Below the present invention is described, but the present invention not only is subject to illustrated embodiment for some embodiment.Again, also can mutually combine between the cited embodiment, be not limited only to other embodiment.
Light beam with incident for example is that white light is an example, and present embodiment can be divided into the white light of incident multiple primitive color light (viewing system and light source and decide).With general primaries is example, and it for example is R, G, B, but other coloured light also can be arranged, and it is decided according to needed band of light.Wherein a kind of design is to make each coloured light can be parallel to the incident direction outgoing of light beam, and for example also can be designed to each coloured light can press from both sides an angle outgoing with the incident direction of light beam certainly, and angular range for example is 0 ° to 60 °.When being applied to systems such as panel or colour camera or the like, each coloured light can be corresponding to each location of pixels.
Figure 1 shows that according to one embodiment of the invention combined type light-splitting element of the present invention is applied to the structural profile synoptic diagram of plane formula image display.Consulting Fig. 1, is example with the plane formula image display, and a backlight module 100 produces planar light source.The planar light source that is produced by backlight module 100 for example is a white light, and it is produced by the RGB light emitting diode, or sends the light beam that comprises three primary color wavelength bands via cold-cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL).Figure 2 shows that the spectrum diagram of cold-cathode fluorescence lamp, wherein, wavelength coverage comprises main primitive color light, promptly is R (611nm), G (544nm), and three kinds of primitive color lights of B (436nm).Yet RGB only is three kinds of primitive color lights of general normal use, and in fact, other kinds primitive color light also can be suitable for, and is not limited to the color mechanism of RGB.
Please continue to consult Fig. 1, this display panel 106 for example is a display panels, but display panel 106 also can be the image panel of capture.In other words, the image unit that can form by pixel of display panel 106.For cooperating the pixel of display panel 106, planar light source is rolled over the diameter that diffraction element 102 aperture according to need dwindles light beam via one, forms at least one light beam that contracts, and isolates the band of light of one group of RGB pixel of corresponding each light beam that contracts.

Figure 3 shows that according to one embodiment of the invention optical grating construction and schematic diagram of mechanism.Consulting Fig. 3, for example is with periodic wedge shape triangular structure at the one-period property optical grating construction 302 of rolling over diffraction element 102 second surfaces 300.Incident light 304 comprises three primitive color lights of RGB.Periodically the cycle of optical grating construction 302 is p, and structure height is d, therefore determines the angle of wedge shape.In addition, the wavelength of RGB is respectively with λ r,, λ g and λ b represent.According to grating formula, when this primaries was got m diffraction rank, the diffraction angle was respectively:
(1) θ r = sin - 1 mλ r p , θ g = sin - 1 mλ g p , θ b = sin - 1 mλ b p ,
Wherein θ r, θ g, θ b have a relation with the angle of wedge shape and the refraction coefficient of material, and it can adjust according to actual demand.Yet with regard to the diffraction phenomenon, the light intensity summit on each rank can press from both sides a special angle with incident light, but also can more isolate the difference of thin portion because of difference of wavelength, for example produces ruddiness 306, green glow 308 and blue light 310.
The refraction structure of refracting element 104 can be via the refraction law of grating mechanism of action or geometrical optics with light deflection.With the grating mechanism of action is example, shown in Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b.One incident light via a plurality of lenticule 102a on folding diffraction element 102 first surfaces carry out converge after, the light beam that contracts that forms is again by the periodicity optical grating construction 102b on the second surface of folding diffraction element 102, through the grating mechanism of action, make the light of the corresponding different-waveband of light beam that contracts be separated into three kinds of different band of light 103 of RGB according to wavelength.When band of light of all kinds 103 enters refraction structure 104a on the refracting element, for example refraction structure 104a is a polygon grating structure, and it is identical with the polygon grating structural cycle of the periodicity optical grating construction 102b that rolls over diffraction element 102 second surfaces, structural plane is on the contrary, wherein refraction structure 104a can be positioned at the incident end that band of light 103 enters this refracting element 104, shown in Fig. 4 a.Or refraction structure 104a is positioned at the exit end of this refracting element 104 of band of light 103 outgoing, shown in Fig. 4 b.According to reversibility of optical path, under ideal conditions, can be parallel to the incident direction of original initial incident light behind band of light 103 deviations, that is to say, between the triband light 103 for parallel to each other and be spaced a distance, and the pixel of the pairing display panel 106 of vertical incidence respectively.Yet on actual design, it allows some tolerable errors.If when being applied to the colored CCD of digital camera or colour camera, principle is the light source object that comes from the outside with, its difference still, and all the other frameworks are similar.As for the refraction structure 104a of refracting element 104 and depending on of the periodicity optical grating construction 102b two structure relative spacings of rolling over diffraction element 102, be to adjust according to the resolution (that is spacing of RGB the pixel of LCD) that will separate.Certainly, refraction structure 104a also can be that the cycle is identical with periodicity optical grating construction 102b, and the different design of planform.Planform for example is a polygon grating structure, and it more for example is the triangular structure of regular wedge shape (wedge).In addition, considering packing problem, can be that air also can be a transparent material layer between refraction structure 104a and the periodicity optical grating construction 102b, in other words, can be an air or a transparent material layer between this folding diffraction element and this refracting element.
