Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a projection system, and more particularly to an off-axis projection system capable of reducing manufacturing costs and improving imaging quality. [Prior art] The projection system using a reflective liquid crystal display can be divided into an on-axis projection system and an off-axis projection system. For the on-axis projection system, both the irradiation beam and the imaging beam follow the same path. To travel, a polarizing beam splitter is usually required. However, this polarizing beam splitter has the problems of being difficult to manufacture, expensive to manufacture, and making the volume of the projection system large. In contrast, both the illumination beam and the imaging beam of the off-axis projection system travel along different paths, so that the problems of the need to install a polarization beam splitter can be avoided. Please refer to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a conventional off-axis projection system. In Fig. 1, for simplicity, only the green (g) channel is shown. This off-axis projection system includes at least: an illumination source 10, an X-plate (X-p 1 ate) composed of a dichroic panel 150 (r), and 150 (b), and a polarizing plate. 104 (r, g, b), field lens 140 (r, g, b), reflective display device 108 (r, g, b), analyzer 110 (r, g, b), color cube 1 6 0 (co 1 orcube) and projection lens group. The irradiation source 1 0 2 generates a white light beam source. After passing through the X-plate, it is separated into red, green, and blue components. Taking green light in the figure as an example, the irradiation beam 1 1 6 (g) passes through The polarizing plate 10 4 (g) is incident on the reflective display device 108 (g) at a non-vertical angle along the optical path 1 1 8 (g). After the irradiation light beam 1 1 6 (g) is modulated by the reflective display device 108 (g), the reflection light forms an imaging light

Description of the invention (2) Beam 1 2 0 (g), the imaging light beam 1 2 0 (g) is along the optical path 1 2 2 (g), and passes through the field lens 1 4 0 (g), analysis 1 1 0 (g), and colored cubes 1 60 are reflected toward the projection lens group 1 1 4. The red and blue light beams that are not shown are individually passed through the corresponding polarizing plates 1 0 4 ( r, b), reflective display device 1 0 (r, b), field lens 140 (r, b), analyzer 110 (r, b), and color cube 1 6 0 to reflect toward the projection lens group 1 1 4 . The three-color imaging beams 1 2 0 (r, g, and b) are combined by the color cubes 160, and then projected to the projection lens group 1 1 4. However, in the above-mentioned off-axis projection system, since the optical path 118 (r, g, b) of the irradiation light and the optical path 122 (r, g, b) of the imaging light are not located on the same path, compared to the color cube 1 60 and the axial direction of the projection lens group 114, the reflective display device 108 (r, g, b) and the color cube 160 are not parallel and have an included angle, so the incident reflective display device 108 (r, g, b) ) The light cone angle is large and asymmetric, which causes problems such as chromatic aberration, imaging sharpness, pixel divergence, uniformity, and contrast that are not easy to adjust. To solve the above problems, when designing the lens, the projection lens group A flat plate 1 3 0 is added to the 14 group. However, this will increase the difficulty of lens design and assembly and increase the manufacturing cost of the lens. In addition, in the above-mentioned off-axis projection system, since the reflective display device 108 (r, g, b) and the color cube 160 are not parallel, and the incident light 1 16 (g) is one The inclination angle passes through the X-plate, so the X-plate needs to be formed with two axial gradient coatings. However, the production of this X-plate is more difficult and the cost is higher. [Summary of the Invention]
