Background of invention
The distribution of space-time structure (variation of each particle position or state) produces a sphere of influence.Briefly, the effect of a particle can influence the effect of other particle approaching with it.This sphere of influence is called " field ", and this both can be expressed as electric field and also can be expressed as magnetic field (it will influence other particle afterwards).The moving direction of particle is called the direction of propagation.The mode that the propagation of particle, the sphere of influence and it influence other particle is referred to as electromagnetic wave, and is shown in Fig. 1.
As shown in Figure 1, electric field and magnetic field are each other and direction of propagation quadrature (being in the right angle).These concrete certain a bit or the situation in a certain given area in the space can be expressed as vector (show induction direction and intensity, promptly respond to amplitude) with mathematical way.Thereby Figure 1A is that Fig. 1 looks along propagation axis, i.e. electromagnetic wave of looking along X-axis among Fig. 1.What Figure 1A represented is that the various electric fields that possible exist vow can there be all possible any vector around the annulus certainly, and each vector to have different amplitudes.
Can be the ingredient of resolution of vectors one-tenth along two axles.This is for convenience's sake, and is in order to produce our understandable reference frame.With reference to Figure 1B, electric field vows that E can resolve into two ingredients, E (y) and E (x) as can be seen.Go to describe direction and the size of electric field arrow with this tittle, can certainly select other coordinate or system along two axle x and y.Except that will adopting X and Z axle, foregoing is equally applicable to magnetic field.
The time dependent relation of the intensity in electric field and magnetic field and direction is obtained by several famous mathematicians and physicist, has derived one group of fundamental equation, i.e. the McQuay equation.These equations are illustrated and to be vowed and can be in any in several different conditions, promptly randomly changing on a period of time is vowed in (1) field, or (2) arrow can change direction with circular pattern, or (3) arrow can change direction in oval mode, or (4) arrow can keep size and Orientation constant, therefore a vector potential is on a plane, and is a two dimensional surface.
The direction of vowing with and the mode that changes in time be called polarization state.
Electromagnetic wave can resolve into has the electromagnetic wave that separates that direction is vowed in predetermined field.Then this electromagnetic wave with predetermined field arrow orientation is led to a kind of material, as liquid crystal device, as shown in Figure 7, the orientation that this material or device can change when applying external drive or vow the conversion field.These devices are exactly that electromagnetic wave field able to programme is to rotary device (PEMFVORD).
Electromagnetic characteristic parameter is its frequency or wavelength.Electromagnetic wave spectrum (scope) from zero-shortwave limit to endless-long wave ultimate extension.The zone of different wave length has provided title in the age in the past, as cosmic rays, alpha ray, β ray, gamma-rays, X ray, ultraviolet ray, visible light, infrared ray, microwave, TV and FM radio frequency, shortwave, AM, maritime affairs communication etc.It all is to show an electromagnetic specific frequency range that these all shorthands are expressed.
The zones of different of wave spectrum interacts with different ratio with electromagnetic effect on it, and its lower portion is subjected to the influence in magnetic field more, and high end parts is subjected to electric field effects.Thereby if comprise a kind of nuclear reaction, just must adopt a magnetic field, and, then adopt electric field in the control light time.
Fig. 2 represents the sectional view synoptic diagram of LCD box.LCD box 100 comprises a kind of liquid crystal material 101 that is included between two transparency carriers 103,104.Sept 105,106 is used for separately transparency carrier 103,104.Seal element 107,108 is sealed in liquid crystal material between the transparency carrier 103,104.Conductor coatings 109,110 on the transparency carrier 103,104 is given liquid crystal material 101 with suitable electrical signal conduction.
As in most of LCD box of optical presentation system, the type of liquid crystal material is " a twisted-nematic phase ".Usually, for twisted-nematic phase LCD box, when not having electric field, the molecule of LCD box is at half-twist angle between the transparency carrier 103 and 104 up and down.When applying electric field, molecule does not reverse and is arranged in a linear on the direction of an electric field that applies.The change of molecules align causes the birefringence effect of liquid crystal cell to change.In homogeneous ordering, the birefringence of liquid crystal cell is little from changing to greatly, and under vertical situation, then situation is opposite.Birefringent change causes changing on electric field arrow orientation by the light of LCD.The molecule rotation amount of each LCD box 100 will determine the amount that light beam polarization direction on this pixel (orientation that electric field is vowed) changes.Then light beam is passed another part of this system (analyzer), and photolysis is become different light beams, vow that the Guang Yilu of composition walks and finally be mapped to the display screen that is used to show and have predetermined electric field by the orientation of their electric fields arrow.
The light that LCD box 100 is incided in the requirement of twisted-nematic phase LCD box is polarized light.The polarized light that is used for the canonical projection instrument usually sends from the random polarization light source, by plastic polarizer collimation and optical filtering, thereby provides a branch of linearly polarized photon.Linear polarized beam is known as S polarized light and P polarized light routinely, and the P polarized light is defined as and is being parallel to the direction polarization of the plane of incidence, and the S polarized light is defined as at the direction polarization perpendicular to the plane of incidence.
The development of PEMFVORD technology brings the development of LCD projector, the orientation (see figure 7) that the electric field that the LCD projector utilizes one or more LCD to change projected light beam is vowed.The birefringence of each LCD pixel optionally changes by proper device such as cathode-ray tube (CRT), laser instrument or circuit arrangement.Typical liquid crystal light valve (LCLV) projector comprises a lamp source, is used to produce a branch of light beam that passes analyzer.This polarized light guiding LCD changes polarization state according to the image that will show.After LCD penetrated, light beam was by the plastics analyzer, and this analyzer is used for stoping or light absorbing nonuseable part.Amplify the image that forms by projection lens system then, thereby on display screen, form resembling of an amplification.
Colored LCLV projector typically comprises the color separation device, as prism, beam splitter or dichroic mirror, thereby the collimation white light that sends from light source is divided into three primary colours light (being red, green, blue).Modulate red, green, blue respectively by LCD then, and merge this three light beams by optical devices such as synthetic prisms, catoptron or the lens that separate.
In general, the quality of projection image and brightness are illumination LCD and the function that plays the light-source brightness of deflection device in the LCLV projector.Must filter white light/be separated into the optics polarizing component and have the light that single-beam electric-field is vowed orientation.Thereby the white light that in most of LCLV optical projection system, can only partly utilize (i.e. the light of a polarization direction) to send from light source.This requires to make film viewing screen obtain required brightness with the light source of oversized dimensions.
