Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a projection optical system, and more particularly to a stereoscopic projection optical system having a stereoscopic projection display function. [Prior Art] In recent years, image projectors, especially digital projectors, have become popular as tools for displaying a variety of messages to viewers. Typically, these projectors are used to project a computer generated image onto a screen. For the viewer, the image projected by the image projector usually looks like a flat two-dimensional image, and no image depth of field information can be displayed except the image itself. This display can be used to display a variety of messages. However, in some cases, the viewer desires to have a projector that can display the depth of field or structural features of the image to a greater extent than the two-dimensional display. One way to make an image of a two-dimensional display give an image depth of field is to display the image stereoscopically. Stereoscopic images, often referred to as "three-dimensional" or "3D" images, have a depth dimension to the viewer. These images include separate, superimposed left and right eye images that are set to mimic the tiny differences in the surface of a three-dimensional object caused by the spacing of the human eye when viewed from the left and right eyes of the person. image. The images of the left and right eyes are such that the left eye image is not visible to the right eye of the viewer, and the right eye image is not visible to the left eye. This type of display is generally by means of an optical filter worn by the viewer. The method of displaying a stereoscopic image is generally to project a left eye image and a right eye image using two separate image projection systems. While this system is successfully used to form stereoscopic images, the cost and weight of the system is much higher than that of a single 7 200918946 projector. Moreover, the two projectors require optical alignment to be relatively difficult and time consuming. Also, due to the weight and volume of the two systems, it is particularly difficult to move such a system between two locations, as well as the problem of potential image alignment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a single stereoscopic projection optical system capable of projecting a stereoscopic image. A stereoscopic projection optical system comprising: sequentially arranged along an optical path: a polarization converter for converting incident light into a single emitted light of a polarization state; and a time division for receiving the outgoing light of the polarization converter a wheel comprising a reflection region for reflecting the outgoing light of the polarization converter, and a transmission region for transmitting the light emitted from the polarization converter, wherein the emitted light of the polarization converter is illuminated by the time division wheel a region of the reflective region and the transmissive region; a polarization conversion element disposed on the optical path of the outgoing light of one of the reflective and transmissive regions of the time-sharing wheel; an imaging engine disposed on the time-sharing wheel and the polarization conversion The outgoing light path of the component is used to load an image message for the incident light of the imaging engine and to emit the emitted light loaded with the image information. Compared with the prior art, the stereoscopic projection optical system can use the rotation of the time-sharing wheel to alternately input light of different polarization states for the digital micro-mirror elements, so that the left and right eyes of the viewer alternately obtain images of different polarization states. When the frequency of the input signal is fast enough, the viewer's left and right eyes respectively wear two polarizing plates whose detection directions are perpendicular to each other, and the stereoscopic image 200918946 image information can be observed.

The integrator 113 is used to uniformly and effectively use the light emitted by the light source 11. The polarization converter (p_s C〇nverter) 12 has a structure in which a broadband antireflection film and a dielectric antireflection film are plated on a flat glass by vacuum evaporation to form a reflective film pattern of an ultrafine metal grating. When the ultrafine metal effect is that the port 2 is smaller than two-half of the wavelength of the light, the polarized light component perpendicular to the direction of the light grating can be unimpeded due to the electromagnetic wave of the light. The last 2 polarized light components parallel to the grating direction are reflected back to the film, and the other side of the fish metal film grating substrate is uniformly permeable to the other surface - the phase wave plate coated with the antireflection film The polarized light 'and thus the polarization converting flip-flop 12 can be ==;?
