At present, a laser projection apparatus generally includes a fluorescent laser light source, an optical system, and a spatial light modulator, and laser projection is realized by the cooperation of the three components. The fluorescent laser light source generally includes a fluorescent wheel device and a color correction wheel device. There are some designs of light sources where the two devices are located on two motors (wheels) and there are also some designs of light sources where the two devices are located on one motor (wheel). For the fluorescent laser light source with the fluorescent wheel device and the color correction wheel device arranged on one motor, the size of the fluorescent laser light source is often limited by the diameter of the color wheel in the color correction wheel device, so that the fluorescent laser light source is difficult to be made smaller.

Referring to fig. 1, a light source device 100 includes a laser light source 101, a light splitting and combining unit 102, a wavelength conversion unit 103, and a light collecting unit 104.

The wavelength conversion unit 103 includes a wavelength conversion region and a non-wavelength conversion region sequentially located on the optical path of the excitation light. In this embodiment, the wavelength conversion unit 103 is a rotating color wheel.
When the wavelength conversion region is located on the excitation light optical path, a part of the excitation light is subjected to wavelength conversion in the wavelength conversion region to form excited light, and the rest of the excitation light becomes residual light and is reflected from the wavelength conversion region to the light splitting and combining unit 102 along with the excited light.
When the non-wavelength conversion region is located on the excitation light optical path, the excitation light forms a primary color light in the non-wavelength conversion region and emits the primary color light to the light splitting and combining unit 102. The non-wavelength conversion region includes an optical path shifting module 1031, and the optical path shifting module 1031 is configured to shift an optical path of the excitation light entering the non-wavelength conversion region, so that an optical path of the primary light formed by the excitation light in the non-wavelength conversion region and emitted to the light splitting and combining unit 102 is not overlapped with an optical path of the residual light and emitted to the light splitting and combining unit 102. Thus, the discrimination of the residual light and the primary light is realized.
The light collecting unit 104 is disposed behind the light splitting and combining unit 102 along the light emitting direction of the received laser light, the residual light, and the primary light. The light collecting unit 104 includes a light collecting region and a light filtering region, the light receiving light and the primary light are guided to the light collecting region through the light splitting and combining unit 102 to enter a subsequent light path, and the residual light is guided to the light filtering region through the light splitting and combining unit 102 to be filtered. Thereby realizing the filtering of the residual light.
In this embodiment, the light collecting unit 104 is a compound eye unit, the light collecting region is a region covered by the accommodating angle range of the compound eye unit, and the filter region is a region outside the region covered by the accommodating angle range of the compound eye unit.
Of course, the light collecting unit 104 is not limited thereto, and as shown in fig. 2, the light collecting unit 104 is a square rod unit. The light collecting area is a light inlet area of the square rod unit, and the light filtering area is an area outside the light inlet area of the square rod unit.
The structure realizes the purposes of distinguishing the primary light and the residual light and filtering the residual light without using a color correction sheet, reduces optical elements, improves the optical performance of the light source device, simplifies the structure of the light source device and is beneficial to miniaturization.
In order to increase the incident effect of the excitation light to the wavelength conversion unit 103 and the incident effect of the excited light, the residual light, and the primary light to the light collecting unit 104, the light source device 100 further includes a first condensing lens 105, the light splitting and combining unit 102, the first condensing lens 105, and the wavelength conversion unit 103 are sequentially disposed along the incident direction of the excitation light, the excitation light sequentially passes through the light splitting and combining unit 102 and the first condensing lens 105 to reach the wavelength conversion unit 103, and the formed excited light, the residual light, and the primary light sequentially pass through the first condensing lens 105 and the light splitting and combining unit 102 and then irradiate to the light collecting unit 104. The first condenser lens 105 is preferably a lens group including a first lens 1051 and a second lens 1052 which are arranged in this order in the incident direction of the excitation light and have optical axes overlapping each other.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the optical path shift module 1031 includes an excitation light transmission region 10311, a second condenser lens 10312 (a positive lens in the present embodiment), and a second reflection unit 10313, which are arranged in this order along the excitation light incidence direction. Preferably, the excitation light transmission region 10311 is located on a wheel body of the rotating color wheel, and the second condenser lens 10312 and the second reflection unit 10313 are disposed behind the wheel body in the excitation light incidence direction.
When the non-wavelength conversion region is located on the excitation light optical path, the excitation light reaching the wavelength conversion unit 103 sequentially passes through the excitation light transmission region 10311 and the second condenser lens 10312 to reach the second reflection unit 10313, and after being reflected by the second reflection unit 10313, the excitation light sequentially passes through the second condenser lens 10312 and the excitation light transmission region 10311 to form the primary light, wherein the optical axis of the second condenser lens 10312 is not overlapped with the optical axis of the first condenser lens 105, so that the primary light is reflected on an optical path different from the optical paths of the excited light and the residual light.
