如在相关技术中所述,对于激光光源产生三色光的方案,由于该光源系统通过将蓝色激光照射至荧光轮以产生三色光,这样提升了对荧光轮的控制要求,且荧光轮产生的三色光的颜色效果较差。对于采用全三色光源系统产生三色光的方案,由于全三色光源系统中激光光源包括的激光器数量的增多,每种颜色的激光器需要分别控制,且每种颜色的激光器通常只能提供固定亮度的激光,因此,最终激光投影设备的显示效果较差。As described in the related art, for the scheme of generating three-color light by the laser light source, since the light source system irradiates the blue laser to the fluorescent wheel to generate the three-color light, the control requirements for the fluorescent wheel are increased, and the fluorescent wheel produces The color effect of trichromatic light is poor. For the scheme that uses a full three-color light source system to generate three-color light, due to the increase in the number of lasers included in the laser light source in the full three-color light source system, each color laser needs to be controlled separately, and each color laser usually only provides a fixed brightness The laser, therefore, the final display effect of laser projection equipment is poor.
请参考图1,其示出了相关技术中一种全三色光源系统的局部结构示意图。如图1所示,该全三色光源系统通常包括激光光源10、两个二向色镜20、反射镜30、聚光透镜40、扩散轮50和光棒60。激光光源10包括用于发出红色激光的红色激光器组件101、用于发出绿色激光的绿色激光器组件102和用于发出蓝色激光的蓝色激光器组件103。其中,红色激光器组件101发出的红色激光可以经过二向色镜201透射至聚光透镜40上。绿色激光器组件102发出的绿色激光可以先经过反射镜30反射至二向色镜202上,然后经过该二向色镜202反射至二向色镜201上,之后经过该二向色镜201反射至聚光透镜40上。蓝色激光器组件103发出的蓝色激光可以经过二向色镜202透 射至二向色镜201上,然后经过该二向色镜201反射至聚光透镜40上。照射至聚光透镜40上的激光经过该聚光透镜40汇聚后,照射至扩散轮50上。照射至扩散轮50上的激光经过扩散轮50的匀光后,照射至光棒60内,在该光棒60的匀光作用下,实现三色光源。其中,对于每个激光器组件来说,可包括至少一个激光器。Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a partial structural diagram of a full three-color light source system in the related art. As shown in FIG. 1, the full three-color light source system generally includes a laser light source 10, two dichroic mirrors 20, a reflecting mirror 30, a condenser lens 40, a diffuser 50 and a light rod 60. The laser light source 10 includes a red laser component 101 for emitting a red laser, a green laser component 102 for emitting a green laser, and a blue laser component 103 for emitting a blue laser. The red laser light emitted by the red laser assembly 101 can be transmitted to the condenser lens 40 through the dichroic mirror 201. The green laser light emitted by the green laser component 102 can be first reflected on the dichroic mirror 202 through the reflecting mirror 30, then reflected on the dichroic mirror 201 through the dichroic mirror 202, and then reflected to the dichroic mirror 201 through the dichroic mirror 201 On the condenser lens 40. The blue laser light emitted by the blue laser component 103 can be transmitted to the dichroic mirror 201 through the dichroic mirror 202, and then reflected to the condenser lens 40 through the dichroic mirror 201. The laser light irradiated on the condenser lens 40 is condensed by the condenser lens 40 and then irradiated on the diffusion wheel 50. The laser light irradiated on the diffuser wheel 50 is irradiated into the light rod 60 after being homogenized by the diffuser wheel 50, and under the uniform light effect of the light rod 60, a three-color light source is realized. Wherein, for each laser assembly, at least one laser may be included.
由于全三色光源系统中每种颜色的激光器(即上述激光器组件)需要分别控制,且每种颜色的激光器通常只能提供固定亮度的激光,因此,最终激光投影设备的显示效果较差。Since the lasers of each color in the full three-color light source system (that is, the above-mentioned laser components) need to be controlled separately, and the lasers of each color can usually only provide lasers with a fixed brightness, the final display effect of the laser projection device is poor.

综上所述,由于激光投影设备中显示控制电路可以生成与多帧显示图像 中的每一帧图像的三个基色一一对应的多个使能信号,将多个使能信号分别传输至对应的激光器驱动电路,以及,生成与每一帧图像的三个基色一一对应的多个电流控制信号,将多个电流控制信号分别传输至对应的激光器驱动电路,每个所述激光器驱动电路可以向其所连接的所述激光器组件提供所述激光器组件对应的驱动电流。由于每个所述激光器组件对应的电流控制信号在对应至少两帧所述显示图像时的大小不同,因此,该激光投影设备可以支持可变亮度的激光器组件,有效提高激光投影设备的显示效果。In summary, because the display control circuit in the laser projection device can generate multiple enable signals corresponding to the three primary colors of each frame of the multi-frame display image, and transmit the multiple enable signals to the corresponding The laser drive circuit for each frame of image, and generates multiple current control signals corresponding to the three primary colors of each frame of image, and transmits the multiple current control signals to the corresponding laser drive circuit, each of the laser drive circuits can The driving current corresponding to the laser component is provided to the laser component to which it is connected. Since the current control signal corresponding to each of the laser components is different in size when corresponding to at least two frames of the displayed image, the laser projection device can support variable-brightness laser components, effectively improving the display effect of the laser projection device.
如图3所示,每个激光器驱动电路00包括:As shown in Fig. 3, each laser driving circuit 00 includes:
驱动芯片01,电压输出电路02和光源开关电路03,光源开关电路03用于与一个激光器组件连接,该激光器组件包括用于发出一种颜色的激光的至少一个激光器。当激光器组件包括多个激光器时,该多个激光器可以串联或并联。在一实施例中,该激光器组件包括7-9个激光器,例如8个激光器。在一实施例中,该激光器组件可以为红色激光器组件、绿色激光器组件或蓝色激光器组件。The driving chip 01, the voltage output circuit 02 and the light source switch circuit 03, the light source switch circuit 03 is used to connect with a laser assembly, and the laser assembly includes at least one laser for emitting laser light of one color. When the laser assembly includes multiple lasers, the multiple lasers may be connected in series or in parallel. In an embodiment, the laser assembly includes 7-9 lasers, for example 8 lasers. In an embodiment, the laser component may be a red laser component, a green laser component or a blue laser component.
