Abstract

A light collimating system, comprising a transparent substrate, a plurality of conic elements and a screen. Each of the conic elements has a relatively narrow light incident side to which the screen is attached and a relatively wide light emitting side attached to the transparent substrate. Each of the conic elements has several straight or curved segments which are arranged to form a truncated cone with an opening angle that decreases towards the light emitting side. The screen has a plurality of transmission areas covered by the light incident sides of the conic elements. Outside the transmission areas, incoming light is reflected from the screen. Diffuse light entering the conic elements through the transmission areas of the screen is collimated by refraction and total reflection at peripheral surfaces of the conic elements, resulting in a light bundle of narrow angular intensity distribution emanating from the transparent substrate.

Prior Technology: Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have gradually replaced cathode tubes as monitors for computer images, and their main advantages are thinness, shortness, and low energy consumption. Can be widely used in wide-angle high-contrast imaging needs, such as medical and aerospace technology. The earliest designs could not meet such requirements. The recent LCDs design can provide a backlight module that produces collimated light. After the light passes through the liquid crystal display panel, it diffuses the light by the diffusion plate to further expand the viewing angle range.

The light-transmitting area where the light-transmitting spheres la and the plate 2 are tangent to the incident light is collimated by the diffraction effect of the light-transmitting sphere array. Light source utilization // is defined as the transmitted light intensity divided by the incident light intensity. when? When / = 0 · 079, the opening ratio is 0.03, and when 7? = 0.35, the opening ratio is 0.05. When the opening u rate is adjusted to be closer to the transmitted light intensity and the collimated light intensity 3, the light source utilization is better. The aforementioned design has reached soil 15. The light comes at a half-angle, which is significantly improved compared to the half-angle of the 25 ° beam of the earlier soil. In addition, the design of the US patent us 5, 839, S12 achieves the beam collimation effect by the diffraction of a series of light-transmitting cones lb on the light-transmitting flat plate 2. The national patent us 6, 327,091 B1 and US 5, 839, 812 can provide the collimated light source, the utilization rate of the light source is still low. Furthermore, the US patent US 'b, 839, 812 has a complicated structure, high production cost and disadvantage In view of the above, in view of this, the present invention discloses a light beam collimation device and collimation type using a simple structure and a high light source utilization rate by utilizing the refraction and total reflection beam characteristics of the light-transmitting cone itself.

The beam collimation device of the present invention includes a light-transmitting substrate, a plurality of light-transmitting cones, and a screen. Each single light-transmitting cone system has a smaller projecting surface and a larger area exiting surface. Each single ™ light-transmitting cone system is attached to the aforementioned screen with the smaller projection surface, and the larger The emitting surface is attached to the light-transmitting substrate. As a result, a plurality of light-transmitting regions are formed on the aforesaid burial screen at the abutment with the projection surface of the plurality of light-transmitting cones.

When light is scattered, its maximum refraction angle is 0c, which can be expressed by the following formula: Θc-z sin · '1 (1 / n) as shown in Figure 3, where α < 0c, the light is in a flat-headed light-transmitting cone; L 〇a moves along the maximum refraction angle and forms an angle with the side surface of the cone (person:-α, and reflects with the central axis at the following angles respectively: when 2 α < β =-2 α, or When 2α > xi (:, xi = 2 α — heart, finally, the light is emitted from the refractor at an exit angle of 0 (: 〇 ::: sin-1 (n sin Θ). Figure 4 reveals that the light is at a refraction The path in the body is composed of a first light-transmitting cone section 131a and a second light-transmitting cone section 131b. The first and second light-transmitting cone sections are connected coaxially. Two flat-headed cones, wherein the bottom surface 12b of the first light-transmitting cone segment is directly connected to the top surface 11c of the second light-transmitting cone segment.

The first and second areas The opening angle division of the light cone section is a! And its fa: t > α2. The refracting body with two cone sections can compress the light exit angle, thereby connecting to a better light collimation effect. The use of multi-axis coaxial cone sections, or multi-segmented fox-shaped peripheral cone sections bent towards the central axis is more effective, as shown in Figures 5a to 5d, where lid, lie, Ilf, and llg respectively represent Top surface 6
