In addition, such as Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 4, be provided with shadow shield 84 for the gap of the adjoiner of blocking each first framework 82.Shadow shield 84 is to avoid shining and the structure of shading to workpiece W without the light (nonpolarized light) of wire grid polarization element 81.
Fig. 5 be each the wire grid polarization element 81 in the expression polarizer unit 80 the maintenance structure overlook skeleton diagram.As shown in Figure 5, keep a wire grid polarization element 81 with first framework 82.
As shown in Figure 5, wire grid polarization element 81 is square tabular.The first framework 82 is square frame shapes (picture frame shape).The cross-sectional shape on each limit of the first framework 82 is L fonts, and has step.Wire grid polarization element 81 is held dropping under the state of this step.Wire grid polarization element 81 to the first frameworks 82 formed square openings are large, and keep under the state of sealing opening.The polarized light that penetrates from wire grid polarization element 81 passes this opening and shines workpiece W.
In addition, the first framework 82 is that square frame shape does not have certainty, but need at least be make the polarized light that penetrates from wire grid polarization element 81 by and arrive the shape of workpiece W.
In addition and since the first framework 82 be avoid for wire grid polarization element 81 directly acting force carry out structure towards the problem of adjusting, so be the high material of rigidity in order not produce when adjusting that distortion waits and wish.For example, form the first framework 82 with metals such as stainless steel or aluminium.
In the first framework 82, the side wall surface that forms step form than wire grid polarization element 81 slightly large analyse and observe square space.Wire grid polarization element 81 is held under the state of the bight butt that the side wall surface on two the adjacent limits that make bight and the first framework 82 consists of.
And, as shown in Figure 5, in order stably not keep loosely wiregrating polarizer 81 in the gap that between the side wall surface on other two limits of the first framework 82 and wire grid polarization element 81, forms, and there is bolster 811.Adopt elastic body as bolster 811, use in the present embodiment leaf spring.As shown in Figure 5, leaf spring is the crooked shape in shape ground of crawling, with the space-filling of the end face of wire grid polarization element 81 and each side wall surface and make the stable posture of wire grid polarization element 81.When using the metal springs such as aluminium or stainless steel as leaf spring, thus since can not produce by UV-induced deteriorated be preferred.
Keep the first framework 82 of each wire grid polarization element 81 in the 83 interior arrangements of the second framework, and keep with the second framework 83.The second framework 83 also is square frame shape as a whole.But, because a row ground arranges and keep a plurality of wire grid polarization elements 81, so as shown in Figure 3, be elongated square.The length direction of the second framework 83 is length directions of lamp 11, and is the Width of workpiece W.The Width of the second framework 83 is throughput directions of workpiece W.
As shown in Figure 2, the cross-sectional shape on one side of the frame of the second framework 83 also is the L font.In the second framework 83, less than the width of the first framework 82 at the separation spacing of the inner edge of the frame of the both sides that Width is observed.The separation spacing of the side wall surface of the step of observing at the Width of the second framework 83 is larger than the width of the first framework 82.The first framework 82 is arranged under the state of the step that drops into the second framework 83, and is kept by the second framework 83.In addition, the second framework 83 also is the metal-mades such as stainless steel or aluminium.
The polarized light that penetrates at each wire grid polarization element 81 is at the rectangular opening 830(of 83 one-tenth of the second frameworks as described in Figure 3) pass and shine workpiece W.In addition, the opening 830 of the second framework 83 seals by the first framework 82 and the shadow shield 84 that keeps wire grid polarization element 82.About the second framework 83, for square frame shape does not have certainty yet, but similarly need at least be make the polarized light that penetrates from each wire grid polarization element 81 by and arrive the shape of workpiece W.
Each wire grid polarization element 81 be provided with adjust each wire grid polarization element 81 towards adjusting mechanism.Each polarizer towards adjustment except the adjustment that the grid that makes as described above each wire grid polarization element 81 is arranged aligns in one direction, also have adopt with respect to workpiece W relative towards and make it the adjustment of aliging in the direction of regulation.In the present embodiment, adjusting mechanism does not make member directly touch each wire grid polarization element 81, but by the posture that changes the first framework 82 indirectly adjust each wire grid polarization element 81 towards mechanism.
For the first framework 82 adjusting mechanism is set respectively.That is, the first framework 82 is set as and can changes independently of one another posture by each governor motion.Each governor motion corresponding to the allocation position of each the first framework 82 on the second framework 83 with the predetermined distance setting.
Such as Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 4, each adjusting mechanism main composition is for having: adjusting pin 91; Bear pin 92; And pivot pin 93.Adjusting pin 91 is assemblied on the limit of length direction of the second framework 83.Bearing pin 92 is assemblied on another limit of length direction.Adjusting pin 91 is relative state with bearing the Width of pin 92 at the second framework 83.Adjusting pin 91 and bear pin 92 and be fixed on the pedestal 911,921, each pedestal 911,921 is fixed on the second framework 83.
