Specific implementation mode
Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a kind of structural schematic diagram of display system provided in an embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1,
The display system 10 of the present invention includes light-source system 11, optical modulator 12a and 12b and combined optical system 13.
Wherein, light-source system 11 is for sending out high-strength beam and low-intensity light beam.
In the present embodiment, light-source system 11 includes two light sources of high-intensity light source 11a and low intensity light source 11b.Wherein, high
Intensity lamp sources 11a is for sending out high-strength beam.Low intensity light source 11b is for sending out low-intensity light beam.
Optical modulator 12a is used to modulate high-strength beam according to the high-order image data of image to be displayed.Optical modulator 12b
For modulating low-intensity light beam according to the low level image data of image to be displayed.
High-order image data and low level image data are obtained by the image data from pre-determined bit segmentation image to be displayed.And
And the intensity of high-strength beam is equal to relative to the multiple of the intensity of low-intensity light beam:One unit of high-order image data end position
The multiple of quantity represented by a unit value of the represented quantity of value relative to low level image data end position.
If image data to be shown is n shared, and it is indicated using binary system, is classified as n=na+nb, height
Position is na, and low level is nb.The intensity for the high-strength beam that high-intensity light source 11a is sent out is that low intensity light source 11b is sent out
The 2 of the intensity of low-intensity light beamnbTimes.
For example, image data to be shown is 8, and by first 5 as high-order image data, latter 3 are used as low level
Image data.The intensity for the high-strength beam that so high-intensity light source 11a is sent out is the low intensity light that low intensity light source 11b is sent out
The 2 of the intensity of beam3Times.That is the intensity of high-strength beam and the ratio of the intensity of low-intensity light beam is 8:1.
Example above is accepted, when optical modulator 12a modulates high-strength beam, if the image gray-scale level of the first image data
The high-order image data of value is 11111, that is, has reached the maximum value of 5 bits, then optical modulator 12a is according to the picture number
Image light according to modulation is that it modulates the attainable most light of high-strength beam institute.For example, when optical modulator 12a is DMD, it is micro-
Mirror unit is standard-sized sheet within the modulation period of the image data, and high-strength beam 100% is converted to image light.If second
The high-order image data of the image gray-scale level value of image data is 1, that is, has reached the minimum value of 5 bits, then optical modulator
The brightness ratio of the image light for the first image data that 12a is modulated and the image light of the second image data should be 31:1.
Similar, when optical modulator 12b modulates low-intensity light beam, if the low level of the image gray-scale level value of the first image data
Image data is 111, that is, has reached the maximum value of 3 bits, then the figure that optical modulator 12b is modulated according to the image data
As light should be that it modulates the attainable most light of low-intensity light beam institute.For example, when optical modulator 12b is DMD, micro mirror unit
It is standard-sized sheet within the modulation period of the pixel, low-intensity light beam 100% is converted into image light.If the second image data
The low level image data of image gray-scale level value is 1, that is, has reached the minimum value of 3 bits, then optical modulator 12b is modulated
The brightness ratio of the image light of the first image data arrived and the image light of the second image data should be 7:1.
Therefore, the image light that the present invention obtains after being modulated respectively to high-strength beam and low-intensity light beam meets institute
The light beam needed for high-order image data and low level image data that need to be shown.

When processed, it will non-image light is further generated, and image light is for imaging, non-image light cannot be used for imaging.Cause
This, the image light that the combined optical system 13 of the present embodiment only modulates optical modulator 12a and optical modulator 12b is along closing light light path
Carry out closing light.
Therefore, the light-source system 11 of the present embodiment is sent out high-strength beam and low-intensity light beam while difference is respectively enterd
Optical modulator in, respectively obtain two image lights by different light regulator modulation.It thus avoids a light modulation
The image light of device is imaged onto in another optical modulator, shortens the distance from optical modulator to screen, while avoiding two
Stray light or light loss and light caused by gap pass twice through light between the pixel that alignment error when optical modulator is connected is brought
The loss of modulator is superimposed(It is equivalent to efficiency multiplication).
In addition, two optical modulators can the independent modulation for carrying out light beam without being influenced each other, be not only restricted to non-DMD
Optical modulator selection.
In the present embodiment, optical modulator 12a and optical modulator 12b are LCD (Liquid Crystal Display, liquid
Crystal display).In other embodiments, optical modulator 12a and optical modulator 12b can also be LCOS(Liquid Crystal
On Silicon, liquid crystal on silicon)Or DMD.Alternatively, optical modulator 12a and optical modulator 12b is different type, such as wherein one
A optical modulator is LCOS, another optical modulator is LCD or one of optical modulator is LCD, another optical modulator
For DMD.It should be understood that the type of optical modulator can also be other, details are not described herein.