Usually, for the twisted-nematic phase transmission-type LCD box that is surrounded by plastic polaristor, have only 40 (40%) percent or light source still less output be utilized.In fact, because structure and principle that plastic polaristor adopted, for the random polarization that passes therethrough, maximum transmission rate also has only 50%, although this device itself has 100% efficient to all wavelength.Thereby can not obtain the full brightness projector.And the useless polarization composition of light source is absorbed by the plastics analyzer and waste energy with the form of heat, this heat energy can pass to other element (being LCD, electron device etc.), thereby system's (especially plastic polarizer, LCD, electron device etc.) is harmful to.These heat energy must be blocked by the assembly of system and/or dissipate, or light source output is reduced, and the assembly that makes absorbed luminous flux be reduced to comprising plastic polarizer produces below the threshold value of permanent damage.At present, the threshold value of the analyzer of making for plastics is 5-10 watt of/square inch (0.78-1.55W/cm 2), specifically will be according to the illumination light wavelength.In people's such as Amano U.S. Pat 5,071,234, disclosed a kind of method that improves damage threshold, though this patent is not discussed concrete damage threshold.
Existing system all needs the system that comprises polarizing prism and pre-polarizing prism of relative complex, to guarantee forming a kind of polarization state or single polarization state at LCD, and provide the projection image of adequate resolution and contrast with existing colored LCLV projector, when suitable resolution and contrast, need remove to merge colour band separately with the optical element and the layout of complexity.

Be used to overcome the prior art illuminator of LCD display illumination system brightness problem and not exclusively success.
The example that whole outputs of attempting to utilize light source increase the illuminator of LCD display brightness is disclosed in the U.S. Pat 5,028,121 of Baur etc.In the system of Baur, the random polarization light source is broken down into two bundles polarized light separately, wherein a branch of polarized light leads to two look beam splitters, this beam splitter is the column of colour that the separates one group of reflective LCD that leads, and another light beam with different polarization states is sent to a different set of LCD through two different look beam splitters.After each part that the light beam electric field is vowed is changed, light beam is arrived polarization beam apparatus/compositor through dichroic mirror reflects.The image that will show is sent to projecting lens, simultaneously the light beam of returning is sent it back light source.This causes the light source heating and the life-span is shortened.In addition, each the order field that is projected has the brightness of illumination of varying level to each pixel according to the light quantity of returning light source.
For example, if light source has the average output of 1000 lumens, the order field of projection has 30% of mean flow rate, then has the light of 700 lumens to be reflected back in the light source, makes that effective brightness of light of light emitted is 1700 lumens.In next one order field, if average brightness level is 50%, light that then will 500 lumens reflects back into light source, makes that effective brightness of the light that light source sends is 1500 lumens.The modulated light source luminance level was eased when this situation can change by the average brightness level of calculating projection and in the field of projection, and the illumination of pixel just is in a kind of constant brightness like this.This system also can by or the driving circuit that monitors the light output of light source and change light source as autonomous system improve, thereby keep constant luminance level.This can monitor by the optical sensor of a supervision beam splitter output light, perhaps can be directly installed on the LCD plate skin of the image that is formed with the source region.But the increase of above-mentioned any circuit all can further make projector complicated and make light source become an active part of system, increases the cost and the complicacy of projector.
Whole outputs of attempting to utilize light source another example with the illuminator that increases LCD display brightness is disclosed in the U.S. Pat 4,913,529 of Goldenberg etc.In the system of Goldenberg, the light beam that light source sends is divided into the linear polarized beam of two quadratures.One of light beam is by a device afterwards, and this device makes the light beam rotation to change its polarization direction, so just forms the two light beams of identical polarization state.Then with the not coplanar of the beam direction prism of identical polarization state, focus on the LCD device after merging by prism.
A problem of this system is that light beam is not linear.Light beam to polarizer, causes a using light district and a unwanted light district with different angular illumination.This result causes using the light of all acquisitions.Another difficult point is the use coupling that is difficult to combined light beam and prism.Another complicacy is that prism is tending towards light beam is divided into different colors.This has reduced sharpness and brightness, and has limited the resolution of projection image.Another complicacy is that the performance of polarizer can change along with the light beam irradiates angle, thereby different polarization state and different gradations occur in light beam.
Other system, U.S. Pat 4 as Ledebuhr etc., 824,214, the U.S. Pat 4,127 of Jacobson etc., 322, the U.S. Pat 4 of Ledebuhr etc., 836,649, the United States Patent (USP) 3,512 of Gorklewiez etc., 868 also disclose a kind of optical design system, and this system is used for realizing high brightness in the display system of LCD device.In general, these systems are all comparatively complicated, and comprise a plurality of big, expensive and assemblies of being difficult to regulate.

In addition, the system in the another embodiment of the present invention imports the polarizer with the source beam of collimation, and source beam is divided into right side light and left side light, and every sidelight all has identical yawing moment.Then right side light and left side light are filtered elementary colorama (red, green and blue) separately.The pixel that each elementary colorama that separates all has the light beam appropriate section, this light beam changes its electric field intensity corresponding to the left and right sides input imagery by each LCD.Then the image separately of the elementary column of colour of left and right sides is merged into single left side and right side image.The left and right sides image is merged, resolves into different light beams by analyzer according to electric field intensity then, and more described a branch of polarized light is projected on the display screen.
In another embodiment, can obtain high-resolution image by foregoing method and system.Left side light beam along continuous straight runs or less amount of offset from vertical right side light beam (otherwise still) (i.e. pixel) on display screen.In this pattern, the driving circuit of liquid crystal LCD must separate an input imagery and make other each pixel send to right side or left side.
For three-dimensional image of projection, the input imagery that separates corresponding to observer's right and left eyes (being different visual angles, space) is input to left and right sides LCD separately.The observer can be chosen in and be with pair of eyeglasses on the eyes, makes glasses on the right eye be used to watch the image along the first direction polarization, and the glasses on the left eye are watched the image at the different directions polarization.If the signal that offer driving circuit, is used for a left side/right side provides unlike signal corresponding to the different spaces angle mode of right and left eyes, the observer will see three-dimensional image.The left and right sides image that these separate also can be realized 3-D effect without glasses by the sequential of the 3-D effect that obtains.
As an example, system construction is used to observe eyeglasses different orthogonal or different circular polarization images for beholder's glasses comprise one.The left eye lens arrangement becomes to be used to watch the P polarized light, and the right eye lens arrangement becomes to be used to watch the S polarized light.Perhaps, as an example, the left eye lens arrangement becomes to be used to watch right-hand circularly polarized light, and the right eye lens arrangement becomes to be used to watch left light.
As another example, native system adopts the polarization screen and without glasses.This screen is made by a kind of transparent material, and this material has that two or more different polarizations are filmed or layer.The electric field intensity that each is filmed or layer reflects the electric field intensity of a certain specific orientation and sees through other all orientations.Each continuous layer or film differs from one another.This make image specific part with certain depth or in fact the form of 3D see.These types the layer or film and can obtain from OCLI.About usually discussing, see James D.Rancourt, at 1987 McGraw-Hill Optical andElectro-optical Engineering Seris, on " Optical Thin Films User ' sHandbook ".

Referring to Fig. 3, the collimated light beam 50 that sends from light source 32 is transformed into a single polarization 30, the cross section structure that this polarised light has or shape (referring to Fig. 5) and LCD display 34 Cross section structure or form fit. As an example, LCD 34 displays are one and have square The LCD of the unthreaded hole of shape peripheral structure.