驱动芯片01,用于接收与激光器组件对应的电流控制信号,并基于电流控制信号向光源开关电路03提供对应的激光器组件的驱动电流。比如,电流控制信号可以为脉冲宽度调制(PWM,Pulse Width Modulation),PWM信号是一系列幅值相等的脉冲信号组成的信号,PWM值是在一个驱动周期内,开关管导通时长相加的平均值。导通时间越长,则直流输出的平均值越大;PWM频率是一个周期内,导通时长与驱动周期的时长的一个比值,也称作占空比。The driving chip 01 is configured to receive a current control signal corresponding to the laser component, and provide the corresponding drive current of the laser component to the light source switch circuit 03 based on the current control signal. For example, the current control signal can be Pulse Width Modulation (PWM, Pulse Width Modulation). The PWM signal is a signal composed of a series of pulse signals with equal amplitude. The PWM value is added to the duration of the switching tube during a driving cycle. average value. The longer the on-time, the larger the average value of the DC output; the PWM frequency is a ratio of the on-time to the driving period in a cycle, also known as the duty cycle.

The rated voltage of the laser component is the voltage required for the normal operation of the laser component, also called the nominal voltage.
光源开关电路03,用于在开关控制信号为有效电位时导通,在额定电压下向其所连接的激光器组件提供激光器组件对应的驱动电流。The light source switch circuit 03 is used to turn on when the switch control signal is at an effective potential, and provide a driving current corresponding to the laser component to the laser component connected to it under the rated voltage.
示例的,如图4所示,驱动芯片01包括第一引脚ENOUT,第二引脚ISN,以及第三引脚ISP,第一引脚ENOUT用于输出开关控制信号,光源开关电路03包括:电流检测电阻R5和第一开关晶体管Q1。该开关控制信号用于控制光源开关电路的导通与关断,使得光源开关电路驱动对应的激光器组件点亮的时长。For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the driving chip 01 includes a first pin ENOUT, a second pin ISN, and a third pin ISP. The first pin ENOUT is used to output a switch control signal, and the light source switch circuit 03 includes: The current detection resistor R5 and the first switching transistor Q1. The switch control signal is used to control the on and off of the light source switch circuit, so that the light source switch circuit drives the corresponding laser component to light up.
电流检测电阻R5的一端与电压输出电路(图4未示出)的额定电压的输出端以及第二引脚ISN分别连接,另一端与激光器组件的正极以及第三引脚ISP分别连接,图4中假设电流检测电阻R5的一端的电压为额定电压Vo,另一端的电压为输出电压Vout,第一开关晶体管Q1的源极S1与激光器组件的负极连接,第一开关晶体管Q1的栅极G1与第一引脚ENOUT连接,第一开关晶体管的漏极D1与第一信号输出端O1连接,该第一信号输出端O1用于输出低于第一开关晶体管的漏极D1的电平的电平信号,图4以第一开关晶体管的漏极D1接地为例进行说明,也即是第一信号输出端O1为参考地。当光源开关电路03导通时,形成电流回路h1。需要说明是,图4中假设激光器组件包括串联的n个激光器,分别为激光器LD1至LDn。该激光器LD1至LDn不属于光源开关电路03。在一实施例中,该第一开关晶体管Q1可以为N型金属氧化物半导体(N-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor,NMOS)管。One end of the current detection resistor R5 is connected to the rated voltage output end of the voltage output circuit (not shown in Figure 4) and the second pin ISN, and the other end is connected to the positive electrode of the laser assembly and the third pin ISP, Figure 4 It is assumed that the voltage at one end of the current detection resistor R5 is the rated voltage Vo, and the voltage at the other end is the output voltage Vout, the source S1 of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the cathode of the laser component, and the gate G1 of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to The first pin ENOUT is connected, the drain D1 of the first switching transistor is connected to the first signal output terminal O1, and the first signal output terminal O1 is used to output a level lower than the level of the drain D1 of the first switching transistor For the signal, FIG. 4 takes the grounding of the drain D1 of the first switching transistor as an example for illustration, that is, the first signal output terminal O1 is used as the reference ground. When the light source switch circuit 03 is turned on, a current loop h1 is formed. It should be noted that, in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the laser assembly includes n lasers connected in series, namely lasers LD1 to LDn. The lasers LD1 to LDn do not belong to the light source switch circuit 03. In an embodiment, the first switching transistor Q1 may be an N-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (NMOS) tube.
其中,驱动芯片01用于通过第二引脚ISN和第三引脚ISP检测电流检测电阻R5上加载的电流,并将电流检测电阻R5上加载的电流调整至对应的激光器组件的驱动电流。请参考图4,该电流I=(Vo-Vout)/R,其中,R表示电阻R5的阻值,I表示流经电流检测电阻R5的电流。Wherein, the driving chip 01 is used to detect the current loaded on the current detection resistor R5 through the second pin ISN and the third pin ISP, and adjust the current loaded on the current detection resistor R5 to the driving current of the corresponding laser component. Please refer to FIG. 4, the current I=(Vo-Vout)/R, where R represents the resistance of the resistor R5, and I represents the current flowing through the current detection resistor R5.
