When voltage is applied to the pixel from the outside, the input S polarized light passes through the liquid crystal layer, the polarization direction is deflected, the S polarized light reaches the bottom and is reflected back to output P polarized light, the P polarized light directly passes through the PBS prism and enters the transmission light path, and the pixel presents a bright state and forms an image on a screen.
In order to ensure that the LCOS chip works normally, the polarization states of the light irradiated on the LCOS chip must be consistent, but when a plurality of laser light sources exist, since the polarization state of the laser light emitted by each laser light source may be different, the polarization states of the laser light sources need to be changed so that all the light irradiated on the LCOS chip is consistent.

The PS converter generally consists of a plurality of pieces of coated glass and a half-wave plate, and the laser passes through the plurality of pieces of coated glass and the half-wave plate, both of which have losses, resulting in low efficiency.

In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the drawings in the following description are only some examples of the invention, and that for a person skilled in the art, other drawings and embodiments can be derived from them without inventive effort.
The present invention provides an embodiment of a light combining device for a multi-color laser light source of an LCOS, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, including two or more lasers 1 and two or more optical components 2. Two or more lasers 1 are used to generate laser light of two or more different colors, i.e. each laser 1 generates laser light of one color.
More than two optical components 2 and more than two lasers 1 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and are located in the light emitting direction of the lasers 1 generating laser light, each laser 1 corresponds to one optical component 2, half of the optical components 2 are arranged to be polarization plates 201, and the other half of the optical components are arranged to be half-wave plates 202. Both the polarizer 201 and the half-wave plate 202 are formed by plating a film on glass or quartz, that is, half the polarizer 201 is formed on one piece of quartz or glass, half the birefringent multilayer film of the columnar structure is plated, and then a protective layer or an anti-reflection layer is provided on the birefringent multilayer film of the columnar structure to form the half-wave plate 202.
When the polarization directions of the laser beams emitted by the two or more lasers 1 are different, the polarization plate 201 of the one or more optical components 2 is positioned on the emitting light path of the laser beams generated by the lasers 1 and used for fixing the polarization direction of the laser beams, and the half-wave plate 202 of the one or more optical components 2 is positioned on the emitting light path of the laser beams generated by the lasers 1 and used for changing the polarization direction of the laser beams.
By providing lasers of a plurality of colors, the color gamut of the laser light reflected onto the LCOS chip 5 can be made larger. Since the laser light source device includes a plurality of lasers 1, the polarization direction of the laser light emitted from each laser 1 may be different, and therefore, the polarization direction of the laser light emitted from each laser 1 needs to be adjusted to be the same, and then the laser light is incident on the LCOS chip 5.
An optical component 2 is disposed in the light outgoing direction of each laser 1, as shown in fig. 3, half of the optical component 2 is set as a polarization plate 201, and half is set as a half-wave plate 202, and in actual use, it is determined according to the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the laser 1 and the finally required polarization direction of the laser light that the laser 1 emits is incident on the polarization plate 201 of the optical component 2 or the half-wave plate 202 of the optical component 2, the polarization direction of the laser light is fixed by the polarization plate 201, that is, if the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the laser 1 is the same as the finally required polarization direction of the laser light, the laser light is incident on the polarization plate 201, if the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the laser 1 is different from the finally required polarization direction of the laser light, the laser light is incident on the half-wave plate 202, the polarization direction of the laser light is changed by the half-wave plate, the laser light of the uniform polarization state is then incident on the LCOS chip 5.
In the scheme, the polarization states of laser lights of multiple colors output by the multicolor laser light source are consistent through the optical component 2 with half of the polarization plate 201 and half of the polarization plate 202, when the polarization direction of the laser 1 is changed, the laser light only passes through the half-wave plate 202, the loss of the laser light is only the loss of the half-wave plate 202, and compared with a PS conversion plate, the loss of multilayer glass is reduced, so that the optical efficiency of the system is higher, and the volume is smaller.