This respect of the present invention comprises in the light path of an alignment: a polarization beam apparatus 36, Half-wave ratarder 38 and first speculum 40, second speculum 42, the 3rd anti-Penetrate the configuration of mirror 44 and the 4th speculum 46, this disposes each that penetrates from polarization beam apparatus 36 Individual light beam is merged into the cross sectional shape of its cross section structure or shape and LCD display 34 Join single bundle polarised light 30 of merging. Can be placed on LCD to suitable colored filter 48 Between display 34 and the combined light beam.
The mode that forms collimated light beam 50 is described now. Light source 32 and reflective optical device or After device 41 produces one by collimation optics such as lens 43 or light integration as shown in figure 27 The non-polarized light beam 50 of apparatus 63 collimations.
Light or optical integration apparatus are made by a plurality of light pipes shown in Figure 27 A, each light pipe Adjacent with one or more other light pipes and contact. Each light pipe is by a first lens table Face 45, main body 75 and second lens surface 71 form. Light source 31 is sent out to the surface of main body 75 Beam 73, main body 75 is landed at required reservation shape place. The work on first lens surface 45 With being that light beam 73 is bent towards each other the more direction of collimation. Main body 75 is the light beam carrier band To second lens surface 71, it has phase with first lens surface 45 and second lens surface 71 Refractive index together. Reduced like this interface number that light beam 73 must pass. Continue forward light beam 73 incide second lens surface 71 that lands at the reservation shape place, and bend towards more quadrature again Direction; Thereby the light beam that penetrates surface 71 collimates basically. Lens surface 45 Hes 71 can have also and can not have identical shape or form, and this depends on several factors, these because of Element includes but not limited to: the size of light source, the shape of light source, the type of light source, light source to the The distance of one lens surface 45, the length of main body 75 and size, integrator second lens surface 71 distance and commercial known other factorses to target.
Again referring to Fig. 3, as selection, light source 32 and reflective optical device thereof or install 41 shapes Become unpolarized collimated light beam 50. Unpolarized collimated light beam 50 passed through polarization beam apparatus 36 minutes Become orthogonal polarized light beam separately-P light beam 52 and S light beam 54. The P light beam Pass polarization beam apparatus 36 and point to first speculum 40, become folded light beam through 90 ° of corner reflections again 53 and reflex on the LCD display 34. S light beam 54 is polarized beam splitter 36 deflections Half-wave ratarder 38 is also passed in 90 ° of angles. Half-wave ratarder 38 changes the electricity of S light beam 54 The field vows that orientation is to form the 2nd P light beam 56. This 2nd P light beam 56 is anti-by second Penetrate 90 ° of angles of mirror 42 reflections. The 3rd speculum 44 and the 4th speculum 46 are used for the interception reflection The 2nd P light beam 56, and light beam is divided into two bundles and reflecting bundle 53 equidirectionals emissions Reflecting bundle 58 and 60 separately. Then, the reflecting bundle 53 that separates of three beams, 58 and 60 merges Become the electric field with single bundle orientation to vow the single beam of (P polarization) and through suitable colorized optical filtering Sheet 48 guiding LCD displays 34.
Referring to Fig. 4, each speculum can be by a kind of preferred geometric form such as first speculum 40 Shape consists of, as the periphery of rectangle or square (namely square is a branch of rectangle) Shape, its interception is generally the light beam (namely 52) of circle or collimation, like this from mirror reflects Light beam also be square or matrix structure. This kind layout configurations will produce geometry and be similar to The folded light beam of used mirror shapes and size is because the geometry of speculum will be reflected Beam replication. As shown in Figure 5, such configuration allows from the pros of first speculum, 40 reflections Shaped light beam 53, from the rectangular light beam 60 of the 4th speculum 46 reflection and from the 3rd speculum 44 Rectangular light beam 58 alignment of reflection, thereby the LCD display 34 that generally has rectangular profile The place produces a single beam. Outside the rectangle of the rectangular profile of single beam 30 and LCD display 34 The unthreaded hole coupling of shape and especially LCD display 34.
With reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, method and system of the present invention can be summarized as follows: utilize light source 32 produce unpolarized collimated light beam 50; Utilize polarization beam apparatus 36 non-polarized light beam 50 Be divided into orthogonal polarized light beam (i.e. a P polarised light 52 and S polarised light 54) separately; On first orthogonal beams 52 guiding, first speculum 40 to produce first folded light beam 53; Two orthogonal beams 54 (S light beam 54) lead and pass half-wave ratarder 38, thus handle The polarization direction of second orthogonal beams 54 (S light beam 54) is transformed into and first orthogonal beams 52 (the 2nd P light beams) have second folded light beam 56 of identical polarization direction; Second Orthogonal beams 56 (the 2nd P light beam) guiding second speculum 42 and through 90 ° reflection; Second folded light beam 56 guiding, third and fourth speculums 44,46, these speculums are the Two folded light beams 56 reflect second 90 °, and second folded light beam 56 is divided into the 3rd reflection Light beam 58 and the 4th reflecting bundle 60; Merge reflecting bundle separately, be about to the first folded light beam (P Polarization) the 53, the 3rd folded light beam (P polarization) the 58 and the 4th folded light beam (P polarization) 60 Be merged into the single beam bundle 30 of a single polarization, and it has the square with LCD display 34 The rectangular profile of shape profile coupling.
Speculum 40,42,44,46 or other reflection unit in position, with orthogonal beams 52, intersect in 56 path, LCD display 34 produce by the folded light beam 53,58 of separating, 60 merge the single beam that forms. What Fig. 3 represented only is so a kind of configuration: speculum 40,42, 44,46 have plane surface. In the described embodiment of Fig. 3, the 3rd speculum 44 and Four speculums 46 are positioned at the both sides of first speculum 40. Speculum 40,44 and 46 and quadrature Light beam 52,56 paths intersect also can have other to arrange. Such as the 3rd speculum 44 and Four speculums 46 are arranged in a side of first speculum 40. But at LCD display 34 places, Final gained single beam is the same in function. Speculum 40,44,46 layout also can To be different from other layout shown in Fig. 3 and the 3B. The layout of speculum in Fig. 3 A﹠3B Not identical. This external mirror 40,44,46 shape and layout can be made at LCD and show Device 34 places produce foursquare light beam.
Consider the form factor of light source, shown in Fig. 4 A, and hereinafter described, light beam 30 is fair Permitted light beam that light source 32 basically the produces LCD display 34 that is used to throw light on. Utilize light beam 30, Can regulate at an easy rate minimum number element (be polarization beam apparatus 36, half-wave ratarder 38, Speculum 40,42,44,46) to obtain final single beam at LCD display 34 places, should Light beam has required shape and single polarization direction (being that single electric field is vowed orientation). Shown in real The polarization direction of executing final light beam in the example is the P polarization direction. Perhaps, light beam 30 is also configurable One-tenth produces a S light beam at LCD display 34 places, perhaps other selected polarization side To.