值得说明的是,驱动芯片01可以通过多种方式确定激光器组件对应的驱动电流(即驱动电流的值)。在一种实施方式中,驱动芯片01在接收到电流控制信号后通过第一预设算法,计算激光器组件对应驱动电流的值;在另一种实施方式中,驱动芯片01预存有电流控制信号与电流的对应关系,驱动芯片01在接收到电流控制信号后,通过查询该对应关系即可得到相应的驱动电流。示例的,当电流控制信号为PWM信号时,该电流控制信号与电流的对应关系可以由PWM值与电流对应关系表征。请参考表1和图5,为了便于读者理解,表1示出了PWM值、电流与亮度的对应关系表(实际应用中,驱动芯片01只需预存PWM值与电流的对应关系),图5是该对应关系表所对 应的电流与亮度的关系曲线图。由图5可以看出,电流和亮度存在线性关系,通常电流越大,亮度越大,因此通过调节激光器组件的电流可以有效调节激光器组件的亮度。示例的,当接收到的PWM信号的PWM值为1023时,查询表1得到的驱动电流为2.6A(安),则将电流检测电阻R5上加载的电流调整为2.6A。最终激光器组件的亮度为2540lumen(流明)。It is worth noting that the driving chip 01 can determine the driving current (that is, the value of the driving current) corresponding to the laser assembly in various ways. In one embodiment, the driving chip 01 uses the first preset algorithm to calculate the value of the driving current corresponding to the laser component after receiving the current control signal; in another embodiment, the driving chip 01 prestores the current control signal and For the corresponding relationship of the current, after the drive chip 01 receives the current control signal, the corresponding drive current can be obtained by querying the corresponding relationship. For example, when the current control signal is a PWM signal, the corresponding relationship between the current control signal and the current may be characterized by the corresponding relationship between the PWM value and the current. Please refer to Table 1 and Figure 5. In order to facilitate readers’ understanding, Table 1 shows the corresponding relationship between PWM value, current and brightness (in actual applications, the driver chip 01 only needs to pre-store the corresponding relationship between PWM value and current), Figure 5 It is a graph of the relationship between current and brightness corresponding to the correspondence table. It can be seen from Figure 5 that there is a linear relationship between current and brightness. Generally, the greater the current, the greater the brightness. Therefore, the brightness of the laser assembly can be effectively adjusted by adjusting the current of the laser assembly. For example, when the PWM value of the received PWM signal is 1023, the drive current obtained by looking up the table 1 is 2.6A (A), then the current loaded on the current detection resistor R5 is adjusted to 2.6A. The brightness of the final laser assembly is 2540lumen (lumens).

如前所述,电流控制信号可以为PWM信号,PWM信号在传输过程中会产生一定的衰减,衰减导致PWM信号的幅值(也称高电平幅值)低于有效 设置的满量程幅值。本申请实施例提供一种中继器,可以不改变PWM信号的占空比,将接收到的幅值低于满量程幅值的PWM信号,调整为幅值为满量程幅值的PWM信号,这样避免信号传输所导致的信号衰减,保证输入驱动芯片的电流控制信号的准确性,提高后续驱动精度。As mentioned earlier, the current control signal can be a PWM signal. The PWM signal will have a certain attenuation during transmission. The attenuation causes the amplitude of the PWM signal (also known as the high level amplitude) to be lower than the effectively set full-scale amplitude. . The embodiment of the application provides a repeater, which can adjust the received PWM signal whose amplitude is lower than the full-scale amplitude to a PWM signal whose amplitude is the full-scale amplitude without changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal. In this way, the signal attenuation caused by signal transmission is avoided, the accuracy of the current control signal input to the driving chip is ensured, and the subsequent driving accuracy is improved.
如图6所示,当电流控制信号为PWM信号时,激光器驱动电路00还包括:As shown in FIG. 6, when the current control signal is a PWM signal, the laser driving circuit 00 further includes:
中继器04,中继器04与驱动芯片01连接,其位于驱动芯片01的前端,中继器04用于接收与激光器组件对应的电流控制信号,并将幅值等于额定的幅值电压VCC的电流控制信号输出至驱动芯片01。 Repeater 04. Repeater 04 is connected to driver chip 01, which is located at the front end of driver chip 01. Repeater 04 is used to receive the current control signal corresponding to the laser component and set the amplitude equal to the rated amplitude voltage VCC The current control signal is output to the driver chip 01.
示例的,如图7所示,中继器04包括:For example, as shown in Figure 7, the repeater 04 includes:
第一电阻R1、第二电阻R2和运算放大器(也称运放器)P,其中,第一电阻R1和第二电阻R2的阻值相等,运算放大器P的同相输入端(也称非倒向输入端)u+分别与第一电阻R1的一端连接,第一电阻R1的一端为电流控制信号的输入端,运算放大器P的反相输入端(也称倒向输入端)u-与第二电阻R2的一端连接,运算放大器P的输出端(也称公共端)o与第二电阻R2的另一端连接,运算放大器P的输出端o还与驱动芯片连接,该运算放大器P的额定电压(也称工作电压)为幅值电压VCC。运算放大器P的接地端与第二信号输出端O2连接,该第二信号输出端O2用于提供低于幅值电压VCC的电平信号,通常情况下,该第二信号输出端O2为参考地。The first resistor R1, the second resistor R2 and the operational amplifier (also called the operational amplifier) P, where the resistance of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are equal, and the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier P (also called non-inverting The input terminal) u+ is respectively connected to one end of the first resistor R1, one end of the first resistor R1 is the input terminal of the current control signal, the inverting input terminal (also called the inverted input terminal) u- and the second resistor of the operational amplifier P One end of R2 is connected, the output end of the operational amplifier P (also called the common end) o is connected to the other end of the second resistor R2, and the output end o of the operational amplifier P is also connected to the driver chip. The rated voltage of the operational amplifier P (also Called the working voltage) is the amplitude voltage VCC. The ground terminal of the operational amplifier P is connected to the second signal output terminal O2, and the second signal output terminal O2 is used to provide a level signal lower than the amplitude voltage VCC. Normally, the second signal output terminal O2 is the reference ground .
本申请实施例在实际实现时,由于中继器和驱动芯片的额定电压可能不同,因此,运算放大器P的输出端o与第三信号输出端O3之间还串联有第三电阻R3和第四电阻R4,第三信号输出端O3用于提供低于输出端o的电平的电平信号,例如该第三信号输出端O3接地。第三电阻R3和第四电阻R4为分压电阻,第三电阻R3和第四电阻R4之间的节点e用于输出分压处理后的电流控制信号,该节点e输出的电压为驱动芯片的额定电压。第三电阻R3和第四电阻R4的阻值根据中继器和驱动芯片的额定电压设置。In the actual implementation of the embodiment of the present application, since the rated voltages of the repeater and the driving chip may be different, a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R3 are connected in series between the output terminal o of the operational amplifier P and the third signal output terminal O3. The resistor R4 and the third signal output terminal O3 are used to provide a level signal lower than that of the output terminal o, for example, the third signal output terminal O3 is grounded. The third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are voltage dividing resistors, the node e between the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 is used to output the current control signal after the voltage dividing process, and the voltage output by the node e is the driving chip Rated voltage. The resistance values of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are set according to the rated voltage of the repeater and the driving chip.
