sharp and Nichia produce lasers emitting near 405 nm.
- One major advantage of solid-state light sources over conventional lamps including mercury lamp is the modulation capability. Both lasers and LEDs can be modulated at a frequency higher than one mega Hertz.
- FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrate an exemplary configuration of the rotary wheel 104 .
- the rotary wheel 104 has a round shape divided into two or more segments each containing a wavelength conversion material. In the illustrated example, there are four segments: Red, Green, Blue and White.
- the Red, Green, and Blue segments have wavelength conversion materials 110 R, 110 G, and 110 B, respectively.
- Wavelength conversion materials 110 R, 110 G, and 110 B preferably emit light at wavelength from 580 nm to 700 nm, 500 nm to 580 nm, and 400 nm to 500 nm, respectively.
- the white segment has a wavelength conversion material 110 W emitting light from 480 nm to 700 nm and can partially pass the shorter wavelength of Blue light ranging from 400 nm to 500 nm, which results in combined white light.
- the rotary wheel 104 rotates around its axis, the area of the wheel that receives the excitation light changes, for example, from Red to Green to White and to Blue segments, and different color light is emitted as a result.
- the rate of color change of the emitted light is directly related to the wheel rotation speed.
- the rotary wheel configuration of FIG. 3 may have alternative implementations.
- the Blue segment may simply be a transparent material without a blue wavelength conversion material.
- the plate may be divided into as few as two segments containing two different wavelength conversion materials, or two segments one containing a wavelength conversion materials and one contains none, to form a two-color illumination source.
- the plate may be divided into more segments, for example, eight segments containing Red, Green, White, Blue, Red, Green, White and Blue wavelength conversion materials, respectively.
- the angular sizes of the segments may be equal or non-equal. When the angular sizes are non-equal, the relative duration of emission of each color is determined by the angular size of the segments assuming a uniform rotation.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an application of a light source according to an embodiment of this invention.
- a projection system comprises light source 100 , focusing optics 102 , rotary wheel with wavelength conversion materials 104 , light integrator 202 , relay optics or collecting optics 204 , prism 206 , microdisplay imager 208 , and projection lens 210 .
- Light from light source 100 becomes multi-color lights after passing through the rotary wheel 104 , and then passes through the light integrator 202 for intensity homogenization (scrambling).
- the relay optics 204 focuses the scrambled light through the prism 206 onto the microdisplay imager 208 .
- the light modulated by the microdisplay imager 208 is projected to a display screen by projection lens 210 .
- Multi-color images are obtained through synchronization between the microdisplay imager 208 and the rotary wheel 104 (the signal processor that controls the rotary wheel 104 and the microdisplay imager 208 is not shown).
- FIG. 5 illustrates a rotary wheel 104 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the rotary wheel 104 includes a wavelength conversion material 110 , a band-pass coating 120 on a surface of the wheel on side facing the light source, and an angle-selective reflective coating 122 on the other surface of the wheel.
- FIG. 6a illustrates the optic property of an exemplary band-pass coating 120 .
- the band-pass coating 120 (also referred to as a dichroic filter) allows light of specified wavelengths to pass through and reflect light of all other wavelengths. In FIG. 6a , blue light from 460 nm to 480 nm can pass through the coating and light from wavelength 500 nm to 680 nm is reflected.
- the dichroic filter 120 may also be located at other locations of the optical path, such as before the focusing optics 102 .
- FIG. 6b illustrates the optic property of an exemplary angle-selective reflective coating 122 .
- the angle-selective reflective coating 122 substantially reflects light at incident angles greater than a specified angle and substantially transmits light at smaller incident angles. In FIG. 6b , the light at incident angles less than 15 degree is transmitted through the coating 122 and light at incident angles greater than 25 degree is reflected.
- FIG. 7 illustrates how the light emitted from wavelength conversion material 110 propagates out of the rotary wheel 104 .
- the excitation light for example blue light at 460 nm
- the wavelength conversion materials 110 emit light at longer wavelengths, for example 550 nm.
- the light emitted at smaller incidence angles with respect to angle-selective reflective coating 122 will be transmitted through the coating 122 .
- the light emitted at larger incidence angles will be reflected by the coating 122 back to the wavelength conversion materials 110 and scattered there. Some of the scattered light is at smaller incident angles and will pass through the angle-selective reflective coating 122 .
- the band-pass coating 120 will block the emitted light from transmitting backwards towards the excitation light source 100 .
