Referring to fig. 6 and 8, the mirror 137 in the first optical processing module 13 is also disposed in a deflected manner. The mirror 137 is approximately rectangular (in order to reduce the height of the projector engine 10 in the Z axis, a corner of the rectangular mirror close to the horizontal plane is cut off to form a rectangle-like shape, the rectangle-like shape refers to a shape with an outer contour being rectangular or approximately rectangular), and specifically includes a first long side c1 and a second long side c2 which are oppositely disposed and parallel to each other, wherein the first long side c1 is farther from the lens 17 than the second long side c2, the mirror 137 further includes a first short side c3 and a second short side c4 which are oppositely disposed and parallel to each other, wherein the first short side c3 is closer to the horizontal plane and the non-rotationally symmetric lens 135 than the second short side c4, it can be understood that the mirror 137 is disposed by being deflected, that the projections of the first long side c1 and the second long side c2 in the YZ plane are parallel to each other but do not coincide, and the projection of the first long side c1 is above the projection of the second long side c2 (i.e. the first long side c3 is closer to the DMD group 155 described later), one end of the first short side c3 connected to the first long side c1 is closer to the DMD group 155 than the other end thereof opposite to the one end, and an angle c is formed between a normal line of a reflection surface (a surface facing the second optical processing unit 15) of the mirror 137 and a YZ plane. The reflecting surfaces are at non-zero angles to the XYZ axes. The emitting direction of the light reflected by the reflecting mirror 137 is not perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

In this embodiment, in order to optimize the light efficiency, the second optical processing assembly 15 includes a second lens 151, the second lens 151, a prism group 153 and a DMD group 155 are sequentially arranged along the second direction, since the light emitting unit 111, the fly-eye lens 131, the non-rotationally symmetric lens 135 and the reflective mirror 137 in the LED light source module 11 are all disposed in a deflection manner, in order to make the light entering the DMD group 155 be symmetric light, the second lens 151 is disposed to perform symmetric processing on the light.

Prism assembly 153 includes a first prism 1531 and a second prism 1533, second prism 1533 is smaller than first prism 1531, first prism 1531 is located between second prism 1533 and DMD assembly 155, and second prism 1533 is fixed on one surface of first prism 1531.

Referring to fig. 9, the DMD set 155 is disposed parallel to the horizontal plane, and as an embodiment, the surfaces of the DMD set 155 and the prism set 153 opposite to each other are rectangular parallel to the horizontal plane, and the long sides thereof are parallel to each other and the short sides thereof are also parallel to each other. The DMD set 155 and the prism set 153 are disposed in an offset manner, specifically, in the X direction, a central vertical plane a of the DMD set 155 and a central vertical plane B of the prism set 153 close to the surface of the DMD set 155 are both perpendicular to the X direction (i.e. the optical axis direction of the projector engine 10), and the central vertical plane a is farther away from the lens 17 than the central vertical plane B. In the direction of the optic axis, the vertical center plane of the DMD set 155 is the plane passing through the midpoints of the four edges of the DMD set parallel to the optic axis. The surface of the prism group 153 close to the plane of the DMD group 155 is an M-plane, and in the optical axis direction, the vertical plane of the center of the prism group 153 is a plane perpendicular to the M-plane and passing through the middle point of two edges of the plane parallel to the optical axis. Central vertical planes A, B are all perpendicular to the optical axis.

The center of the DMD group 155 moves to the left, which can increase the installation space of the right-side components, and is beneficial to the installation of the galvanometer component in the lens 17. After the DMD set 155 is disposed in a deviated manner, the dimension of the prism set 153 on the vertical plane a of the center is smaller than the dimension of the prism set 153 on the vertical plane B of the center in the Z-axis direction, and the optical device on the upstream side of the prism set 153 in the optical path can be disposed closer to the DMD set 155 by the deviation, so that the height of the whole projection light engine 10 in the Z-axis direction can be reduced, which is favorable for the miniaturization development of the whole projection light engine 10. On the other hand, the offset arrangement of the DMD set 155 shortens the path of the light beam entering the DMD set 155 through the prism set 153, which can also reduce the design difficulty of the whole optical system and reduce the cost; the offset arrangement of the DMD set 155, which is coincident with the center vertical plane A, B, facilitates the installation of the lens 17.

The distance d between the central vertical plane A and the central vertical plane B is larger than 0 and smaller than 2mm, such as 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm and the like, and the distance between the central vertical plane A and the central vertical plane B is more preferably 1 mm. With this arrangement, the gap between the prism group 153 and the lens 17 is appropriate, and the lens 17 can be easily mounted.

Referring to fig. 10 to 12, the second lens 151 is a spherical lens fixed in the inner space of the upper housing 14 by a black mounting member 1510. An included angle exists between the central axis R and the Z axis of the second lens 151, and one end of the second lens 151 far away from the lens 17 is closer to the DMD set 155 than one end close to the lens 17, that is, the second lens 151 is obliquely installed in the upper housing 14. As shown in fig. 11, since the DMD set 155 and the prism set 153 are disposed in a deviated manner, light irradiated to the S region cannot enter the DMD set 155, in order to make the light emitted from the second lens 151 effectively enter the DMD set 155, the outline of the black mounting member 1510 matches the shape of the inner space of the upper housing 14 to facilitate fixing in the inner space of the upper housing 14, the black mounting member 1510 is provided with a receiving position 1511, the outline of the receiving position 1511 is circular and matches the outline of the second lens 151, and the second lens 151 is mounted in the receiving position 1511 and fixed by adhesive. A through hole 1513 is formed in the position corresponding to the accommodating position 1511, the shape and the size of the through hole 1513 are matched with the prism group 153 and the DMD group 155, the through hole 1513 is rectangular, light entering the second lens 151 can only be emitted to the prism group 153 from the through hole 1513, and light at the position of the non-through hole 1513 is shielded by the black mounting part 1510, so that stray light and the like are prevented from entering the prism group 153 and affecting the lighting effect.

Referring to fig. 8, the lens 17 and the second optical processing element 15 are located at the same height, and the inside of the lens 17 includes, but is not limited to, optical elements such as a galvanometer in a third direction (i.e., X direction/optical axis direction), a third lens, and a fourth lens.

It is understood that the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the third direction, and the second direction is not perpendicular to the third direction. Light emitted by the LED light source module 11 is optically processed by the first optical processing assembly 13, reflected by the reflective mirror 137, enters the second lens 151 after changing the light propagation direction, enters the prism group 153, and then irradiates the DMD group 155, and light reflected by the DMD group 155 enters the lens 17 after changing the light propagation direction by the prism group 153.

The third mounting opening 123 is provided corresponding to the position of the mirror 137 in the first optical processing assembly 13, that is, the mirror 137 is mounted in the lower case 12 through the third mounting opening 123.
