Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention provides a panel positioning method for a projection system, particularly a panel positioning method that can shorten production time and reduce production costs. [Previous technology] Projectors are devices that use optical projection to project images onto large screens. They can be roughly divided into cathode-ray tube (CRT) projectors depending on the light valves used internally. , Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projectors, Digital Light Processing (DLP) projectors, and Silicon Crystal (LCoS) projectors. Among them, [CD projectors are transmissive projectors because light passes through the LCD panel during operation, and LCoS and DLP projectors are developed by the principle of light reflection, so they are also referred to as reflective projectors. The basic principle of the LCoS projector is similar to that of the LCD projector, except that the LCoS projector uses the LCoS panel to modulate the light signal emitted from the light source to the screen. The LCoS panel is a CMOS silicon wafer helmet + a horse circuit board and a reflective layer, and then coated with a liquid crystal layer. Finally, it is sealed with a broken glass panel. I LCD projectors use light sources to pass through the LCD for modulation. The LCoS projector uses a reflective architecture, so the light emitted by the light source will not penetrate the LCoS panel, which is a reflective type. No. 1235881 Whether it is an LCD panel or an LCoS panel, it is known that when the panel is fixed to the core optical element (kernel), it is installed in a pin-to-hole manner as shown in Figure 1. In the first figure, the panel 106 is first mounted on the core optical element 104 with a mounting bolt 108. After the three panels 106 are installed, an adjustment step is performed to make the images on the three panels 106 superimposed on the lens 102. This adjustment step is usually assisted by a six-axis adjustment jig. After the three-color images on the three-piece panel 106 are adjusted and superimposed, the three-piece panel 106 is fixed on the core optical element 104 by using ultraviolet sealant or welding and fixing. This conventional panel installation method will cause multi-directional cumulative tolerances when the UV sealant shrinks or thermal expansion and contraction of other components in the future, resulting in image misalignment. In addition, adjusting the three-piece panel 106 to superimpose the three-color images must take more time and affect the production schedule. Fig. 2 shows another conventional panel mounting method. The panel 106 in Fig. 2 is directly fixed to the core optical element 104, and the alignment is not adjusted through the bolt holes. Although this installation method can avoid the possibility of image misalignment caused by accumulated tolerances, this conventional installation method cannot make the three-color images on the three-piece panel 106 superimposed on the optimal focal length. 1235881 [Summary of the invention] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a panel positioning method which can shorten the production time and reduce the production cost, so as to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. According to the patent application scope of the present invention, a panel positioning method of a projection system is disclosed. In this method, a first panel is fixed on a first surface of a core optical element, and an image of the first panel is projected to a lens through the core optical element. Then, the lens is adjusted and fixed at an imaging position, and a second panel and a third panel are mounted on the second surface and the third surface of the core optical element in a pinhole alignment manner. After that, the positions of the second panel and the third panel are fine-tuned so that the images of the second panel and the third panel are imaged at the imaging position through the core optical element. Finally, fix the second panel to the third panel. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the preferred embodiments are hereinafter described in detail with the accompanying drawings. However, the following preferred embodiments and drawings are for reference and description only, and are not intended to limit the present invention. [Performance Mode] Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic 1235881 diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The projection system in FIG. 3 includes a lens 202, a core optical element 204, and three panels 206a, 206b, and 206c. Although the components of the projection system of the present invention shown in Fig. 3 are similar to the conventional projection system, the panel mounting method is quite different. First, the panel 206a is fixed on one of the surfaces of the core optical element 204. At this time, the image of the panel 206a is projected to the lens 202 through the core optical element 204. Then, the relative position of the lens 202 and the core optical element 204 is adjusted to focus the image of the panel 206a on the lens 202. At this time, the position of the lens 202 can be referred to as the imaging position of the projection system. After the relative positions of the panel 206a, the core optical element 204 and the lens 202 are adjusted and fixed, the panel 206b and the panel 206c are mounted on the core optical element 204. The panel 206b and the panel 206c may be mounted using a pin to hole method using a mounting bolt 208. After the panel 206b and the panel 206c are installed in a bolt hole alignment mode, there is still some room for fine adjustment. The images of the panels 206b and 206c are also projected to the lens 202 via the core optical element 204. At this time, the images of the panels 206b and 206c can be focused on the lens 202 by finely adjusting the positions of the panels 206b and 206c. After fine-tuning the positions of the panels 1235881 206b and 206c, the images of the three panels 206a, 206b, and 206c are superimposed and focused on the lens 202, so that a complete color image can be projected. Finally, the panel 206b and the panel 206c are fixed in an ultraviolet sealant or a known manner to complete the assembly process of the projection system of the present invention. The core optical element 204 in this embodiment is composed of a plurality of filters. These filters have the function of selective transmission or reflection, and only allow light of a specific color to pass through or reflect in a specific direction, for example, on one side. Red light is allowed to pass through and reflected by green light. Because the core optical element 204 has such a feature ', images of different colors can be focused on the lens 202 through reflection or transmission. In addition, the panels 206a, 206b, and 20c used in the present invention may be a liquid crystal panel or a silicon-based liquid crystal panel. If a liquid crystal panel is used, it is a transmissive imaging projection. If a silicon-based liquid crystal panel is used, it is a reflective imaging. projection. In the preferred embodiment, three panels 206a, 206b, and 206c are used for explanation. 'In practice, two panels or multiple panels may be used, depending on the design of the matching between the panel and the core optical components. . Compared with the conventional installation method, the panel positioning method of the present invention has the characteristics of reducing the adjustment steps, so it can save the cost of adjusting the jig and shorten the adjustment time, and also avoid the possibility of the image misalignment caused by the accumulated tolerance. In addition, because the adjustment steps are simplified, the projection system is less likely to be contaminated by dust during the assembly process 1235881, which can improve the reliability of the product. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