In addition, can rotate half-wave ratarder 38 with tuning institute from half-wave ratarder 38 outgoing Get light beam 56, make it the polarization side with a P light beam 52 that penetrates polarization beam apparatus 36 To exact matching. In addition, can also regulate at an easy rate or reset speculum (40,42,44, 46) thus to need the final light beam of profile at LCD display 34 places.
In Fig. 3 A, the half-wave retardation of light beam realizes with the device beyond the half-wave ratarder 38. This can pass through from second speculum, 42 folded light beams 54 (S polarization), form quarter-wave Postpone to finish. Each light beam also is delayed four again from speculum 44,46 reflections of correspondence then / one wavelength. This causes S light beam 54 by half-wave retardation, become P light beam 58, 60. System shown in Fig. 3 A is more more preferred than Fig. 3, because it needs element still less. This Kind of speculum can be from Galifornia, Santa Rosa, OCLI company obtain these parts Be numbered 777-QWM001～777-QWM002.
Speculum 42,44 shown in Fig. 3 A, 46 can be by the film coating technology by forming it On coating consist of. Each speculum 42,44,46 is except can be used as a broadband reflector Outside can also be used as a quarter-wave delayer.
Film coating may also be referred to as dielectric film, and namely the electronics in this material atom is so tight Thickly be combined in nuclear around, even also can ignore electric current applying under the high electric field. Each The thickness of individual film or layer change in very wide scope, but when the thickness of film during in wavelength magnitude Be known as film. These films have many layers, and one of them is at another top, this just by Be called plural layers, as shown in Figure 6. Every one deck reflects suitable ripple according to the structure of separately design Electric field long or suitably orientation is vowed. These layers are typically receiving substrate by the vacuum deposition calmness End face on. This comprises evaporating materials and the steam atom is struck with speed in a predetermined manner On the substrate. Typical material comprises MgF2、SiO 2、AL 2O 3, C (diamond), ZnS, TiO2, CdS, CdTe, GaAs, Ge, Si, Ag, Au, PbS and many other materials Material.
Because the use electrolyte, thus the refractive index of every one deck and adjacent layer differ from one another, Although they also may be identical in some cases.
Light is from each layer and boundary reflection and transmission (seeing Fig. 6). These from each at the interface The light wave fields of transmission and reflection is interact with each other. The material difference of film and the optics of film Thickness difference, the result of acquisition are also different. The device of making by this way can be on substrate tool One film to the hundreds of layer is arranged. For example by suitable design, coating can change incident The phase place of linearly polarized photon. The effect of this coating is equivalent to quarter-wave plate on effect. Close Several papers have been delivered in this theme, specifically: " Phase Retardance of periodic Multilayer Mirrors, ", Appl.Opt., 21 (4): 733 (1982), Joseph H.Apf el, " Graphical Method to Design to Design internal Reflection Phase Shift ", Appl.Opt., 19 (16): 2688, (1980), William H.Southwell.
In another kind design, the polarized lightwave of coating reflection incident also thereby strengthens the P polarization Reflection. This design can reflect whole spectrum and effect is equivalent to a broadband mirrors.
The element that produces the system of single beam 30 can be made by the commercial parts that can access. Light source 32 can be any suitable bulb, such as the short arc light modulation, and quartzy halogen lamp, mercury/xenon steam Long arc lamp etc. Usually, this lamp can produce high intensity point source effectively. This lamp is passable Have all size and different spectral qualities. Many manufacturers can make higher source luminance (brightness is greater than 15,000 lumens), these manufacturers comprise Optical Radiation Corporation Azusa, Califomia, but be not limited to this. Also can shown in Fig. 9 A, use and to produce institute Need other light source of wavelength and different output brightness (spectrum or spatial distribution). Most of light source Visible, the infrared and ultraviolet spectra that comprises different proportion. Also can make light source with laser.
Polarization beam apparatus 36 can be any known device. For example can be suitable by being deposited on Electrolytic thin-membrane lamination in substrate (such as glass) forms. These laminations can be by height Index film is alternately made, and each film has quarter-wave optical thickness, can See that the light wavelength Center is about 550nm. At the interface, light is with cloth scholar between film and film This special angle incident, its transmission P polarised light and reflection S polarised light. The number of plies depends on finally required Output quantity, it can be decided body according to the profit and loss between required cost/performance and make. Can Make the shape of glass cube, be coated with and be deposited upon on the diagonal, perhaps also can be at a glass Deposit multilayer on the glass, and another sheet glass can be glued to the front portion as selecting, form one Individual interlayer, deposit multilayer coating between two blocks of glass. This purpose is to protect lamination to avoid mill Wipe or and contact with air. The layout of monolithic glass or two blocks of glass can form a cost of manufacture and reach Weight all is lower than the polarization beam apparatus of cube polarizer.
Light preferably shines the surface of layer with 45° angle, with the normal direction of beam littler skew is arranged, Thereby the incidence angle between key-course and the light beam well. The U.S. at MacNeille is special Sharp US2,403,731 or the U.S. Pat 2,449,287 of Flood in this polarization branch has been described The bundle device. A kind of coml polarization beam apparatus that can be used for herein can be from California's Santa Rosa, Perkin Elmer Corporation, Electro-Optical Division Normalk, Connecticut or OCLI Corporation obtain. Ripple for polarization beam apparatus Long response curve as shown in figure 10.
These film coatings that are layered on polarizer or the polarization beam apparatus diagonal can be can Process the coating of high energy beam such as laser beam. They can process entering of every square centimeter of very high wattage Penetrate energy.
The speculum 40 (OCLI Corporation, Santa Rosa, California, the part that select No.777BBM001) must be one effectively anti-to the P polarised light of required certain wave strong point Penetrate device. According to the structure of system, speculum 42,44,46 both can be selected quarter-wave Delayer also can be selected broadband mirrors. If use the quarter-wave speculum, they Part number be 777QWM001 and 777-QWM002. If use broadband mirrors, they Part number be 777-BBM002 and 777-BBM003. The speculum of these models can from Santa Rosa, OCLI Corporation, California obtains. For example, this speculum can by Being coated in a suprabasil film forms. Film is by a kind of broadband coating formation of visible light. Because the reflectivity properties of metal, known metal film mirror reflects P polarised light than S polarised light more For effectively. Because this known efficiency factor, the present invention converts the S polarized wave to the P polarization Ripple.
The film reflecting mirror that herein can accept can be from Santa Rosa, OCLI Corporation, California obtains. Film coating is known as laser coatings, and it can process high-energy light beam guiding (W/cm2)。
Half-wave ratarder 38 (as shown in Figure 3) can be the optics unit of known delayer one class Part is for the polarization direction that changes incident light wave. By delayer, the light ratio incident light of outgoing Electric field vow that direction postpones the phase value of scheduled volume. Light one comes out its relative phase from delayer Just be different from initial value, polarization state (orientation that electric field is vowed) is also just different like this. Usually handle The retardation plate that produces 90 ° of relative phase differences is called half-wave ratarder.
