Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the description of drawings composition of the present invention and the course of work:
As shown in Figure 3, Figure 4, light source assembly of the present invention comprises lighting source, collimation lens set, light filter and polaroid, the polarization spectroscope that divides/close the polarized light splitting device of photosystem to be made up of two triangular prisms in these two embodiment is coated with wide wavelength polarization beam splitter or engraves the grating with polarization spectro function on the public cemented surface of two triangular prisms.The grating that the polarizer and analyzer adopt polaroid or have the polarization spectro function.
According to go out to inject branch/close photosystem from light source assembly is P polarized light or S polarized light, and two kinds of situations can be arranged:
1) if is 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 purified through the polarizer 9 so, incide the first wide wavestrip wave plate 10 then, change the P polarized light of A color of light into the S polarized light, and all the other two kinds of light still are the P polarized light.This three-beam incides polarization spectroscope (PBS) 11 then, and A color polarized light is reflected through polarization spectroscope 11, and B, C color polarized light are through the directly transmission of polarization spectroscope quilt.After the P polarized light of B, two kinds of colors of C transmits 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 P) is directly from the polarization spectroscope transmission so; B, C light (polarization state is S) through liquid crystal reflection arrive polarization spectroscope after dichronic mirror closes light, be polarized the spectroscope reflection, have so just realized the light that closes of A, B, C three coloured light, have 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 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 through behind the polarizer 9 so, incide the first wide wavestrip wave plate 10, change the S polarized light of A, two kinds of color of light of B into the P polarized light, C light still is the S polarized light.Then, this three-beam incides polarization spectroscope 11, and by transmission, C color polarized light directly reflects through polarization spectroscope through polarization spectroscope for A, B color polarized light.After in like manner the P 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.Close the principle and the 1st of light) the kind situation is similar.
Fig. 5 and embodiment illustrated in fig. 6 in polarized light splitting device adopt have the grating of polarization spectro function or in the transparent plate substrate plane polarization spectroscope of plating polarization beam splitter, the grating that the polarizer and analyzer adopt polaroid or have the polarization spectro function.The course of work of describing in the course of work of ray machine and the previous embodiment is identical.
Employing has the grating branch of polarization spectro function/close photosystem and has 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 U.S. MOXTEK company wire grating polaroid (WGP).