The refraction structure of refracting element 104 also can be via the refraction action mechanism of geometrical optics with light deflection, shown in Fig. 5 a and Fig. 5 b.One incident light via a plurality of lenticule 102a on folding diffraction element 102 first surfaces carry out converge after, the light beam that contracts that forms is again by the periodicity optical grating construction 102b on folding diffraction element 102 second surfaces, through the grating mechanism of action, make the light of the corresponding different-waveband of light beam that contracts be separated into three kinds of different band of light 103 of RGB according to wavelength.When band of light of all kinds 103 enters refraction structure 104b on the refracting element, when for example refraction structure 104b was polygonized structure, can remove to design the slope of refraction structure 104b this moment according to the angle of the refractive index of refracting element material and required deviation.Wherein, refraction structure 104b can be positioned at the incident end that band of light 103 enters this refracting element 104, shown in Fig. 5 a; Or refraction structure 104b is positioned at the exit end of this refracting element 104 of band of light 103 outgoing, shown in Fig. 5 b.The incident direction that can be parallel at last, original initial incident light behind band of light 103 deviations.That is between the triband light 103 for parallel to each other but be spaced a distance, and the pixel of the pairing display panel 106 of vertical incidence respectively.If when being applied to the colored CCD of digital camera or colour camera, principle is the light source object that comes from the outside with, its difference still, and all the other frameworks are similar.As for the refraction structure 104b of refracting element 104 and depending on of the periodicity optical grating construction 102b two structure relative spacings of rolling over diffraction element 102, be to adjust according to the resolution (that is spacing of RGB the pixel of LCD) of separating.
For the consideration of size, for example at display panel 106 places, each band of light 103 need be slightly less than the inferior pixel of display panel 106.For example the display panel that is adopted is if its pixel size is 219X219 μ m 2, the beam size that contracts after then a plurality of lenticule 102a of the first surface through rolling over diffraction element 102 converge, correspondence needs less than 219X49.5 μ m at display panel 106 places after the beam split 2, certainly, the size of size can be done design according to different demands.Folding diffraction element 102 is a light transmissive material, and the determinative of each the lenticule 102a curvature on the first surface is as follows: one, the light refraction coefficient of folding diffraction element 102, refracting element 104, display panel 106 and those interelement materials.Two, folding diffraction element 102, refracting element 104, display panel 106 and those interelement spacing thickness.Three, size and the spacing between display panel 106 its RGB time pixel.
Figure 6 shows that according to one embodiment of the invention to have the combined type light-splitting element diagrammatic cross-section of optimizing effect.Wherein, when the refraction structure on this refracting element 104 was optical grating construction, this refraction structure also had the secondary optical grating construction of an optimization effect respectively in each zone of corresponding those band of light.Consult Fig. 6, the refraction structure 104c on the birefringence element 104 carries out the optimization of structure, with a certain polarization direction of further raising or to the open score light extraction efficiency of incident light.For example, at refraction structure 104c place, at the zone that belongs to ruddiness (R), green glow (G), blue light (G) secondary optical grating construction 604,606,608 is arranged respectively, can be according to incident angle, the thin portion of doing the different cycles changes, so can promote the efficient of beam split, and the thin portion of rising angle adjusts.That is to say that the periodicity optical grating construction 102b on folding diffraction element 102 second surfaces keeps the usefulness of beam split, and the refraction structure 104c on the refracting element 104 can there be the secondary refraction structure of optimizing again.
It is machine-processed as follows that efficient improves: meeting is by open score pass through the periodicity optical grating construction 102b on the second surface of rolling over diffraction element 102 because of incident light after, and the open score x-ray diffraction angle difference of each wavelength, so it is also different that each band of light enters the zone of the refraction structure 104c on the refracting element 104, the structure optimization can further be done at the optical wavelength of passing in each zone, according to following example, the efficient of emergent light is estimated for example can improve 5%.