Half-wave ratarder can be made by biaxial crystal material such as mica, also can align with stretching The sheet of plastics material, thin-film electrolyte of long-chain organic molecule (as by OCLI Corporation, Santa Rosa, California makes), a plurality of LCD, be coated with the film electrolysis The speculum of matter, LCD and be coated with combination and the quartz crystal of the speculum of thin-film electrolyte Deng manufacturing. Preferably regulating (namely by brilliant with half-wave ratarder 38 in embodiments of the present invention The rotation of body) becomes: the polarization state that penetrates the P light beam 56 of delayer 38 (seeing Fig. 3) Accurately mate with the P polarization state of the P light beam 52 that penetrates polarizer cube 36. Also can adopt other device except half-wave ratarder to change or the polarization side of commutating optical beam To.
By non-limiting example, the system and the method thereof that consist of according to the present invention possess following Result and be better than the advantage of existing illuminator: produce rectangle singularity light beam, this will have Effect ground is full of the aperture of LCD display; The divergence of gained light beam in the LCD demonstration is less than it Its synthetic method is namely than the combined method in the U.S. Pat 4,913,529 of Goldenberg Little.
Light projector
Referring now to Fig. 8,, a kind of projecting apparatus that expression consists of according to the embodiment of the invention among the figure. For convenience's sake, only mark the direction of expression light path position and be not to indiscriminately imitate actual cloth among the figure Put. The exemplary components that links different light paths also can adopt other layout.
Light source 32 (being short arc xenon lamp, quartzy halogen lamp, mercuryvapour/long arc light xenon lamp etc.) emission Be collimated into the light on the beam source 50, this light beam is propagated to the left, its comprise visible, infrared and The wave spectrum of ultraviolet light. (most of light source comprises the light of above all wavelengths; But ratio wherein Example is different. See the dissimilar light source shown in the Tu9 ﹠9A). According to the requirement of using, The lamp source can be any device that is suitable for producing collimated light beam. The characteristics of light source can be modified as suitable In specific application.
The visible light that human eye can be seen is in the wave-length coverage of 400～700nm, and (this is many institutes Known, and can from reference book or university teaching, check in, also the light adaptation of visible Figure 10 is rung Answer curve). The non-visible wave band of 200nm～400nm is called the ultra-violet (UV) band, 700nm～1500nm Non-visible wave band be called infrared region. Infrared band (greater than 700nm) and ultraviolet band are (little In 400nm) wattage of the radiant light energy that provides is harmful to the optical element of system, But to common human eye be safe from harm (optical response plot of seeing Figure 10). Because this reason, The collimated light beam 50 that sends from light source 32 speculum 33 that leads left, this speculum is a kind of two To look/thin film dielectric speculum. Dichroic/thin film dielectric speculum can play wave filter Effect. Usually, it is long that the speculum of these types is configured to transmission (namely passing through) all wavelengths In the light of (or being shorter than) reference wavelength and reflect non-transmissive light. The reflection of speculum 33 and saturating Penetrate characteristic and be shown in Figure 12.
The wavelength that shines the front surface coating is reflected 90 ° downwards to reflection less than the light of 700nm Mirror 35 (seeing Fig. 8). The infrared part 141 of source beam 50 (wavelength is greater than 700nm) sees through Speculum 33 also shines the 161 beam blocking absorbers that represent among the figure. The beam blocking absorber 161 can be made of a black aluminum material (being preferably with fin so that radiations heat energy), should Aluminium absorbs the infrared wavelength of source beam 50 and sends the energy of absorption, this with the form of heat again A little energy that absorb can carry from system and it does not guided in the lived composition. Perhaps, Also can adopt other suitable facility to absorb infrared wavelength in the place of black aluminium block. In addition, Can adopt other suitable separation or filtering except dichroic/thin film dielectric speculum 33 The facility of source beam 50 infrared compositions.
Its commplementary wave length that produces the source beam 50 of new source beam 55 is reflected downwards by speculum 33 90 ° and shine the front surface of speculum 35. When utilizing speculum 33, speculum 35 shapes Become a wave filter, so that produce the visible part of the source beam 55 of new source beam 57 (wavelength of 430-700nm is seen Figure 13 A) is transmitted to a polarizer of speculum 35 light paths Cube 36. The ultraviolet portion 37 (wavelength is less than 439nm) of source beam 55 reflects 90 ° left To beam blocking absorber 161. ( speculum 33 and 35 characteristic curve are shown in Figure 12 and 13). Perhaps, also can in the position of dichroic/film reflecting mirror 35 and beam blocking absorber 161 To be provided for separating and absorbing other facility of source beam ultraviolet composition.
Then, source beam 57 guiding are used for 57 of source beams are biased into two orthogonal polarized light beams Facility 36. In the present invention embodiment shown in Figure 8, polarizer cube 36 is used for handle Source beam 57 is divided into P polarised light 52 and S polarised light 54. Obviously, when the polarizer cube be The polarizer of mentioning or one deposit the glass of film polarizing coating or one on it When the film polarization layer was clipped in laminated glass between the glass, these polarizer cubes also can be used In consisting of native system.
A kind of suitable polarizer cube 36 shown in the embodiment of the invention is in prior art In be a kind of known birefringent polarizer. Be called especially for the polarizer among the application The MacNeille polarizer, it is 2,403, and 731 and 2,449, describe to some extent in No. 287 patents, with On done in general manner and to have discussed.
If press film MacNeille polarizer structure, polarizer 36 is because film coating can be right The ultraviolet of spectrum and infrared part are very responsive; Thereby enter into polarizer cube 36 at light beam Before, the wavelength by speculum 33 filterings is useful. This is because ultraviolet light is coated with in causing The decay of layer, infrared ray optical direction cause in the polarizer 36 form overheated. The polarizer coating begins to absorb The energy that 425nm is following will impair the efficient of coating. (see Figure 11, suitable polarizer The wavelength response figure of cube 36). Polarizer 36 is biased into two quadratures to 57 of source beams Light beam 52 and 54, the two has equal sectional area but different polarization directions. P is inclined to one side Light 52 straightline propagations of shaking shine speculum 40, the there by 90 ° of deflections left. Source beam is vertical The S polarization part of another polarization composition, the source beam of side's body 36, be that light beam 54 is from polarization 45 ° of the scarf of the polarizing coating of device cube 36 deflections left. This S polarised light 54 passes through Half-wave polarization retarder 38 or by from the conversion of coated reflector 42,44 and 46 reflection quilts or Change over the polarization direction of P polarised light.
The front to the requirement of half-wave ratarder 38 and from speculum 42,44,46 anti-Penetrate with code requirement and carried out discussing in general manner.