如图8所示,由于第一电阻R1与第二电阻R2的阻值相等,PWM信号经过运算放大器P之后,不会改变PWM信号的占空比,但会使PWM信号幅值由低于幅值电压VCC调整为等于幅值电压VCC,也即是满量程,因此可以保证处理后的电流控制信号相对于初始生成的电流控制信号无衰减。As shown in Figure 8, since the resistance values of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are equal, after the PWM signal passes through the operational amplifier P, the duty cycle of the PWM signal will not change, but the amplitude of the PWM signal will be lower than the amplitude. The value voltage VCC is adjusted to be equal to the amplitude voltage VCC, that is, the full range, so it can be ensured that the processed current control signal has no attenuation relative to the initially generated current control signal.
并且,由于中继器具有输入阻抗高,输出阻抗低的特点。在一定程度上可以避免由于输出阻抗较高,而下一级输入阻抗较小时产生的信号损耗,起到承上启下的作用,也即是缓冲作用。由于中继器具有输入阻抗高,输出阻抗低的特点,使得它对上一级电路呈现高阻状态,而对下一级电路呈现低阻状态,常用于中间级,以隔离前后级电路,消除它们之间的相互影响。在本申请实施例中,中继器可以隔离驱动芯片前端的电路(例如显示控制电路)产生的各种噪声,因此可以提高激光器驱动电路的精度。Moreover, because the repeater has the characteristics of high input impedance and low output impedance. To a certain extent, it can avoid the signal loss caused by the higher output impedance and the lower input impedance of the next stage, which plays a role of linking up and down, that is, buffering. Since the repeater has the characteristics of high input impedance and low output impedance, it presents a high-impedance state to the upper-level circuit and a low-impedance state to the next-level circuit. It is often used in the intermediate stage to isolate the front and back circuits and eliminate The mutual influence between them. In the embodiment of the present application, the repeater can isolate various noises generated by the circuit (for example, the display control circuit) driving the front end of the chip, so the accuracy of the laser driving circuit can be improved.
在不同的应用场景中,前述电压输出电路02按工作模式的不同,可以为升压电路,也可以为降压电路。升压电路是把输入电压Vi升高到激光器组件的额定电压Vo的电路,Vi<Vo,降压电路是把输入电压Vi降低到激光器组件的额定电压Vo的电路,Vi>Vo。由于升压电路的初始输入电压Vi相对于降压电路较低,若该升压电路出现短路等故障,该较低的初始输入电压Vi没有超出激光器组件的额定电压Vo,不会引起激光器组件的损伤,也不会引起人体的触电风险。因此,升压电路相对于降压电路对设备损伤的可能性较低,安全性较高。In different application scenarios, the aforementioned voltage output circuit 02 can be a boost circuit or a step-down circuit according to different working modes. The boost circuit is a circuit that raises the input voltage Vi to the rated voltage Vo of the laser component, Vi<Vo, and the step-down circuit is a circuit that reduces the input voltage Vi to the rated voltage Vo of the laser component, Vi>Vo. Since the initial input voltage Vi of the boost circuit is lower than that of the buck circuit, if the boost circuit has a short circuit and other faults, the lower initial input voltage Vi does not exceed the rated voltage Vo of the laser component, and will not cause damage to the laser component. It will not cause the risk of electric shock to the human body. Therefore, compared with the step-down circuit, the booster circuit is less likely to damage the equipment, and the safety is higher.
示例的,当该电压输出电路02为升压电路时,该升压电路用于将输入电压升压Vi至激光器组件的额定电压Vo,并为光源开关电路03加载该额定电压Vo。For example, when the voltage output circuit 02 is a booster circuit, the booster circuit is used to boost the input voltage Vi to the rated voltage Vo of the laser component, and load the rated voltage Vo for the light source switch circuit 03.

One end of the inductor L and the input voltage The supply terminal a is connected to the anode of the diode D and the source S2 of the second switching transistor Q2. The cathode of the diode D is the output terminal of the rated voltage Vo, and one end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the output terminal of the rated voltage Vo , The other end is connected to the fourth signal output terminal O4, and the fourth signal output terminal O4 is used to output a level signal lower than the rated voltage. FIG. 9 takes the grounding of the other end of the capacitor C1 as an example for illustration, that is, the fourth signal output terminal O4 is the reference ground. The fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7 are connected in series between the rated voltage output terminal and the fifth signal output terminal O5. The fifth signal output terminal O5 is used to output a level signal lower than the rated voltage. R6 and the sixth resistor R7 are connected in series between the output terminal of the rated voltage and the ground as an example, that is, the fifth signal output terminal O5 is the reference ground. The seventh resistor R8 is connected in series between the drain D2 of the second switching transistor Q2 and the sixth signal output terminal O6. The sixth signal output terminal O6 is used to output a signal with a level lower than the voltage of the drain D2. The seven resistor R8 is connected in series between the drain D2 of the second switching transistor Q2 and the ground as an example for description, that is, the sixth signal output terminal O6 is the reference ground.
在前述升压电路中,可以通过第五电阻R6和第六电阻R7之间的节点b,以及第五电阻R6和第六电阻R7设置额定电压Vo,其中,额定电压

Figure PCTCN2019101759-appb-000003
Vb为节点b处的参考电压。由于激光器组件的额定电压通常恒定,因此,第五电阻R6和第六电阻R7之间的节点b的参考电压Vb,以及第五电阻R6和第六电阻R7通常恒定,也即是在设置之后不变。
In the aforementioned boost circuit, the rated voltage Vo can be set through the node b between the fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7, and the fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7, where the rated voltage

Figure PCTCN2019101759-appb-000003
Vb is the reference voltage at node b. Since the rated voltage of the laser component is usually constant, the reference voltage Vb of the node b between the fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7, and the fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7 are usually constant, that is, the reference voltage Vb is not constant after the setting. change.
