The structure of the light source system of the present application is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 3, wherein fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the light source system in an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the optical paths of a light beam propagating within an integrator element in an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a light source system in another embodiment of the invention.
As an example, as shown in fig. 1, the light source system of the present invention includes a light source (not shown) for emitting a light beam as incident light of the light source system. Alternatively, the light source may be a laser light source for emitting a laser light beam.
The light beam emitted by the light source may be blue light, red light, violet light, ultraviolet light, or the like, but is not limited thereto. The light source is a laser light source, and a specific laser light source device emits laser light having a single polarization characteristic, and a 445nm/30W laser light source of japanese japan asian company is currently used in many cases, but other laser light sources may be used. In order to ensure the light emitting effect of the light source, the light path of the combined light can be properly adjusted according to the different quantity and polarization characteristics of the used laser light sources.
The light source system of the present invention further includes a light splitting element 103, a light homogenizing element and a wavelength conversion device 105, which are combined to realize the time-sequential output of the polychromatic light, so as to complete the conversion from the monochromatic light to the white light.
In one example, the light splitting element 103 is used to transmit or reflect the light beam incident to the light splitting element 103 through the light splitting element 103. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the light beam incident on the light splitting element 103 is reflected by the light splitting element 103 and then incident on the microlens array 108 of the light unifying element, or, for example, as shown in fig. 3, the light beam incident on the light splitting element 103 is transmitted by the light splitting element 103 and then incident on the microlens array 108 of the light unifying element.
The light splitting element 103 may be any element capable of performing a light splitting function, and for example, the light splitting element 103 may be a dichroic mirror.
The light splitting element 103 is disposed to be inclined so that an angle between an optical axis (also referred to as a central axis of the light beam) of the light beam incident on the light splitting element 103 and an incident surface is 45 °, for example, the light splitting element 103 is disposed to be inclined by 45 ° with respect to a horizontal plane, and this is provided to make the laser light whose wavelength is changed by the wavelength conversion device 105 before and after being reflected by the light splitting element 103 perpendicular to each other, and to make the light beams before and after being reflected by the light splitting element 103 perpendicular to each other.
In one example, the light source system further includes a beam reduction element disposed between the light source and the light splitting element 103, and the beam reduction element is configured to compress the light beam emitted from the light source and then emit the compressed light beam to the light splitting element 103. For example, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, the beam reduction element includes a converging lens 101 and a collimating lens 102, a light beam emitted from the light source and having a first aperture is converged by the converging lens 101, enters the collimating lens 102, and is collimated by the collimating lens 102 and then is emitted, wherein the light beam collimated by the collimating lens 102 has a second aperture, and the first aperture is larger than the second aperture. The beam-reducing element may further include another lens group composed of a plurality of lenses, and is not particularly limited herein.
The beam emitted by the light source is compressed by the beam-reducing element, so that the aperture of the beam is compressed to a second aperture, and the second aperture can be matched with the projection area of the micro-lens array 108 of the light-homogenizing element on the first plane, thereby reducing the damage of the beam and enabling most of the beam emitted by the light source to be used for generating stimulated light after being homogenized.
The converging lens 101 may be any lens known to those skilled in the art capable of converging, such as a convex lens, and the collimating lens 102 may be any lens known to those skilled in the art capable of collimating, such as a biconcave lens.
Further, the light beam transmitted or reflected by the light splitting element 103 is incident to the light uniformizing element as an incident light, the light uniformizing element is configured to uniformize the incident light and converge and emit the uniformized light beam, and the light uniformizing element performs light uniformizing on the light beam, so that the light beam emitted by the light source system has better uniformity, and when the light uniformizing element is applied to a projection device, the illumination requirement of the projection device can be met.
In one example, the aspect ratio of the light spot of the light beam emitted from the light uniformizing element is matched with the aspect ratio of the picture projected by the display chip of the projection device, for example, the aspect ratio of the picture projected by the display chip of the projection device is 1:1, the aspect ratio of the light spot is 1:1, the aspect ratio of the picture projected by the display chip of the projection device is 4:3, the aspect ratio of the light spot is 4:3, the aspect ratio of the picture projected by the display chip of the projection device is 3:2, and the aspect ratio of the light spot is 3:2, or other aspect ratios are also possible.
In one example, as shown in fig. 2, the light equalizing element includes a micro lens array 108 and a Total Internal Reflection lens 104 (TIR), the micro lens array 108 is disposed on a first surface of the TIR lens facing the light splitting element 103, the micro lens array 108 is configured to equalize incident light (for example, a light beam reflected or transmitted by the light splitting element 103), and the TIR lens 104 is configured to converge and emit the equalized light beam, and collimate the laser beam emitted by the wavelength conversion device 105. The light homogenizing element combined by the micro lens array 108 and the total internal reflection lens 104 not only can realize the function of homogenizing light, but also can simplify the light source system and reduce the volume of the light source system.