Half-wave ratarder 38 thereby produce the 2nd a P light beam 56. The 2nd P polarised light Bundle 56 shines speculum 42 and downward 90 ° of polarizations, there by speculum 44 and 46 to Left reflection. Speculum 40,42,44 and 46 is front surface broadband reflecting mirrors, will keep light The P polarization direction of bundle. These speculums 40,42,44 and 46 reflecting surface are general in addition Rectangular shape, so that generally also be rectangle from the light beam of its reflection. This is so that final form The single polarization bundle generally also has the contour structures of rectangle, so as with the unthreaded hole of LCD coupling. This The final single polarization bundle 30 of sample is the twice of its original size, and has identical with LCD Rectangular area, it will continue incident and be in a kind of polarization state, i.e. the P polarization.
Perhaps, can use in the position of polarizer cube 36 any other suitable facility with Produce orthogonal polarized light beam (52,54). In addition, can also arrange except half-wave ratarder 38 In addition facility changes the polarization direction of one of (or change) light beam 54, as from the coating speculum 42,44,46 reflection. And can use except speculum 40,42,44 and 46 Other facility merge light beam 52 and 56. At last can be speculum 40,42,44 and 46 layouts that are placed to other to be producing final single polarization bundle 30, the shape of light beam 30 with The rectangular profile of LCD or LCD unthreaded hole coupling.
At this moment, rectangular polarized light bundle 30 incides the coating surface of speculum 80 (it is equivalent to The effect of filtering apparatus), be divided into two-beam 132,134 at there; Light beam 132 is with 90 ° Angle upper deflecting (as shown in Figure 8), and light beam 134 continues left through speculum 80. To The deflected beam 132 of upper propagation is a kind of 600～700nm (red section of visible spectrum that comprises Branch) light beam of wavelength, or a kind of light beam that comprises the predetermined portions of spectrum, and be in P Deflection state. At this moment, light beam 132 shines as on the speculum 82 of second filtering apparatus. Figure 14 represents the reflection characteristic of speculum 80 and 82. Clearly, these speculums are chosen to instead Penetrate the red part of visible spectrum, and allow less than other of the wavelength of 600nm or spectrum pre-Certain portions is passed through. Speculum 82 is filtering deflected beam 132 also, thereby so that itself and required The CIE responses match obtains good color balance (seeing Figure 10 A﹠10B). As an example, The speculum curve (Figure 14) of speculum 82 can be to right translation, thereby can pass through 615nm Following wavelength or other predetermined portions of spectrum, and it is darker that deflected beam is presented human eye Redness. Any " useless " wavelength will pass speculum 82 and shine the red beam stop part Divide 136, and useful wavelength turns to 90 ° angle left avertence,, be somebody's turn to do by a LCD at there LCD is called red LCD 138. Beam blocking part 136 can be according to hindering with aforesaid light beam Gear absorber 161 identical modes are made.
Red LCD 138 (and green LCD 140 and blue LCD 142) is a kind of changing Become its birefringence, change the type of vowing orientation by its optical electric field thus, it is with board layout Form, with each pixel 100 (seeing Fig. 2 A). Red LCD138 drives by electronic circuit Moving, wherein each unit changes separately according to the vector of the visual rotating electric field of required demonstration Highlights (change by " distortion " or rotating and excursion state, see Fig. 2 A, or by applying electricity Press and change). The resolution ratio of projection image will depend on the unit number among the LCD. 320 levels resemble The demonstration that the demonstration of element * 240 vertical pixels will produce 76,800 pixels. Typical television set is 115,000 pixels. Thereby the red deflected beam 132 by red LCD138 is at this moment The red beam 144 of a branch of change, it comprises that a kind of combination for each pixel of display is inclined to one side The attitude of shaking is vowed by driving the electric field that electronic circuit can make each pixel have predetermined orientation. As After this explain more fully that equally this resembles the rotation amount of each pixel polarization state with final decision Have how much light also finally shines for the display screen that shows by all distances. In this point On, the red beam 144 of change shines on the speculum 92 and with polarization on 90 ° of angles. Instead The purpose of penetrating mirror 92 is to merge the red beam 144 of change and the green beam 152 that changes (as shown in Figure 8). Speculum 92 thereby as merging device. The response song of speculum 92 Line is shown in Figure 16. Preferably speculum 92 not change red beam 144 or shine it On the polarization state of any light beam (namely change green beam 152).
Then, the red beam 144 of the change of polarization (from speculum 92) continues across reflection Mirror 90, speculum 90 can be by any wavelength (seeing Figure 17) greater than 515nm, or can Other predetermined portions by spectrum. The purpose of speculum 90 is the red beams 144 that will change Merge with the green beam 152 that changes and the blue light beam 160 that changes. So speculum 90 Also as a kind of merging device. Speculum 90 does not preferably change any light beam on it of shining Polarization state (orientation that electric field is vowed). The red beam 144 that changes is by after the speculum 90 Continue to incide on the last polarizer that is known as polarization analyzer 146. Polarization analyzer 146 Also can be the polarizer cube that consists of according to the MacNeille polarizer, perhaps as mentioned above On glass or be clipped in the polarizer cube that consists of between two sheet glass at one. Each pixel The electric field of the P orientation of light beam vows that will pass polarization analyzer 146 enters into projecting lens 148, And invest display screen according to the magnifying power of projecting lens 148 as the part of light beam 178 and (see Fig. 8). The vector composition that in the red beam 144 that changes is not P vector composition will be polarized Analyzer 146 is polarization and received by beam blocking device 150 left. Figure 1B is tool of expression How the vector composition of body is divided into the schematic diagram of two compositions, and wherein each composition has Different electric fields is vowed. Beam blocking device 150 can be according to aforementioned beam blocking absorber 161 phases Mode is together made. Like this, the electricity of the direct red beam with changing of the red light intensity of sightingpiston The rotation amount that vow the field is directly proportional.
The rectangular light beam 30 of single polarization state again, this light beam incides the coating of speculum 80, Be divided into two bundles 132,134 at there. Red beam 132 is upward deflected, other light beam, Blue green beam 134 continues to propagate left by speculum 80. Pass speculum 80 and to The bluish-green light beam 134 of left propagation is a branch of 415nm of comprising～600nm wavelength (indigo plant of visible spectrum The green glow part) or other predetermined portions of spectrum and the light beam that is in the P deflected state. Speculum 80 response curve is shown in Figure 14. Next, bluish-green light beam 134 shines speculum 84 Face coat, and the green portion 154 of light beam (500-600nm, or other of spectrum is predetermined Part) upward deflect 90 ° to green LCD140, simultaneously, the blue portion 156 of light beam (425-500nm, or other predetermined portions of spectrum) continues across speculum 84 and logical left To speculum 86. Speculum 84 is as a green device, and its response curve is shown in Figure 18.
