DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS

The following is the further description of the invention by combining the drawing and the embodiments, and it can not be the limitation for the invention.

As shown in Figure 2-4, a display device, applied to the rear projection system, comprising: a screen 1, a cover 2 and a projecting unit 3, wherein the screen I is curved, configured to make incident rays penetrate into the concave side of the screen 1 then transmit from the convex side of the screen 1, projecting out in the form of parallel rays 4; the projecting unit 3 is configured to project rays of an image to the screen 1, and the image includes a valid area A and an invalîd area B; the cover 2 is located between the screen 1 and the projecting unit 3, configured to cover the invalîd area B of the image for getting the light of the valid area A of the image emitted by the projecting unît 3 to project to the screen 1.

In this embodiment, the display device is applied to the rear projection system, which éliminâtes the fuzzy borders of projected images with the use of the cover 2, this not only improves the contrast of projected images, but also éliminâtes the light spot ghost shadow 6 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3), with the use of the screen 1, which is able to let incident rays penetrate through itself and form parallel rays 4, increasing the utilization rate of light source. Moreover, the use of the curved screen 1 highlîghts the layering of images, thus promoting sensual expérience of viewers.

In a préférable embodiment, the screen 1 is made from tran slucent resin. Furthermore, the screen 1 can use curved Fresne! lens whose surface is covered by a semi-transparent layer. Fresnel lens is a sheet lens which is made from polyolefin resin using injection mol ding, one side of its lens surface is a mirror side, the other side of that is engraved with concentric circles placed in sequence from s mall to large, which is able to let incident rays penetrate through t he lens and émit out parallel rays» thus improving the contrast of i mages, more uniformly, and eliminatîng the light spot ghost shadow of projected images.

In a préférable embodiment, the projecting unit 3 is a silicon based liquid crystal projecting unit or a digital light procession projecting unit..

Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) uses a reflex process to form images, with 40% of utilization efficiency. Compared with other projection technology, a remarkable advantage of LCOS technology is high resolution, and projecting units with LCOS technology hâve further advantages such as high efficiency of the light utilization, small size, high aperture ratio and so on.

Digital Light Procession (DLP) has a technology core based on a digital microscope system consisting of tens of thousands of lenses, with a distance of less than 1 pm between each lens, thereby achieving extremely high-duty factor. Reducing the distance among pixels of the projected images to the limit could generate seamless digital pictures, which can keep good image sharpness at any size, without any pixel scar or sieve pore caused by other technologies, thus achieving the level of high-definition LCD in displayed images. DLP projecting technology can promote black layer and shadow effect. When a movie is played, DLP movie theatre technology can display 350 trillîon colors, which are more than 8 times over the movie.

In a préférable embodiment, there are more than one of the covers 2, a number of the covers are arranged between the projecting unit 3 and the screen 1 in parallel and in sequence, with an orientation along a direction of emitting light of the image emitted by the projecting unit 3, for covering the invalid area B of the projected image.

As shown in Figures 3-4, in a préférable embodiment, center areas of the covers 2 are hollow areas, and the plurality of covers with increasing size of hollow areas in sequence, positioned between the projecting unit 3 and the screen 1 equidistantly for eliminating the invalid area B (fuzzy borders) of the projected image, thus displaying the valid area A, which is elliptical, rectangular, polygonal (see Figure 4a-4c) or in other shapes.

In a préférable embodiment, the projecting unit 3 comprises: a receiver module and a projector module, wherein the receiver module is configured to receive projected images; wherein the projector module, connected to the receiver module, is configured to project lîghts of the projected images to the screen 1.

When it ïs used, a video interface could be set in the projecting unit 3, such as HDMI, MIPI or RGB interface, and the projecting unit 3 is connected with an external control chip through the video interface. When the video interface of the projecting unit 3 hâve been connected with that of the control chip, the projecting unit 3 can receive video signais transmitted by the control chip, and with the use of the cover 2, the projecting unit 3 can project the valid area A of the received image to the curved screen 1 made from resin material, finally displaying the valid area A of the image on the curved screen lofa robot.

The above description is referred only to the preferred embodiments of the invention, and it does not limit the implement method and the protecting scope of the invention. It is obvious for the skilled in the art that the changing and variation made by the spécification and drawings of the invention should fall into the scope of the invention.