In one example, as shown in fig. 1, the number of the lasers 1 is two, and the lasers are respectively a first laser 11 and a second laser 12, a first optical component 21 is arranged on the light emitting direction of the first laser 11, and a second optical component 22 is arranged on the light emitting direction of the second laser 12. The first laser 11 generates S-wave polarized blue laser light, and the second laser 12 generates P-wave polarized red laser light; the polarization directions of the laser light generated by the first laser 11 and the second laser 12 are different, and it is necessary to convert P-wave polarized red laser light generated by the second laser 12 into S-wave polarized laser light or convert S-wave polarized blue laser light generated by the first laser 11 into P-wave polarized laser light.
If the polarization of the P wave generated by the second laser 12 is converted into the polarization of the S wave, and the polarization direction of the laser light of the first laser 11 is not changed, the polarization plate 201 of the first optical member 21 is disposed on the light path from the first laser 11 to the laser light, the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is incident on the polarization plate 201 of the first optical member 21, the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is fixed by the polarization plate 201, that is, the transverse polarization is absorbed, only the polarization in the vertical direction is retained, and the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is still the S-polarized light after passing through the polarization plate 201 on the first optical member 21.
The half-wave plate 202 of the second optical component 22 is disposed on the outgoing light path of the laser generated by the second laser 12, the half-wave plate 202 can generate x/2 phase shift, the polarization direction is rotated by 90 °, the laser generated by the second laser 12 is incident on the half-wave plate 202 of the second optical component 22, the laser passes through the half-wave plate 202 and becomes S-polarized light, that is, the laser output by the first laser 11 and the laser output by the second laser 12 both become S-polarized light, and the polarization states are the same.
If the S-wave polarization generated by the first laser 11 is converted into the P-wave polarization and the polarization direction of the laser light of the second laser 12 is not changed, the half-wave plate 202 of the first optical member 21 is disposed on the path of the laser light emitted from the first laser 11, the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is incident on the half-wave plate 202 of the first optical member 21, and the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is converted into the P-wave polarization after passing through the half-wave plate 202 of the first optical member 21. The polarization plate 201 of the second optical component 22 is disposed on the exit path of the laser generated by the second laser 12, so that the laser generated by the second laser 12 is incident on the polarization plate 201 of the second optical component 22, and the laser is still P-wave polarized after passing through the polarization plate 201, and thus the polarization states of the laser output by the first laser 11 and the laser output by the second laser 12 are the same and are both P-wave polarized.
In another example, as shown in fig. 2, the number of lasers 1 is three, and the lasers are a first laser 11, a second laser 12, and a third laser 13, respectively, the first laser 11 generates S-wave polarized blue laser light, the second laser 12 generates P-wave polarized red laser light, and the third laser 13 generates S-wave polarized green laser light. The laser light that is ultimately incident on the LCOS chip 5 is required to be S-polarized light.
The number of the optical members 2 is three, and the optical members are respectively a first optical member 21, a second optical member 22 and a third optical member 23; the polarization plate 201 of the first optical component 21 is located on the outgoing light path of the laser light generated by the first laser 11, and the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is still S-wave polarization after passing through the polarization plate 201. The half-wave plate 202 of the second optical component 22 is located on the outgoing light path of the laser light generated by the second laser 12, and the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the second laser 12 changes after passing through the half-wave plate 202, and also becomes S-wave polarization. The polarization plate 201 of the third optical component 23 is located on the outgoing light path of the laser light generated by the third laser 13, and the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the third laser 13 is still S-wave polarization after passing through the polarization plate 201. That is, after the laser light generated by the first laser 11, the second laser 12 and the third laser 13 passes through the polarization plate 201 or the half-wave plate 202 on the corresponding optical component 2, the polarization directions of the laser light of all the different colors are consistent.
