- FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the lens array 2.
- FIG. 1 Each of the first and second lens arrays 1 and 2 has a configuration in which small lenses 10 each having a substantially rectangular outline are arranged in a matrix of M rows and N columns.
- Fig. 1 (A-1) shows the tracking diagram of the partial luminous flux passing through the small lens 10 in the second row
- Fig. 1 (B-1) A tracing diagram of the partial light beam that has passed through the small lens 10 in the seventh row is shown.
- the light beam superimposed on the liquid crystal light valve 3 is modulated by the liquid crystal light valve 3 in accordance with image information, and then enters the cross dichroic prism 4.
- the light beam emitted from the cross dichroic prism 4 is projected onto a projection screen 7 via a projection lens system 6.
- the light passing through the central axis 5 (along the y direction in the figure) of the cross dichroic prism 4 is also projected, as indicated by the rough dotted lines in FIGS. 1 (A-1) and (B-1). It is projected on the positions of Pa and Pb on the screen 7.
- light rays are scattered in the gap between the reflective films near the central axis 5 and light to be reflected is not reflected, so that the central axis 5 is not reflected.
- the amount of light passing through the light source decreases. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 (A-2) and (B-12), portions having lower luminance than the surroundings, that is, dark lines DLa and DLb are formed on the projection screen 7.
- FIG. 3 (A) which is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 1 (A-1)

- the image of the cross section 8 of the partial light beam is inverted by the projection lens system 6, enlarged and projected on the projection screen 7, so that the dark line DL extends from one end 13 of the projection area 9 on the projection screen 7.
- the ratio between the distance R2 to a and the distance R1 from the other end 14 of the projection area 9 to the dark line DLa is equal to the ratio between the distance r2 and the distance r1. That is, the position where the dark line DLa is formed depends on the position of the cross section 8 of the partial light beam on the X plane including the central axis 5 of the cross dichroic prism 4 with respect to the central axis 5. Depends on.
- the center axis 5 of the cross dichroic prism 4 The positions of the cross sections of the respective partial luminous fluxes in the xy plane including are different. Therefore, the dark lines DLa and DLb are formed at different positions. Similarly, the center axis of the cross dichroic prism 4 of the partial light beam passing through the small lens 10 existing in the columns other than the second and seventh columns of the first and second lens arrays 1 and 2 Since the positions of the cross-sections in the xy plane including 5 are also different, the number of columns of the first and second lens arrays 1 and 2, that is, N dark lines must be formed on the projection screen 7. become.
- the position where the dark line is formed is also different.
- the partial luminous fluxes passing through the different columns of the first and second lens arrays 2 form different dark lines at different positions because the positions with respect to the center axis 5 of the cross dichroic prism 4 are different from each other.
- the position of the cross section of the partial light beam on the xy plane including the central axis 5 of the cross dichroic prism 4 is different because the angle of the partial light beam incident on the cross dichroic prism 4 is different (see FIG. 1).
- the partial light beams passing through the different columns of the first and second lens arrays 1 and 2 are incident on the cross dichroic prism 4 at different angles, so that the positions of the partial light beams on the central axis 5 are different. Therefore, if the angle of the partial light beam incident on the cross dichroic prism 4 is different, or if the angle of the partial light beam superimposed on the liquid crystal light valve 3 is different, the position where the dark line is formed will be different.
- the partial luminous fluxes passing through the M small lenses arranged in the same column direction position of the first and second lens arrays 1 and 2 are dark lines at substantially equal positions on the projection screen 7 respectively.
- the darkness of the dark line is approximately equal to the sum of the darknesses of the dark lines formed by the respective small lenses. Therefore, the dark lines formed by each of the partial light beams passing through the M small lenses may be formed at different positions on the projection screen 7. In other words, in this way, although the number of dark lines increases, it is possible to reduce the darkness of each dark line. As a result, the dark line becomes very inconspicuous. Note that it is not necessary that all the dark lines passing through the M small lenses be formed at different positions, but it is sufficient if only some of them are formed at different positions.
- the present invention has been able to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.
- the means and the effect will be described.
- the first projection type display device of the present invention comprises:
- An illumination optical system for emitting illumination light for emitting illumination light
- Color light separating means for separating the illumination light into light of three colors
- Three sets of light modulating means for modulating each of the three colors of light based on a given image signal
- Projection means for projecting the light synthesized by the color light synthesis means on a projection surface.
- the illumination optical system includes:
- the position at which the central axis is projected on the projection surface by a partial light beam of the plurality of partial light beams existing in the same column direction is shifted from the position projected by another partial light beam. It is characterized in that it is configured to be shifted in a direction different from the direction corresponding to the central axis.
