Technical Field

Background

Currently, laser projection devices may include drive circuitry, a blue laser, a fluorescent wheel (or also referred to as a color filter wheel), a light valve, and a projection lens. In the process of projection display of an image to be projected, blue laser emitted by the blue laser is irradiated onto different areas of the fluorescent wheel in a time sequence, so that three color lights are generated, and the three color lights can comprise blue light, red light and green light. The driving circuit may receive an image signal of an image to be projected, which includes a red value, a green value, and a blue value of each pixel in the image to be projected, sent by a front-end device (e.g., a computer).

The light valve can modulate the light of each color into an image beam and transmit the image beam to the projection lens, thereby realizing the display of an image.

Alternatively, the light source 20 may be a light source other than a laser light source. For example, the light source 20 may be a light bulb or a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The light valve 30 may be a digital micro-mirror device (DMD).

The blue laser generated by the light source 20 is sequentially irradiated onto three different regions of the fluorescent wheel 80 to generate three colors of light (the three colors of light may include yellow fluorescent light, green fluorescent light, and blue laser), which are sequentially irradiated onto the light valve 30 through the color filter wheel 90 to generate four colors of light.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a laser projection method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The laser projection method may be applied to the driving circuit 10 of the laser projection apparatus shown in fig. 1 and 2, which may further include a light source 20 and a light valve 30.

Optionally, the front-end device 00 may be a computer.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is the first color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to the first color target value of each pixel. The first color may be red, that is, the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is red fluorescent light or red laser light. After determining the first color target value R1, the driving circuit 10 controls the light valve 30 to flip according to the first color target value R1 of each pixel when the color of the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is red.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the size of the first color target value R1, and the illumination intensity of the red fluorescent light or the red laser finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the size of the first color target value R1.

When the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is the second color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to the second color target value of each pixel. Alternatively, the second color may be green, that is, the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30 with green fluorescent light or green laser, and after determining the second color target value G1, the driving circuit 10 controls the light valve 30 to flip according to the second color target value G1 of each pixel when the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30 with green color.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the size of the second color target value G1, and the illumination intensity of the green fluorescent light or the green laser finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the size of the second color target value G1.

When the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is the third color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to the third color target value of each pixel. Alternatively, the third color may be blue, that is, the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30 with blue laser, and after determining the third color target value, the driving circuit 10 controls the light valve 30 to flip according to the third color target value B1 of each pixel when the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30 with blue color.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the third color target value B1, and the illumination intensity of the blue laser finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the third color target value B1.

When the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is the fourth color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to the fourth color target value of each pixel. Alternatively, the fourth color may be yellow, that is, the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30 with yellow light, and after determining the fourth color target value, the driving circuit 10 controls the light valve 30 to flip according to the fourth color target value B1 of each pixel when the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30 with yellow light.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the size of the fourth color target value Y1, and the illumination intensity of the yellow light finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the size of the fourth color target value Y1.

In summary, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a laser projection method that may determine a first color target value, a second color target value, a third color target value, and a fourth color target value of each pixel in a projected image according to a first color initial value, a second color initial value, and a third color initial value of the pixel. And controlling the light valve to turn over according to the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source and the first color target value, the second color target value, the third color target value and the fourth color target value of the pixel. The embodiment of the disclosure determines the color target value corresponding to the four color lights according to the color initial values of the three colors of each pixel in the projected image by increasing the color lights generated by the light source, and controls the light valve to turn over according to the color target value corresponding to the four color lights, so that the increased color lights are merged into the displayed projected image.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another laser projection method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The laser projection method may be applied to the driving circuit 10 of the laser projection apparatus shown in fig. 1 and 2, which may further include a light source 20 and a light valve 30. As shown in fig. 4, the method may include:

step 401, receiving an image signal of a projected image.

Wherein the image signal may include a first color initial value, a second color initial value, and a third color initial value for each pixel in the projected image. Alternatively, the first color initial value, the second color initial value, and the third color initial value of each pixel may be represented by an 8-bit digital signal.

The first color is red, the second color is green, and the third color is blue. The first color initial value may be denoted by R, the second color initial value may be denoted by G, and the third color initial value may be denoted by B. For example, the first color initial value R may be 100, the second color initial value G may be 120, and the third color initial value B may be 200.