The light splitting and combining unit 102 includes a first reflection unit 1021 and a dichroic element 1022 that transmits the excitation light and reflects the stimulated light. Wherein the optical axis of the first condenser lens 105 coincides with the optical axis of the dichroic element 1022, and the received laser light is reflected to the light collecting area of the light collecting unit 104 via the dichroic element 1022 for a subsequent light path; the primary light is reflected to the light collecting area of the light collecting unit 104 by the first reflecting unit 1021 after passing through the dichroic element 1022, and is used for a subsequent light path; the residual light is reflected to the filter region of the light collecting unit 104 by the first reflecting unit 1021 after passing through the dichroic element 1022, so as to realize filtering.
In the present embodiment, the light source device 100 further includes a light uniformizing device 106 to improve the uniformity of incidence of the excitation light. The laser light source 101, the dodging device 106, the light splitting and combining unit 102, the first condensing lens 105, and the wavelength conversion unit 103 are sequentially disposed along the incident direction of the excitation light.
Of course, a relay lens 110 may also be provided between the dichroic element 1022 and the light collecting unit 104 along the optical path of the excitation light, as shown in fig. 2.
The working principle of the light source device 100 is as follows:
the laser light source 101 emits excitation light, which is homogenized by the light uniformizing device 106, and then, the excitation light passes through the dichroic element 1022, passes through the first lens 1051 and the second lens 1052 of the first condenser lens 105, and reaches the wavelength conversion unit 103. For a conventional monolithic spatial light modulator optical-mechanical system, the wavelength conversion unit 103 is illustrated by taking a rotating color wheel as an example, and the rotating color wheel is divided into multiple segments, such as RGB (red, green, blue, yellow), RGBY (red, green, blue, yellow), RGBW (red, green, blue, white), and the like. In this embodiment, taking an RGB 3-segment type rotating color wheel as an example, when the rotating color wheel is located in R (red) and G (green) segments, that is, when the wavelength converting region of the wavelength converting unit 103 is located on the light path, the blue excitation light irradiated on the rotating color wheel excites fluorescence (excited light), and the fluorescence is collected by the second lens 1052 and the first lens 1051 and then reflected by the dichroic element 1022 to the light condensing unit 104; when the rotating color wheel is in the B (blue) segment, that is, the non-wavelength conversion region of the wavelength conversion unit 103 is located on the light path, that is, the (blue) primary light is transmitted in the B segment, passes through the second condenser lens 10312, reaches the second reflection unit 10313, is reflected by the second reflection unit 10313, and returns to the rotating color wheel again. The optical axis of the second condenser lens 10312 does not coincide with the optical axis of the first condenser lens 105 (the optical axes of the first lens 1051 and the second lens 1052 coincide), so that the light beam may be misaligned when passing through the second condenser lens 10312 2 for 2 times, i.e. pass through a section of "V" shaped optical path. In this way, when the light beam of the (blue) primary color light passes through the rotating color wheel 106 again, the spot position is shifted from the first spot position by a certain amount, and the shift amount causes the optical axis of the light beam of the (blue) primary color light after passing through the second lens 1052 and the first lens 1051 in sequence to be tilted (compared with the optical axis of the received laser light). The light beam of the (blue) primary color light is reflected by the first reflection unit 1021 (the first reflection unit 1021 is disposed at an angle different from 45 °), and then reaches the light collection unit 104 through the dichroic element 1022, where the light collection unit 104 is a compound eye unit in this embodiment.
When the (blue) excitation light excites the fluorescence (i.e., the excited light), the unabsorbed blue light (i.e., the residual light) passes through the second lens 1052 and the first lens 1051 together with the fluorescence to reach the dichroic element 1022. Due to the wavelength difference, the unabsorbed blue light (residual light) is transmitted through the dichroic element 1022, wherein a portion of the residual light is reflected by the first reflection unit 1021, and the remaining portion of the residual light is absorbed by each module (including structural members) in the light source device 100.