Green beam 154 passes green LCD. Each LCD unit is according to the figure of required demonstration Resemble, change the various piece of green beam by the orientation of rotating electric field arrow. Thereby, by The green beam 152 of the change of green LCD140 is a branch of change, comprise display each The green beam 152 of pixel yawing moment combination, each pixel is tool by driving electronic circuit The predetermined orientation that has electric field to vow. This resembles the rotation amount of the deflection state of each pixel with final decision Have how much light also finally shines for the demonstration that shows by the omnidistance of deflection analyzer 146 Screen (not shown among Fig. 8). In this, the green beam 152 of change shines reflection Mirror 92. As previously mentioned, the purpose of speculum 92 is green beams 152 of merging change and changes The red beam 144 (seeing Figure 17) that becomes. The green beam 152 that changes is by speculum 92 And upwards propagate. The speculum 92 not green beam 152 of change or other shines on it The deflection state of any light beam (red beam 144 of change).
Then, the green beam 152 of change continues by speculum 90, and this is because speculum 90 can be predetermined greater than other of the light (seeing Figure 17) of 501nm or spectrum by any wavelength Part. As previously mentioned, the purpose of speculum 90 is that the blue light beam 160 that changes (is seen Figure 16 Response curve about speculum) and the light beam 144 of the change that has merged and 152 carry out Merge. Preferably speculum 90 does not change any incident on it or from the deflection shape of its light beam that passes Attitude.
Pass after the speculum 90, the green beam 152 of change continues across the polarization analyzer 146. The green beam 152 that changes will pass the light of any P polarization part of each pixel Analyzer 146 enters into projecting lens 148, and becomes trend of purchasing according to the magnifying power of projecting lens The part of the light beam 178 of display screen (not shown). Non-P in the green beam 152 that changes The vector composition of polarization composition (S composition) will hinder by analyzer 146 deflection left and by light beam Lug-latch 150 absorbs. The green light intensity in sightingpiston place is direct and green beam electric field arrow like this Rotation amount is directly proportional.
Shine again the coating surface of speculum 84 and be divided into two-beam 154,156 Bluish-green light beam, green beam 154 upward deflect 90 °, and blue light beam 156 continues across reflection Mirror 84 left. Passing speculum 84 blue light beam 156 left is a branch of comprising Other predetermined portions of 415nm～500nm wavelength (blue portion of visible spectrum) or spectrum Light beam, it is the P polarization state. Blue light beam 156 continues to propagate and shine speculum 86 left Face coat (speculum 86 can be a positive broadband mirrors; But blue light must be protected Hold the P polarization state), and blue light beam (415-500nm, perhaps other reservations of spectrum Branch) upward deflected 90 ° of directional mirrors 88. The wavelength response curve of speculum 84 is shown in figure 15.
At this moment, incide on the speculum 88 with further from the light beam 156 of speculum 86 reflection Filter. Filter further and can be undertaken by 88 pairs of blue light beams of speculum 156, so that its The CIE response (see Figure 10 A, 10B) required with the excellent color balance is complementary. For example, Speculum 88 can be configured to a kind of curve speculum as shown in figure 18, and curve is to left, The so above wavelength of transmissive 495nm or other predetermined portions of spectrum, and make light beam to the people Eye manifests darker blueness. Any " useless " wavelength will pass speculum 88 and incide blueness Beam blocking thing 158, simultaneously useful beam 90 ° of deflections are to the right passed blue LCD at there 142. Blue light beam obstacle 158 can be according to identical with aforesaid beam blocking absorber 161 Mode make up. As previously mentioned, speculum 88 does not change the polarization state of blue light beam 156, This point is very important. The blue portion of blue light beam 156 passes blue LCD 142. Whenever Each light part is vowed to change by the visual rotating electric field that shows according to hope in individual unit. Thereby, The blue light beam 160 of the change by blue LCD 142 is the blueness of a branch of change at this moment Light beam, it comprises the combination of each pixel polarization direction of display, each pixel is by driving electricity Sub-circuit and have predetermined electric field and vow orientation. The rotation amount of the polarization state of each pixel is final Decision have how much luminous energy by and omnidistance shine finally that (Fig. 8 does not show for the screen that shows Go out) on. On this aspect, the blue light beam 160 of change shines speculum 90 and upwards reflection 90 °, thus merge with the red beam 144 that changes and the green beam 152 that changes. Speculum 90 allow anyly to be reflected less than the wavelength of 500nm or other predetermined portions of spectrum. Speculum 90 not blue light beam 160 or any polarization shapes that shine other light beam on it of change Attitude, this point are very important. The blue light beam 160 that change this moment continues to incide analyzer 146. For will passing analyzer 146, the vector composition of P polarization composition enters into throwing in each pixel light beam Shadow lens 148, and be projected to one of light beam 178 according to the magnifying power of projecting lens towards screen Part. The vector composition (S vector composition) of non-P vector composition in the blue light beam 160 that changes To absorb by analyzer 146 deflection left and by beam blocking thing 150. Beam blocking thing 150 Can make according to the mode of aforementioned beam blocking absorber 161. Thereby blue light beam is being observed The intensity of face directly is directly proportional with the rotation amount that blue electric field is vowed.
On this aspect, all colours of demonstration (red, green and blue) has passed system and projection is saturating Mirror 148 projects on the display screen (not shown among Fig. 8). They produce in separately top merging Give birth to the pixelation image with color balance of correction.
Projecting lens 148 both can be that a simple lens also can be one and produces at display screen The set of lenses of well focussed image. A back focus is arranged in this system, and its distance equals from thoroughly The back of mirror each distance in the LCD138,140,142. All these three LCD Making distance equates.
Thereby the native system that will focus on and align must at first throw a kind of color and not have other Color. Projection is finished also and is throwed the second color along first kind of color again behind the focused image, The space is moved second color LCD and is produced a distinct figure with the top at first color pixel Resemble or pixel. Then that the whole image of the whole image of second color and first kind of color is right Together, thus size, focus on and collimation on intact coupling.
Next end again or stop the second color and throw the third along first kind of color again Color, space move the 3rd color LCD with distinct one of the top of first color pixel generation Image or pixel. Whole image with the third color aligns with the image of first kind of color again, Thereby intact coupling on size, focusing and collimation.
Open then all colors, image is projected to light beam 178, and do at this moment last Adjusting.
Can implement the wavelength that can be used for speculum 82 and 88 is selected in the property judged ground, make Must can redesign under the condition of whole optical system, by regulating the color of different lamps Balance realizes the colour balance (seeing Figure 10 A and 10B) of last output.
When projection image, when projecting lens increases to about 10 feet to the distance of display screen (about 305cm) apart from the time, the image brightness unexpectedly increase. At about 10 feet In the scope of (about 305cm), image also brightens when amplifying simultaneously, becomes before not resembling Secretly. Notice projecting lens 148 and each LCD138,140 and 142 when finding this phenomenon Between optical path length be approximately 13.5 inches (about 34cm). Parts shown in Fig. 8 as The plane that is arranged to shown in Figure 8, and by about 24 * 36 inches (about 61cm * 92cm) Rectangle surrounds.