Referring to fig. 1, the driving circuit 10 may be connected to a front-end device 00, when the laser projection device performs projection display on the projection image, the front-end device 00 may transmit an image signal of the projection image to the driving circuit 10, and accordingly, the driving circuit 10 may receive the image signal of the projection image transmitted by the front-end device 00. For example, the front-end device may be a computer.

Step 402, detecting whether the first color initial value, the second color initial value and the third color initial value meet the target condition.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the image signal of the projected image, the driving circuit 10 may detect whether the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B of each pixel in the image signal satisfy the target condition, and if the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B do not satisfy the target condition, indicating that the color presented in the projected image by the pixel is not a pure color, a color mixture is required, and step 403 is executed. If the first color initial value, the second color initial value and the third color initial value satisfy the target condition, indicating that the color presented by the pixel in the projection image is a pure color, step 405 and step 406 may be executed.

Wherein the target conditions may include one or more of the following conditions:

(1) and a target color initial value among the first color initial value, the second color initial value and the third color initial value is a color upper limit value, and the other color initial values except the target color initial value are color lower limit values. Alternatively, the color upper limit value K1 may be 255, and the color lower limit value K2 may be 0.

For example, if the target color value is a first color initial value R, i.e., the first color initial value is 255, the second color initial value G is 0, and the third color initial value B is 0, it indicates that the color presented by the pixel in the projection image is 100% pure red.

If the target color value is the second color initial value G, i.e. the second color initial value G may be 255, the first color initial value R is 0, and the third color initial value B is 0, it indicates that the color of the pixel appearing in the projected image is 100% pure green.

If the target color value is the third color initial value B, i.e. the third color initial value B is 255, the first color initial value R is 0, and the second color initial value G may be 0, it indicates that the color presented by the pixel in the projection image is 100% pure blue.

(2) And the first color initial value, the second color initial value and the third color initial value are color upper limit values.

For example, if the first color initial value R of the pixel is 255, the second color initial value G is 255, and the third color initial value B is 255, it indicates that the color of the pixel appearing in the projection image is 100% pure white.

Step 403 determines that the third color target value is equal to the third color initial value.

In the present disclosed embodiment, the drive circuit 10 may determine that the third color target value B1 is equal to the third color initial value B, B1 ═ B, after determining that the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B do not satisfy the target condition. For example, if the third color initial value B is 200, it may be determined that the third color target value B1 is 200.

Step 404, determining a first color target value, a second color target value and a fourth color target value according to the first color initial value and the second color initial value.

In the present disclosed embodiment, the drive circuit 10 may determine the first color target value R1, the second color target value G1, and the fourth color target value Y1 from the first color initial value and the second color initial value after determining that the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B do not satisfy the target condition. Wherein the fourth color may be yellow and the fourth color value may be represented by Y1. Since the red and green lights are mixed to be yellow light, the color target value of the red fluorescence and the color target value of the green light can be expressed by the color target value of the yellow light. The red light may be red fluorescence, or red laser light. The green light may be green fluorescence or green laser. The yellow light may be yellow fluorescence.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, this step 404 may include:

step 4041 detects whether the first color initial value is greater than a first threshold value and the second color initial value is greater than a second threshold value, respectively.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving circuit 10 may detect whether the first color initial value R is greater than the first threshold value X1 and the second color initial value G is greater than the second threshold value X2, respectively, after determining that the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B do not satisfy the target condition. If the first color initial value R is greater than the first threshold X1, and the second color initial value G is less than or equal to the second threshold X2. Alternatively, the first color initial value R is equal to or less than the first threshold value X1, and the second color initial value G is greater than the second threshold value X2. Alternatively, if the first color initial value R is less than or equal to the first threshold value X1 and the second color initial value G is less than or equal to the second threshold value X2, step 4042 is executed. If the first color initial value R is greater than the first threshold value X1 and the second color initial value G is greater than the second threshold value X2, indicating that the color target value of the yellow light cannot fully express the first color initial value R and the second color initial value G, step 4047 may be executed.

The first threshold value X1 and the second threshold value X2 may be fixed values pre-stored in the driving circuit 10. The first threshold value X1 indicates a limit value of an initial color value of red light that can be expressed as a color target value of yellow light. The second threshold value X2 represents a limit value of an initial value of the color of green light that can be expressed by the color target value of yellow light.

For example, the first threshold X1 may be 141.7 and the second threshold X2 may be 115.9.

Step 4042, compare the first ratio to the second ratio.