In another embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of the above embodiments, the light combining device for a LCOS multicolor laser light source further includes a compound eye lens set 3 and a PBS prism 4, where the compound eye lens set 3 is disposed in the light outgoing direction of the optical component 2. The PBS prism 4 is disposed in the light exit direction of the fly eye lens group 3, and is configured to reflect the laser light emitted from the fly eye lens group 3 onto the LCOS chip 5. The laser beams emitted from the plurality of optical parts 2 pass through the fly's eye lens group 3 to be more uniform. The fly eye lens group 3 includes a plurality of fly eye lenses arranged in parallel along the transmission direction of the laser light.
The S polarized light emitted from the compound eye lens group 3 is reflected by the PBS prism 4 and then irradiates on the LCOS chip 5, when the applied voltage of a certain pixel of the liquid crystal layer is 0, the input S polarized light passes through the liquid crystal layer, the polarization direction is not deflected, the S polarized light reaches the bottom and is reflected back to output the S polarized light, the S polarized light is reflected by the PBS prism 4, the S polarized light returns in the original path and cannot enter a transmission light path, the light output is zero, and the pixel is in a dark state. When voltage is applied to the pixel from the outside, the input S polarized light passes through the liquid crystal layer, the polarization direction is deflected, the S polarized light reaches the bottom and is reflected back to output P polarized light, the P polarized light directly passes through the PBS prism 4 and enters the transmission light path, and the pixel presents a bright state and forms an image on a screen.
The invention also provides a light combination method of the multicolor laser light source for the LCOS, which is characterized in that the light combination method is applied to the multicolor laser light source light combination device for the LCOS and comprises the following steps:

according to the polarization state of the laser light generated by the laser, the polarization direction of the laser light is fixed by a polarization plate positioned in the light outgoing direction of the laser light in the optical component or is changed by a half-wave plate positioned in the light outgoing direction of the laser light in the optical component, so that the polarization direction of the laser light is consistent with the polarization direction of the laser light generated by another laser.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, the LCOS multi-color laser light source light combining device includes two or more lasers 1 and two or more optical components 2.
In one example, as shown in fig. 1, when the number of the lasers 1 is two, the lasers are respectively a first laser 11 and a second laser 12, a first optical component 21 is arranged on the light emitting direction of the first laser 11, and a second optical component 22 is arranged on the light emitting direction of the second laser 12.
The first laser 11 generates S-wave polarized blue laser light to be incident along the light emitting direction, and the polarization direction of the laser light is not changed when the blue laser light passes through the first optical component 21, if the second laser 12 generates P-wave polarized red laser light; the polarization directions of the laser light generated by the first laser 11 and the second laser 12 are different, and it is necessary to convert P-wave polarized red laser light generated by the second laser 12 into S-wave polarized laser light or convert S-wave polarized blue laser light generated by the first laser 11 into P-wave polarized laser light.
If the polarization of the P wave generated by the second laser 12 is converted into the polarization of the S wave, and the polarization direction of the laser light of the first laser 11 is not changed, the polarization plate 201 of the first optical member 21 is disposed on the light path from the first laser 11 to the laser light, the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is incident on the polarization plate 201 of the first optical member 21, the polarization direction of the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is fixed by the polarization plate 201, that is, the transverse polarization is absorbed, only the polarization in the vertical direction is retained, and the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is still the S-polarized light after passing through the polarization plate 201 on the first optical member 21.

If the S-wave polarization generated by the first laser 11 is converted into the P-wave polarization and the polarization direction of the laser light of the second laser 12 is not changed, the half-wave plate 202 of the first optical member 21 is disposed on the path of the laser light emitted from the first laser 11, the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is incident on the half-wave plate 202 of the first optical member 21, and the laser light generated by the first laser 11 is converted into the P-wave polarization after passing through the half-wave plate 202 of the first optical member 21. The polarization plate 201 of the second optical component 22 is disposed on the exit path of the laser generated by the second laser 12, so that the laser generated by the second laser 12 is incident on the polarization plate 201 of the second optical component 22, and the laser is still P-wave polarized after passing through the polarization plate 201, and thus the polarization states of the laser output by the first laser 11 and the laser output by the second laser 12 are the same and are both P-wave polarized.
