Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of light source module, particularly relates to the light source module of a kind of use in projector.
Background technology
Projector mainly realizes that by two kinds of display techniques a kind of is liquid crystal display (LCD) shadow casting technique at present, and another kind then is that digital light is handled (DLP) shadow casting technique.
With reference to Fig. 1, the in-built synoptic diagram of LCD projector that its expression is traditional.LCD projector 100 mainly includes fluorescent tube 105, snoot 110, Polarizer 115, liquid crystal panel 120,125,130, spectroscope 140,145,150, closes light microscopic 160,165,170 and optical frames group 180.
For example the fluorescent tube 105 of metal halid lamp or cold light source is that 110 of snoots and fluorescent tube 105 couple, and make light become incident beam 107 in order to converge light in order to emission light.Polarizer 115 usefulness are carried out beam split through spectroscope 140,145 and 150 by the incident beam behind the Polarizer 115 again so that have the incident beam 107 of certain particular phases and pass through, and make incident beam become three kinds of primary colour beams of red, green, blue.
LCD projector 100 is used three liquid crystal panels 120,125 and 130, respectively as the image-forming block of Red Green Blue.And all have on each sheet liquid crystal panel and screen 190 image slices vegetarian refreshments image-generating unit one to one, when the incident beam of the light-emitting component that comes free fluorescent tube 105 and snoot 110 to form through spectroscope 140,145 and 150 form homogeneous beam arrives each self-corresponding liquid crystal panel 120, after 125 and 130, three incident beams that liquid crystal panel passes through according to the color control of pixel, at last through closing light microscopic 160,165,170 close light and through optical frames group 180, image is shown enlarged on the screen 190, from three liquid crystal panels 120, light beam on 125 and 130 will become a pixel by consor on screen 190.
Different with above-mentioned LCD projector 100 with three liquid crystal panels, the another kind of normal LCD projector of using then is the LCD projector that only has the single chip liquid crystal panel.Though do not have the spectroscope in order to beam split in this projector, explicit principle is similar to the LCD projector of three-chip type.For example, one chip is identical with the LCD projector of three-chip type, and all the light-emitting component of being made up of fluorescent tube and optically focused list provides an incident beam that exposes to Polarizer.Polarizer is selected an incident beam with particular phases in the incident beam thus, and the incident beam with particular phases can be exported by Polarizer and by Polarizer.Then, by the incident beam with particular phases of Polarizer output just transmission after the optical frames group is amplified image, be presented on the screen more at last after the one chip liquid crystal panel that has the red, green, blue three-colour filter simultaneously.
With reference to Fig. 2 A, the in-built synoptic diagram of digital light processing projector that its expression is traditional.Digital light processing projector 200 mainly includes fluorescent tube 205, snoot 210, colored filter rotating disk 215, digital micromirror elements (DMD) 220.
Fluorescent tube 205 couples with snoot 210, and fluorescent tube 205 is in order to emission light, and 210 of snoots make light become incident beam 207 in order to converge the light that fluorescent tube 205 is launched.Colored filter rotating disk 215 is in order to be divided into the Red Green Blue light beam with incident beam 207.Simultaneously with reference to Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, the front view of colored filter rotating disk among Fig. 2 B presentation graphs 2A.Colored filter rotating disk 215 is to carry out beam split in the mode of rotating.For example, when incident beam 207 exposed to red block 2151 on the colored filter rotating disk 215, the ruddiness in the incident beam 207 can pass through colored filter rotating disk 215, and can export digital micromirror elements 220 to by colored filter rotating disk 215.Green glow in the incident beam 207 and blue light are then because of being reflected by colored filter rotating disk 215.In like manner, when colored filter rotating disk 215 turns to incident beam 207 can shine green block 2152 or blue block 2153 time, green glow in the incident beam 207 or blue light can pass through colored filter rotating disk 215, and can't be by the ruddiness and the blue light of green block 2152, maybe can't therefore will be reflected by the green glow and the ruddiness of blue block 2153 by colored filter rotating disk 215.
The image-forming block of digital light processing projector 200 is a digital micromirror elements 220, reflects the micro mirror (not shown) one to one and have on the digital micromirror elements 220 with screen 290 image slices vegetarian refreshments.When the incident beam 207 that the light-emitting component that comes free fluorescent tube 205 and snoot 210 to form is launched, after 215 beam split of colored filter rotating disk, trichromatic light beam such as red, green, blue can be projected to digital micromirror elements 220.At last, according to the color control of pixel, and the rotation of the reflection micro mirror on the digital micromirror elements 220, make light beam be projected to screen 290 and the generation image.
In above-mentioned traditional LCD projector 100, because of Polarizer 115 can only make incident beam with certain particular phases by and by Polarizer 115 outputs, therefore other incident beams of about 1/2nd then become folded light beam 109 because of reflecting by Polarizer 115, cause the loss of about 1/2nd light beam.In traditional digital light processing projector 200, the light beam of a certain color in the light beam of three kinds of colors is passed through, the light beam of other two kinds of colors becomes folded light beam 209 because of reflecting by colored filter rotating disk 215, so 2/3rds the light beam loss of will having an appointment.
In sum, traditional LCD projector 100 with the common drawback that digital light processing projector 200 has is: quite a high proportion of light beam loss is arranged.For example, LCD projector 100 has 1/2nd light beam loss approximately, and digital light processing projector 200 is then approximately up to the light beam loss that has 2/3rds.The light beam loss of so suitable high level will make that the optical efficiency of projector is not good.