该升压电路分为两个工作过程,分别为充电过程和放电过程,在这两个工作过程中,该升压电路的工作原理如下:The boost circuit is divided into two working processes, namely the charging process and the discharging process. In these two working processes, the working principle of the boost circuit is as follows:
充电过程:第二开关晶体管Q2导通,输入电压Vi持续给电感L储能,电感L上的电流线性增加,同时,二极管D反向截止,阻止电容C1的电压对第四信号输出端O4放电(当第四信号输出端O4为参考地时,即对地放电),因此直流电不断给电感L充电储能,形成电流回路h2。Charging process: the second switching transistor Q2 is turned on, the input voltage Vi continues to store energy in the inductor L, the current on the inductor L increases linearly, and at the same time, the diode D is reversely blocked to prevent the voltage of the capacitor C1 from discharging the fourth signal output terminal O4 (When the fourth signal output terminal O4 is the reference ground, that is, it discharges to the ground), so the direct current continuously charges the inductor L and stores energy, forming a current loop h2.
放电过程:第二开关晶体管Q2关断,相当于上述电流回路h2断路,由于电感L的电流不能发生突变,流经电感L的电流缓慢放电直到为0。由于电流回路h2电路已断开,电感L只能通过二极管D给电容C1充电,使电容C1的电动势不断升高,形成电流回路h3。Discharge process: the second switching transistor Q2 is turned off, which is equivalent to the above-mentioned current loop h2 being open. Since the current of the inductor L cannot undergo abrupt changes, the current flowing through the inductor L is slowly discharged until it reaches zero. Since the circuit of the current loop h2 has been disconnected, the inductor L can only charge the capacitor C1 through the diode D, so that the electromotive force of the capacitor C1 is continuously increased, forming a current loop h3.
通过控制第二开关晶体管Q2的栅极G2,使得第二开关晶体管Q2以一定频率不断开启和关断,控制升压电路不断进行充放电,使电容C1两端的电压不断升高直到达到设置的额定电压Vo,从而完成升压电路的升压。By controlling the gate G2 of the second switching transistor Q2, the second switching transistor Q2 is continuously turned on and off at a certain frequency, and the boost circuit is controlled to continuously charge and discharge, so that the voltage across the capacitor C1 continues to rise until it reaches the set rating Voltage Vo, thereby completing the boost of the boost circuit.
示例的,该第二开关晶体管Q2可以为NMOS管。当栅极G2输入的电平信号相对于源极S2的电平信号为高电平时,NMOS管导通,当栅极G2输入的电平信号相对于源极S2的电平信号为低电平时,NMOS管关断。For example, the second switch transistor Q2 may be an NMOS transistor. When the level signal input from the gate G2 is high relative to the level signal of the source S2, the NMOS tube is turned on, when the level signal input from the gate G2 is low relative to the level signal of the source S2 , NMOS tube is turned off.
值得说明的是,前述对第二开关晶体管Q2开启和关断的控制,和/或,对第五电阻R6和第六电阻R7之间的节点b的参考电压Vb的设置可以采用单独的控制芯片或控制电路进行控制,也可以由驱动芯片进行控制。图9假设由驱动芯片01控制第二开关晶体管Q2的开启和关断,以及,设置第五电阻R6和第六电阻R7之间的节点b的参考电压Vb。It is worth noting that the aforementioned control of the turning on and off of the second switching transistor Q2, and/or the setting of the reference voltage Vb of the node b between the fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7 may use a separate control chip Or the control circuit can control it, or it can be controlled by the driver chip. FIG. 9 assumes that the driving chip 01 controls the turning on and off of the second switching transistor Q2, and setting the reference voltage Vb of the node b between the fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7.
如图10所示,驱动芯片01还包括第四引脚FB,第五引脚GATE,以及第六引脚SENSE,其中,第四引脚FB与节点b连接,该第四引脚FB用于 为节点b提供参考电压Vb;第五引脚GATE与第二开关晶体管Q2的栅极G2连接,该第五引脚GATE用于控制第二开关晶体管Q2开启和关断;第六引脚SENSE与节点c连接,该节点c位于第二开关晶体管Q2的漏极D2和第七电阻R8之间。As shown in FIG. 10, the driving chip 01 also includes a fourth pin FB, a fifth pin GATE, and a sixth pin SENSE. The fourth pin FB is connected to the node b, and the fourth pin FB is used for A reference voltage Vb is provided for node b; the fifth pin GATE is connected to the gate G2 of the second switching transistor Q2, and the fifth pin GATE is used to control the turning on and off of the second switching transistor Q2; the sixth pin SENSE is connected to The node c is connected, and the node c is located between the drain D2 of the second switching transistor Q2 and the seventh resistor R8.
第五引脚GATE和第六引脚SENSE可以组成过电流保护电路。该第六引脚SENSE用于通过检测漏极D2和第七电阻R8之间的电压来采集升压电路的电流,当采集的电流大于设定的电流上限阈值时,驱动芯片会控制第五引脚GATE关断此升压电路的电流回路。从而基于采集的电流来实现升压电路的过电流保护。The fifth pin GATE and the sixth pin SENSE can form an overcurrent protection circuit. The sixth pin SENSE is used to collect the current of the boost circuit by detecting the voltage between the drain D2 and the seventh resistor R8. When the collected current is greater than the set current upper threshold, the driver chip will control the fifth pin Pin GATE turns off the current loop of the boost circuit. In this way, the overcurrent protection of the boost circuit is realized based on the collected current.