The present invention utilizes the difference in beam angle emitted from the second lens 1052 and the first lens 1051 caused by the difference in the position of light emission from the rotary color wheel and the position of the fluorescent light spot (residual light spot) after the (blue) primary light passes through the second condenser lens 10312 and the second reflection unit 10313, thereby realizing the distinction between the (blue) primary light and the residual light. Due to the different angles, the residual light enters the light collecting unit 104 at a larger oblique angle after being reflected by the first reflecting unit 1021, and the primary color light (blue) enters the light collecting unit 104 (i.e. the compound eye unit 104) at normal incidence or at a smaller oblique angle. The compound eye unit 104 is required to have an angle of incident light, and incident light within a range of the accommodation angle can pass through the rear optical system (not shown) after passing through the compound eye unit 104. When the light is irradiated on the spatial light modulator, the incident light beyond the accommodation range becomes a side lobe, and is lost when passing through the rear optical system, and cannot be emitted from the optical system. By using this characteristic, as long as the incident angle of the (blue) primary light reflected by the first reflection unit 1021 is within the accommodation range of the compound eye unit 104 and the incident angle of the residual light is outside the accommodation range of the compound eye unit 104, the (blue) primary light and the residual light can be distinguished, thereby facilitating subsequent filtering of the residual light.
Second embodiment
The second embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as the first embodiment, and differs from the first embodiment in that the optical path deviation module has a different structure, specifically as follows:
as shown in fig. 3, in the light source device 300, in the non-wavelength conversion region of the wavelength conversion unit 303, the optical path deviation module 3031 includes an excitation light transmission region 30311 and a reflection cup 30312 sequentially arranged along the incidence direction of the excitation light. Preferably, in this embodiment, the wavelength conversion unit 303 is a rotating color wheel, and the reflecting cup 30312 is disposed behind a wheel body of the rotating color wheel along the incident direction of the excitation light.
When the non-wavelength conversion region is located on the excitation light optical path, the excitation light reaching the wavelength conversion unit 303 reaches the reflection cup 30312 after passing through the excitation light transmission region 30311, and the primary color light is formed by passing through the excitation light transmission region 30311 after being reflected by the reflection cup 30312. The optical axis of the reflecting cup 30312 is not aligned with the optical axis of the first condenser lens 305 (the optical axis of the second lens 3052 is aligned with the optical axis of the first lens 3051), so that the primary light is reflected on a light path different from the light receiving beam and the residual light. In this embodiment, the light collecting unit 304 is a compound eye unit.
Except for the above differences, other structures and principles are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.
Third embodiment
The third embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as the first embodiment, and the difference is that the optical path deviation module has a different structure, specifically as follows:
as shown in fig. 4, in the light source device 400, a light transmissive layer 40312 close to the excitation light incident surface and a light reflective layer 40313 far from the excitation light incident surface are formed in the non-wavelength conversion region of the wavelength conversion unit 403 along the thickness direction, and the light transmissive layer 40312 and the light reflective layer 40313 form the light path deviation module 4031. When the non-wavelength conversion region is located on the excitation light optical path, the excitation light reaching the wavelength conversion unit 403 passes through the light transmissive layer 40312 and then reaches the light reflective layer 40313, and after being reflected by the light reflective layer 40313, the excitation light passes through the light transmissive layer 40312 for the second time to form the primary light, wherein the incident direction of the excitation light does not coincide with the optical axis of the first condenser lens, so that the excitation light is incident on the wavelength conversion unit 403 in an inclined manner.
When the wavelength conversion region is located on the excitation light optical path, part of the excitation light is directly reflected on the surface of the wavelength conversion region to form residual light, which is different from this case, when the non-wavelength conversion region is located on the excitation light optical path, through the structural design of the light-transmitting layer 40312 and the light-reflecting layer 40313, the optical path of the excitation light forming the primary light is different from the optical path of the excitation light forming the residual light, and because the excitation light is incident to the wavelength conversion unit 403 in an inclined manner, the optical path of the primary light emitted to the light splitting and combining unit is not overlapped with the optical path of the residual light emitted to the light splitting and combining unit.
In this embodiment, the wavelength conversion unit 403 is a rotating color wheel, and the non-wavelength conversion region is formed on a wheel body of the rotating color wheel. Preferably, the light-transmitting layer 40312 may have an optical surface for modulating an incident angle of the light beam by a method such as plating or designing a microstructure, and the optical surface may expand an offset between an optical path of the primary light to the light splitting and combining unit 402 (the dichroic element 4022 and the first reflecting unit 4021) and an optical path of the residual light to the light splitting and combining unit 402 by modulating the incident angle of the light beam.
For example, the light-transmitting layer 40312 may be configured to be gaussian-scattering, so that the primary light is scattered at a larger angle after passing through the light-transmitting layer 40312 twice, and when the primary light passes through the first condenser lens 405 (the second lens 4052, the first lens 4051) again, the cross-sectional area of the light beam of the primary light is diffused at a larger angle, and then reaches the first reflecting unit 4021 through the dichroic element 4022 to be reflected into the light collecting unit 404. The purpose of scattering the light beams of primary light is to enter the light collecting unit 404 with a larger cross section, resulting in a better light homogenizing effect.