- One partial light beam forms a dark line corresponding to the central axis by projecting the central axis of the color light combining means on the projection surface, and a plurality of partial light beams in a row usually have the central axis of the color light combining means projected on the projection surface.
- the projection is made at almost the same position above to form a dark line.
- a part of the plurality of partial light beams in one row projects a central axis of the color light combining means to different positions on the projection surface to form a dark line. It is possible to make the dark line formed on the surface inconspicuous.
- Light beam splitting means for generating the plurality of partial light beams
- the apparatus further includes an incident angle changing unit that causes a part of the partial light beams existing in the same column direction to enter the color light combining unit at an incident angle different from that of the other partial light beams.
- the light beam splitting means includes at least one lens array including a plurality of small lenses arranged in the column direction and the row direction,
- the incident angle changing means includes a stepped reflecting mirror having a step on the reflecting surface.
- the light beam splitting means includes at least one lens array including a plurality of small lenses arranged in the column direction and the row direction,
- the incident angle changing means includes a light-transmitting plate member which is arranged to be inclined with respect to the surface of the lens array.
- the position of the central optical path of some partial light beams with respect to the central axis of the color light combining means can be shifted from the position of the central optical path of other partial light beams, and each partial light beam has a dark line at a different position.
- by combining the above cases it is possible to make dark lines formed in the projected image less noticeable.
- the second projection display device is
- An illumination optical system for emitting illumination light for emitting illumination light
- a color light separation unit that separates the illumination light into light of three colors
- Three sets of light modulating means for modulating each of the three colors of light based on a given image signal
- a projection unit for projecting the light recombined by the color light combining unit onto a projection surface
- the illumination optical system includes:
- a first lens array having a plurality of small lenses for dividing a light beam emitted from the light source into a plurality of partial light beams
- a second lens array having a plurality of small lenses respectively corresponding to the plurality of small lenses of the first lens array
- the color light combining means are arranged along a predetermined direction corresponding to the central axis.
- An optical path changing unit that shifts an optical path of some partial light beams from an optical path of another partial light beam among a plurality of partial light beams passing through the plurality of small lenses;
- the light passes through a plurality of small lenses arranged along a predetermined direction (the row direction in the above description) corresponding to the central axis of the color light combining means.
- the plurality of partial luminous fluxes project a central axis of the color light combining means at substantially the same position on the projection surface to form a dark line.

If the light beam emitted from the light source unit 110 is parallel light parallel to the system optical axis, the partial light beam emitted from the small lens 122 of the first lens array 120 also has the central optical path of the system. Since it is parallel to the optical axis, the second lens array 130 can be omitted. However, when light from the light source 110 emits light whose central optical path has a certain angle with respect to the system optical axis, the central optical path of the partial light beam emitted from the small lens 122 also becomes systematic. Not parallel to the optical axis.
- the partial light beam having such a tilted central optical path may not be able to illuminate a predetermined area to be illuminated, that is, the liquid crystal light valves 250, 255, and 254. this child This means that the light use efficiency of the projection display device is reduced.
- the second lens array 130 is configured such that when a central light path of such light has a certain angle with respect to the system optical axis, and the partial light flux enters the small lens 132, the central light path is formed by a system. The light is converted to be parallel to the optical axis of the system to improve the light use efficiency.
- FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the polarization conversion element 140 (FIG. 5).
- This polarization conversion element 140 includes a polarization beam splitter array 141 and a selective phase difference plate 142.
- the polarizing beam splitter array 144 has a shape in which a plurality of columnar translucent plate members 144 each having a parallelogram cross section are alternately bonded. Polarized light separating films 144 and reflective films 15 are alternately formed on the interface between the transparent plate members 144. Note that this polarizing beam splitter array 144 is obtained by laminating a plurality of glass sheets having these films formed thereon such that the polarization separating films 144 and the reflecting films 144 are alternately arranged.
- the selective retardation plate 142 has a ⁇ ⁇ 2 retardation layer 146 formed on the exit surface of the light passing through the polarization splitting film ⁇ 44, and the light reflected by the reflection film 145 is formed.
- the exit surface is an optical element in which the two retardation layers are not formed. Therefore, the ⁇ -polarized light transmitted through the polarization separation film 144 is converted into s-polarized light by the ⁇ 2 retardation layer 144 and emitted. As a result, the light beam having a random polarization direction that has entered the polarization conversion element 140 is emitted as almost s-polarized light.
- the center position of the s-polarized light emitted from one polarization separating film 144 of the polarization conversion element 140 (a bundle of two s-polarized light beams) Is shifted in the X direction from the center of the incident random luminous flux (mi-polarized light + pure polarized light).

As a result, the liquid crystal light bulbs 250, 252, and 2554 are almost uniformly illuminated.
