Definitions

  • FIG. 5 is a graph representing contrast ratio versus light-wavelength spectrum for exemplary image display systems of the present disclosure and comparative image display systems.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of image display system 10 of the present disclosure, which may be used in a variety of display devices, such as mini-projection displays, head-mounted displays, virtual viewers, electronic viewfinders, heads-up displays, optical computing, optical correlation, and other optical viewing systems.
  • System 10 includes illumination source 12, PBS 14, imager 16, projection lens 18, and display screen 20.
  • PBS 14 is configured to reduce the risk of light leaks, thereby enhancing the contrast ratio of the resulting image.
  • Illumination source 12 is a light-emitting diode (LED) light source configured to emit light beam 22 toward PBS 14. While shown in FIG. 1 as a single LED, illumination source may alternatively include a plurality of LEDs to emit light beam 22 or other light sources (e.g., laser diodes, incandescent bulbs, and arc lamps). In one embodiment, illumination source 12 includes LEDs of different colors (e.g., red, green, and blue) and a color combiner (e.g., an x-cube configuration color combiner), where the color combiner combines received colored light beams and directs the resulting light beam 22 toward PBS 14.
  • LEDs of different colors e.g., red, green, and blue
  • a color combiner e.g., an x-cube configuration color combiner
  • Absorptive polarizer 30 is configured to receive the light rays of light beam 22 that transmit through reflective polarizer 28, and is also configured to absorb light rays that are in the s-polarization state. As such, absorptive polarizer 30 functions as a clean-up polarizer that absorbs s-polarized light rays that leak through reflective polarizer 28, while allowing />-polarized light rays to transmit through. Absorptive polarizer 30 can be any dichroic polarizing film known to those of skill in the art, such as those disclosed in Kausch et al, U.S. Patent No. 6,610,356, and Ouderkirk et al, U.S. Patent No. 6,096,375.
  • reflective polarizer 28 and absorptive polarizer 30 to be oriented at incident angles other than 45°, where the incident angle is an angle between a central ray of a light cone forming light beam 22 and the normal to reflective polarizer 28 and absorptive polarizer 30.
  • suitable orientations for reflective polarizer 28 and absorptive polarizer 30 include incident angles with absolute values ranging from about 35° to about 50° relative to a central ray of a light cone forming light beam 22, with particularly suitable orientations including incident angles with absolute values ranging from about 40° to about 45°.
  • the PBS of Example 1 is the same as PBS 14 (shown in FIG. 1, and discussed above), where the reflective polarizer was a multi-layer optical film manufactured under the trade designation "VIKUITI” T-35 advanced polarizing films (APF) from 3 M Company, St. Paul, MN, and the absorptive polarizer was a high-contrast ratio polarizer commercially available under the trade designation "HLC2-2518" from Sanritz Corporation, Tokyo, Japan.