- the combination of the band-pass coating 120 and the angle-selective coating 122 will make the emission light propagate in one direction at small incidence angle. As a result, higher brightness of the emitted light is obtained.
- FIGS. 8a plan view
- 8 b partial cross-sectional view along the line A-A in FIG. 8a
- a ring-shaped reflector cup 124 with an exit aperture 126 covers the wavelength conversion material 110 . Since the exit aperture is smaller than the light emitting area of the wavelength conversion material, light emitted by the wavelength conversion material at large incident angles will be reflected by the sidewall of the reflector cup 124 back to the wavelength conversion material 110 where it is scattered. Light emitted by the wavelength conversion material 110 that propagates at smaller incidence angles can escape out of the exit aperture 126 . As a result, higher brightness of the emitted light is obtained.
- FIG. 9 illustrates another embodiment of this invention.
- One side surface of the rotary wheel 104 is covered with a band-pass coating 120 .
- a wavelength conversion material 110 and an angle-selective reflective coating 122 are attached to the rotary wheel 104 .
- the wavelength conversion material 110 and the angle-selective reflective coating 122 have smaller area than the area of the wheel. As a result, the cost of the device shown in FIG. 9 can be lower than the cost of the device shown in FIG. 5 .
- FIG. 10 illustrates another embodiment of this invention.
- a grove is provided inside the rotary wheel 104 (a cross-sectional view or a portion of the wheel 104 is shown here), and the wavelength conversion materials 110 are located in the grove.
- An angle-selective reflective coating 122 and a band-pass coating 120 are provided on both sides of the wavelength conversion materials 110 .
- FIGS. 11a and 11b illustrate another embodiment of this invention.
- a rectangular moving plate 130 replaces the rotary wheel 104 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 .
- Multi-color wavelength conversion materials such as a red wavelength conversion material 110 R, a green wavelength conversion material 110 G, and a blue wavelength conversion material 110 B are arranged linearly on the moving plate 130 .
- Excitation light from the light source 100 is focused by the focusing optics 102 on to the wavelength conversion materials of the moving plate 130 .
- the moving plate 130 oscillates linearly (as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 11a )
- the wavelength conversion materials 110 R, 110 G, and 110 B are excited alternately and alternating color emission light is generated.
- FIG. 12 illustrates a variation of the moving plate 130 shown in FIG. 11b .
- multiple sets of wavelength conversion materials 110 R, 110 G and 110 B are provided on the moving plate 130 (two sets are shown here).
- the light alternation frequency will be the product of the oscillation frequency of the moving plate and the number of sets of the wavelength conversion material. As a result, higher color alternation frequency can be obtained or the requirement of the oscillation frequency of the moving plate 130 can be reduced.
- FIGS. 13a and 13b illustrate two alternative embodiments of the device shown in FIGS. 11a and 11b .
- a band-pass coating 120 that only transmits excitation light from the light source 100 is located on the moving plate 130 facing light source.
- An angle-selective reflective coating 122 is located adjacent the wavelength conversion layers 110 R, 110 G, and 110 B.
- a reflective polarizer 128 is located adjacent the wavelength conversion layer 110 R, 110 G, and 110 B.
- the reflective polarizer 128 only transmits emitted light from the wavelength conversion materials in one polarization state and reflects the emitted light in the orthogonal polarization state back to the wavelength conversion layers 110 R, 110 G and 110 B.
- the reflected light is scattered by the wavelength conversion material and typically changes their polarization state. Some of the light will be bounced back to the reflective polarizer 128 and pass through it since their polarization state is changed. As a result, the brightness in that polarization state, which is determined by the reflective polarizer 128 , is increased.
- a phase retardation plate 132 can be inserted between reflective polarizer 128 and the wavelength conversion layers 110 R, 110 G and 110 B.
- the phase retardation plate may be a quarter-wave waveplate.
- FIGS. 14a and 14b illustrate another embodiment of this invention.
- multiple solid-state light sources can be employed.
- a densely packaged laser array or LED array can be configured for use as the light source 100 as shown in FIG. 14a .
- light from multiple lasers and LEDs can be combined through an optic fiber bundle or a fiber coupler as schematically illustrated in FIG. 14b
- FIG. 15a illustrates another embodiment of this invention.
- multiple light sources emitting at different wavelengths can be employed.
- two light sources 100 a and 100 b emitting at a first and a second wavelength are used to excite the wavelength conversion material 110 on the rotary wheel 104 .
- Excitation light from the light source 100 a excites the wavelength conversion material 110 from the backside of rotary wheel 104 .
