Description

Optical machine adjusting system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of projection, in particular to an optical machine adjusting system and method.
Background
In the current 3LCD optical-mechanical system, the illumination light spots incident on the RGB three-way LCD Panel are larger than the Panel itself, one reason is that the edges of the illumination light spots are not sharp (have virtual edges), and the illumination light spots cannot be used for imaging (the virtual edges are subtracted from the actual light spot sizes to form effective light spots); another reason is that the optical machine may have deformation which is difficult to predict when the optical machine is assembled into the whole machine, which causes the optical path to be skewed, and if the illumination spot is as large as Panel, edge leakage is easy to occur. Therefore, in the optical path design, the illumination spot incident on the RGB three-way Panel needs to be larger than the Panel itself.
In the existing 3LCD light machine adjustment, the center of each RGB monochromatic light spot is adjusted to coincide with the center of an effective picture, so that even if the deformation after the light machine is installed in the light machine is difficult to predict, the adjustment margins of the upper part, the lower part, the left part and the right part are reasonable and symmetrical, and the poor edge leakage of the light machine and the light machine efficiency are controlled.
However, the conventional method can only judge whether the RGB monochromatic spots coincide with each other by edge coincidence, and because the edge imaging and uniformity of each monochromatic spot are inferior to those of the spot center, the poor imaging (virtual edge) of the spot edge may cause an error in manual judgment. Even if the judgment is carried out based on the coincidence of the light spot center and the effective picture center, because the actual size of each RGB single-color light spot is larger than that of the effective picture, whether the centers of the RGB three light spots coincide with the effective picture center cannot be accurately judged during adjustment. If the adjustment cannot be accurately carried out until the adjustment is overlapped, the adjustment allowance is asymmetric, and the risk of poor edge leakage after the adjustment is carried out in the whole machine is high.

At present, in a 3LCD light machine system, because illumination light spots projected onto RGB three paths of panels are larger than the panels, certain light power efficiency can be sacrificed, in order to take efficiency and edge leakage into consideration, the center of each RGB monochromatic light spot is adjusted to coincide with the center of an effective picture through a certain adjusting means on the basis of a certain overlay (the overlay is the ratio of the light spot power outside the panels to the total light spot power at the panels), so that even if deformation after the RGB monochromatic light spots are installed in the whole machine is difficult to predict, the adjustment allowance (the ratio of the area size of the actual light spot exceeding the effective picture to the effective picture size) of the whole machine can be reasonable and symmetrical, and the edge leakage of the whole machine and the light machine efficiency are controlled.
In the regulation of the 3LCD optical-mechanical system of current RGB three-colour, can change the position of blue facula through adjusting the blue reflector, can change the position of red facula through adjusting the red reflector, can change the position of the three facula of red green blue simultaneously through adjusting the condensing lens. Due to the characteristics of the light path, when the collecting lens is adjusted, the moving trend of the blue-green light spots is consistent and is opposite to that of the red light spots.
However, after examining some conventional 3LCD optical-mechanical systems and adjusting methods, the inventors found some problems in the conventional 3LCD optical-mechanical systems and adjusting methods thereof.
In the existing 3LCD light machine adjusting method, a condenser lens is firstly focused to one side to enable a green light spot to be missed, then a blue light reflector is adjusted to enable a blue light spot to be coincided with a green light spot, then a red light reflector is adjusted to enable a red light spot to be symmetrical with a blue-green light spot, and finally the condenser lens is adjusted to enable three light spots to be coincided. The blue-green light spots can be judged only by edge superposition when being superposed, but because the edge imaging and uniformity of each monochromatic light spot are not as good as the center of the light spot, the poor imaging (virtual edge) of the light spot edge can bring artificial judgment errors, and when the centers of the two light spots are not completely superposed, the adjustment allowance loss can be caused. Similarly, when the red light spot and the blue-green light spot are judged to be symmetrical, the judgment can be carried out only through the distance between the light spot edge and the effective picture edge, and the virtual edge can bring manual judgment errors.
