In particular, the invention relates to an oblique gradient light-splitting film and inspection method and a reflective liquid crystal projection display device which can be applied to an off-axis projector light system and improve its uniformity, brightness, and contrast sharpness. In recent years, liquid crystal displays (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD) have gradually replaced traditional cathode-ray tubes (C ath) because of their advantages such as thin appearance, light weight, low operating voltage, power saving, and no radiation. de Ray Tube, CRT), and become the mainstream of display devices. However, due to the technical limitations of liquid crystal displays (LCD), most of them can only be limited to products with a display screen of less than 30 inches. For displays ranging from 30 inches to 60 inches, the development of Plasma Display Panel (PDP) was originally the most promising. However, because its cost is too high, it cannot become a product acceptable to ordinary consumers. . Therefore, the development direction of large-sized display devices is currently toward the development of display devices using projection technology, such as reflective projection display devices (rearive projection display devices) and rear projection display devices (rear projection display devices). The reflective projection display device includes a liquid crystal projector (Li quid Crystal

In the rear projection display device, a reflective liquid crystal (L C 0 S) projection technology is also used. At present, although the products on the market are mainly liquid crystal projectors (LCP) and digital light source deployment projectors (DLp), because the reflective liquid crystal (LC0S) projection technology has low cost and high aperture ratio (Nanda 9 0 %), High resolution (pixel pitch can be up to 2 mm or less), and many other manufacturers have begun to develop this technology. Therefore, the 'reflective liquid crystal (L C 0 S) projection technology can be said to be the key technology of the reflective projection display device and the rear projection display device. Its biggest advantage is that it can greatly reduce the production cost of the panel and has high resolution. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional reflection type liquid crystal (LC0s) projection device. Please refer to FIG. 1, in which a reflective liquid crystal (LC 0 S) projection device and its working principle are basically white light 1 〇 4 emitted by a light source 10 2, and red is emitted through a light-transmitting sheet 106 and a dichroic lens 108.

Among them, through the dichroic mirror 110, the red light 1 1 2 is reflected by the reflector 1 1 4 to reach the Polarization Beam Splitter (PBS) 116 〇 * Figure 2A and 2B The figure is a schematic diagram illustrating the working principle of a conventional polarization beam splitter (PBS). Here, the incident light is taken as the red light as an example. The depolarized red light 112 passes through the polarization polarization beam splitter (PBS) 1 1 6 in front of the reflective liquid crystal panel (LCOS panel) 118, and the polarization beam splitter (PBS) ) 1 1 6 will only reflect the polarized light in one of the polar directions into the LCOS panel. For example, a polarized eight-mirror (PBS) 1 1 6 is an S polarized light that reflects red light 1 1 2 (S -polarization light) into the reflective liquid crystal panel 118.

Description of the invention (4) It is a light beam. The dichroic mirror 110 shown in FIG. 1 uses a dichroic mirror, a dichroic filter, and a filter. Secondly, in the conventional reflective liquid crystal projection design, the light path (1 i gh t path) of the light travels is mostly parallel to the normal direction of the reflecting surface of the beam splitter. This design is generally called coaxial (〇η-a X is) design. For example, in FIG. 1, the traveling direction of the red light 112 is perpendicular to the reflecting surface 162 of the polarization beam splitter 116 and the reflecting surface 164 of the combining prism 152. Figure 3A is a top view showing the coaxial optical design of a conventional beamsplitter. Fig. 3B is a sectional view showing a schematic diagram obtained from the direction A in Fig. 3A. Fig. 3C is a cross-sectional view showing a light spot obtained on the B-B cross section in Fig. 3A. From Fig. 3B, it can be known that the light 302 is incident on the reflection surface 3 0 6 of the beam splitter 3 0 4 perpendicularly. From Figure 3C, it can be known that the shape of the light spot 312 obtained by the light 3 2 on the reflecting surface 3 0 6 is an ellipse. Generally speaking, this kind of coaxial optical design can get a light spot with good color uniformity 3 1 2. When better color uniformity is needed, optical coating technology can be used to coat the dichroic mirror or dichroic filter with dielectric or metal thin films of different properties to change the transmission of light waves by the interference of light Characteristics. For example, a dichroic mirror or a dichroic filter can be plated with a special optical thin film to form a horizontal gradient coating dichroic mirror or a horizontal gradient coating dichroic. filter) to filter out the more uniform and high-transmittance three primary color lights from the incident light, in order to facilitate the final synthesis of an image with better color uniformity to improve the same

