Description
Technical field
The present invention is used for colour projection's display device at novel relating to, and more specifically refers to a kind of three-chip type projecting optical engine that improves uniformity of chromaticity.
Background technology
The insider knows, in the single-lens colour projection of three-chip type display device, often Red Green Blue is thrown light on to little display board with polarized light, ECDC synthesizes as system again, the image of these three kinds of different colours is lumped together, by being projected on the same screen after the same projection lens amplification, just finished the Projection Display of coloured image.Light path form with typical three-chip type transflective liquid crystal light engine illustrates its principle.
Typical case's light path as shown in Figure 1,1 be light source, 2 be inclined to one side unit, 3 be to divide a color element, 4,5,6 are respectively three little display boards of red, green, blue, 7 look like the unit for closing, 8 is projection objective, 9 is projection screen.The natural light of white sends from light source 1, after playing inclined to one side unit 2, become the polarized light of vertical direction, and be divided into red, green, blue three coloured light through minute color element 3, red, green, blue three coloured light are radiated at respectively on corresponding little display board 4,5,6 separately, close the ejaculation of picture back by closing as unit 7, red, blue light is the vertical vibrating direction at this moment, and green glow is the horizontal vibration direction, is imaged on the projection screen 9 through projection objective 8 again.
