1227368 五、發明說明α) 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關投影光學系統,尤其係指一種可遮蔽投射 於螢幕上雜光之投影光學系統。 【先前技術】 請參閱第1圖所示,係習知斜射之數位光源處理(D L Ρ, D i g i t a 1 L i gh t P r〇c e s s i ng)投影顯示系統採用之數位微型 鏡裝置(Digital micro-mirror device, DMD) 1 1 A ,其進行封裝時,會設置一光學玻璃1 1 1 A於D M D晶 片1 1 2A上,並利用氣相沉積(Vapor deposition)方法 直接於光學玻璃1 1 1A上形成一遮蔽薄膜1 1 3A,再於 遮蔽薄膜1 1 3 A中心以化學蝕刻形成一孔徑,後將光學玻 璃111A之遮蔽薄膜113A貼近DMD晶片112A入 射面設置,以藉由遮蔽薄膜1 1 3A遮蔽DMD 1 1A有效 區域外金屬導線等產生反射之雜光進入投影鏡頭(圖未示 ),而具有高成像品質;但由於光學玻璃1 1 1 A需接近D MD晶片1 1 2A入射面設置,因此當光學玻璃1 1 1A上 具有微小雜質時,易隨影像投射於螢幕(圖未示)上而影響 晝質,故一般需採用高潔淨度之光學玻璃以改善雜質之影 響,但此方式將會使D M D成本提高;此外,此項較不重要 遮蔽封裝製程之成敗,直接影響昂貴前D M D製程之良率, 而加重製造成本。 因此,為了降低DMD成本及提昇良率,目前之DMD 11Β (如第2圖所示)於封裝時不利用光學玻璃來遮蔽D M D晶片外之區域,而直接將電子電路1 1 4 Β暴露出來;1227368 V. Description of the invention α) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a projection optical system, and particularly to a projection optical system that can block stray light projected on a screen. [Prior art] Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a digital micro-mirror device (Digital micro-) used in the conventional oblique digital light source processing (DL P, Digita 1 L i gh t P rcess). Mirror device (DMD) 1 1 A. When packaging, an optical glass 1 1 1 A is set on the DMD wafer 1 1 2A, and it is formed directly on the optical glass 1 1 1A by a vapor deposition method. A masking film 1 1 3A is formed by chemical etching at the center of the masking film 1 1 3 A to form an aperture, and then a masking film 113A of the optical glass 111A is placed close to the incident surface of the DMD wafer 112A to shield the DMD by the masking film 1 1 3A. 1 1A Stray light generated by metal wires outside the effective area enters the projection lens (not shown) and has high imaging quality; however, since the optical glass 1 1 1 A needs to be set close to the D MD chip 1 1 2A incident surface, so when When optical glass 1 1 1A has small impurities, it is easy to affect the daytime quality as the image is projected on the screen (not shown). Therefore, it is generally necessary to use high-cleanness optical glass to improve the effect of impurities, but this method will Increase D M D cost; In addition, this less important masks the success or failure of the packaging process, which directly affects the yield of the expensive former D M D process and increases manufacturing costs. Therefore, in order to reduce the DMD cost and improve the yield, the current DMD 11B (as shown in Figure 2) does not use optical glass to shield the area outside the D M D chip during packaging, and directly exposes the electronic circuit 1 1 4 B;

Description of the invention (2) When it is applied to a rear projection system, it uses the screen frame around the display screen as a mask to shield the stray artifacts projected on the screen with the exposed electronic circuits, so that it does not affect the image Quality; however, because the front projection system does not have a screen frame, it is obvious that using the frame masking method cannot be applied to the front projection system. The conventional method is applied to the projection system before the oblique projection. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is used to set a shielding element 1 3 on the light path of the lighting unit 12 incident on the DMD 1 1 B, and the shielding element 1 3 to block stray light before entering the DMD 1 1 Β, but in the oblique projection system, the rectangular beam provided by the lighting unit 12 (as shown in Figure 3A) will be incident on the DMD 1 1 obliquely, resulting in illumination The light spot produces a deformed light beam on DMD 1 1 Β (as shown in Figure 3B), and in order to reduce the deformation of the light spot and cause peripheral brightness loss, the light spot on DMD 1 1B will generally be larger than the DMD chip 1 1 2 Β area, causing part of the light beam It will be projected on the electronic circuit 1 14B area of DMD 1 1 Β. Therefore, setting the shielding element 1 3 on the incident light path of DMD1 1B can only block the stray light outside the effective beam, but cannot obstruct the oblique deformation or increase the light spot. Large stray light (ie, the light beam projected on the electronic circuit area and reflected to the projection lens 14); therefore, the conventional method of using a shielding element is affected by the deformation of the light spot due to the oblique system, which cannot Up to shield stray light. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a projection optical system, which uses an imaging lens to form a light valve image on an imaging surface outside the light valve, and sets a shielding element on the imaging surface to block stray light, thereby improving imaging. Quality and reduced costs.
