[Previous technology] The existing color projection systems can be roughly divided into multi-light path filter-type color projection systems and single-light-path color wheel-type color projection systems according to their beam splitting methods. As shown in Figure 1, Necessary for the sheet-type projection system 9: The line is often from a white light source 91 such as a letter lamp. After homogenization by an integrator, the multiple white light sources 91 and reflectors 94 are used to separate the light from the single white light source 91.

Since the three monochromatic lights are separated from the same white light source 91, the above-mentioned color projection system 9 with multiple optical paths 95 requires extremely high brightness for the white light source 91, but is limited by Traditional light source Incandescent light bulb or halogen light bulb, the projection system 9 still has the disadvantages of low light energy utilization efficiency and excessive power consumption of the system, so it is difficult to apply to handheld devices with low energy storage capacity. In addition, 'because of the above-mentioned multi-light path color Projection system 9 must be provided with multiple sets of dichroic mirrors 93 and reflectors 94, three sets of modulators 96, and at least one 1232995 light prism 97, even when the modulators 96 use liquid crystal (Uuid. Crystal Display, LCD) adjustment. When changing technology, it is necessary to add a polarizing polarizer (Poladizer) 99 to polarize the optical signal; therefore, the projection system 9 has the disadvantages of complex design, too many components, high accuracy and difficulty of splitting, and large volume. , It is difficult to integrate and use in handheld devices. Since the color projection system with a single optical path color wheel type has only a single optical path, it has inherent advantages in image focusing and sharpness compared to the above-mentioned multi-light path color projection system 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the light source 81 of the general color wheel type color projection system 8 also comes from a white light source such as a halogen lamp. It first focuses the light emitted by the light source 81 with a focusing lens module (Condensing Lens) 82. 1. transmissive color wheel

In this embodiment, the light modulation module 14 has an optical path. Digital micro-mirror element 141 (Digital Micr® 10 DMD). 'Therefore, after the control unit 31 receives an instruction from the input interface 4 or the base frequency early 33, it retrieves all the digital information of the electronic storage medium 5 or the base frequency unit 33, The color image information is divided into red-based image information and green-based image information 15 Λ. Based on the color-based image information, the semiconductor light source module 11 and the light modulation module 14 are simultaneously controlled according to this; that is, when the control When the unit 31 controls the light-emitting diode chip ⑴ to emit red light, the control unit 31 synchronously controls the digital element to modulate the red light according to the above-mentioned red base image information, and projects the red light through the lens module 12. Color base image, when the control unit controls the light emitting diode die 112 to emit green light, the control unit 31 synchronously controls the digital micro-reflective description module 141 to modulate the green light according to the green base image information, and The green module image is projected through the lens module 12; and when the control unit 31 controls the light emitting diode crystal 113 to emit blue light, 10 1232995 is made early το 31 Synchronously controls the digital micro-mirror element 141 according to the above-mentioned blue-based image information to modulate the blue light, and project the blue-based image through the lens module 12. Since the semiconductor light source module u is composed of the light emitting diode grains 5: 1, 112, and 113, the semiconductor light source module U can be directly driven and controlled by the circuit 3 in each of the different bandwidths. The color light is switched at a high speed that exceeds the period of human vision dwell, and the light modulation module 14 is synchronously driven by the control unit 31 to modulate each monochromatic light. The above-mentioned red background image, green background image, and blue background image are sequentially displayed at high speed, and a color image superimposed on human vision is projected. As shown in FIG. 7, the second preferred embodiment of the handheld device with a micro-projection system according to the present invention is substantially the same as the first preferred embodiment described above. The handheld device 10 is also a mobile phone, and the difference lies in this implementation. In the example, the projection system 1 adopts a reflective Liquid Crystal (Liquid Crystal 15 LC, LCOS) technology. Specifically, it is different from the first preferred embodiment described above in that the light modulation module 14 has a polarization beam splitter 142 disposed on the optical path 13, and a polarization beam splitter 142 disposed on the optical path 13 and connected to the control unit. 3ι electrically connected light modulator 143. The light modulator 143 is electrically connected to the control unit 31 and is driven and controlled by the semiconductor light source module 11 in synchronization with the semiconductor light source module 11. In this embodiment, the light modulator 143 is a reflective silicon liquid crystal element (LCOS Device), and the light emitted by the semiconductor light source module u travels along the optical path 13 and passes through the polarization beam splitter After 142, it is turned to the light modulator 143, and then modulated and reflected by the light modulator 143, so that 1232995 4 minutes of light passes through the polarization beam splitter 142 and is directed toward the lens module 12. In this embodiment, the polarization beam splitter 142 is a 稜鏡 -type polarization beam splitter 142, which has a polarization beam splitting surface 144 at an angle of 45 degrees to the optical path 13. However, it is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art will understand through the following description. As shown in FIG. 8, the polarizing beam splitter 142 can also be a flat polarizing beam splitter 142, and the surface 145 of the flat polarizing beam splitter 142 and the optical Path 13 is at an angle of 45 degrees. Therefore, when a color image is to be projected, when the control unit 31 captures digital information and separates the color image information of the digital information content into red-based image information, green-based image information, and blue-based image information, the synchronization is performed accordingly. Controlling the semiconductor light source module u and the light modulator 143; that is, when the control unit 31 controls the light emitting diode grain m (see FIG. 6) to emit red light, the red light passes through the polarization beam splitting The modulator 142 reflects the polarized light toward the light modulator 143. The light modulator 143 is controlled by the control unit 31 to synchronously modulate the RGB light according to the above-mentioned red-based image information, and remodulates the modulated light again. Towards the polarization beam splitter 142, at this time the polarization beam splitter 142 blocks part of the modulated (or unmodulated) light, and then 'projects the red base image through the lens module 12; the same applies to the control When the unit 31 controls the light-emitting diode die 112 (see FIG. 6) to emit green light, it can also synchronously control the light modulator 143 according to the above-mentioned green-based image information, and will pass the polarization beam splitter 142 and the The green base image modulated by the light modulator 143 is projected through the lens module 12; and although the control unit 31 can also synchronously control the light-emitting polar crystal grain 13 in the same manner as above (see FIG. 6) And the light modulator 143, and project the blue-based image modulated by the polarizing beam splitter 142 and the polarizer 143 through the lens module 12 through 12 5 10 15 20 1232995. Since the semiconductor light source module j] can directly drive and control the semiconductor light source module with the circuit 3, the group u can switch between the monochromatic lights with different bandwidths at a high speed that exceeds the period of human visual retention. Control unit 31: step-by-step driving the photodiode 143, in conjunction with the polarization splitter 142, to modulate each early-color light, so that the above-mentioned red-based image, green-based image, and blue-based image appear sequentially in high speed, and are projected on a human Color image superimposed visually. 1σ ,, as shown above, in the handheld device 10 with a micro-projection system according to the present invention, due to the projection system! During operation, monochromatic light without modulation is not generated from the semiconductor light source module η, so it saves considerable power
