DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a total reflection group, and more particularly to a total reflection group which can increase the contrast value. [Prior Art] In our world, both vision and sound are analogous forms, but when we use electronic signals to acquire, record, and transmit these analogies, the use of digital technology can bring many significant advantages; audio processing is An example 'When it changed from the analog technology of tape and vinyl records to digital music discs, the advantages of digital technology are also clearly presented in front of people, and digital projection and display technology can accept digital video. A series of digital light pulses are then generated; after the light pulses enter the eye, our eyes interpret it as a color analog image; the so-called Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), and the micro mirror array The Micro-mirror Array is a bistable spatial light modulator with multiple reflective optical switches for digital projection and display. Referring to FIG. 1, a total reflection group 12 suitable for the above-described bistable spatial light source modulation device 11 includes an entrance pupil 13 and an exit pupil 14 respectively of a triangular prism shape, and the incident pupil 13 includes An incident surface 131 for incident on a light beam 15, a total reflection surface 132 for total reflection of the light beam 15 incident on the incident surface 131, and a device surface 133 adjacent to the bistable spatial light source modulation device 11; The exiting prism 14 includes a connecting surface 141 parallel to and adjacent to the total reflecting surface 132, an exit surface 142 parallel to the device surface 133 and 5 200842402 for the light beam 15 to exit, and a connecting connection surface 141 and an exit. The third surface 143 of the surface 142; and a gap g between the connecting surface i4i and the total reflection surface 132 of substantially 3 to 1 〇//m. When the light beam enters the entrance surface 131 of the entrance pupil 13 and is totally reflected by the total reflection surface 132, the device surface 133 is emitted to the bistable spatial light source modulation device 11, and the bistable spatial light source is adjusted. Each reflective optical switch 111 in the variable device u can be switched between an open state (cm state) and an off state, so that the light beam 5 can be reflected to different directions; When the reflective optical switch 111 is in the open state, the reflected light beam 151 enters the device surface 133 vertically, and is connected to the exit pupil 132 through the incident pupil 13 as shown by the solid line in FIG. The surface ι41 is perpendicularly emitted from the exit surface 142, and is finally projected and displayed on a screen (not shown). In addition, if the reflective optical switch m is in the closed state, the reflected light beam 152 is as shown in FIG. The dotted line enters the device surface 133 obliquely, passes through the incident reflective prism 13 total reflection surface 132, the exit pupil 14 connection surface 141, and is obliquely emitted from the exit surface 142, by means of deflecting the light beam without Project and display on the screen. However, the obliquely emitted light beams of the reflective optical switches 111 in the closed state should ideally be deflected as shown above and cannot be projected and displayed on the screen, but because of the existing total reflection group 12 The angle between the obliquely outgoing beam 152 generated by the reflective optical switch 11 in the closed state and the vertical outgoing beam 151 generated in the open state cannot be increased, causing a portion of the beam to eventually Projected and displayed on the screen; and according to the screen contrast value is defined as: a brightness generated in the on state 6 200842402 divided by a brightness generated in the off state; thus, the above-mentioned existing total reflection group 12 A portion of the beam 152 that is obliquely ejected in the closed state will be projected and displayed on the screen to produce brightness, resulting in a decrease in the contrast value. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a total reflection group which can increase the contrast value. Therefore, the present invention can improve the total reflection 稜鏡 group of contrast values, and is suitable for a bistable spatial light source modulation device having a plurality of reflective optical switches, each of which can be in an open state and an off state. Inter-switching, the total reflection group includes an entrance pupil, a guide pupil, and an exit pupil; the incident pupil includes an incident surface for a beam incident, and a beam for incident from the incident surface a first total reflection surface for total reflection, and a device surface adjacent to the bistable spatial light source modulation device; the guide frame includes a guiding connection surface parallel to and adjacent to the first total reflection surface, And a second total reflection surface for total reflection of the reflected light beam when the anti-radial optical switch is in a closed state, the exit pupil comprising a first connection surface parallel to and adjacent to the first total reflection surface a second connecting surface parallel to and adjacent to the second total reflection surface, and an exit surface for the light beam to exit. The invention has the effect that the invention further comprises a guiding raft, and the second total reflecting surface of the guiding raft can totally reflect the reflected light beam when the reflective optical switch is in the closed state So that it will not be projected and displayed on a screen to produce brightness, so that the contrast value can be improved, and the object of the present invention can be achieved. The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. Referring to FIG. 2', the total reflection 稜鏡 group 2 of the present invention can improve the contrast value, and is suitable for the double-reflective optical switch 81 (represented in FIG. 2 only by the reflective optical switch located at the middle and the two 'ends). A Bistable Spatial Light Modulator, for example, a digital micro mirror element (Digital Micr〇mirr〇r Device, DMD for short), or a micro mirror array Element (Micr〇-mirr〇r Array); and each of the reflective optical switches 81 can be switched between an on state and an off state to make an incident beam 91 旎Reflected to different angles. The present invention can improve the total reflection of the contrast value. Group 2 comprises an entrance pupil 3, a guide pupil 4, and an exit pupil 5, respectively, of a triangular prism type.