The drive circuit may compare the first ratio N1 with the second ratio N2 upon determining that the first color initial value R is not greater than the first threshold value and the second color initial value G is not greater than the second threshold value either. If the first ratio N1 is equal to the second ratio N2, indicating that the color target value of the yellow light can fully express the first color initial value R and the second color initial value G, step 4043 may be executed. If the first ratio N1 is smaller than the second ratio N2, it indicates that the color target value of the yellow light can fully express the first color initial value R, but cannot fully express the second color initial value G. Step 4044 may be performed. If the first ratio N1 is greater than the second ratio N2, indicating that the target color value of the yellow light can fully express the second initial color value G, but cannot fully express the first initial color value R, step 4045 may be performed.

The first ratio N1 may be a ratio of the first color initial value R to the second color initial value G, that is, the ratio

The second ratio N2 is the ratio of the first threshold X1 and the second threshold X2, i.e. the ratio

For example, if the first threshold value X1 is 141.7 and the second threshold value X2 is 115.9, then

Step 4043, determine that the first color target value is equal to the color lower limit, determine that the second color target value is equal to the color lower limit, and determine that the fourth color target value is equal to the product of the third ratio and the color upper limit.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the drive circuit 10 may determine that the color target value of the yellow light may fully express the first color initial value R and the second color initial value G when determining that the first ratio N1 is equal to the second ratio N2, and thus may determine that the first color target value R1 is equal to the color lower limit value K2, the R1 is equal to K2, the second color target value G1 is equal to the color lower limit value K2, the G1 is equal to K2, and the fourth color target value Y1 is equal to the third ratio N3 × color upper limit value K1, the Y1 is equal to N3 × K1.

The third ratio N3 is a ratio of the first color initial value R to the first threshold X1. Or the third ratio N3 is the ratio of the second color initial value G to the second threshold X2. The

For example, assuming that the first color initial value R is 14.17, the second color initial value G is 11.59, the first threshold X1 is 141.7, the second threshold X2 is 115.9, the color upper limit value K1 is 255, and the color lower limit value K2 is 0, the first ratio is

The second ratio

The third ratio

Since N1 is equal to N2, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the first color target value R1 is equal to 0, the second color target value G1 is equal to 0, and the fourth color target value Y1 is equal to N3 × 255 is equal to 0.1 × 255 is equal to 25.5.

Step 4044, determine that the first color target value is equal to the color lower limit value, determine that the fourth color target value is equal to the product of the fourth ratio and the color upper limit value, and determine that the second color target value is equal to the product of the fifth ratio and the color upper limit value.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining that the first ratio N1 is smaller than the second ratio N2, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the color target value of the yellow light may completely express the first color initial value R, but may not completely express the second color initial value G, so the driving circuit 10 may determine that the first color target value R1 is equal to the color lower limit value K2, the R1 is equal to K2, the fourth color target value Y1 is equal to the product of the fourth ratio N4 and the color upper limit value K1, the Y1 is equal to N4 × K1, the second color target value G1 is equal to the product of the fifth ratio N5 and the color upper limit value K1, and the G1 is equal to N5 × K1.

Wherein the fourth difference value is a limit value of the initial value of the color of the green light that can be expressed by the color target value of the green light.

For example, assuming that the first color initial value R is 130, the second color initial value G is 100, the first threshold X1 is 141.7, the second threshold X2 is 115.9, the color upper limit value is 255, and the color lower limit value is 0, the driving circuit 10 may determine the first ratio

Step 4046, determine the fourth color target value as the color upper limit value, determine the first color target value as the product of the eighth ratio and the color upper limit value, and determine the second color target value as the product of the ninth ratio and the color upper limit value.

When the driving circuit 10 determines that the first color initial value R is greater than the first threshold value X1 and the second color initial value G is greater than the second threshold value X2, it may determine that the color target value of the yellow light cannot fully express the second color initial value G and the first color initial value R, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the fourth color target value Y1 is equal to the color upper limit value K1, the Y1 K1. determines that the first color target value R1 is equal to the product of the eighth ratio N8 and the color upper limit value K1, the R1 is N8 × K1. and determines that the second color target value G1 is equal to the product of the ninth ratio N9 and the color upper limit value K1, and the G1 is N9 × K1.

Since the first color initial value R150 is greater than the second color initial value G120, the driving circuit 10 may determine the fourth color value Y1 255, determine the first color target value R1N 8 × 255N 0.0733 × 255 19, and determine the second color target value G1N 9 × 255N 0072 0.0072 × 255 2.

