Described the first polarization converter device 161 and the second polarization converter device 162 can be twisted nematic liquid crystals box or other deflection switching devices, and liquid crystal cell is known by those skilled in that art for adjusting the polarization direction of polarized light, at this, does not repeat.
Below introduce in detail the principle of work of 3D optical projection system 100:
As shown in Figure 1, in the T1 time, described display screen 11 shows left-eye image L, left-eye image L light is through described polarised light splitter part 12(PBS plate) after, be divided into the orthogonal P light in polarization direction and S light, P light is propagated along original optical path, and S light is propagated along the direction of perpendicular distal light path, after the reflection of described catoptron 15, the direction of propagation is consistent with P optical propagation direction.P light is adjusted device 16 through described light path and is adjusted after light path, P light and S light have identical light path and phase place, propagate into respectively described the first polarization converter device 161 and the second polarization converter device 162 simultaneously, by controlling described the first polarization converter device 161 and the second polarization converter device 162, make to remain unchanged by the P polarisation of light direction of described the first polarization converter device 161, by S polarisation of light direction rotation 90 degree of the second polarization converter device 162, thus consistent with P polarisation of light direction.Then consistent P light and the S light (being left-eye image L light) in polarization direction propagates on screen 18 simultaneously.

Below introduce in detail the principle of work of 3D optical projection system 200:
As shown in Figure 3, in the T1 time, described display screen 21 shows left-eye image L, left-eye image L light is through described polarised light splitter part 22(PBS plate) after, being divided into the orthogonal P light in polarization direction and S light, P light is propagated along original optical path, S light is propagated along the direction of perpendicular distal light path, through the reflection of described catoptron 25, the direction of propagation is consistent with P optical propagation direction, then through described the 3rd polarization converter device 263, adjusts polarization direction consistent with P light polarization direction.P light is adjusted device 26 through described light path and is adjusted after light path, P light and S light have identical light path polarization direction, propagate into respectively described the first polarization converter device 261 and the second polarization converter device 262 simultaneously, control described the first polarization converter device 261 and the second polarization converter device 262 the P light that passes through and the polarization direction of S light (being left-eye image L light) are remained unchanged, and propagate on screen 28.
As shown in Figure 4, the T2 time, described display screen 21 shows eye image R, the light path of the light path of described eye image R and control and left-eye image L and control similar, difference is, when representing that the P light of eye image R and S light propagate into respectively described the first polarization converter device 261 and the second polarization converter device 262, by controlling, make P polarisation of light direction rotation ± 90 degree by the first polarization converter device 261, make S polarisation of light direction rotation ± 90 degree by described the second polarization converter device 262 simultaneously, then consistent P light and the S light (being eye image R light) in polarization direction propagates on screen 28 simultaneously.That is, the polarization direction of T1 left-eye image L light is constantly mutually vertical with the polarization direction of eye image R light.
T1+T2 is a complete 3D rendering frame, by light-dividing devices such as 3D glasses, T1 left-eye image L constantly only can be propagated in user's left eye, and T2 eye image R constantly only can propagate in user's right eye, and user can form the 3D picture of this two field picture in brain.Above-mentioned loop cycle is reciprocal, and user can watch dynamic 3D picture.
Be understandable that, in other variant embodiment, described the 3rd polarization converter device 263 can also be arranged on described light path and adjust between device 20 and described the first polarization converter device 261, it does in similarly with control method to the 3D optical projection system 200 of the second embodiment shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4, does not repeat them here.