相应的,参考图10,该升压电路的工作原理如下:Correspondingly, referring to Figure 10, the working principle of the boost circuit is as follows:
充电过程:驱动芯片01通过第五引脚GATE控制第二开关晶体管Q2导通,输入电压Vi持续给电感L储能,电感L上的电流线性增加,同时,二极管D反向截止,直流电不断给电感L充电储能,形成电流回路h2。Charging process: The driving chip 01 controls the second switching transistor Q2 to turn on through the fifth pin GATE, the input voltage Vi continues to store energy in the inductor L, and the current on the inductor L increases linearly. At the same time, the diode D is reversely cut off, and the direct current is continuously supplied The inductor L charges and stores energy to form a current loop h2.
放电过程:驱动芯片01通过第五引脚GATE控制第二开关晶体管Q2关断,流经电感L的电流缓慢放电直到为0。电容C1的电动势不断升高,形成电流回路h3。Discharge process: The driving chip 01 controls the second switching transistor Q2 to be turned off through the fifth pin GATE, and the current flowing through the inductor L is slowly discharged until it is zero. The electromotive force of the capacitor C1 continues to rise, forming a current loop h3.
驱动芯片01通过第四引脚FB为节点b提供参考电压Vb,从而设置额定电压Vo,然后通过控制第二开关晶体管Q2的栅极G2,使得第二开关晶体管Q2以一定频率不断开启和关断,控制升压电路不断进行充放电,使电容C1两端的电压不断升高直到达到设置的额定电压Vo,从而完成升压电路的升压。The driver chip 01 provides the reference voltage Vb for the node b through the fourth pin FB, thereby setting the rated voltage Vo, and then controls the gate G2 of the second switching transistor Q2, so that the second switching transistor Q2 is continuously turned on and off at a certain frequency , Control the boost circuit to continuously charge and discharge, so that the voltage across the capacitor C1 continues to rise until it reaches the set rated voltage Vo, thereby completing the boost of the boost circuit.
示例的,驱动芯片01可以以100kHz(千赫兹)以上的频率对第二开关晶体管Q2进行开启和关断控制,也即是开关频率大于或等于100kHz。这种开关频率可以最大限度地缩减分立元件,如电感、二极管等的尺寸,并保持了的较高的驱动效率,使所产生的分立元件温升较小,热量更容易控制,避免驱动电路过热。For example, the driving chip 01 can perform turn-on and turn-off control of the second switching transistor Q2 at a frequency above 100 kHz (kilohertz), that is, the switching frequency is greater than or equal to 100 kHz. This switching frequency can minimize the size of discrete components, such as inductors, diodes, etc., and maintain a high driving efficiency, so that the temperature rise of the discrete components is smaller, the heat is easier to control, and the drive circuit is prevented from overheating. .

为了便于理解,下面以图11为例对激光器驱动电路进行说明:驱动芯片01通过第七引脚CTRL接收中继器04传输的电流控制信号后,基于电流控制信号,向光源开关电路03提供激光器组件对应的驱动电流。驱动芯片01通过第八引脚EN接收与激光器组件对应的使能信号,并基于使能信号控制光源开关电路03通过开关控制信号驱动对应的激光器组件点亮的时长;电压输出电路02,用于为光源开关电路03提供激光器组件的额定电压Vo;光源开关电路03,用于在开关控制信号为有效电位时导通,在额定电压Vo下向其所连接的激光器组件提供激光器组件对应的驱动电流。图11中各个元件的具体工作过程可以参考前述实施例,在此不再赘述。For ease of understanding, the laser driving circuit is described below by taking Figure 11 as an example: after the driving chip 01 receives the current control signal transmitted by the repeater 04 through the seventh pin CTRL, it provides the laser to the light source switch circuit 03 based on the current control signal The drive current corresponding to the component.

For the specific working process of each element in FIG. 11, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
在本申请实施例中,驱动芯片01可以采用多种方式来进行电流的调节(即电流值的调节),结合前述实施例,本申请实施例以以下两种可选方式为例进行说明:In the embodiment of the present application, the driving chip 01 can use multiple methods to adjust the current (that is, the adjustment of the current value). With reference to the foregoing embodiment, the embodiment of the present application uses the following two optional methods as examples for description:
在第一种实施方式中,通过调节驱动芯片发送的电流控制信号(例如前述主控制器发送的电流控制信号)的值来实现电流的调节。例如,电流控制信号为PWM信号时,通过调整该PWM信号的PWM值可以进行电流值的调节。则驱动芯片用于调节电流控制信号的值,以将电流检测电阻上加载的电流调整至对应的激光器组件的驱动电流。In the first embodiment, the current adjustment is achieved by adjusting the value of the current control signal sent by the driving chip (for example, the current control signal sent by the aforementioned main controller). For example, when the current control signal is a PWM signal, the current value can be adjusted by adjusting the PWM value of the PWM signal. The driving chip is used to adjust the value of the current control signal to adjust the current loaded on the current detection resistor to the driving current of the corresponding laser component.
请参考图4,激光器组件的驱动电流I=(VCTRL-100mV)/(R*10),其中,R为电阻R5的阻值,VCTRL为PWM信号的平均电压幅值,即前述第七引脚CTRL接收的信号的平均电压幅值,在电阻R5的阻值不变的情况下,电流I的调节是通过PWM信号的平均电压幅值VCTRL调节的,激光器组件的驱动电流I与第七引脚CTRL接收的信号的平均电压幅值VCTRL(当激光器驱动电路00包括该中继器04时,VCTRL为PWM信号经过中继器04输出 的平均电压幅值;当激光器驱动电路00不包括该中继器04时,VCTRL为PWM信号的平均电压幅值)成正比,驱动电流随着每帧图像中每个像素亮度值对应的电流变化,快速响应每帧图像的像素的灰阶值的变化。Please refer to Figure 4, the driving current of the laser component I=(VCTRL-100mV)/(R*10), where R is the resistance of resistor R5, and VCTRL is the average voltage amplitude of the PWM signal, that is, the seventh pin mentioned above The average voltage amplitude of the signal received by CTRL. When the resistance of the resistor R5 remains unchanged, the adjustment of the current I is adjusted by the average voltage amplitude of the PWM signal VCTRL. The driving current I of the laser component is related to the seventh pin. The average voltage amplitude of the signal received by CTRL VCTRL (when the laser drive circuit 00 includes the repeater 04, VCTRL is the average voltage amplitude output by the PWM signal through the repeater 04; when the laser drive circuit 00 does not include the repeater 04 When VCTRL is the average voltage amplitude of the PWM signal, the driving current changes with the current corresponding to the brightness value of each pixel in each frame of image, and quickly responds to the change of the grayscale value of the pixel of each frame of image.
