Nowadays, Liquid Crystal On Silicon (LCOS) projection imaging systems have been applied to various scenes in life, wherein the LCOS projection imaging systems generally adopted by those skilled in the art are generally single-chip LCOS projection systems or three-chip LCOS projection systems, and Light bulbs or Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used as Light sources. Further, the imaging principle of the monolithic LCOS projection system can be as shown in fig. 1, where 101 is a light source, 102 is a PBS prism, 103 is an LCOS chip, and 104 is a projection lens. The light source 101 may be a light bulb or an LED light source, which sequentially emits sequential red, green, and blue lights, and when the light passes through the 102PBS prism, the light with a certain polarization state (e.g., S light) is reflected onto the 103LCOS chip for modulation, and after modulation, the polarization state is deflected by 90 degrees, and then the light passes through the PBS prism and enters the projection lens 104, and finally the formed monochromatic image will form a color image through the integration effect of human eyes. The imaging principle of the three-chip LCOS projection system can be as shown in fig. 2, in which 201 is a light source, 202, 203, 204 are dichroic chips, 205, 207, 209 are PBS prisms, 206, 208, 210 are LCOS chips for processing blue, red, green light, respectively, and 211 is an X-cube three-color light-combining prism. The light source 201 is a bulb or an LED light source, and is divided into red, green, and blue tricolor lights after passing through dichroic plates 202, 203, and 204, the three light beams form a lighting source of a responsive LCOS panel after passing through PBS prisms 205, 207, and 209, and then are emitted after being modulated on the LCOS, and monochromatic light images formed after being combined at a three-color light combining prism 211 are finally superimposed through space to form a color image.