In another 3LCD light machine adjusting method, the condenser is adjusted to make the center of the green light spot coincide with the center of the effective picture (the green light can only be adjusted by the condenser), and then the blue light reflector and the red light reflector are respectively adjusted to make the centers of the blue light spot and the red light spot coincide with the center of the effective picture. However, since the actual size of each RGB monochromatic spot is larger than the effective picture, an operator cannot accurately judge whether the centers of the three RGB spots coincide with the center of the effective picture during adjustment, and if the three RGB monochromatic spots do not coincide with the center of the effective picture, the adjustment margin is asymmetric, and the risk of edge leakage after the three RGB monochromatic spots are mounted in the complete machine is also high.
In the course of research, the inventor researches the structure of the optical system inside the existing 3LCD optical machine, and how to improve the existing structure and adjustment method to improve the problem of low accuracy of the light spot adjustment, and proposes the optical machine adjustment system and method in the embodiment of the invention. The opto-mechanical adjusting system and method provided by the embodiment of the invention will be described in detail through specific embodiments.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides an optical machine adjusting system, which includes a light source 101, a preprocessing component, a light splitting component, and a projection component, where the preprocessing component and the light source 101 are disposed at an interval.
In this embodiment, the light source 101 may be a light source capable of generating RGB three-color light. In order to easily and clearly explain the principle of the present embodiment, the present embodiment takes a 3LCD light engine with three colors of RGB as an example for explanation. It is understood that in other embodiments, the light engine adjusting system provided by the present embodiment can also be used for adjusting the LCD light engine system of other colors than RGB.
The pretreatment assembly comprises a light absorption array 102X, a light homogenizing unit, a polarizing unit 104 and a first condenser lens 105 which are sequentially arranged from the object side to the image side. In this embodiment, the preprocessing module is used for performing optical processing, such as dodging, filtering, collimating, etc., on the signal light emitted from the light source 101.
In this embodiment, the light equalizing unit is provided with a microlens array composed of a plurality of microlens units, the light absorption array 102X includes a plurality of light absorption regions corresponding to the plurality of microlens units, and each light absorption region coincides with a center of one corresponding microlens unit on the microlens array.
It will be appreciated that the environment onto which the light is projected via the projection assembly includes a projection screen, a wall, or other object that may be used for projection display.
In this embodiment, the optical-mechanical adjusting system may further include a screen 127. The light emitted from the light source 101 sequentially passes through the preprocessing assembly and the light splitting assembly to form a plurality of monochromatic light spots with a non-light area at the center, and then is projected onto the screen 127 through the projection assembly. The screen 127 has an effective display area 128 thereon, and the effective display area 128 is an area on the screen 127 that can be used for normally displaying images. It should be noted that the screen 127 in this embodiment may be a professional projection screen, or may be a wall or other objects that can be used for projection display. .
As one mode, the polarizing unit 104 may be a PBS (Polarization Beam Splitter), which can convert incident light output through the light uniformizing unit into P light (Polarization vector in the incident plane) and output to the first condenser lens 105. The first condenser lens 105 is a lens capable of condensing a light beam, and is capable of increasing a spot power per unit area to improve a beam quality.
The light splitting assembly is arranged on the image side of the first collecting lens 105, and the projection assembly is arranged on the image side of the light splitting assembly. The converged light beam output by the first condenser lens 105 is incident on the light splitting assembly and is finally output to the projection assembly by the light splitting assembly.
In this embodiment, the projection assembly includes a light combining unit 125 and a lens 126. In one form, the light combining unit 125 can be an X-Cube (light combining prism), and the X-Cube is a light beam coupling element, which can effectively collect a plurality of monochromatic light beams output by the light splitting assembly, and then send the light beams into an imaging system, i.e. a lens 126, and finally project the light beams onto a screen 127 through the lens 126 for image display.
As one mode, as shown in fig. 1, the light uniformizing unit includes a first fly-eye lens 102 and a second fly-eye lens 103 which are disposed in order from the object side to the image side. The light absorption array 102X is disposed on the object side of the first fly-eye lens 102, and the first fly-eye lens 102 and the second fly-eye lens 103 are both provided with corresponding microlens arrays composed of a plurality of microlens units.