Of course, according to different design requirements, the optical path of the primary light to the combined light splitting unit and the optical path of the residual light to the combined light splitting unit may not be overlapped only by the difference in the optical path described above without performing special processing on the light-transmitting layer 40312.
Except for the above differences, other structures and principles are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.
Embodiment IV
The fourth embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as the first embodiment, and differs therefrom in that: a fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the light splitting and combining unit in the first embodiment in the structure of the first reflection unit, and specifically includes the following:
as shown in fig. 5, in the light splitting and combining unit 502 of the light source device 500, along the light emitting direction of the received laser light, the residual light, and the primary light, the first reflecting unit 5021 includes a first reflecting mirror 50211, a third lens 50212, a second reflecting mirror 50213, a third reflecting mirror 50214, and a fourth lens 50215, which are sequentially disposed behind the dichroic element 5022.
The primary light passes through the second condenser lens 50312, the second reflection unit 10313, returns to the wavelength conversion unit 503 again, then passes through the first condenser lens 505 (the second lens 5052, the first lens 5051), the dichroic element 5022, and is incident obliquely to the first mirror 50211 (the first mirror 50211 is not disposed at 45 °). The primary light that is obliquely incident is incident on the third lens 50212 after passing through the first mirror 50211, and then passes through the second mirror 50213, the third mirror 50214, the fourth lens 50215, and again passes through the dichroic element 5022, and finally enters the light collecting unit 504.
The blue residual light, which has a different angle from the primary light, enters the third lens 50212 and the rear light path at a different angle after being reflected by the first reflector 50211. Specifically, the residual light is reflected by the wavelength conversion unit 503 (in this embodiment, a rotating color wheel), then passes through the dichroic element 5022 of the light splitting and combining unit 502, and is reflected by the first reflecting mirror 50211, but because the angle of the residual light is different from the incident angle of the primary light, the residual light is reflected by the first reflecting mirror 50211, then is sequentially transmitted through the third lens 50212, the second reflecting mirror 50213, the third reflecting mirror 50214, and the fourth lens 50215, and is gradually consumed during transmission, so that the residual light is filtered, and does not reach the final subsequent light path.
The structural arrangement of the first reflection unit 5021 more effectively realizes the filtering of the residual light. And then gradually lost in the propagation path of the light and not reach the final light modulator. The primary light passes through the light path of the first reflection unit 5021 to expand the light beam, and the expanded light beam can pass through the light collection unit 504 to be uniform in more areas when passing through the light collection unit 504, so that better uniformity is achieved. In this embodiment, beam expansion is achieved by using two positive lens groups, namely, a third lens 50212 and a fourth lens 50215, which may also be actually achieved by using a positive lens group and a negative lens group.
Except for the above differences, other structures and principles are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.
Fifth embodiment
A fifth embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as the fourth embodiment, and is mainly different from the fourth embodiment in that: in a fifth embodiment, a second laser light source is added on the basis of the fourth embodiment, and the color of the light beam of the second laser light source is different from the color of the light beam of the laser light source in the fourth embodiment, so as to improve the color and the brightness, specifically as follows:

For example, the laser source 601 is a yellow/blue laser, and the second laser source 607 is a red/green laser.
The laser light emitted from the second laser light source 607 is condensed by the fifth lens 608 (a positive lens in this embodiment), passes through the second reflecting mirror 60213, the second dichroic element 609, the third reflecting mirror 60214, and the fourth lens 60215 in this order, passes through the central region of the dichroic element 6022, and then enters the light collecting unit 604. The second dichroic element 609 can homogenize the (blue) primary light and the red/green laser light while eliminating speckle, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the color of the primary light and increasing the brightness thereof.
Preferably, a relay lens 610 may be further provided between the dichroic element 6022 and the light collecting unit 604 along the optical path of the excitation light. The laser light emitted from the second laser light source 607 is condensed by the fifth lens 608, passes through the second mirror 60213, the second dichroic element 609, the third mirror 60214, and the fourth lens 60215 in this order, then passes through the central region of the dichroic element 6022, and then enters the light collecting unit 604 through the relay lens 610.
Of course, in the present embodiment, the laser light emitted from the second laser light source 607 may be condensed by the fifth lens 608 and then incident on the third reflecting mirror 60214. Alternatively, after the laser light emitted from the second laser light source 607 is condensed by the fifth lens 608, a dichroic sheet with a coated area may be added to the optical path between the relay lens 610 and the light condensing unit 604 to combine with the primary color light and the laser light. This is possible, and the effect is to improve the color of the primary light and to increase its brightness.
