Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a laser display speckle removal apparatus. The device specifically includes: the laser light source 11, 21, 31, and the optical element 12, 22, 32, at least a part of which is located in the light emitting direction of the laser light source. Wherein the optical elements 12, 22, 32 are rotatable, transmissive optical elements; the optical element 12, 22, 32 further includes a rugged laser light entrance face 13, 23, 33; when the optical elements 12, 22, 32 rotate, the laser beams emitted by the laser light sources 11, 21, 31 continuously pass through the laser entrance surfaces 13, 23, 33; finally, the screener 14, 24, 34 will present an image of the laser beam after it has passed through the optical element 12, 22, 32. The laser display speckle removing device provided by the invention is explained in detail below.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a laser display speckle removal apparatus, including: a laser light source 11 and an optical element 12 positioned in the light exit direction of the laser light source 11. The surface of the optical element 12 facing the laser light source 11 is a laser light entrance surface 13. Furthermore, the device preferably comprises a light screen 14, preferably a white screen, arranged in the light exit direction. The light screen 14 is located on the side of the optical element 12 remote from the laser light source 11. Preferably, the laser light source 11 is one or more of a red semiconductor laser, a green semiconductor laser, and a blue semiconductor laser. Correspondingly, the wavelengths of each semiconductor laser are 671nm, 532nm and 473nm respectively; the power is 3.5W, 0.32W or 1.3W, respectively.
As shown in fig. 2, the laser incident surface 13 further includes several grooves disposed adjacently, and the grooves are preferably etched grooves formed by an etching process. Wherein, the depth of a plurality of grooves is different, so that the laser incident surface 13 is in a convex-concave shape. Preferably, the width of the plurality of grooves is the same, being in the order of ten times the wavelength of the laser beam.
When the laser beam emitted from the laser light source 11 is speckle-removed, the optical element 12 rotates at a high speed, preferably at 10000r/min, around a straight line perpendicular to the laser light incident surface 13 as an axis under the action of external force. The laser beam is emitted from the laser light source 11 and enters the laser light entrance surface 13 of the optical element 12. Since the surface of the laser light incident surface 13 is rugged and in a state of rotating at a high speed, the optical path of the incident laser beams is changed, thereby eliminating spatial coherence between the laser beams. Finally, the laser beam with the changed optical path is irradiated on the optical screen 14 to form a different speckle pattern. Based on the integration effect of the human eye on light, the speckle structure will be continuously superimposed on the light screen 14 during an integration period, so that the contrast of the speckle gradually decreases. When the speckle contrast is reduced to below 4%, human eyes can not recognize the speckles, so that the purpose of eliminating the laser display speckles is achieved. In addition, in this embodiment, only the optical element 12 is added behind the laser light source 11, and the laser light source 11 is kept constant in the process of removing the speckles, so that the laser power and the beam quality are also kept constant, and therefore, the embodiment can eliminate the speckles in laser display on the premise of ensuring the laser power and the beam quality, and thus the display quality is improved.
Example two
As shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the optical element 22 in the present embodiment is a circular sheet structure, wherein the surface of the circular sheet structure is a laser light incident surface 23.
When the laser beam emitted from the laser light source 21 is speckle-removed, the optical element 22 is rotated at a high speed, preferably at 10000r/min, by an external force, preferably with a straight line perpendicular to the laser light incident surface 23 as an axis. Wherein the axis is parallel to the laser beam, such that the optical element 22 rotates at a high speed in a manner perpendicular to the laser beam. The laser beam whose optical path is changed by the optical element 22 is irradiated on the optical screen 24, and in an integration period of a human eye, the speckle structures are continuously superposed to gradually reduce the contrast of the speckles, and when the contrast of the speckles is reduced to below 4%, the human eye can not recognize the speckles, so that the speckles in the laser display are effectively eliminated.
It should be understood that the optical element in the present invention is not limited to the circular sheet structure provided in the present embodiment, but may be other structures such as square sheets, diamond sheets, and the like. When the optical element rotates at a high speed, the optical element is not only limited to be perpendicular to the laser beam, but also can form a certain included angle with the laser beam. The present invention can be implemented as long as the laser beam can be made to continuously pass through the laser light entrance surface while the optical element is rotated at high speed.
EXAMPLE III
As shown in fig. 4, the present embodiment is also substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the optical element 32 in the present embodiment is a tube-shaped structure with a circular cross section, wherein the inner surface of the tube-shaped structure is a laser light incident surface 33. The laser source 31 is located inside the tube structure, and the light emitting direction of the laser source 31 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the tube structure, so that only a part of the optical element 32 is located in the light emitting direction of the laser source 31.
When the speckle of the laser beam emitted by the laser source 31 is removed, the optical element 32 rotates at a high speed by taking the straight line of the tubular structure in the axial direction as an axis under the action of external force, and the rotating speed of the optical element is preferably 10000 r/min. Wherein the axis is perpendicular to the laser beam, such that the optical element 32 rotates at a high speed while maintaining a shape parallel to the laser beam. The laser beam whose optical path is changed by the optical element 32 is irradiated on the optical screen 34, in an integration period of human eyes, the speckle structure is continuously superposed to gradually reduce the contrast ratio of the speckles, and when the contrast ratio of the speckles is reduced to below 4%, the human eyes can not identify the speckles, thereby effectively eliminating the speckles in the laser display.
It should also be understood that the optical element in the present invention is not limited to the tube-shaped structure with a circular cross section provided in the present embodiment, but may also be other structures, such as a tube-shaped structure with an oval cross section, a tube-shaped structure with an asymmetric upper bottom surface and a lower bottom surface, and so on. When the optical element rotates at a high speed, the optical element is not only limited to be parallel to the laser beam, but also can form a certain included angle with the laser beam. The present invention can be implemented as long as the laser light source can be surrounded so that the laser beam continuously passes through the laser light entrance surface when the optical element is rotated at high speed.
In summary, the present invention provides a laser speckle removal device for displaying. The space coherence of the laser is changed by additionally arranging a rotating optical element behind the light source, so that speckles are continuously superposed in the integration time, the speckle contrast is continuously reduced, and the speckles are finally removed. In addition, the invention only adds an optical element behind the original laser light source, and the laser light source is constant in the process of removing the speckles, so the invention can effectively remove the speckles on the premise of ensuring the laser power and the beam quality and improve the display quality.