Although this phenomenon do not understand fully, believe this distinctive effect be by light partially The destruction interference of the character of shaking and projection light wave produces. We think, when image hour, In very little zone, interfere a lot of nodal points, thereby reduced the light that arrives the plane. When When image is exaggerated nodal point further separate and the interference that occurs less. When certain size Do not interfere, the like this brightness of image when distance increases (with lumen/square metre or lumen/ Square feet is unit) along with more amplification reduces.
We think this moment, at this projecting apparatus but not before projecting apparatus in this kind phenomenon takes place Reason is single polarization state of projected light beam 178. It is whole that this projecting apparatus adopts identical polarizer to make Light path has identical polarization state, and former projecting apparatus uses different polarizations to each LCD Device, different thereby the arrangement that electric field is vowed occurs.
Example
The efficient of the system that makes up according to the present invention with utilize absorptive polarizers as follows to the efficient comparative analysis of the existing system of LCD display illumination:
Referring to Fig. 8.
Example 1: existing absorptive polarizers (Kodak or Sharp's projector)
Luminous flux=the L of light emitted
Area=the A of the ring of light Cir=π r 2
Unthreaded hole area-A of LCD LCD=length x width=6d * 8d=0.48d 2=0.48 (2r) 2=0.48 (4r 2)=1.92r 2(for a LCD of 3: 4: 5).
Incide the number percent=A of the light on the LCD owing to the LCD unthreaded hole LCD/ A Cir=1.92r 2/ π r 2=61.1%
The number percent of the light that absorptive polarizers is passed through=light summation %-uptake %=100%-70%=30%
The light output quantity * that shines the light quantity=lamp on the LCD incides the number percent=L*0.611*0.30 of the light that the number percent * polarizer of the light on the LCD passes through owing to the LCD unthreaded hole
For emission 1000 lumens and the lamp that is used for the LCD of 1 inch long-diagonal, through the light=1000*0.611*0.30=183 lumen of LCD incident.
Certainly, these analyze not other inefficiency problem of resolution system, as the efficient of second plastic polarizer, light assemble efficient, or the efficiency of transmission of LCD in the system.
Example 2: system of the present invention (Fig. 8)
Luminous flux=the L of light emitted
Area=the A of the ring of light Cir=π r 2
The unthreaded hole area A of LCD LCD=length x width=6d * 8d=0.48d 2=0.48 (2r) 2=0.48 (4r 2)=1.92r 2(for a LCD of 3: 4: 5)
Incide the number percent=A of the light on the LCD owing to the LCD unthreaded hole LCD/ A Cir=1.92r 2/ π r 2=61.1%
Lead to the number percent of the number percent of the light of LCD=the incide light on the LCD/the incide light number percent=A on the LCD unthreaded hole LCD/ A Cir=1.92r 2/ π r 2The * 100=59% of the efficient of=61.1% polarizer=(0.611*0.97)
Therefore, for the lamp of emitting light flux 1000 lumens and the LCD of one inch long-diagonal, the luminous flux that incides LCD is 1000*0.59 or 590 lumens.
This gives for existing systems and improves greater than 3.2 times.
Referring to Fig. 8 A, with identical parts Fig. 8 is carried out functional description, but save the label of parts for simplicity.According to function these parts are divided in groups, but also can in group, be replaced, remove or add other parts as required.Fig. 8 A is depicted as and realizes the related step of method of the present invention.
In Fig. 8 and 8A, light source 32, reverberator 41, collimation lens 43, catoptron 33, catoptron 35 and beam blocking device 161 are worked together, and details with reference to as described in the figure 8, produce the light beam 57 that is used for projector as above.
When light beam 57 has passed through deflection device 36, can finish initial decomposition as above with reference to as described in the figure 8, and light beam 57 initially is divided into the light beam 52,54 of two bundle quadratures to light beam 57.Initial decomposition also comprises by making light beam through half-wave ratarder light beam be postponed, and produces the identical light beam 56 of a branch of polarization state and light beam 52.
When two light beams have just formed light beam 30 from forming device 40,42,44 and 46 reflex times respectively, become single beam 30 as shown in Figure 5, details are described referring to top Fig. 3,3A and 3B.Forming device 40,44,46 also can adopt other layout except that Fig. 3 and 3B also to be fine.And form the shape of device 40,44,46 and layout and can make and to produce a rectangle or square light beam, or any other required geometric configuration.
As described in about Fig. 8, the separation of light beam realizes through tripping device 80,84,86 by making this light beam.It is after 80s that the light beam 30 that forms runs into tripping device, is divided into two-beam 132,134 at this.Light beams deflected 132 is upwards walked.Light beam 134 then shines tripping device 84, and is divided into two-beam 154,156 at there.Light beams deflected 154 is upwards walked.Light beam 156 then shines tripping device 86, and light beams deflected 154 is upwards walked here.
By making light beam pass the change that LCD 138,140,142 or other suitable modifier are realized separating light beam, as described in about Fig. 8.Each light beam all passes its LCD separately.Each liquid crystal cell changes the various piece of light beam by the orientation of rotating electric field vector according to the image that will show.Like this, be a branch of each pixel polarization combination of display, light beam that changes of comprising by light beam LCD, that change, each pixel is vowed by the electric field that driving circuit has predetermined orientation.How much light the rotation amount of each pixel polarization state has passed the entire path in the deflection device 146 this pixel of final decision and finally arrives the screen (Fig. 8 A is not shown) that is used for showing.
The adjusting of light beam 132,156 is finished by making light beam pass regulating device or catoptron 82,88 and beam blocking device 136,158.Any " useless " wavelength will pass catoptron or regulating device 82,88 and incide beam blocking device 136,158, and useful wavelength is then with 90 each LCD of degree deflection.Beam blocking device 136,158 can be made according to the mode of aforementioned beam blocking absorber 161, as above description about Fig. 8.
Light beam 144,152 and 160 merga pass make light beam finish through merging device or catoptron 90,92.If desired, these merge devices and also can see through by its wave beam/reflection characteristic is used for regulating.The light beam 134 that changes passes and merges device or catoptron 92, and the light beam 144 of Gai Bianing merges device 92 and is used for two-beam 144,152 is merged into single beam from merging device 92 polarizations simultaneously.Preferably merge device 92 and do not change any incide on it or from the polarization state of its light beam that passes.This combined light beam passes reflection unit 90.Preferably merge device 90 and do not change any incide on it or from the polarization state of its light beam that passes.The light beam 160 that merges the light beam 144,152 of device or 90 changes that merge of catoptron and change is merged into the light beam of the change of single bundle merging, as above description about Fig. 8.
After light beam is merged into single beam, with its guiding decomposer, resolve into two-beam through polarization beam apparatus 146 at there, the required light beam that separates leads to projection arrangement 148, as the detailed description with reference to figure 8.
Projection arrangement 148 both can be a simple lens, also can be a lens combination, as long as produce a good focusing image on screen.It has a back focus, its focal length with from the lens rear portion to system the distance of a device in the modifier 138,140,142 equate.This distance is all identical for three all modifiers.