- Excitation light from the light source 100 b is transmitted through a dichroic plate 140 .
- the dichroic plate 140 transmits light at the second wavelength and reflects light at other wavelengths. As a result, the light emitted from the wavelength conversion material 110 is reflected by the dichroic plate 140 .
- the light source 100 a is a blue LED emitting light at 460 nm.
- the light source 100 b is a UV laser emitting light at 405 nm.
- the excitation light from the light source 100 a excites the wavelength conversion material 110 and produces red, green, blue and white light.
- the dichroic plate 140 is deposited with dielectric layers which only passes light below 425 nm and reflects light from 425 nm to 700 nm.
- the UV light from the light source 100 b is transmitted through the dichroic plate 140 and excites the wavelength conversion material 110 .
- the light from the wavelength conversion materials and light source 100 a will be reflected by the dichroic plate 140 .
- FIG. 15b illustrates another embodiment similar to that show in FIG. 15a but with all light sources 100 a, 100 b, etc. located on one side of the rotary wheel 104 .
- a dichroic plate 140 is located between the sources 100 a, 100 b, etc. and the rotary wheel with wavelength conversion material 104 to combine the excitation light from the light sources 100 a and 100 b.
- the dichroic plate 140 transmits excitation light from the source 100 a and reflects excitation light from the source 100 b which has a different wavelength range from the source 100 a.
- the combined light from the two sources 100 a, 100 b is directed to the wavelength conversion material on the rotary wheel 104 .

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to lighting devices and systems, and in particular, it relates to devices for generating high brightness multicolor light using wavelength conversion.
2. Description of the Related Art
Wavelength conversion methods that use excitation light produced by solid-state light source such as laser diodes (LDs) or light emitting diodes (LEDs) and wavelength conversion materials such as phosphors or quantum dots can produce high brightness light at wavelengths different from the wavelength of the excitation light. In conventional devices, excitation light impinges on a wavelength conversion material, which absorbs the excitation light and emits light at a wavelength higher than the wavelength of the excitation light. To generate light of different colors, different wavelength conversion materials are typically employed. In a projection system described in commonly owned International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2006/102846 A1 published Oct. 5, 2006, three LED light sources are used to generate red, green and blue light, respectively (see FIG. 15 therein). The light of different colors are directed to a dichroic cross-prism which combine the light beams and direct them to a light modulator, which may be a MEMS (micro electronic mechanical system) device or a liquid crystal device (LCD or LCoS). The LED light sources and the light modulator are controlled in a synchronized manner by a signal processor to produce an image.
In some conventional multicolor illumination devices, a white light source (such as a high pressure mercury lamp) is used in conjunction with a color wheel to generate color lights with controlled time sequences. The color wheel, which is disposed in front of the white light source, is made of multiple color filters each transmitting light of a particular color.
The present invention is directed to an illumination device for generating multicolor light using wavelength conversion, which includes an excitation light source and a multiple wavelength conversion materials on a moving plate. By using Etendue conserved focusing optics, multicolor light having high power and high brightness is obtained. The illumination device may be used for image projection systems.
An object of the present invention is to provide a high power and high brightness multicolor illumination device.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the descriptions that follow and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims thereof as well as the appended drawings.
