  • a light source is placed behind the display.
  • Fig. 1 shows a simple prior art approach in which a transmissive AMLCD 10 is provided with an light emitting diode (LED) backlight 20. Rays from the backlight 30 propagate through the AMLCD and are modulated to produce an image.
  • color is obtained by sequentially loading red, green, and blue subframes into the AMLCD, and by simultaneously sequentially illuminating red, green, and blue LEDs . Sequential illumination is accomplished by providing current sequentially through one of the desired LED leads 40.

  • Other elements such as diffusers or filters, may also be employed.
  • AMLCDs and illuminators of this type are available commercially from Kopin Corporation.
  • the viewing system for such displays may comprise simple optical magnifier optics, or a multi-stage optical system characterized by intermediate image planes between the stages.
  • Prior art miniature reflective AMLCDs use an illuminating system that is based on a beam splitter cube 70 adjacent to the display 60.
  • the beam splitter may comprise a polarization splitting coating 71 which serves to linearly polarize the illuminating light, and which also acts as the analyzer for the LCD.
  • the polarizing beam splitter may alternatively be formed from polymer films.
  • optical elements 50 may be used to collimate, diffuse or filter the illumination.
  • Fig. 3 shows a more complex prior art reflective
  • AMLCD system that includes a compact, simple magnifier added to the illuminator system for viewing a magnified image of the display 60
  • U.S. Patent 5,596,451 U.S. Patent 5,596,451
  • a compact system is formed by using a single beam splitter 71 for illuminating and viewing the image from the AMLCD 60.
  • the beam splitter 71 is used for illumination and for viewing, mirror 42, which provides the magnification, is not employed in the illumination system optical path.
  • a lens or mirror to affect vergence of the illumination light is not needed because the light source 34 in this design is a broad area emitter.
  • Collimating illumination optics are generally used in projection systems that employ high intensity lamps and projection lens systems, such as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,949,503.
  • a portion of the projection optics may be used for illumination.
  • this approach leads to improved illumination uniformity and improved contrast in the projected image.
  • This invention relates to the attainment of an improved illuminating system for reflective liquid crystal displays.
  • the improvement is based on integrating the illumination system with the magnifying system and thus using a single set of optical elements for the two purposes of magnifying the image and illuminating the display.
  • the invention also relates to a system for obtaining high brightness monochrome images which may be applied to reflective or transmissive liquid crystal displays.
  • the invention provides a display illumination and viewing system comprising an illumination optical path and a viewing optical path. At least a portion of the illumination optical path coincides with at least a portion of the viewing optical path to form a coinciding path portion.
  • a display comprising an active matrix liquid crystal display is located at one end of the coinciding path portion.
  • a first lens system is located on the coinciding path portion and provides an image plane on the viewing optical path.
  • a second lens system is located on the viewing optical path.
  • An illumination assembly such as red, green, and blue LEDs, is located on the illumination optical path and off the coinciding path portion.
  • the illumination assembly is spaced from the first lens system by a distance corresponding to the focal length of the first lens system.
  • a reflective and transmissive element such as a beam splitter, is located at an opposite end of the coinciding path portion to reflect light from the illumination assembly onto the coinciding path portion toward the display and to transmit light from the display along the viewing optical path.
  • the present invention provides a collimating illumination system for a head-mounted reflective AMLCD, offering uniform and efficient illumination, with less weight and volume than prior art systems.
  • the image display system is operable in a color mode and a monochrome mode.
  • the display system comprises an active matrix liquid crystal display operable at a determined frame rate comprising sequential loading of red, green, and blue subframes .
  • An illumination source comprising red, green, and blue light sources, such as LEDs, is disposed to illuminate the active matrix liquid crystal display.
  • Illumination circuitry is provided in communication with the illumination source and includes a switch operative to switch the illumination source between the color mode to provide a color display and the monochrome mode to provide a monochrome display. In this manner, the present invention obtains increased brightness by providing the ability to switch the illuminator to a monochrome mode.
  • the invention also provides for adjusting illuminator brightness .

  • Fig. 4 illustrates a display system based on using the prior art collimation system shown in Fig. 2.
  • An illumination system 22 is coupled with a viewing system 23 to provide an image to a viewer.
  • the illumination system comprises red 53, green 54, and blue 55 LEDs, an optional diffuser 49, a Fresnel lens 50, and a polarization beam splitter 71. Illumination from the LEDs passes through the diffuser if employed, and is collimated by the Fresnel lens 50 to uniformly illuminate the AMLCD 60. Light of the reflected polarization is directed to the AMLCD by the beam splitter 71.
  • the AMLCD rotates the polarization of the light at each of its pixels to an angle in accordance with electrical signals representing the image. Rays pass from the illumination stage 22 to the magnification stage 23, and are then viewed through the lenses 150 and 160. Any number of optical surfaces may be used to magnify the image and to correct aberrations; for simplicity we have represented the lens surfaces by the singlet lenses 150 and 160. In practice, these lenses 150, 160 may each be achromatic doublet or triplet lenses, aspheres, or more complex combinations of surfaces .
  • FIGs. 5a and 5b illustrate the optical principal of this invention.

  • lens system 150 forms an intermediate image plane as shown between 150 and 160; the position of this plane is given by Newton's lens equation or its equivalents, which are well known in the art.
  • lens system 160 If lens system 160 is placed at a distance from the image plane equal to its focal length, the user perceives an image at infinity.
  • the position of lens 160 may be varied to change the distance of the virtual image.
  • the magnification of the system is given by the product of the magnification of the two stages, as is well known in the art.
  • Figs. 5a and 5b also show the insertion of a reflective and transmissive element, for example, a beam splitter 200 in between lens systems 150 and 160.
  • the beam splitter may be a polarization beam splitter made by vacuum deposition of thin film multilayers as is known in the art, or made by polymer techniques (such products are offered by 3M for example) , or it may be a vacuum-deposited thin metal film with approximately 50% transmission (a half silvered mirror) .
  • a polarization beam splitting cube may be used. Referring to Fig. 5b, it can be seen that the purpose of the beam splitter 200 is to reflect light from an illumination source, such as LED lamp 100, which may be a multi-color lamp comprising red, green and blue LEDs used in field sequential color illuminators, into the optical path.
  • the path between the LED lamp 100 and the AMLCD 60 defines an illumination path. It can be seen that the illumination path coincides with a portion of the viewing path. If the LED is placed at a distance from lens system 150 equal to the focal length f 2 of lens system 150 (shown as the distance a+b in Fig. 5b), then
  • Diffusers and other optical elements may be used between the LED and the beam splitter to homogenize the light incident on the AMLCD or to develop an extended light source in accordance with the viewing requirements of the complete system.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates an example of an optical design based on this principal.

  • Lens system 150 projects an image plane at the entrance pupil of the optical system in lens 210.
  • Lens 210 with a magnifying internal optical relay formed by lens 220, polarization beam splitter 240, quarter wave plate 260, and concave mirror 250 provide an image to the eye of the user which is perceived as originating in front of the lens 210 at a comfortable distance.
  • the image source we have referred to the image source as an LED or array of LEDs, since LEDs are a common light source in these displays.
  • illumination sources including lasers, an optical fiber delivering light from a remote source, or other lamps.

  • the LEDs 301, 302, 303 are turned on continuously without any change to the frame rate of the AMLCD using switch 300. Continuous and simultaneous illumination of all three LEDs results in the portrayal of the image as black and white, and with the white being much brighter than any color that would be developed from sequential LED flashes of red, green, and blue.
  • Simultaneous illumination can be attained by employing a switch 300, as shown in Fig. 8 applied to the illuminator power circuit.
