Description

Projection arrangement
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of display device, relate in particular to a kind of projection arrangement.
Background technology
Fig. 1 is a kind of synoptic diagram of existing projection arrangement.With reference to Fig. 1, existing projection arrangement 100 comprises a lamp source 110, a plurality of lens 120a, 120b, a catoptron 130, a prism group 140, a digital micro-mirror device (digital micro-mirror device, DMD) 150 and one projection lens 160.
Prism group 140 is made up of prism 142 and prism 146, and wherein prism 142 has surperficial 144a, 144b, 144c, and prism 146 has surperficial 148a, 148b.144b is relative with surperficial 148b on the surface, and has a gap between surperficial 144b and the surperficial 148b.Prism 146 is in order to the optical path difference of compensation light in prism 142.
Digital micro-mirror device 150 configurations are adjacent to surperficial 144a, and projection lens 160 configurations are adjacent to surperficial 144c.Catoptron 130 is disposed between lamp source 110 and the prism group 140.Lens 120a is configured between lamp source 110 and the catoptron 130, and lens 120b is disposed between catoptron 130 and the prism group 140.
Lamp source 110 is suitable for sending an illuminating bundle B1, behind this illuminating bundle B1 process lens 120a, and can be via catoptron 130 reflections.Afterwards, illuminating bundle B1 can be through lens 120b and from surperficial 148a entrance prism 142, and is passed to digital micro-mirror device 150 by surperficial 148b, surperficial 144b and surperficial 144a in regular turn.Digital micro-mirror device 150 can convert illuminating bundle B1 to image beam B2, and with its reflected back surface 144b.Then, surperficial 144b can reflected image light beam B2 so that image beam B2 by surperficial 144c incident projection lens 160.Projection lens 160 be in order to image strip B2 projection on screen (not illustrating), on screen, to form image.
In the prior art, lens 120a and lens 120b be in order to converging the illuminating bundle B1 that lamp source 110 is provided, so that it is when being passed to digital micro-mirror device 150, sectional area conforms to the area of the active surface of digital micro-mirror device 150.Therefore, projection arrangement 100 inside need have enough spaces just can make illuminating bundle B1 that enough bang paths long (path length) are arranged, and so the sectional area of illuminating bundle B1 could conform to the area of active surface.In other words, in the framework of existing projection arrangement 100, have enough bang paths long in order to make illuminating bundle B1, the distance between each element can't be reduced.Therefore, the framework of existing projection arrangement 100 obviously can't meet the trend of the small size of projection arrangement pursuit now.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of projection arrangement, it has the little advantage of volume.