在第二种实施方式中,电流检测电阻R5为可调电阻,驱动芯片用于调节电阻检测电阻R5的阻值,以将电流检测电阻R5上加载的电流调整至对应的激光器组件的驱动电流。值得说明的是,该电流检测电阻R5可以包括一个或多个电阻,当其包括多个电阻时,该多个电阻可以串联或并联,该电流检测电阻R5还可以为采用其他元器件或电路实现的等效电阻,本申请实施例对此不做限定。In the second embodiment, the current detection resistor R5 is an adjustable resistor, and the driving chip is used to adjust the resistance value of the resistance detection resistor R5 to adjust the current loaded on the current detection resistor R5 to the corresponding driving current of the laser component. It is worth noting that the current detecting resistor R5 may include one or more resistors. When it includes multiple resistors, the multiple resistors may be connected in series or in parallel. The current detecting resistor R5 may also be implemented by other components or circuits. The equivalent resistance is not limited in the embodiment of this application.
前述驱动芯片01还可以采用其他方式来进行电流的调节,例如,将上述两种实现方式结合,则电流检测电阻R5为可调电阻,驱动芯片通过同步调整电流控制信号的值,以及调节电阻检测电阻R5的阻值,以将电流检测电阻R5的电流调整至对应的激光器组件的驱动电流。The aforementioned drive chip 01 can also use other methods to adjust the current. For example, combining the above two implementation methods, the current detection resistor R5 is an adjustable resistor, and the drive chip adjusts the value of the current control signal synchronously, and adjusts the resistance detection. The resistance of the resistor R5 is used to adjust the current of the current detection resistor R5 to the driving current of the corresponding laser component.
在激光投影设备中,显示控制电路会生成与三个基色一一对应的多个电流控制信号,例如三个基色为红色、绿色和蓝色,则显示控制电路会生成红色电流控制信号、绿色电流控制信号和蓝色电流控制信号,相应的,红色激光器组件、绿色激光器组件和蓝色激光器组件在一个驱动周期内时序点亮。以图10为红色激光器组件的激光器驱动电路为例,假设一帧每一帧图像的驱动周期为T,高电平为有效电位,红色激光器组件在一个驱动周期T内的导通时长(即点亮时长)为t,则红色激光器组件的使能信号在一个驱动周期T内的高电平时长为t,此使能信号输入到驱动芯片01的使能引脚(即前述第八引脚)EN,通过第一引脚ENOUT控制光源开关电路的通断,以此来实现对红色激光器组件的点亮和熄灭。当第一引脚ENOUT为高电平时,第一开关晶体管Q1导通,光源开关电路导通正常工作,红色激光器组件的点亮时长为t,当第一引脚ENOUT为低电平时,第一开关晶体管Q1关断,光源开关电路不导通,红色激光器组件不工作,则红色激光器组件熄灭的时长为T-t。进一步的,通过控制第一开关晶体管Q1的开启和关断,还可以实现开关控制电路的自我保护,例如进行过电流保护。In laser projection equipment, the display control circuit generates multiple current control signals corresponding to the three primary colors one-to-one. For example, if the three primary colors are red, green, and blue, the display control circuit generates a red current control signal and a green current. The control signal and the blue current control signal, correspondingly, the red laser component, the green laser component, and the blue laser component light up sequentially in one driving cycle. Take the laser driving circuit of the red laser component in Figure 10 as an example. Assuming that the driving period of each frame of image in one frame is T, and the high level is the effective potential, the turn-on time of the red laser component in a driving period T (ie point Light duration) is t, then the high level duration of the enable signal of the red laser component in a driving period T is t, and the enable signal is input to the enable pin of the driver chip 01 (ie the aforementioned eighth pin) EN, through the first pin ENOUT to control the on and off of the light source switch circuit, so as to realize the lighting and extinction of the red laser component. When the first pin ENOUT is at a high level, the first switch transistor Q1 is turned on, and the light source switch circuit is turned on and works normally. The lighting time of the red laser component is t. When the first pin ENOUT is at a low level, the first The switching transistor Q1 is turned off, the light source switching circuit is not turned on, and the red laser component does not work, the time for which the red laser component is extinguished is Tt. Further, by controlling the on and off of the first switch transistor Q1, self-protection of the switch control circuit, such as over-current protection, can also be realized.
在光源开关电路03中,当第一开关晶体管Q1为MOS管,例如NMOS管时,光源开关电路的通断时间达到ns(纳秒)级,激光器驱动电路的通断 时间达到μs(微秒)级,从而使激光器组件的电流响应速度快,精度高,大电流和低纹波,减少了多种基色光由于激光器驱动电路反应速度慢导致的混色严重的画质问题。In the light source switch circuit 03, when the first switch transistor Q1 is a MOS tube, such as an NMOS tube, the on-off time of the light source switch circuit reaches ns (nanosecond) level, and the on-off time of the laser drive circuit reaches μs (microsecond) Level, so that the current response speed of the laser component is fast, the accuracy is high, the high current and the low ripple are reduced, and the serious image quality problem of the color mixing caused by the slow response speed of the laser driving circuit is reduced.