Please refer to FIG. 4, wherein an off-axis reflective liquid crystal (LC0S) projection device basically works by emitting white light from a light source 40 2 through a dichroic mirror 404 and dividing red light 4 0 6. Green light 4 0 8 and blue light 41 0. The three primary colors of light are polarized by a polarizer (ρ ο 1 arizer) 4 1 2 and incident on the reflective liquid crystal panel 4 1 4.

In the off-axis reflection type liquid crystal projection device, there is a problem in that the color distribution of the three primary colors of light after the light separation is uneven. In general, even in an off-axis reflective liquid crystal projection device, a horizontal gradation type dichroic mirror or a horizontal gradation type dichroic filter is used, and the color distribution of the three primary color lights after the light splitting is still not uniform. Therefore, how to improve the uniformity and contrast sharpness of each color distribution of the three primary colors of light in the off-axis reflective liquid crystal projection device is an important issue.

Description of the invention (8) The angle of incidence is related. Therefore, by adjusting the direction of the thickness of the coating layer or the properties of the coating layer on the beam splitter, and the distribution of the thickness of the coating layer or the properties of the coating layer in the direction of change, for example, energy, color, reflectance, or The transmittance, and the spectrophotometry of light of different colors are quite evenly distributed. Therefore, the uniformity of the spectral beams of the reflective liquid crystal projection display device, the uniformity of the beams of different colors, and the available energy of the spectral beams can be greatly improved, that is, the brightness, uniformity, and contrast definition of the output image can be improved. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed description as follows: Embodiment: FIG. 5A is the first View showing the off-axis optical design of the beamsplitter. Fig. 5B is a sectional view showing a schematic diagram obtained from the C direction in Fig. 5A. Figure 5C is a cross-sectional view showing the light spot on the D-D section in Figure 5A. From Fig. 5B, it can be known that the light 502 does not enter the reflecting surface 506 of the beam splitter 504 perpendicularly, but has an angle with the normal of the reflecting surface 506. From Figure 5C, it can be known that the shape of the 1 ight spot 512 obtained by the light 5 2 on the reflecting surface 5 0 6 is an oblique ellipse, and in this off-axis optical design The color uniformity of the light spot 5 1 2 is not good.

Description of the invention (9) Dielectric or metal thin film of the same property, in order to change the characteristics of light wave transmission by the interference of light. However, in this off-axis optical design, instead of forming a horizontal gradation beam splitter, but forming a horizontal gradation beam splitter, a bevel gradient coating dichroic mirror is formed. 0 FIG. 6 It is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic diagram of a horizontal progressive beam splitter used in off-axis optical design. Please refer to FIG. 6, wherein the gradation of the key film on the reflecting surface 602 of the spectroscope is, for example, in the direction of the arrow E, the film thickness gradually changes. Basically, for a horizontal progressive beamsplitter, the arrow E is in the horizontal direction. The incident direction of light rays, for example, in FIG. 6, light rays having the same incident angle are represented by straight lines 604. Therefore, it can be known that the incident direction of light is not related to the direction of film thickness change, that is, arrow E. Therefore, in the off-axis optical design, the light is incident obliquely, so the color distribution on the obtained spot is uneven. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing an obliquely progressive beam splitter for use in an off-axis optical design. Please refer to FIG. 7, in which the thickness direction of the coating layer on the reflecting surface 702 of the spectroscope mirror is gradually changed, or the direction of the property of the coating layer is gradually changed, for example, in the direction of the arrow F, so as to cause the reflecting surface of the spectroscope The thickness or properties of the coated layer are gradually changed. For obliquely progressive beamsplitters, the arrow F is not necessarily in the horizontal direction, but is related to the direction of light incidence. For example, rays with the same incident angle are represented by a straight line 704, so the direction of the arrow F is related to the direction of the straight line 704. By adjusting the thickness or property of the coating layer on the reflecting surface of the beam splitter, for example, the direction of the arrow F and the direction of the arrow F, the thickness or property of the film