In this embodiment, the object side refers to a side of the optical path close to the light source 101; the image side refers to a side of the optical path close to the screen 127.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the beam splitting component includes a first beam splitter 106, a second beam splitter 112, a first monochromatic light path, a second monochromatic light path, and a third monochromatic light path. The light that by first condensing lens 105 outgoing gets into first monochromatic light that first spectroscope 106 divides first monochromatic light gets into first monochromatic light, the warp another part mixed light that first spectroscope 106 divides is divided into second monochromatic light and third monochromatic light to second monochromatic light, second monochromatic light gets into second monochromatic light, third monochromatic light gets into third monochromatic light, by first monochromatic light the second monochromatic light the light that third monochromatic light output respectively the light that closes light unit 125 closes the light, the warp again lens 126 projects on the screen 127.
By one approach, the first beam splitter 106 and the second beam splitter 112 may each be dichroic mirrors. For example, when the first beam splitter 106 is blue-reflective and yellow-transmissive, the second beam splitter 112 may be green-reflective and red-transmissive, and at this time, the first monochromatic light is blue light, the second monochromatic light is green light, and the third monochromatic light is red light; when the second dichroic mirror 112 reflects red and transmits green, the second dichroic mirror 112 may reflect green and transmit blue, and at this time, the first monochromatic light is red, the second monochromatic light is green, and the third monochromatic light is blue.
For the sake of clarity of the principle and structure of the present embodiment, the following description will be made by taking the system of first dividing blue light as an example.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the first monochromatic light path includes a first reflecting mirror 107, a second condensing mirror 108, a first polarizer 109, a first liquid crystal panel 110, and a first analyzer 111, which are sequentially disposed from the object side to the image side.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the second monochromatic light path includes a third spectroscope 113, a second polarizer 114, a second liquid crystal panel 115, and a second analyzer 116, which are sequentially disposed from the object side to the image side.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the third monochromatic optical path includes a first relay lens 117, a second reflecting mirror 118, a second relay lens 119, a third reflecting mirror 120, a fourth condensing mirror 121, a third polarizer 122, a third liquid crystal panel 123, and a third analyzer 124, which are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. Since the optical path length of the third monochromatic light path is long, the beam quality is trimmed by providing the first relay lens 117 and the second relay lens 119.
In this embodiment, taking a system of splitting blue light first as an example, the blue light reflected by the first beam splitter 106 is reflected by the first reflector 107 and is projected onto the light combining unit 125 through the second beam splitter 108, the first polarizer 109, the first liquid crystal panel 110 and the first analyzer 111 in sequence; the yellow light transmitted by the first beam splitter 106 is split into red light and green light by the second beam splitter 112, and the green light is projected onto the light combination unit 125 through the third condenser 113, the second polarizer 114, the second liquid crystal panel 115 and the second analyzer 116 in sequence; the red light transmitted by the second beam splitter 112 is projected onto the light combining unit 125 through the first relay lens 117, the second reflector 118, the second relay lens 119, the third reflector 120, the fourth condenser 121, the third polarizer 122, the third liquid crystal panel 123 and the third analyzer 124 in sequence; the three red, green and blue lights are combined by the light combination unit 125, enter the lens 126 and are projected onto the screen 127.
In this embodiment, it is preferable that the screen 127 has grid lines. The provision of grid lines on the screen 127 may facilitate the adjustment of the light spots on the screen 127.
In this embodiment, it is preferable that the screen 127 is provided with a positioning mark having the same shape as the light absorption region 102X. Positioning marks are provided on the screen 127 to facilitate alignment of the light-free area of the light spot with the center of the effective display area 128 on the screen 127.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, other types of alignment-facilitating graphics or scale markings may be provided on the screen 127 to increase the accuracy of spot adjustment.
In actual production, the components of the optical machine need to be adjusted after being assembled, so that the red, green and blue light spots are superposed. The position of the blue spot can be changed by adjusting the first mirror 107; the position of the red spot can be changed by adjusting the third mirror 120; the positions of the three red, green and blue light spots can be changed simultaneously by adjusting the first condenser lens 105. Due to the light path characteristics, when the first condenser lens 105 is adjusted, the moving trend of the blue-green light spot is consistent, and is opposite to the moving trend of the red light spot (central symmetry).