Illustratively, a second surface of the total reflection lens, which is opposite to the first surface, is provided with a groove, a bottom surface of the groove, which is close to the first surface, is provided with a central curved surface 1041 which is convex towards the second surface, and optionally, the central curved surface 1041 is a quadric surface or other aspheric surface shape.
In one example, the side surface of the tir lens 104 is a total reflection surface, light incident on the total reflection surface is reflected by the total reflection surface and then exits, and the side surface is a curved surface, and the curvature of the curved surface may be reasonably set according to actual needs, for example, the curved surface may be a quadratic surface, or other aspheric surface. The total reflection surface is convex toward the outer side of the total reflection lens, so that the light incident to the total reflection surface is reflected by the total reflection surface and then exits from the first surface of the total reflection lens 104.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the microlens array 108 and the central curved surface 1041 are correspondingly arranged, and the light beam homogenized by the microlens array 108 enters the central curved surface 1041 and is converged by the central curved surface 1041 and then exits. Alternatively, the size of the projection of the microlens array 108 on the first surface may be consistent with the size of the projection of the central curved surface 1041 on the first surface.
The microlens array 108 is formed by connecting and combining a plurality of microlenses, wherein the shape of the projection of the microlenses on the first surface in the microlens array 108 is rectangular, that is, the shape of the microlenses is rectangular, for example, the aspect ratio of the microlenses can be set reasonably according to actual needs, for example, the aspect ratio of the image to be projected by the display chip can be set as 1:1, 3:2, 4:3 or other ratios. In one example, the aspect ratio of the light spot of the finally emergent light beam is matched with the aspect ratio of the picture projected by the display chip of the projection device through the matching of the rectangular micro lens and the central curved surface 1041.
Further, the TIR lens may be made of a light-transmissive material, and the micro lens array 108 may also be made of a light-transmissive material, including but not limited to glass, Polycarbonate (PC), or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Alternatively, TIR lens and microlens array 108 may be integrally formed, or may be otherwise formed.
The wavelength conversion device 105 may include a wavelength conversion partition configured to perform wavelength conversion on a light beam received from the light unifying element to generate a stimulated light, which may be reflected to the light unifying element, and then be collimated by the light unifying element and reflected or transmitted from the light splitting element 103 to perform light combination. For example, the wavelength conversion device 105 may also have a reflective region for reflecting the stimulated light.
The wavelength conversion device 105 is a rotary wavelength conversion device 105 that rotates periodically about its axis of rotation, optionally the wavelength conversion device 105 comprises one of a wheel type wavelength conversion device 105 and a bucket type wavelength conversion device 105. For example, the wavelength conversion device 105 is a wheel or barrel fluorescent device.
In one example, the wavelength conversion device 105 includes a base body, and a wavelength conversion material formed on the base body, for example, the base body may be a circular base body, the wavelength conversion material may be disposed in a circumferential direction of the base body, a fan-shaped ring, a half-ring shape, or the like may be formed on the base body, and wavelength conversion materials for different conversion wavelengths may also be disposed in a circumferential direction in the vicinity of an outer periphery of the base body. Here, the region in which the wavelength conversion material is formed is also referred to as a wavelength conversion partition.
The substrate is a metal substrate made of copper, aluminum, or the like, and the surface of the substrate on the side of the excitation light irradiation device is mirror-finished by silver vapor deposition or the like so that the received laser light is reflected off the wavelength conversion device 105. The wavelength conversion material is formed on the surface of the mirror-finished substrate.
Further, the wavelength conversion device 105 further includes a driving element for driving the substrate to rotate according to a predetermined period. Optionally, the driving device includes a motor, wherein the base is disposed in close contact with the motor, and the motor drives the base to rotate. For example, the base is a drum wheel, and the center portion is fixed to a rotation shaft of a motor and is rotatable. As an implementation mode, a shaft hole is arranged at the center of the base body, a fixing ring is arranged at the shaft hole, a rotating motor penetrates through the shaft hole through a rotating shaft and is fastened with the fixing ring, so that the rotating motor can drive the base body through the rotating shaft, and corresponding treatment is carried out when exciting light strikes different partitions of the base body. Optionally, the driving element drives the substrate to rotate at a constant speed or at a non-constant speed, so that the output time sequence of the laser can be controlled more flexibly.
For example, the wavelength converting partition surface is provided with a wavelength converting material including, but not limited to, a red light converting material, a green light converting material, a blue light converting material, and a yellow light converting material.

In one example, the wavelength conversion device 105 may further include a reflective partition that reflects the light beam, e.g., blue light, for exit from the light unifying element.
In one embodiment, the exciting light incident on the surface of the wavelength conversion material generates stimulated light, the emergent direction of the stimulated light is in any direction, namely, the range of the included angle theta between the emergent direction of the stimulated light and the incident direction of the exciting light is more than 90 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees. In addition, in order to improve efficiency and reduce optical loss, the substrate of the wavelength conversion device 105 is a metal substrate made of copper, aluminum, or the like, and the surface of the substrate on the side of the excitation light irradiation device is mirror-finished by silver vapor deposition or the like so that the received laser light is reflected off the wavelength conversion device 105.
