Adjusting device of spatial light modulator and projection device thereof
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of optical and projection technologies, and in particular, to an adjusting device for a spatial light modulator and a projection apparatus including the adjusting device for the spatial light modulator.
Background
DMD is mainly used as a key output device for imaging in various systems such as home projection, engineering projection, and cinema projection. Under the condition of high brightness output, the single DMD device becomes unstable when exceeding the temperature limit due to heat dissipation limitation, so that the cooperation of multiple DMDs becomes a good choice.
The key point of the cooperation of the multiple DMDs is that the heights of projection pixels are overlapped, so that the relative positions of two or more DMDs are precisely adjusted during installation, the pixel overlap ratio of the multiple DMDs can be still kept to be adjusted after the whole machine is installed and fixed, and the projection pixels of the multiple DMDs are misplaced due to the fact that stress release exists on structural members around the DMDs after the installation, shrinkage exists in the glue solidification process and the like. Thus, it is critical to ensure a stable and reliable fixation after the DMD is well positioned. On one hand, the fixing of the DMD component is required to be ensured to be firm, and the position deviation caused by conventional stress and vibration is avoided; on the other hand, the fixing mode of the DMD component needs to be ensured to be capable of effectively resisting dislocation of projection images of the DMD caused by different thermal expansion degrees of structural members around the DMD under different temperature conditions. This is also a significant challenge currently commonly faced in the entire multi-DMD projection field.

In order to achieve the object, the application provides an adjusting device of a spatial light modulator, which comprises a light machine shell, at least two spatial light modulator assemblies arranged on the light machine shell, and at least one adjusting piece, wherein the at least one spatial light modulator assembly is connected to the light machine shell through the adjusting piece, and the adjusting piece is used for adjusting the position of the spatial light modulator in the spatial light modulator assemblies connected with the adjusting piece. The application also provides a projection device comprising the adjusting device of the spatial light modulator, and the projection device has all the functions and advantages of the adjusting device of the spatial light modulator.
The application realizes that the spatial light modulator can still carry out pixel-level fine adjustment on the position of the spatial light modulator after being installed and fixed by the adjusting piece integrating the fixing function and the adjusting function, ensures the superposition of pixels of projection images of a plurality of spatial light modulators, can effectively reduce the displacement of the modulator chip caused by the influence of factors such as temperature, force, vibration and the like after being installed, and improves the installation stability of the modulator chip.