- the two dichroic mirrors 210 and 212 function as color light separating means for separating the white light condensed by the superimposing lens 160 into three color lights of red, green and blue. I do.
- the first dichroic mirror 210 transmits the red light component of the white light flux emitted from the illumination optical system 100 and reflects the blue light component and the green light component.
- the red light transmitted through the first dichroic mirror 210 is reflected by the reflecting mirror 220 and reaches the liquid crystal light valve 250 for red light through the field lens 240.
- the field lens 240 has a function of converting a partial light beam emitted from the polarization conversion element 140 into a light beam parallel to the center optical path.

(Lens) 2 4 4 to reach the liquid crystal light valve 2 5 4 for blue light.
- the reason why the relay lens system is used for blue light is to prevent a decrease in light use efficiency because the optical path length of blue light is longer than the optical path lengths of other color lights.
- the three liquid crystal light valves 250, 255, and 254 are light modulating means for modulating the three color lights in accordance with given image information (image signals) to form images. It has all the functions.
- the cross dichroic prism 260 has a function as a color light combining means for forming a color image by combining three color lights.
- the configuration of the cross dichroic prism 260 is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. That is, in the cross dichroic prism 260, a dielectric multilayer film that reflects red light and a dielectric multilayer film that reflects blue light are formed in an approximately X-shape at the interface of the four right-angle prisms. I have.
- the three colored lights are combined by these dielectric multilayer films to form a combined light for projecting a color image.
- the combined light generated by the cross dike aperture prism 260 is emitted in the direction of the projection lens system 270.
- the projection lens system 270 has a function as a projection optical system that projects the combined light onto a projection screen 300 and displays a color image.
- the projection display apparatus 1000 shown in FIG. 5 is characterized by a stepped reflection mirror 150.
- FIG. 8 is a front view (A) and plan views (B) and (C) showing the configuration of the stepped reflecting mirror 150.
- (B) and (C) are views of (A) viewed from the side.
- the stepped reflecting mirror 150 is formed by attaching two elongated strip-shaped sub-mirrors 154 onto a flat main mirror 152.
- the two sub-mirrors 154 are pasted horizontally at substantially symmetrical heights from the center of the height of the main mirror 154.
- These mirrors can be composed of total reflection mirrors or cold mirrors that transmit thermal energy. Furthermore, heat energy Not only that, it may have a function of transmitting ultraviolet light.
- the stepped reflecting mirror 150 By providing the stepped reflecting mirror 150 with the function of transmitting heat energy and ultraviolet light, the deterioration of the polarizing plate and other elements normally provided in the liquid crystal light valves 250, 255, and 254 due to heat and ultraviolet light is reduced. Can be reduced.
- FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are explanatory diagrams showing the function of the stepped reflecting mirror 150.
- FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view along the XY plane including the line AA in FIG.
- two central optical paths are shown by a solid line and a dashed line.
- the solid line indicates the center optical path of the light reflected by the sub mirror 154
- the dashed line indicates the center optical path of the light reflected by the main mirror 152.
- each of the two optical paths indicates the central optical path of a partial light beam passing through a small lens arranged in the same column direction position (X direction position) of the lens arrays 120 and 130. The only difference is the position in the row direction (position in the y direction).
- the optical path indicated by the solid line is shifted in the X direction with respect to the optical path indicated by the alternate long and short dash line after being reflected by the stepped reflecting mirror 150.
- the central optical path of the light reflected by the sub-mirror 15 4 indicated by the solid line is different from the central optical path of the light reflected by the main mirror 15 2 indicated by the one-dot chain line.
- Shifting by 0 means that among the partial light beams passing through the small lenses of the lens arrays 12 0 and 13 0 arranged in the same column direction, the light beam reflected by the submirror _ 15 4 and the main mirror 1 5 2 This is the same meaning that the light flux reflected by the mirror is shifted in the X direction by the reflecting mirror 150.
- these partial luminous fluxes enter the superimposed lens 160 at different positions in the X direction, so that the incident angles passing through the liquid crystal light valve 252 by illuminating the liquid crystal light valve 252 differ. .
- the partial luminous fluxes having passed through the liquid crystal light valve 255 at different incident angles are modulated in the liquid crystal light valve 252 and then pass through the cross dichroic prism 260.
- the part reflected by the main mirror 1 52 The incident angle to the cross dichroic prism 260, that is, the passing angle in the cross dichroic prism 260, differs between the central optical path of the light beam and the central optical path of the partial light beam reflected by the sub-mirror 154. That is, the light passes through different positions with respect to the central axis 2 62 of the cross dichroic prism 260.
- the center axis 2 of the cross dichroic prism 260 If the position of the central light path of the partial light beam with respect to 62 is different, the position where the dark line is formed will also be different. Therefore, the dark line formed by each of the partial luminous fluxes passing through the M small lenses arranged in the same column direction does not concentrate at one place, and the dark line can be made inconspicuous.
- FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of the stepped reflection mirror 150 and the polarization conversion element 140 in FIG.
- the polarization conversion element 140 converts the incident light beam having a random polarization component into an s-polarized light beam and emits the light beam.
- the distance L from the central optical path is twice the distance W between the polarization separation film 144 and the reflection film 144.
- the relationship between the distance L and the distance W corresponds to the fact that the polarization separation film 144 and the reflection film 144 are inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the light incident surface. Also, as can be seen from the figure, this relationship is common between the central optical path of the s-polarized light beam shown by the solid line and the central optical path of the s-polarized light beam shown by the one-dot chain line.
- the thickness h of the sub-mirror 1 54 is set to 1 Z 2 which is the distance W between the polarization splitting film 144 and the reflecting film 144.
- the stepped reflecting mirror 150 Since the stepped reflecting mirror 150 is tilted 45 degrees with respect to the system optical axis, after being reflected by the stepped reflecting mirror 150, the X of the central optical path indicated by the solid line and the dashed line is shown. As a result, the four central optical paths are equally spaced at a distance of 1_2 in the X direction.
- the partial luminous flux passing through the liquid crystal light valve 252 at different incident angles is modulated by the liquid crystal light valve 252 and then cross-dichroic prism. Pass through 260. As can be seen from FIG.
- the four center optical paths whose positions are shifted from each other in the stepped reflecting mirror 150 are different in the angle of incidence on the cross dichroic prism 260, and the cross dichroic prism It passes through different positions with respect to the center axis 2 62 of 260.
- the incident angle of the central optical path of the partial light beam to the aperture dichroic prism 260 that is, the transmission through the cross dichroic prism 260 If the angle is different, and if the position of the center optical path of the partial light beam with respect to the center axis 262 of the cross dichroic prism 260 is different, the position where the dark line is formed will also be different. Therefore, the dark lines formed by each of the partial luminous fluxes passing through the M small lenses arranged in the same column direction do not concentrate at one place, and the dark lines can be made inconspicuous.
- the dark line becomes inconspicuous only by employing the stepped reflecting mirror 150 in the illumination optical system having the Integra overnight optical system, but this can be combined with a polarization conversion element.
- the dark line becomes less noticeable. This is because if a stepped reflection mirror 150 is employed in an illumination optical system having an integrator optical system, small lenses arranged in the same column direction position (X-direction position) of the lens arrays 12 0 and 13 0 can be used. Since the center optical path of the partial light beam passing through can be shifted to two different positions in the X direction, the dark line is also distributed to two places.
- the center optical path of the partial luminous flux passing through the small lenses arranged in the same column direction (X direction position) of the lens arrays 120 and 130 will be shifted to four different X direction positions. This is because the dark line is also distributed to four places.
- the thickness h of the submirror 154 is equal to the center optical path of the partial light beam whose position in the z direction is shifted by the stepped reflecting mirror 150 out of the partial light beam passing through the small lenses existing in the same row.
- the distance I between the central light path of the partial light beam and the center light path of the s-polarized light beam emitted through the polarization separation film 144, ⁇ 2 retardation layer 1 46, and the polarization separation film 1 4 4, Reflection ⁇ 1 4 5 What is necessary is just to set it as a value different from the distance L.
- the position and width in the height direction of the two sub-mirrors 154 shown in FIG. 8 are determined so as to correspond to the position where the intensity of the light beam from the light source 110 is large. That is, the light intensity of the partial luminous flux passing through the small lens located at a position away from the center of the height of the lens array 120, 130 by the focal length f of the concave mirror 114, is It is higher than the light intensity of the partial light beam passing through the small lens at the position. Therefore, it is effective to provide the sub-mirror 154 of the stepped reflecting mirror 150 so that the optical axis of the light passing through the region where the partial luminous flux having high light intensity is reflected can be shifted.
- the width (dimension in the height direction) of the sub-mirror 154 may be made larger than the example shown in FIG. Dark lines on the projection screen are more conspicuous when the light intensity is about 95% or less of the light intensity of other parts, and not so much when the light intensity is about 98 to 97% or more. Accordingly, the width of the sub-mirror 154 may be adjusted so that the light amount of the dark line formed by projecting the central axis of the cross dichroic prism 260 is about 98% or more of the light amount of the other portions.
- the stepped reflecting mirror 150 shown in FIG. 8 has a two-stage configuration of the main mirror 152 and the sub mirror 154, a multi-step reflecting mirror of three or more stages is used. It is also possible.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a projection display apparatus 2000 of a second embodiment according to the present invention and a main part of an illumination optical system thereof, and is a view corresponding to FIG. 9 of the first embodiment.