In the disclosed embodiment, after color mixing, the sum of the first color target value R1, the second color target value G1, the third color target value B1, and the fourth color target value Y1 is greater than the sum of the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B, that is, R1+ G1+ B1+ Y1> R + G + B.

For example, if the first color initial value R is 150, the second color initial value G is 120, and the third color initial value B1 is 200, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the first color target value R1 is 19, the second color target value G1 is 2, the third color target value B1 is 200, and the fourth color target value Y1 is 255 by executing the above steps 403 and 404, that the R1+ G1+ B1+ Y1 is 19+2+200+255 is 476, that the R + G + B is 150+120+200 + 470, and that the R1+ G1+ B1+ Y1> R + G + B because the 476 is greater than 470.

Step 405 determines that the color target value corresponding to the target color initial value is equal to the color upper limit value, and determines that the color target values other than the color target value corresponding to the target color initial value are equal to the color lower limit value.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that a target color initial value among the first, second, and third color initial values R, G, and B is a color upper limit value, and the other color initial values than the target color initial value are color lower limit values, the drive circuit 10 may determine that a color target value corresponding to the target color initial value is equal to the color upper limit value K1, and determine that color target values other than the color target value corresponding to the target color initial value are equal to the color lower limit value K2. The target color initial value may be any one of the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B.

For example, it is assumed that the color upper limit value K1 is 255 and the color lower limit value K2 is 0. If the target color initial value is the first color initial value R, the drive circuit 10 may determine that the first color target value R1 is 255, that the second color target value G1 is 0, that the third color target value B1 is 0, and that the fourth color target value Y1 is 0.

If the target color value is the second color initial value G, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the second color target value G1 is 255, that the first color target value R1 is 0, that the third color target value B1 is 0, and that the fourth color target value Y1 is 0.

If the target color value is the third color initial value B, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the third color target value B1 is 255, the first color target value R1 is 0, the second color target value G1 is 0, and the fourth color target value Y1 is 0.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the color presented by the pixel in the projection image is pure red, pure green or pure blue, the sum of the first color target value, the second color target value, the third color target value and the fourth color target value is equal to the sum of the first color initial value, the second color initial value and the third color initial value.

Step 406, determining that the first color target value, the second color target value, the third color target value, and the fourth color target value are all equal to the color upper limit value.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B are all the color upper limit value K1, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the first color target value R1 is equal to the color upper limit value K1, and the R1 is equal to K1. It is determined that the second color target value G1 is equal to the color upper limit value K1, G1 being K1. It is determined that the third color target value B1 is equal to the color upper limit value K1, B1 being K1. And determines that the fourth color target value Y1 is equal to the color upper limit value K1, Y1 being K1.

For example, assuming that the color upper limit value K1 is 255, and the first color initial value R, the second color initial value G, and the third color initial value B are all color upper limit values K1, the driving circuit 10 may determine that the first color target value R1 is 255, determine that the second color target value G1 is 255, determine that the third color target value B1 is 255, and determine that the fourth color target value Y1 is 255.

If the color of the pixel in the projection image is pure white, the sum of the first color target value, the second color target value, the third color target value and the fourth color target value is larger than the sum of the first color initial value, the second color initial value and the third color initial value.

Step 407, controlling the light valve to turn according to the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source, and the first color target value, the second color target value, the third color target value, and the fourth color target value of the pixel.

Alternatively, when the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is the first color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to the first color target value of each pixel, where the first color is red, that is, the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is red fluorescence r or red laser r. Referring to fig. 1, after determining the first color target value R1 for each pixel in the projected image, the driving circuit 10 may send a driving signal to the light valve 30, which may carry the first color target value R1 for each pixel. When the color of the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is the first color, the light valve 30 may be inverted according to the first color target value R1 of each pixel.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the size of the first color target value R1, and the illumination intensity of the red fluorescent light or the red laser finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the size of the first color target value R1. That is, the larger the first color target value R1 is, the longer the turning time of the light valve 30 is, and accordingly, the higher the illumination intensity of the red fluorescent light R or the red laser light R finally projected to the projection screen is. The turning time of the light valve 30 is controlled by the first color target value R1 to control the illumination intensity of the red fluorescent light R or the red laser R finally projected onto the projection screen, and further control the display intensity of the red component of each pixel in the projection image finally projected onto the projection screen.

