Description of the invention ⑴ [Scope of application of the invention] The present invention provides an optical engine, which is used in a reflective liquid crystal projection display. A light source is provided by an illumination system, and the image is projected by a projection lens through the optical engine. The image is displayed on the screen. [Background of the Invention] Since the world's first liquid crystal projection display (Liquid Crystal Projection Display) was successfully mass-produced in 1989, it has successfully solved many problems in engineering technology, such as the use of optical lens array integrators or glass cylinders. An integrator (Optical Lens Array Integrator or Glass Rod Integrator) is used to solve the problems of uneven brightness of the lighting source and the loss of efficiency of Form Transformation between the lighting source being axisymmetric and the lighting object being rectangular; using polarization conversion technology (Polarization Conversion Technique) to solve the problem of light efficiency loss and overheating of polarizers caused by polarized light absorption; as for the resolution problem, high temperature poly-crystalline liquid crystal display (High Temperature Poly-TFT LCD) is used to achieve high Density (1 · 3Π, 1024x768), high resolution (VGA, SVGA, XGA), and high image quality objectives (Contrast Ratio > 200: 1). To this day, the LCD projection display has been able to achieve a light efficiency of 010 m / W (luminous flux wheel out / application of light source wattage), which is already in almost all displays (such as CRT, PDP, LED, FEL, etc.) The most efficient. At the present stage, the technology of liquid crystal projection displays is moving towards higher brightness (> 12 00 AN SI lumens), higher resolution (> 1 2 0 0 x 1 0 2 4), and lighter and smaller directions. .
548473 五、發明說明(2) 傳統的液晶投影顯示系統有單片式與三片式兩種,所 用的液晶板皆為穿透式,但在解析度越來越高的情形下, f用同樣尺寸大小的液晶板,必須由穿透式改為反射式以 增加液晶板之開口率(Aperture Ratio )。此乃是因為反 射式的液晶板面製作是將其薄膜電晶體(TFT )覆蓋在反 射金屬層之下,因反射金屬層本身即可遮光,不需要另製 作遮光的黑矩陣(Black Matrix )來防止TFT因照光而漏 電’故其每一晝素可通光的面積比穿透式的大,因此反射 式液晶板擁有更佳的開口率。 一然而開口率雖然增加,但反射式液晶光學投影顯示器 的光學系統卻較穿透式系統來的複雜許多。其中最大的不 同’反射式液晶光學投影系統中的液晶板面需要使用到偏 極化分光稜鏡 10 (Polarizati〇I1 Beain Splitter,PBS) 來分離入射光與出射光,即入射光通過偏極化分光稜鏡1 〇 之鍍膜面101後,照明在液晶板20 (LCD )上的光是某一偏 f方向,例如是p偏極化光,該p偏極化光經過液晶板2 〇調 交並反射出去後,其偏極方向會改變成S偏極化光B 2,然 後再被偏極化分光稜鏡1 〇反射而投影到螢幕(圖中未示) 上。至於未經液晶板2 〇調變的晝素反射光則保留原來的極 化方向’即P偏極化光B 1,其會穿透偏極化分光稜鏡丨〇而 回到光源處(如「第1圖」所示,S偏極化以小點表示,p 偏極4匕以前頭表示)。 在反射式的液晶顯示系統中,為了避免色彩失真,偏 極化分光稜鏡需要在整個可見光區域(4〇〇nm〜了〇〇ηιη)皆548473 V. Description of the invention (2) There are two types of traditional liquid crystal projection display systems: single-chip type and three-chip type. The liquid crystal panels used are all transmissive, but in the case of higher and higher resolution, f uses the same The size of the liquid crystal panel must be changed from transmissive to reflective to increase the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal panel. This is because the reflective liquid crystal panel is manufactured by covering its thin-film transistor (TFT) under the reflective metal layer, because the reflective metal layer itself can block light, and it is not necessary to make a light-shielding black matrix (Black Matrix). It prevents the TFT from leaking electricity due to light. Therefore, the area through which light can pass through each day is larger than that of the transmissive type, so the reflective liquid crystal panel has a better aperture ratio. However, although the aperture ratio is increased, the optical system of the reflective liquid crystal optical projection display is more complicated than the transmissive system. The biggest difference is the LCD panel surface in the reflective liquid crystal optical projection system, which requires polarization polarization beam splitter 10 (Polarizati〇I1 Beain Splitter, PBS) to separate the incident light and the outgoing light, that is, the incident light passes through the polarization After splitting the coated surface 101 of 稜鏡, the light illuminating the liquid crystal panel 20 (LCD) is a certain f-direction, for example, p-polarized light, and the p-polarized light passes through the liquid crystal panel 20 and is intermodulated. After being reflected, the polarized direction of the polarized light will be changed to S polarized light B 2, and then reflected by the polarized beam splitter 稜鏡 10 and projected onto the screen (not shown). As for the daylight reflected light that has not been modulated by the liquid crystal panel 20, the original polarization direction is retained, that is, the P polarized light B1, which will penetrate the polarized light splitting and return to the light source (such as " As shown in Figure 1 ", the S polarization is represented by a small dot, and the p polarization is represented by the front head). In a reflective liquid crystal display system, in order to avoid color distortion, the polarization beam splitter needs to be in the entire visible light region (400nm ~ 〇〇ηιη).