The incident pupil 3 includes an incident surface 31 for the incident of the light beam 91, a first total reflection surface 32' for total reflection of the light beam 91 incident from the incident surface 31, and a parallel and adjacent to the bistable The device surface 33 of the spatial light source modulation device 8; in this embodiment, a critical angle X (Cdtical angle, as shown in FIG. 2) formed by the first total reflection surface 32 of the incident 稜鏡3 and the air The calculation is between about 38 and 45 degrees, that is, an angle formed by the light beam 91 incident on the incident surface M and the normal of the first total reflection surface 32 is only greater than the above-mentioned critical angle X, which is formed. Total reflection; thus, adjusting an angle a between the first total reflection surface 32 and the device surface 33 (as shown in FIG. 2), and an angle b between the incident surface 31 and the device surface 33 ( As shown in FIG. 2, the light beam 91 can be totally reflected on the first total reflection surface 32 via the incident surface 31. The angle between the first total reflection surface 32 and the device surface 33' is preferably between 25 and 50 degrees, and the angle between the incident surface 31 and the device surface 33 is higher. The preferred angle range is between 90 and 120 degrees. For example, in the embodiment, the angle A is 35 degrees, and the angle b is 95 degrees. Thus, the beam 9 is allowed to be in the first total reflection. Total reflection is performed on face 32. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the device surface 33 may also be adjacent to the bistable spatial light source modulation device 8 but not parallel, and the total reflection on the first total reflection surface 32 may still be achieved. The critical angle X, and the preferred angular range of the angle A and the angle B are designed according to the refractive index range of the incident pupil 3 in the case where the refractive index of the gap g2 is 1 · 〇. a preferred range of angles; when the refractive index range of the entrance pupil 3 or the refractive index of the gap G2 is different from the embodiment, the critical angle X of the present invention, and the range of the angle (A) of the angle A and the angle B will be All or part of the change will be unrestricted. The guiding raft 4 includes a guiding connection parallel to the first total reflection surface 3^ from the 41' and a total reflection of the light beam reflected by the reflective optical switch 81 in the closed state. The second total reflection surface 42 and the third surface 杓 of the second connection surface 42 and the second total reflection surface 42 are respectively connected. In this embodiment, the guiding connection surface 41 and the p total reflection surface W are adhesively bonded by a plurality of points, and the gap 9 200842402 G1 having a width of about 3 to 10 (10) m so as to be adjacent to the first The total reflection surface 32 forms the critical angle χ; in addition, the second total reflection surface 42 and the air are also formed by the guide 稜鏡4 to form a critical angle Y' which is calculated to be between 38 and 45 degrees; An angle C between the total reflection surface 42 and the guiding connection surface 41 (as shown in FIG. 2) is such that the light beam 92 reflected by the reflective optical switch 81 in the off state is at the second total reflection. Total reflection is performed on face 42. The angle between the second total reflection surface 42 and the guiding connection surface 41 is preferably between 6 〇 and 9 ,. For example, in the embodiment, the angle C is 70.

In addition, the remaining minority beam 92" is not totally reflected on the second total reflection surface 42: it is directly emitted from the third surface 43, but also has a path p projected from the axis and displayed on the screen. A considerable distance, so that the partial beam 92, still cannot be projected and displayed on the screen, synthesizing the above-mentioned two partial beams 92, 92 when the reflective optical switches 81 are in the closed state. , can not be projected and displayed on the screen. (10) It is worth - (four) is 'on the third side 43 can also cover the black material useful to absorb light, so that the two parts of the beam 92, 92, are Absorption, more sure that it will not be projected and displayed on the screen. In addition, in this case, the case towel exists between the person shooting 3 and the guiding edge 4 H human shooting 3 and the outgoing prism 5 And the gaps (1), 〇2, and 〇3 between the guiding prism 4 and the exit pupil 5 are generated by a multi-point adhesive bonding to produce a gap having a specific twist, that is, the ribs = There is a presence - a refractive index of 1 Μ air medium, in the preferred embodiment of the ', 4 with the 稜鏡 and empty Refractive index to achieve beam reflection or refraction 2 'but not limited to the invention. For example, it is well known in the art that the second to achieve a specific path of the beam (four), can also be used between the selected Filling the gaps (1), G2, and G3 with the dry glue of the refractive index. The definition of the screen contrast value is: when the reflective light switch 81 bit 12 200842402 is in the open state, a brightness is divided. The brightness generated when the reflective optical switches 81 are in the off state; therefore, if the brightness of the reflective optical switches 81 in the above two states is separately measured, it can be known. The total reflection iridium group 2 is incapable of being projected and displayed on the screen because the light beam 92 reflected by the reflective optical switch 81 in the closed state can be compared with the existing total reflection 稜鏡 group. It can be achieved that the effect of increasing the contrast value can be achieved. Referring to FIG. 5, it is worth mentioning that each reflective optical switch 81 can be switched between the open state and the closed state, and can be switched to a planar state (Flat). State) or a specific rotation angle, the plane state means that the rotation angle of the reflective optical switch 81 is the midpoint of the rotation angle of the open state and the rotation angle of the off state; although the denominator defined by the comparison value refers to the reflection The optical switch 81 is located at a brightness generated in the off state, but when the projection and display are actually operated, sometimes the reflective optical switch 81 of the bistable spatial light source modulation device 8 is located in the plane state. The total reflection iridium group 2 of the present invention can make the light beam 93 reflected by the reflective optical switch μ in the planar state as shown in FIG. 5, and is totally reflected by the second total reflection surface 42. The effect of projecting and displaying on the screen is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the scope of the patent application and the description of the invention according to the present invention.