The light valve 30 has a plurality of mirrors integrated thereon, each mirror corresponding to a pixel in the projected image, the plurality of mirrors projecting the same color of light at the same time. After the light source irradiates the light valve, each lens may be flipped according to the first color target value R1 of the corresponding pixel, so as to project the red fluorescence R or the red laser R of the corresponding pixel onto the projection screen.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the laser projection apparatus may further include a laser driving assembly 40 connected to the driving assembly 10, a beam shaping assembly 50, a light combining assembly 60, a reflection assembly 70, a fluorescent wheel 80, a color filter wheel 90, a light bar 100, a lens assembly 110, a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens 120, a projection lens 130, and a projection screen 140.

The laser driving assembly 40 is connected to the light source 20, and the light source 20 is a blue laser. The reflective assembly 70 may include a first mirror 701, a second mirror 702, and a third mirror 703. The light combining element 60 may be a dichroic sheet. The light bar 100 may also be referred to as a light pipe.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving circuit 10 may output an enable signal EN and a current control signal corresponding to the projected image after receiving the image signal of the projected image, and transmit the enable signal and the current control signal to the laser driving assembly 40. The current control signal may be a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. The laser drive component 40 may provide a corresponding drive current to the blue laser to which it is connected in response to the received enable signal EN and the current control signal. The blue laser may be driven to emit light by a drive current provided by the laser drive assembly 40.

Referring to fig. 2, the blue laser emitted from the light source 20 (i.e., blue laser) is condensed by the beam shaping assembly 50, reflected by the light combining assembly 60, and projected to the yellow phosphor region of the fluorescent wheel 80 to excite yellow fluorescence. The yellow fluorescent light is reflected by the metal substrate of the fluorescent wheel 80, passes through the light combining assembly 60 again, and is filtered by the color filter wheel 90 to generate red fluorescent light r. The red fluorescent light r is homogenized by the light bar 100 and shaped by the lens assembly 110 to enter the TIR lens 120. The red fluorescent light R is totally reflected by the TIR lens 120 and then illuminates the light valve 30, the light valve 30 is turned over according to the first color target value R1 of each pixel to reflect the red fluorescent light R, and then the red fluorescent light R passes through the TIR lens 120 again and is projected onto the projection screen 140 through the projection lens 140.

Alternatively, when the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is the second color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to the second color target value of each pixel. The second color is green, that is, the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is green fluorescence g or green laser g. Referring to fig. 1, the driving circuit 10, after determining the second color target value G1, may send a driving signal to the light valve 30, where the driving signal may carry the second color target value G1 for each pixel. When the color of the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is the second color, the light valve 30 may be inverted according to the second color target value G1 of each pixel.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the size of the second color target value G1, and the illumination intensity of the green fluorescent light or the green laser finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the size of the second color target value G1. That is, the larger the second color target value G1, the longer the light valve 30 is flipped over, and accordingly, the higher the illumination intensity of the green fluorescence G or the green laser G finally projected onto the projection screen. That is, the turning time of the light valve 30 is controlled by the second color target value G1 to control the illumination intensity of the green fluorescent light G or the green laser light G finally projected onto the projection screen, and further control the display intensity of the green component of each pixel in the projection image finally projected onto the projection screen.

Alternatively, after the light source irradiates the light valve, each mirror may be flipped according to the second color target value G1 of the corresponding pixel, so as to project the green fluorescence G or the green laser G of the corresponding pixel onto the projection screen.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the blue laser emitted from the light source 20 (blue laser) is condensed by the beam shaping assembly 50, reflected by the light combining assembly 60, and projected to the green phosphor region of the fluorescent wheel 80 to excite green fluorescence. The green fluorescence is reflected by the metal substrate of the fluorescent wheel 80, passes through the light combining assembly 60 again, and is filtered by the color filter wheel 90 to generate green fluorescence g. The green fluorescence g is homogenized by the light bar 100 and shaped by the lens assembly 110 into the TIR lens 120. The green fluorescence g is totally reflected by the TIR lens 120 and then irradiated to the light valve 30. The light valve 30 is turned over according to the second color target value G1 of each pixel to reflect the green fluorescence G, and then the green fluorescence G is transmitted through the TIR lens 120 again and projected onto the projection screen 140 through the projection lens 130.