Pivot pin 93 is to make the first framework 82 can be around the structure of vertical axle rotation in order to adjust.Pivot pin 93 is cylindric, is fixed on the limit identical with having assembled the limit of bearing pin 92.On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4, to be formed with horizontal cross-sectional shape be circular pin with hole 821 at the lower surface of the first framework 82.Pin is formed on the bight of the first framework 82 with hole 821.Pin is the holes that connect the first framework 82 with hole 821, but also can be the above degree of depth of height of pivot pin 93.
As shown in Figure 4, the first framework 82 that keeps wiregrating polarizer 81 is embedded into pin at pivot pin 93 and places on the second framework 83 with the state download in hole 821.At this moment, as shown in Figure 3, adjusting pin 91 is opposed states in limit (with being provided with the limit of pin with the opposite side in limit in hole 821) along the Width of the first framework 82 with bearing pin 92.In order to become such state, set adjusting pin 91, born pin 92, each rigging position of pivot pin 93.
Fig. 6 is the vertical view that schematically represents to utilize the adjustment of Fig. 3 and adjusting mechanism shown in Figure 4.In the present embodiment, adjusting pin 91 is precision screws, and bearing pin 92 is plungers.When adjusting pin 91 rotations were advanced, the front end of adjusting pin 91 was released the first framework 82 slightly.Thus, shown in the arrow A 1 of Fig. 6, the first framework 82 is deasil slightly rotation centered by pivot pin 93.When making it to retreat at reverse rotation adjusting pin 91, shown in the arrow A 2 of Fig. 6, by bearing the effect of the spring in the pin 92, the first framework 82 is slightly rotation widdershins.By the rotation of such minute angle, change the posture of the first framework 82, and the wire grid polarization element 81 that adjust to keep towards.Each adjusting mechanism is same structure, by each adjusting pin 91 is operated, adjust independently each wire grid polarization element 81 towards.
In addition, during above-mentioned adjustment, the upper surface butt of the lower surface of the first framework 82 and the second framework 83 changes posture Yi Bian the first framework 82 slides at the second framework 83 on one side.Under the state that the first framework 82 is floated from the second framework 83, adjust the position, thus the easy one side that becomes do not adjusted owing to there being friction to have, but when carrying out the light directional process, wish the first framework 82 butts the second framework 83.This be because, in the liquid crystal manufacturing processing of carrying out the light directional process etc., it is known having the such harmful material of silicone compounds in the toilet, when such material entered in the lampshade, the gonorrhoea etc. that produces catoptron was stained.In order to prevent entering of objectionable impurities, wish the first framework 82 butts the second framework 83.The first framework 82 is descended and the method for butt, but when when descending when departing from, do not had the meaning of adjustment.Therefore, wish the first framework 82 butts the second framework 83 is adjusted on one side, and directly former state after the maintenance adjustment towards.
As mentioned above, the adjustment of wire grid polarization element 81 is for the adjustment towards the direction of expectation of the direction that makes grid.At this moment, also considered while use the microscopic examination grid towards adjusting, but as TOHKEMY 2007-127567 communique is disclosed, to the polarization axle of the polarized light that transmits at wiregrating polarizer 81 towards observe and so that this direction be expectation towards mode adjustment be practical.Because the final purpose of adjusting be the polarization axle that makes the polarized light on the shadow surface expectation towards alignment.
Above-mentioned polarizer unit 80 is by pre-assembled and carry on polarized light illumination device.When assembling, carry out above-mentioned adjustment for each wire grid polarization element 81.In order to adjust, need to become the direction of a certain benchmark.For this, can select for example length direction of the side 831 of the second framework 83.Linearity is made side 831 well in advance, and carry out take the length direction of this side 831 as benchmark each wire grid polarization element 81 towards adjustment.That is, carry out each wire grid polarization element 81 towards adjustment so that the polarization axle of the polarized light of each point observation of shadow surface with respect to the length direction of side 831 for regulation towards.
Like this, by with respect to the polarizer unit 80 towards configuration finish the adjustment of each wire grid polarization element 81 after of workpiece W in regulation, the polarizing light irradiation of deviation that can be by there not being polarization axle carries out the high light directional process of inner evenness.For example, in the time will carrying out the light directional process at the Width of workpiece W, can as described above for the polarization axle that makes polarized light be the second framework 83 side 831 length direction and adjust in advance each wire grid polarization element 81 towards, and for the length direction of the side 831 that makes the second framework 83 is consistent with the Width of workpiece W precision is carried polarizer unit 80 at device well.
As mentioned above, it is carried by the below of lampshade 60 in order to make workpiece W, at this moment, for workpiece W irradiation polarized light, and implement the light directional process.According to circumstances, after sometimes arriving extension position in the way workpiece W having been carried out processing, change each polarizer 81 towards, and different towards carrying out the light directional process.At this moment, after device dismounting polarizer unit 80,, change towards and reset for each first framework, 82 each wire grid polarization element 81 of dismounting from the second framework 83.Self-evident, at this moment, carry out once more aforesaid adjustment.
