Description

Light source system, light source assembly, display device and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of projection, in particular to a light source system, a light source assembly, display equipment and a control method of the display equipment.
Background
This section is intended to provide a background or context to the embodiments recited in the claims. The description herein is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.
At present, the projection system mainly has four methods for displaying a High-Dynamic Range (HDR): two-chip spatial Light modulator technology represented by Dolby Vision technology, Barco's dynamic aperture technology, Light steering (Light steering) technology, and local dimming (local dimming) technology similar to that employed by LED backlight LCDs. The local backlight adjusting technology adopts a laser array as a light source of the projection equipment, each laser is responsible for the illumination of one area, and the luminous intensity of the lasers is dynamically controlled according to the peak brightness of each area of a picture during projection display so as to realize high-contrast display. The method avoids unnecessary light energy loss while realizing high contrast, but the light source structure and the modulation process are complicated, and the influence caused by different aging degrees cannot be avoided.
HDR display of the display device can also be achieved using a dual axis scanning mirror. A double-shaft scanning mirror is a device for realizing light beam deflection, a typical double-shaft scanning mirror is a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) optical cross connector, which is mainly used as an all-optical switch and applied to the field of optical communication, light beams entering from an input port array are changed into collimated parallel light beams after passing through a lens array, two Micro-mirror arrays which are parallel to each other form an angle of 45 degrees with the input light beams, and the light beams are mutually exchanged by utilizing two reflections of the Micro-mirror arrays and then vertically emitted to an output port array. The micro mirrors in the micro mirror array are driven by electrostatic force, the deflection angle of the micro mirrors can be accurately controlled by controlling the driving voltage on the corresponding electrodes of each micro mirror, and the micro mirrors have two degrees of freedom in a plane, so that the exchange between any two ports can be realized.
If the biaxial scanning mirror is applied to a light source system and is used for pre-modulating illumination light, the light field distribution irradiated on the spatial light modulator can be conveniently controlled, so that high light efficiency can be obtained on one hand, and HDR display can be realized on the other hand. However, this system has the disadvantage of requiring the number of light source emitters to be consistent with the number of channels of the two-axis scanning mirror. If HDR is to be achieved, more than one hundred partitions are needed, which means more than one hundred luminaires are needed.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
The invention provides a light source system beneficial to realizing HDR display, light emitted by the light source system has light and shade distribution, and is beneficial to improving the contrast of an image emitted by display equipment adopting the light source system and enriching the light and shade details and the hierarchical sense of the image.
The light source system provided by the invention can be applied to display equipment, and is particularly suitable for projection equipment such as commercial education projectors, miniature laser projection and cinema projectors. The embodiment of the invention is described by taking the display device as a projection device as an example, and it is understood that the light source system can also be applied to other types of display devices such as a laser television.
Referring to fig. 1-2, a display device 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a light source system 100, a light modulation device 160, and a control device 800. Wherein, the light source system 100 is used for emitting a premodulated light field with a bright-dark distribution; the light modulation device 160 is used for modulating the light field emitted by the light source system 100; the control device 800 is used for sending out a deflection signal for controlling the optical switch 130 in the light source system 100 and a modulation signal for controlling the light modulation device 160 according to an image signal of an image to be displayed. Through the two-stage modulation of the optical switch 130 and the light modulation device 160 in the light source system 100, a high-contrast HDR display effect can be achieved.
Further, the light source system 100 includes a light source 110, a power distribution device 120, and an optical switch 130. A light source 110 for emitting M beams of first light; a power distribution device 120, configured to divide the M beams of first light into N beams of second light according to a preset manner; the optical switch 130 is configured to adjust a transmission direction of each beam of second light according to the deflection signal, so that the adjusted second light exits from the corresponding output channel and obtains third light. N and M may be the same or different.
In the present embodiment, a laser is taken as an example of the light source 110, the light source 110 includes M light emitters 111, and each light emitter 111 is configured to emit a first light beam; in other embodiments, other types of Light sources may also be used, some examples being arc lamp Light sources, Light Emitting Diode (LED) Light sources, fluorescent Light sources, and the like. The light source 110 may be white light, blue light, green light, red light, ultraviolet light, or the like. The light source 110 comprises at least one light emitter 111, each light emitter 111 comprises one, two lasers or laser arrays, and the number of the lasers can be selected according to actual needs.
As shown in fig. 1, the power distribution apparatus 120 includes: a plurality of input waveguides 121, a power distribution region 122, and a plurality of output waveguides 123. Each beam of first light emitted from the light source 110 enters the power distribution region 122 through one input waveguide 121, and each beam of second light after being uniformly mixed and distributed is output by one output waveguide 123. In this embodiment, the M beams of the first light are directly distributed or mixed in the power distribution region 122 and then uniformly redistributed into N beams of the second light. In one embodiment, the power distribution device 120 includes a multi-stage power divider, and each stage of power divider can divide each beam of light output from the previous stage into at least two beams of light output again according to a preset ratio. For example, the first stage power splitter splits one beam of the first light into 2 beams of the first light at a preset ratio, the second stage power splitter splits the 2 beams of the first light output from the first stage power splitter into 2 beams of the first light again at a preset ratio, and so on to obtain 4 beams of the first light … ….