Alternatively, when the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is the third color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to the third color target value of each pixel. The third color is blue, i.e. the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is blue laser b. The driving circuit 10, after determining the third color target value B1, may send a driving signal to the light valve 30, which may carry the second color target value B1 for each pixel. When the color of the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is the third color, the light valve 30 may be inverted according to the third color target value B1 of each pixel.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the third color target value B1, and the illumination intensity of the blue laser finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the third color target value B1. That is, the larger the third color target value B1, the longer the light valve 30 is flipped over, and accordingly, the higher the illumination intensity of the blue laser finally projected onto the projection screen. The turning time of the light valve 30 is controlled by the third color target value B1 to control the illumination intensity of the blue laser finally projected onto the projection screen, and further control the display intensity of the blue component of each pixel in the projection image finally projected onto the projection screen.

Alternatively, after the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30, each mirror may be flipped according to the third color target value B1 of the corresponding pixel, so as to project the blue laser of the corresponding pixel onto the projection screen.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the blue laser emitted from the light source 20 (blue laser) is condensed by the beam shaping assembly 50, reflected by the light combining assembly 60, transmitted through the transparent region of the fluorescent wheel 80, reflected by the first reflector 701, the second reflector 702 and the third reflector 703 in sequence, reflected by the light combining assembly 60 again, and passes through the transparent region of the color filter wheel 90 to generate the blue laser b. The blue laser b is homogenized by the light bar 100 and shaped by the lens assembly 110 to enter the TIR lens 120. The blue laser B is totally reflected by the TIR lens 120 and then illuminates the light valve 30, and the light valve 30 is turned according to the third color target value B1 of each pixel to reflect the blue laser B. Then, the blue laser b passes through the TIR lens 120 again and is projected onto the projection screen 140 through the projection lens 130.

Alternatively, when the color of the light irradiated to the light valve by the light source is a fourth color, the driving circuit 10 may control the light valve to flip according to a fourth color target value of each pixel. The fourth color is yellow, i.e. the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is yellow fluorescence y. Referring to fig. 1, the driving circuit 10, after determining the fourth color target value Y1, may send a driving signal to the light valve 30, where the driving signal may carry the fourth color target value Y1 for each pixel. When the color of the light irradiated to the light valve 30 by the light source 20 is the fourth color, the light valve 30 may be inverted according to the fourth color target value Y1 of each pixel.

The turning time of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the size of the fourth color target value Y1, and the illumination intensity of the yellow fluorescent light finally projected onto the projection screen is positively correlated to the size of the fourth color target value Y1. That is, the larger the fourth color target value Y1, the longer the light valve 30 is flipped over, and accordingly, the higher the illumination intensity of the yellow fluorescent light finally projected to the projection screen. That is, the turning time of the light valve 30 is controlled by the fourth color target value Y1 to control the illumination intensity of the yellow fluorescent light finally projected onto the projection screen, and further control the display intensity of the red component and the green component of each pixel in the projection image finally projected onto the projection screen.

Alternatively, after the light source 20 irradiates the light valve 30, each mirror may be inverted according to the fourth color target value Y1 of the corresponding pixel, so as to project the yellow fluorescence Y of the corresponding pixel onto the projection screen.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the blue laser emitted from the light source 20 (blue laser) is condensed by the beam shaping component 50, reflected by the light combining component 60, and projected to the yellow phosphor region of the fluorescent wheel 80 to excite yellow fluorescence. The yellow fluorescent light is reflected by the metal substrate of the fluorescent wheel 80, passes through the light combining component 60 again, and generates yellow fluorescent light y through the transparent region of the color filter wheel 90. The yellow fluorescent light y is homogenized by the light bar 100 and shaped by the lens assembly 110 into the TIR lens 120. The yellow fluorescent light Y is totally reflected by the TIR lens 120 and then illuminates the light valve 30, the light valve 30 is turned over according to the fourth color target value Y1 of each pixel to reflect the yellow fluorescent light Y, and then the yellow fluorescent light Y is transmitted through the TIR lens 120 again and projected onto the projection screen 140 through the projection lens 130.

The red fluorescence r, the green fluorescence g, the blue laser b and the yellow fluorescence y are projected onto the projection screen 140 through the projection lens 130 in a time sequence, so as to display the projection image on the projection screen 140.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by increasing the color light generated by the light source, the color target value corresponding to the four color light is determined according to the color initial value of the three colors of each pixel in the projection image, and the turning duration of the light valve is controlled according to the color target value corresponding to the four color light, so as to control the accumulated time of the light source input into the projection lens, implement three color pairing of the four color light and the image, and thus fuse the increased color light into the displayed projection image.