Polarizer unit 80 by embodiment, since have by the posture that makes the first framework 82 that keeps wiregrating polarizer 81 change to adjust wire grid polarization element 81 towards adjusting mechanism, so the distortion that when adjusting, does not produce wire grid polarization element 81.Therefore, the polarization axle of the polarized light in the shadow surface does not produce deviation, can carry out the high light directional process of inner evenness.
In addition, owing between the side wall surface of the first framework 82 and wire grid polarization element 81, be provided with the bolster 811 that is consisted of by elastic body, so the position of wire grid polarization element 81 is stably kept.Therefore, can stably carry out the light directional process with having good uniformity.
In addition, with wire grid polarization element 81 similarly, the shape that the side wall surface of the first framework 82 becomes be square and the bight that becomes with respect to side wall surface, the bight of wire grid polarization element 81 and the structure of butt have with wire grid polarization element 81 towards the meaning that maintains stable state.Even as described above by adjusting mechanism adjust the first framework 82 towards, wiregrating polarizer 81 with respect to the first framework 82 towards when each constantly all changes, adjust and also become nonsensical.The structure that makes the bight of wire grid polarization element 81 be connected to the bight of the first framework 82 makes wire grid polarization element 81 constant with respect to the relative orientation of the first framework 82, can make thus indirectly higher towards the validity of adjusting by the first framework 82.In addition, because wire grid polarization element 81 is square, so side wall surface forms 90 degree, but when wire grid polarization element 81 are other shapes when for example being equilateral triangle, side wall surface becomes 60 to spend.
In addition, in the present embodiment because first framework 82 only keeps a wire grid polarization element 81, and can for each adjust independently towards, so can revise meticulously each wire grid polarization element 81 towards deviation.Therefore, can easily carry out the deviation polarizing light irradiation still less of polarization axle.
Can also adopt following structure: first framework 82 keeps two or more wire grid polarization element 81, and carries out posture changing for this first framework 82.At this moment, can for a plurality of wire grid polarization elements 81 carry out together towards adjustment, so have advantages of the time that can save adjustment.But, for these a plurality of wire grid polarization elements 81, need to pass through in advance the direction of some means alignment grid.When not lining up, owing to be directly connected to the deviation of the polarization axle in the shadow surface, so can not revise this deviation with above-mentioned adjusting mechanism.Under this meaning, first framework 82 only keep a wire grid polarization element 81 and can for each adjust independently towards the advantage of structure be significant.
In addition, to rotate this centered by vertical pivot pin 93 be preferred for the deviation that suppresses fully polarization axle to wire grid polarization element 81.The purpose of adjusting be the grid in the wire grid polarization element 81 length direction towards adjustment.Therefore, need to be formed with the face (below, grid face) of grid to be positioned at the state on the same face on one side, Yi Bian change wiregrating polarizer 81 towards.Therefore, wish to set with respect to the vertical turning axle of grid face and make wire grid polarization element 81 around this axle rotation.
As described in patent documentation 1, even make pin touching in three positions of end face and one of them position carried out the push-and-pull (prominent I draws I) of pin as fulcrum post in two residual positions, also can carry out towards adjustment.But, at this moment, when the touch position of three pins is not in the face parallel with the grid face, when adjusting, becoming the state that the wire grid polarization element is pushed, the grid face is than the inclination that becomes before adjusting.At this moment, because the grid face becomes state with respect to inclined light shaft, so for the adjustment difficult of the deviation that suppresses fully polarization axle.On the other hand, owing to winding the structure of adjusting with respect to 93 rotations of the vertical pivot pin of grid face because the grid face can not be pushed, thus for the adjustment of the deviation that suppresses fully polarization axle be easy.
In the above-described embodiment, adjusting pin 91 is precision screws and to bear pin 92 are plungers, but sometimes also adopts following structure: carry out rotation around pivot pin 93 with a pair of screw.At this moment, make a side screw rotation and make it to advance and make simultaneously the reverse rotation of the opposing party's screw and make it to retreat, the posture of the first framework 82 is changed.
In addition, also can be following structure: at the first framework 82 pivot pin 93 is set, and at the second framework 83 pin usefulness hole 821 is set.For example, the lower surface in the bight of the first framework 82 arranges pivot pin and makes it vertically outstanding downwards, and at the second framework 83 pin that embeds this pivot pin is set and uses the hole.
In addition, the configuration of each pin is not limited to above-mentioned position.Use Fig. 7 that other examples of the configuration of each pin are described.Fig. 7 be each pin of expression configuration other examples overlook skeleton diagram.As shown in Figure 7, can also be following structure: in the middle of each limit of the first framework 82, form pin with the hole and embed pivot pin 93 along the central authorities on a side's of the length direction of the second framework 83 limit, near and adjusting pin 91 and bear pin 92 and stabbing on the first framework 82 two ends on the opposing party's limit.