To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described, the present invention provides an illumination device for providing multicolor light, which includes: a light source for generating an excitation light; and a moving plate including two or more segments, wherein one or more of the segments each contains a wavelength conversion material capable of absorbing the excitation light and emitting light having wavelengths different from that of the excitation light, wherein a first segment contains a first wavelength conversion material, and a second segment either contains a different wavelength conversion material or contains no wavelength conversion material, wherein a part of the moving plate is disposed on an optical path of the excitation light, and wherein the moving plate is supported to move so that different segments are exposed to the excitation light at different times. The illumination device may optionally include focusing optics and coupling optics disposed between the light source and the moving plate, a dichroic filter disposed between the wavelength conversion material and the light source, an angle-selective reflecting layer located adjacent the wavelength conversion material on a side opposite to the light source, a reflector cup with an exit aperture disposed adjacent the wavelength conversion material, and/or a reflective polarizer and a waveplate disposed adjacent the wavelength conversion material.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for generating multicolor light, which includes: generating an excitation light using a light source; directing the excitation light onto a segment of a moving plate, the moving plate having two or more segments, wherein one or more of the segments each contains a wavelength conversion material capable of absorbing the excitation light and emitting light having wavelengths different from that of the excitation light, wherein a first segment contains a first wavelength conversion material, and a second segment either contains a different wavelength conversion material or contains no wavelength conversion material; and moving the moving plate so that different segments are exposed to the excitation light at different times to generate emitted light of different colors.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a multicolor illumination device using an excitation light source and a multi-segmented moving plate with wavelength conversion materials, i.e., a plate having segments each containing a different wavelength conversion material (or no wavelength conversion material), where the plate is supported to move so that different segments are exposed to the excitation light at different times. The movement may be a rotation or a linear oscillation. When the moving plate moves, light of different colors is generated sequentially in time by the different wavelength conversion materials in different segments of the moving plate. The illumination device also includes focusing optics and a dichroic filter that passes shorter wavelength light and reflects longer wavelength light. Other components such as an angle-selective reflecting layer, a reflective polarizer and a waveplate, etc., may also be provided. The exciting light source may be a light emitting diode (LED) or a laser diode (LD) emitting in the UV and/or blue region (for example, 360 nm, 405 nm and 420 nm, or combinations thereof). The wavelength conversion materials are preferably phosphorescent materials, including phosphors and nano-materials such as quantum dots. Fluorescent materials may also be used as wavelength conversion materials, but they may not be suitable for certain applications such as projectors that require a relatively fast emission response. The absorption spectrum of the conversion material preferably covers the wavelengths of the excitation light. The emission wavelength of the conversion material may be broad (e.g., a broad range or the whole visible range) or narrow (single color, such as red, blue and green). Different phosphors with different emission spectra may be provided on the plate.
With reference to FIG. 1 , an illumination device according to an embodiment of the presented invention comprises a light source 100, focus optics 102, and a rotary wheel with wavelength conversion materials 104. The wheel 104 is formed of optical transparent materials, such as glass, plastic such PMMA, etc. The wavelength conversion materials may be deposited on a surface of the wheel, or doped into the material that forms the wheel. The rotary wheel 104 is supported to rotate around its axis A. Excitation light from the light source 100 is focused by the focus optics 102 on to a small area of the rotary wheel 104. FIG. 2 illustrates the excitation spectrum and emission spectrum of an exemplary wavelength conversion material that may be provided on the rotary wheel 104. The wavelength conversion material absorbs excitation light at one wavelength range and emits light at a different wavelength range. Typically, the wavelength range of the emitted light is longer than the wavelength range of the excitation light. The excitation light from the light source 100 excites the wavelength conversion materials on the rotary wheel 104 and the wavelength conversion materials emit light at a different wavelength range than the light emitted from the light source 100.
The light source 100 may be regular lamps, or solid-state light source including laser and light emitting diodes (LED). For solid-state light sources, the wavelength of the light typically ranges from 300 nm to 500 nm. Fox example, many LED manufacturers produce light emitting diodes emitting at 460 nm (so called Blue LED). Cree Inc. produces deep blue LEDs near 400 nm. Nichia Co. produces UV LEDs near 365 nm. Laser manufacturers such as Sharp and Nichia produce lasers emitting near 405 nm. One major advantage of solid-state light sources over conventional lamps including mercury lamp is the modulation capability. Both lasers and LEDs can be modulated at a frequency higher than one mega Hertz.
The rotary wheel configuration of FIG. 3 may have alternative implementations. For example, when the light source 100 emits blue light, the Blue segment may simply be a transparent material without a blue wavelength conversion material. The plate may be divided into as few as two segments containing two different wavelength conversion materials, or two segments one containing a wavelength conversion materials and one contains none, to form a two-color illumination source. The plate may be divided into more segments, for example, eight segments containing Red, Green, White, Blue, Red, Green, White and Blue wavelength conversion materials, respectively. The angular sizes of the segments may be equal or non-equal. When the angular sizes are non-equal, the relative duration of emission of each color is determined by the angular size of the segments assuming a uniform rotation.
Multicolor illumination devices according to embodiments of the present invention have many advantages. For example, light at various peak wavelengths can be easily obtained. One set of LD or LED excitation light sources with similar wavelength can be used. No color wavelength division multiplexer in the visible region is required. The output colors are not limited by the LD or LED chips. It also simplifies the image projection design. The peak wavelengths of the emitted light can be rapidly changed, and the intensity can be easily modulated. In addition, when appropriate focusing and collecting optics is used, the emitted light has a small Etendue. Such multicolor illumination devices may be useful in mini projectors.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modification and variations can be made in the multicolor illumination device of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations that come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