In the disclosed embodiment, assuming that the frequency of the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 is H Hertz (HZ), one period is T, which is

The rotation angle of the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 in one cycle is Y. The maximum angle that the fluorescent wheel 80 and the filter wheel 90 can rotate when the light source 20 generates the red fluorescent light r through the fluorescent wheel 80 and the filter wheel 90 in one cycle is the first angle y 1. When the red fluorescence is irradiated to the light valve 30, the maximum flip duration of the light valve 30 is T1

It follows that the light valve 30, when flipped according to the first color target value R1, has a flipping duration t1, which is

Wherein, the magnitude of the maximum flipping time period T1 of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the magnitude of the first angle y 1.

For example, when the first color initial value R of a pixel in the image signal is 255, the second color initial value G is 0, and the third color initial value B is 0, that is, the pixel appears to be 100% pure red in the projection image, and is reduced proportionally according to the gray scale, the first angle y1 may be 80, and the illumination intensity of the projection screen of the red fluorescence is the highest.

When the light source 20 generates the green fluorescence g through the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 in one period, the maximum angle that the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 can rotate is the second angle y2, when the green fluorescence g is irradiated to the light valve 30, the maximum turning time of the light valve 30 is T2, and the light valve 30 is turned over for the maximum time period

It follows that the light valve 30, when flipped according to the second color target value G1, has a flipping duration t2, which is

T2. Wherein, the maximum flipping time period T2 of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the magnitude of the second angle y 2.

When the light source 20 generates the blue laser b through the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 in one period, the maximum angle that the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 can rotate is a third angle y3, when the blue laser b is irradiated to the light valve 30, the maximum flip time of the light valve 30 is T3, and the light valve 30 is turned over for a predetermined time period

It follows that the light valve 30, when flipped according to the third color target value B1, has a flipping duration t3, which is

Wherein, the maximum flipping time period T3 of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the third angle y 3.

For example, when the first color initial value R of a pixel in the image signal is 0, the second color initial value G is 0, and the third color initial value B is 255, that is, the pixel appears to be 100% pure blue in the projection image, and is reduced proportionally by the gray scale, the third angle y3 may be 60.

When the light source 20 generates the yellow fluorescent light y through the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 in one period, the maximum angle that the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 can rotate is a fourth angle y4, when the yellow fluorescent light y is irradiated to the light valve 30, the maximum turning time of the light valve 30 is T4, and the light valve 30 is turned over for the maximum time period

It follows that the light valve 30, when flipped according to the fourth color target value Y1, has a flipping duration t4, which is

The maximum flipping time T4 of the light valve 30 is positively correlated to the fourth angle y 4.

For example, when the first color initial value R of a pixel in the image signal is 255, the second color initial value G is 255, and the third color initial value B is 255, that is, the pixel appears to be 100% pure white in the projection image, and is reduced proportionally according to the gray scale, the fourth angle y4 may be 100.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first angle, the second angle, the third angle, and the fourth angle may be set according to the material and the specific design requirement of the phosphor on the phosphor wheel.

For example, it is assumed that the frequency H of the fluorescent wheel and the color filter wheel is 120HZ, i.e., T is 8.33 milliseconds (ms), the rotation angle of one period of the fluorescent wheel 80 and the color filter wheel 90 is Y is 360 degrees, the first angle Y1 is 80, the second angle Y2 is 120, the third angle Y3 is 60, the fourth angle Y4 is 100, and the color upper limit value K1 is 255.

It follows that the light valve 30, when flipped according to the first color target value R1, has a flipping period of time

If the second color target value G1 is 70, the maximum flipping time of the light valve 30 when the green fluorescence G is irradiated to the light valve 30 is equal to

It follows that the light valve 30, when flipped according to the second color target value G1, has a flipping period of time

If the third color target value B1 is 200, when the blue laser B is irradiated to the light valve 30, the maximum turning time length of the light valve 30 is set as

It follows that the light valve 30, when flipped according to the third color target value B1, has a flipping period of time

If the fourth color target value Y1 is 200, when the yellow fluorescence Y is irradiated to the light valve 30, the maximum flipping time of the light valve 30 is equal to