The input waveguide 121 and the output waveguide 123 may be optical fibers or waveguides, and the frequency, the polarization state, and the transmission direction of the light beams transmitted by the input waveguide 121 and the output waveguide 123 may be the same or different, that is, the two may be single-mode or multi-mode in terms of transmission mode. Because the power distribution device 120 can convert the M beams of first light into N beams of second light, when M is less than N, the requirement for the number of the light emitters 111 in the light source 110 can be greatly reduced, and the number of the light emitters 111 can be less than the number of the input ports of the optical switch 130, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the system, reducing the cost of the light source system, and improving the heat dissipation performance.
As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the optical switch 130 is described by taking a biaxial scanning mirror as an example; in other embodiments, other devices or components may be used to implement the functionality of the optical switch, such as a beam splitter or the like. Optical switch 130 includes an input 131, a first deflection member 132, a second deflection member 133, and an output 134. Wherein the input end 131 comprises one or more input channels 131a, the output end 134 comprises one or more output channels 134a, the first deflection member 132 comprises one or more first deflection units 132a, and the second deflection member 133 comprises one or more second deflection units 133 a. Each beam of second light enters the optical switch 130 through one input channel 131a and then is incident on the first deflection unit 132a corresponding to the first deflection component 132. According to the deflection signal sent by the control device 800, each first deflection unit 132a reflects each received second light beam to the second deflection unit 133a of the second deflection component 133, and the second deflection component 133 reflects each second light beam to the corresponding output channel 134a according to the deflection signal sent by the control device 800, thereby implementing the first modulation of the light field. The first deflection unit 132a and the second deflection unit 133a may be micro mirrors, and deflect light according to a deflection signal from the control device 800.
As shown in fig. 1, the light modulation device 160 is configured to modulate the third light emitted from the optical switch 130 in the light source system 100 according to the modulation signal. The third light is incident to the light modulation device 160 after being relayed, the light modulation device 160 performs secondary modulation on the third light, and the light after the secondary modulation is projected onto the screen through the projection lens 140. Specifically, some examples of the light modulation Device 160 are a Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD), a Liquid Crystal On Silicon (LCOS), a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel.
In one embodiment, the control device 800 is used for sending a deflection signal to the optical switch 130 and a modulation signal to the light modulation device 160 according to an image signal of an image to be displayed, and is further used for sending a light quantity signal for adjusting the light emitting power of the light source 110 according to the brightness data of the image to be displayed. Since the brightness of the images of different frames is different and the luminous flux required by each frame of image is also different, the control device 800 can send out a light quantity signal to adjust the light emitting power of the light source, so that the luminous flux entering the power distribution device 120 can meet the display brightness requirement of the image of the current frame, thereby achieving the effect of saving energy.
In addition, the light source system 100 in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a guiding element known in the art, such as a relay lens, a prism, etc., which are not illustrated herein.
In this embodiment, the power distribution device 120 is configured to uniformly distribute the power of the M beams of first light input and obtain N beams of second light, that is, the M beams of first light entering from the input waveguide 121 are uniformly mixed and distributed into N beams of second light. The advantages of incorporating the power distribution device 120 in the structural design of the light source 110 include, in addition to the advantages of reducing the number of the light emitters 111: when one or more of the M luminous bodies 111 in the light source 110 is defective, since the second light received by the optical switch 130 is uniformly redistributed by the power distribution device 120, the image only has an overall brightness reduction, and no dead pixel occurs. In addition, when each light source illuminant 111 is responsible for illumination of one block, the requirement of the system on the consistency of the light emitting wavelength of the light source is higher, and visible chromatic aberration is caused by the inconsistency of the light emitting wavelength caused by inconsistency of light source type selection, working current and aging; and laser speckle caused by the difference of the central wavelength of the first light emitted by the light source 110 can also be eliminated by the power distribution device, so that the speckle phenomenon is improved.
Referring to fig. 3, the display device 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention mainly differs from the display device 10 in that: the display apparatus 20 includes a light source assembly 200, and the light source assembly 200 includes 3 light source systems 200a, 200b, 200 c.

By utilizing the visual persistence characteristic of human eyes, the modulated light field distribution can obtain a color image after being emitted by the projection lens, thereby improving the coverage rate of a color gamut space and being beneficial to simplifying the system structure.

Fig. 9 shows the illumination field without power divider and with a damaged illuminant, which is directed to the spatial light modulator, and the projected image is as shown in fig. 10, from which it can be seen that there is a dark spot, i.e. a projected dead spot, at the position corresponding to the damaged illuminant. Fig. 11 is a diagram of an illumination field with a power divider directed toward a spatial light modulator when a light is broken, and it can be seen that the brightness of the field is somewhat reduced, but there is no dead spot area, so that the final projected image is only reduced in brightness, but no projected dead spot appears, as shown in fig. 12. As can be seen from fig. 7-12, when one or more of the luminaries in the light source have a problem, the second light received by the optical switch is uniformly redistributed by the power distribution device, so that the image only has an overall brightness reduction, and no dead pixel occurs, which is beneficial to improving the quality of the projected image when the light source has a problem.
