Stereoscopic images, often referred to as "three-dimensional" or "3D" images, have a depth dimension to the viewer. These images include separate superimposed left and right eye images that are arranged to mimic the depth of field image when the left and right eyes are viewed as 'small differences in the surface of the three-dimensional object caused by the human eye spacing'. The images of the left and right eyes are such that the viewer's right eye does not see the left eye @image, and the left eye does not see the 艮 image. The display mode is generally by means of the optical lens worn by the viewer.

November 04 shuttle _ page raw components. By projecting the left and right eye images generated by the left and right image generating elements onto the screen, stereoscopic images can be seen when the left and right eyes of the person wear eyeglasses of different polarization directions. [0005] However, when light is emitted from the polarizing beam splitter, the emitted light contains stray light, and the presence of the disordered light is partly due to image noise caused by optical characteristics inherent to all real optical elements. For example, when a polarizing beam splitter receives a high level of luminous flux, it generally becomes a thermal load and undergoes physical distortion to cause stress birefringence, which causes depolarization of light and a decrease in contrast, and another reason is The polarized light receives spatial information on the respective left and right image generating elements, and also receives other light in the optical path of the polarized light, such as birefringence in an optical element material such as a polarizing beam splitter. Disorganized spatial information, and these messy lights do not effectively separate and exclude their noise before being projected onto the display. These image noise and cluttered spatial information reduce the contrast of the projected light projected onto the screen. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a stereoscopic projection optical system capable of improving contrast. [0007] A stereoscopic projection optical system comprising an optical path: [0008] an image absorber for receiving incident light, separating the incident light into a first polarization and a polarization direction a second polarized light that modulates the first polarized light and loads the spatial information, and emits the first polarized light modulated and loaded with the spatial information; [0009] an analyzer disposed on the map The first polarized light like the absorber is emitted 096136378 Form No. A0101 Page 5 / Total 16 pages 1003409408-0 1359284 100 years. 11. On the 04th of the month, the shuttle is replacing the exit light path for the first polarization. Light passing through; [0010] a transmissive light modulator disposed on an outgoing light path of the first polarized light emitted by the analyzer, the transmissive light modulator having two alternating working states of opening and closing, When the transmissive light modulator is in an on state, the first polarized light maintains its polarization direction through the transmissive light modulator, and the transmissive light modulator is in a wearing state, the transmissive light modulation Turning the polarization direction of the first polarized light To the direction of polarization of the polarized light and a second exit. [0011] The stereoscopic projection optical system can be used to input signals for the transmissive optical modulator such that the transmissive optical modulator has two alternating working states of opening and closing, so that the left and right eyes of the viewer are alternately obtained. For images with different polarization states, when the frequency of the input signal is fast enough, the left and right eyes of the viewer respectively wear two polarizing plates whose detection directions are perpendicular to each other, and the stereoscopic image information can be observed. At the same time, an analyzer provided on the optical path is used, and under the action of the analyzer, the light of a specific polarization direction is allowed to pass, and the image noise caused by the optical characteristics inherent in the real optical component is eliminated and eliminated. The disordered spatial information generated by the birefringence in the optical element material in the polarized light path enhances the contrast of the projected outgoing light.

In the present embodiment, the polarization beam splitter 121 is a polarization beam splitting prism. The polarization beam splitter 丨21 can be classified into two types of reflection of 5-polarized light and transmission of p-polarized light, and transmission of S-polarized light by P-polarized light, depending on the action of the s-polarized light and the P-polarized light. In the present embodiment, the polarization beam splitter 23 reflects s-polarized light and transmits p-polarized light.