When the designer designs the light path, the light spot projected to the liquid crystal panel is larger than that of the liquid crystal panel for the convenience of adjustment and considering the deformation of the optical machine after being assembled into the whole machine.
As shown in fig. 2, taking the green spot as an example, the actual green spot 128G projected onto the screen is larger than the effective display area 128 (but only the portion within the effective display area 128 is actually displayed), and as long as the effective display area 128 is centered with respect to the actual green spot 128G, i.e., a1=a2,b1=b2Even if the optical machine is slightly deformed after being assembled into the whole machineWhen the light path is changed, the green light spot 128G is shifted, and the edge leakage condition shown in fig. 3 does not occur.
As shown in fig. 3, only the part of the actual green light spot 128G in the effective display area 128 can be seen during projection, and the complete light spot cannot be seen, but the image of the edge of each monochromatic light spot is not clear, and a determination error is caused when the overall position of the light spot is determined by using the edge of the light spot. Considering that in the 3LCD system, the image of the first fly-eye lens is imaged at the first liquid crystal panel 110, the second liquid crystal panel 115 and the third liquid crystal panel 123, and the lens 126 projects the images of the three liquid crystal panels on the screen 127, so that the first fly-eye lens 102 is marked by the light absorption array 102X, and then the actual monochromatic light spot can be marked, and the position of the whole light spot is marked by using a mark with a sharp edge and located at the center of the light spot.
As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the first fly-eye lens 102 at the first viewing angle, which includes a glass substrate 1022 and a microlens array 1021, and an image of each microlens unit in the microlens array 1021 is superimposed to form an image at the liquid crystal panel.
As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the light absorption array 102X at a first viewing angle, where the glass substrate 1024 and the glass substrate 1022 may be glass plates of the same specification, and the light absorption unit array 1023 is embedded in the glass substrate 1022, where the center of each rectangular light absorption unit coincides with the center of a corresponding microlens unit on the first fly-eye lens 102. It should be noted that the shape of the light absorbing unit is not limited in this embodiment, and may be a cross shape with a clear edge, a circular point, or the like.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7, when the light absorption array 102X and the first fly-eye lens 102 are overlapped as shown in fig. 6, a picture finally projected onto the screen 127 is shown in fig. 7 (taking a picture formed by the green light spots 128G as an example). The no light area 129G is not transparent, has sharp edges, and has a center coincident with the center of the green light spot 128G. When the first condenser lens 105 is adjusted to move the green spot, the no-light area 129G moves synchronously with the green spot 128G, so that the condition of the green spot 128G can be judged based on the no-light area 129G.
The ray apparatus governing system that this embodiment provided, the accessible sets up the extinction array 102X at first fly-eye lens 102 thing side, marks the center of each monochromatic facula for every facula can both mark with the clear sharp mark in an edge, and the effectual precision that has improved ray apparatus regulation has reduced the risk of putting into the complete machine back edge leakage, has improved the yields, has reduced manufacturing cost.
Second embodiment
Referring to fig. 11, the present embodiment provides an optical-mechanical adjusting method, which can be applied to the optical-mechanical adjusting system provided in the first embodiment, and the optical-mechanical adjusting method includes:
step S101: adjusting a first monochromatic light spot to enable the first monochromatic light spot to be missed on an effective display area;
step S102: adjusting a second monochromatic spot to enable a second light-free area of the second monochromatic spot to coincide with a first light-free area of the first monochromatic spot, and forming a first mixed spot;
step S103: adjusting a third monochromatic light spot to enable a third light-free area of the third monochromatic light spot and a mixed light-free area of the first mixed light spot to be symmetrical relative to the effective display area;
step S104: adjusting the first mixed light spot and the third monochromatic light spot such that the mixed matte area and the third matte area coincide.
