Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the description of drawings composition of the present invention and the course of work:
Light source assembly of the present invention comprises lighting source, collimation lens set, and light filter rises/analyzer.
In Fig. 2, two embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 3, polarization spectroscope 11 is prisms of being made up of two triangular prisms, on the public cemented surface of two triangular prisms, be coated with wide wavelength polarization beam splitter or engrave grating, the grating that the polarizer and analyzer adopt polaroid or have the polarization spectro function with polarization spectro function.
According to go out to inject the separation/combination system from light source assembly is S polarized light or P polarized light, describes in two kinds of situation:
(1) if is S polarized light 8 from the light source assembly outgoing, the A of S polarization state, B, C (representing a kind of combination of red, green, blue three coloured light) three coloured light are purified through the polarizer 9 so, incide the first wide wavestrip wave plate 10 then, change the S polarized light of A color of light into the P polarized light, all the other two kinds of light still are the S polarized light.This three-beam incides polarization spectroscope (PBS) 11 then, and A color polarized light is through polarization spectroscope 11 direct transmissions, and B, C color polarized light are reflected through polarization spectroscope.After the S polarized light of B, two kinds of colors of C reflects from polarization spectroscope, through a planar dichroic mirror 12 with the angled double-colored spectro-film of plating in polarization spectroscope surface, with a kind of reflection in B, the C color of light, another transmission realizes B, C beam split.The final like this beam split that has realized A, B, C three coloured light has just realized the beam split of red, green, blue three looks.Three coloured light finally impinge upon the surface of three reflection type liquid crystals respectively.If the light through three liquid crystal 5,6 and 7 reflections by liquid crystal modulating polarization attitude 90 ° of rotations is taken place respectively, the A light that reflects through liquid crystal (polarization state is S) is polarized the spectroscope reflection so; B, C light (polarization state is P) through liquid crystal reflection arrives polarization spectroscope after dichronic mirror closes light, directly from the polarization spectroscope transmission, so just realized the light that closes of A, B, C three coloured light, just realized the light that closes of red, green, blue three coloured light.Close light beam behind the light through the projection lens projection, the bright attitude that project this moment.
If the light through liquid crystal reflection is not rotated by liquid crystal modulating polarization attitude, what then obtain by projection lens is dark attitude.Change the deflection angle that modulation voltage on the liquid crystal can change the light that reflects from liquid crystal, just can obtain different gray scales through the projection lens projection.In order further to improve performance, before projection lens, add second wide wavestrip wave plate 13 and the analyzer 14.The effect of the second wide wavestrip wave plate is that the polarization state of A, B, C three coloured light is identified, and the effect of analyzer is once more projected light to be purified.
(2) if be P polarized light 8 from the light source assembly outgoing, the A of P polarization state, B, C (representing a kind of combination of red, green, blue three coloured light) three coloured light are through behind the polarizer 9 so, incide the first wide wavestrip wave plate 10, change the P polarized light of A, two kinds of color of light of B into the S polarized light, C light still is the P polarized light.Then, this three-beam incides polarization spectroscope 11, and A, B color polarized light are reflected through polarization spectroscope, and C color polarized light is through the direct transmission of polarization spectroscope.After in like manner the S polarized light of A, two kinds of colors of B came out from polarization spectroscope, by the dichronic mirror beam split, with a kind of reflection wherein, another transmission realized A, B beam split.Finally realize the beam split of A, B, C three coloured light, just realized the beam split of red, green, blue three looks.The principle and (1) the kind situation of closing light are similar.
According to the position relation of dichronic mirror and polarization spectroscope and the type of polarization spectroscope, the present invention implements structures by can also be as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 52 kinds, polarization spectroscope 11 is the plane polarization spectroscope of plating polarization beam splitter in the transparent plate substrate or the grating that a slice has the polarization spectro function in these two embodiment, the grating that the polarizer and analyzer adopt polaroid or have the polarization spectro function.In embodiment illustrated in fig. 4, dichronic mirror and polarization spectroscope be arranged in parallel, be provided with vertical with polarization spectroscope of dichronic mirror in embodiment illustrated in fig. 5.The course of work of describing in the course of work of ray machine and the previous embodiment is identical.
Compare with adopting common polarization splitting prism, adopt the polarization spectroscope of plane grating to have lot of advantages: 1) extinction ratio does not change with the change of incident angle of light; 2) good heat dissipation does not exist because heat firmly causes the birefringent problem of glass.These advantages can improve the contrast of projection ray machine greatly.
The ColorSelect wave plate that wide wavestrip wave plate among the present invention can adopt U.S. ColorLink company to provide.Grating with polarization spectro function can be the wire grating polaroid (WGP) of U.S. MOXTEK company.