Description of the invention (3) Polarization (Ext incti Generally speaking, the reflective liquid distance caused by the characteristics of such polarized light-emitting liquid crystals should be used when there is a good sub-contrast. In the lens-shadow system, the transmissive liquid crystal is displayed. The light effect is in line with the system's spectroscopic on Ra ti (the main crystal projector with a large-angle spectroscopic display limited to JF will be shown in a certain display with the LCD design. The system is also the requirement of S polarized light and P polarized light. It is important that the 7-blade light needs to be able to maintain a certain extinction ratio of incidence in the first place (>), without limiting the system. Incident light can improve the efficiency of light collection. The design of a component is very difficult. In terms of polarization polarization splitting, I ^ 通 # is the opposite component. In addition, the use of polarization The projection lens must also have ~ 77 light edges, and these components can be placed between the ^^ ^; the back focus is more complicated 'especially if you want a relatively large magnification for a long distance of t μ for the lens, the lens The design must conform to ϊ ΐ 'This pair of essays is quite sleepy A conventional reflective liquid crystal projection display system such as "Figure 2 includes: light source device 30, front polarizer 3 1, polarized polarizer 1 no '10, two-color 稜鏡 4 0 (X- Cube), LCD panels 21, 22, & head 60.

Description of the invention (4) 2 The mirror 40 penetrates the two-color 稜鏡 40 to the polarized polarizer along the original incident path, and then the projection lens 60 projects the image onto the screen 61. The conventional reflective liquid crystal projection system has the following shortcomings: 1. Because the incident light is s-polarized light, and the outgoing light is ρ-polarized light, and s-polarized light and P-polarized light are compared to the two-color 稜鏡 4 〇, Its frequency spectrum will be shifted, causing color deviation. 2 · Because the polarization beam splitting 稜鏡 丨 〇 can be polarized into the entire visible light range, it must be broadband (B r 〇a ^ — band), which is more complicated and expensive to produce of. 3. Under the requirements of local extinction ratio and wideband polarized beam splitting, the numerical aperture (Numerical Aperture, NA) value of polarized beam splitter prism 10 is very high, and the relative light collection efficiency of the system is also reduced. In order to solve the problems of the conventional technology mentioned above, another structure as shown in Fig. 3 is proposed. This reflective liquid crystal projection display system mainly includes a white light incident light 301, dichroic mirrors 41, 42, 43 and 32a, 3 2b, green, red, and blue liquid crystal panels 21, 2 2, 2 3, and green. The light, red light, and meal light polarized beam splitting prisms 11, 12, 13, a light combining device 50 (X-Cube), and a projection lens 60. The method is to first use the dichroic mirrors 41, 42, 43 to separate the three primary colors from the white light incident light 301, and then use three polarization polarization beam splitters 11, 1, 2, 1 3 to process the three primary colors (R , G, B), so that the polarization beam splitter 稜鏡 1 1, 1 2, 1 3 only needs a narrow frequency ', and the numerical aperture value of the polarization beam splitter 稜鏡 1 1, 1, 2, 13 can be increased. However, in the previous case, in addition to the two polarization polarization beamsplitters and three more dichroic mirrors than the previous system, this system solved the problem described previously.