Specifically, the first collecting mirror 105 may be first put on one side to make the green light spot 128G leak, then the first reflecting mirror 107 is adjusted to make the blue light spot 128B coincide with the green light spot 128G, then the third reflecting mirror 120 is adjusted to make the red light spot 128R symmetrical to the blue-green mixed light spot, and finally the first collecting mirror 105 is adjusted to make the three light spots coincide. Because the uniformity of each light spot edge is obviously inferior to that of the light spot center (not specifically shown in the embodiment), the centers of the two light spots can be ensured to coincide by overlapping the non-light areas of the two light spots, and the uniformity problem or the judgment error possibly caused by the coincidence of the two light spot edges is avoided.
Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 shows a case when the first mirror 107 is adjusted to make the blue light spot 128B coincide with the green light spot 128G, wherein 128B is the actual blue light spot, and 130G and 130D constitute the light-free area of the green light spot, i.e. the two areas 129G, 130B and 130D in fig. 7 constitute the light-free area (not shown) of the blue light spot. And the area of the no light area of the blue light and the no light area 129G of the green light are equal, and the edge is sharp. When the two light spots are not completely coincident, a portion of the non-light area of the blue light spot 128B will appear green and a portion of the non-light area of the green light spot 130G will appear blue, with only 130D still having no light, but the area of the light spot is reduced compared to 129G, 130D. The portion where the blue and green light coincide will appear cyan. Therefore, by eliminating the blue and green tones at the edge of 129G, the centers of blue spot 128B and green spot 128G can be made to coincide completely.
Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 shows a process of adjusting the third reflector 120 to make the red light spot 128R symmetrical to the blue-green light spot after the blue-green light spots are completely overlapped. 128C indicates a cyan spot after overlapping cyan, 129C indicates a no light area of the cyan spot, and 129C and 129G have the same size as a no light area of a blue spot not shown in the figure. The red light passes through a longer optical path, and the imaging is worse than that of a blue-green light spot, so the edge uniformity is worse, and the superiority of the judgment of a no light area provided by the scheme is more obvious. Since the movement trend of the red spot 128R is opposite to that of the cyan spot 128C when the first condenser lens 105 is adjusted, the red spot 128R and the cyan spot 128C need to be adjusted to be symmetrical, so that x is a distance between x and y1=x2,y1=y2. Preferably, a grid can be arranged on the screen 127, so that adjustment and judgment are facilitated. When the red spot 128R and the cyan spot 128C are completely symmetrical, the first condenser lens 105 is adjusted to make their centers coincide, and the coincidence determination process is similar to that of fig. 8, and reference can be made to the above description about fig. 8.
Third embodiment
Referring to fig. 12, the present embodiment provides an optical-mechanical adjusting method, which can be applied to the optical-mechanical adjusting system provided in the first embodiment, and the optical-mechanical adjusting method includes:
step S201: adjusting a first monochromatic light spot to enable a first non-light area of the first monochromatic light spot to coincide with the center of an effective display area;
step S202: adjusting a second monochromatic light spot to enable a second light-free area of the second monochromatic light spot to coincide with the first light-free area, and forming a first mixed light spot;
step S203: and adjusting the third monochromatic light spot to enable a third light-free area of the third monochromatic light spot to be overlapped with the mixed light-free area of the first mixed light plate.
The most difference from the second embodiment is that in this embodiment, the first condenser lens 105 can be adjusted to make the center of the green light spot 128G coincide with the center of the effective display area 128 (the green light can be adjusted only by the first condenser lens 105), and then the first reflector 107 and the third reflector 120 can be adjusted to make the central non-light areas of the blue light spot 128B and the red light spot 128R coincide with the center of the effective display area 128. Preferably, when the size of the effective display area 128 is determined, the size of the non-light area of the RGB single-color light spot is also determined, so that by making a rectangular mark 129 on the screen 127, as shown in fig. 10, when the non-light area of each single color coincides with the rectangular mark 129, that is, the center of the representative light spot coincides with the center of the effective display area 128.
In summary, the system and the method for adjusting an optical machine provided in the embodiments of the present invention mark the center of each monochromatic spot by the light absorption array disposed on the object side of the light equalizing unit, so that each spot can be marked by a mark with a clear and sharp edge, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of adjusting the optical machine, reducing the risk of edge leakage after being loaded into the optical machine, improving the yield, and reducing the production cost. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