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的激光器驱动电路,由于激光投影设备中显示控制电路可以生成与多帧显示图像中的每一帧图像的三个基色一一对应的多个使能信号,将多个使能信号分别传输至对应的激光器驱动电路,以及,生成与每一帧图像的三个基色一一对应的多个电流控制信号,将多个电流控制信号分别传输至对应的激光器驱动电路,每个所述激光器驱动电路可以向其所连接的所述激光器组件提供所述激光器组件对应的驱动电流。由于每个所述激光器组件对应的电流控制信号在对应至少两帧所述显示图像时的大小不同,因此,该激光投影设备可以支持可变亮度的激光器组件,有效提高激光投影设备的显示效果。In summary, in the laser drive circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application, since the display control circuit in the laser projection device can generate multiple enable signals corresponding to the three primary colors of each frame of the multi-frame display image, Transmit multiple enable signals to the corresponding laser drive circuits, and generate multiple current control signals corresponding to the three primary colors of each frame of image, and transmit multiple current control signals to the corresponding laser drive. Circuit, each of the laser drive circuits can provide the laser assembly to which it is connected with a drive current corresponding to the laser assembly. Since the current control signal corresponding to each of the laser components is different in size when corresponding to at least two frames of the displayed image, the laser projection device can support variable-brightness laser components, effectively improving the display effect of the laser projection device.
随着社会的发展,人们对激光投影设备的显示效果要求越来越高,因此也对影响显示效果的一系列参数(例如,对比度)有了更高的要求。其中,激光投影设备的对比度通常分为静态对比度和动态对比度。静态对比度通常指的是采用美国国家标准学会(American national standards institute,ANSI)制定的对比度算法计算得到对比度,其指的是一张图片(即同一帧图像)中白色区域的亮度与黑色区域的亮度比。With the development of society, people have higher and higher requirements for the display effect of laser projection equipment, and therefore have higher requirements for a series of parameters that affect the display effect (for example, contrast). Among them, the contrast of laser projection equipment is usually divided into static contrast and dynamic contrast. Static contrast usually refers to the contrast calculated by the contrast algorithm formulated by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which refers to the brightness of the white area and the black area in a picture (that is, the same frame of image) ratio.
动态对比度指的是同一帧图像在显示过程中的明暗比,其与显示过程中激光光源的亮度相关,也即是该一帧图像在显示过程中最亮的白色区域与最暗的黑色区域的亮度比。例如公式(1)所示,动态对比度C满足:Dynamic contrast refers to the light-dark ratio of the same frame of image during the display process, which is related to the brightness of the laser light source during the display process, that is, the brightest white area and the darkest black area of the image during the display process. Brightness ratio. For example, as shown in formula (1), the dynamic contrast C satisfies:
Figure PCTCN2019101759-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2019101759-appb-000004
Lw为该一帧图像在显示过程中最亮的白色区域的亮度,L B为该一帧图像在显示过程中最暗的黑色区域的亮度。 Luminance Lw for an image display during the brightest white region, L B luminance for an image display during the black region darkest.
通过上述动态对比度的公式可知,当Lw达到最大值时,可以通过降低L B的值,提高动态对比度。其中,激光投影设备的图像的实际显示亮度通常由两个因素决定,一个因素是激光光源的亮度,另一个因素是图像的灰阶值(也即是图像自身的亮度),该两个因素的叠加最终可以确定一帧图像的实际显示亮度,因此,可以通过调节该两个因素的比例来优化显示效果。 It can be known from the above dynamic contrast formula that when Lw reaches the maximum value, the dynamic contrast can be improved by reducing the value of L B. Among them, the actual display brightness of the image of the laser projection device is usually determined by two factors. One factor is the brightness of the laser light source, and the other factor is the grayscale value of the image (that is, the brightness of the image itself). The superposition can finally determine the actual display brightness of a frame of image. Therefore, the display effect can be optimized by adjusting the ratio of the two factors.
通常情况下,激光投影设备所显示的视频中图像自身的亮度是基于其内容不断变化的,对于每一帧图像,均可以根据图像自身的亮度调整激光光源,从而调整图像的实际显示亮度。例如,当一帧图像为黑色画面时,可以通过降低激光光源的亮度,使得该一帧图像的实际显示亮度相较于其自身亮度更低。这样,可以通过降低激光光源的亮度,降低激光投影设备在显示图像时的实际显示亮度的下限值,即最低实际显示亮度(LB),提高该激光投影设备在显示图像时的动态对比度。同时由于降低了激光光源的亮度,因此,也降低了该激光投影设备的功耗。Normally, the brightness of the image itself in the video displayed by the laser projection device is constantly changing based on its content. For each frame of image, the laser light source can be adjusted according to the brightness of the image itself to adjust the actual display brightness of the image. For example, when a frame of image is a black screen, the brightness of the laser light source can be reduced to make the actual display brightness of the frame of image lower than its own brightness. In this way, by reducing the brightness of the laser light source, the lower limit of the actual display brightness of the laser projection device when displaying images, that is, the lowest actual display brightness (LB), can be reduced, and the dynamic contrast of the laser projection device when displaying images can be improved. At the same time, since the brightness of the laser light source is reduced, the power consumption of the laser projection device is also reduced.
本申请实施例提供的激光投影设备,可以在不改变图像的实际显示亮度,从而提高该激光投影设备的动态对比度。其图像显示的原理为:对激光光源的亮度和待显示图像的灰阶值分别进行处理,以增强图像的细节表达,进而在保证显示图像的亮度不变的前提下,降低光源亮度,提高激光投影设备的动态对比度。为了便于读者理解,本申请实施例以图12至图14为例对本申请实施例所涉及的图像显示原理进行说明:The laser projection device provided by the embodiment of the present application can improve the dynamic contrast of the laser projection device without changing the actual display brightness of the image. The principle of image display is: separately processing the brightness of the laser light source and the grayscale value of the image to be displayed to enhance the detail expression of the image, and then reduce the brightness of the light source and increase the laser light on the premise that the brightness of the displayed image remains unchanged. The dynamic contrast of the projection device. In order to facilitate readers’ understanding, the embodiments of the present application take FIGS. 12 to 14 as examples to illustrate the image display principles involved in the embodiments of the present application:
如图12至图14所述,图12至图14示出了输入信号灰阶值(也称显示灰阶值或图像自身亮度)、屏幕亮度(也即是实际显示亮度)的关系。图12至图14中,横坐标为输入信号灰阶值,纵坐标为屏幕亮度。假设激光投影设备所能处理的图像的最大灰阶值为256,激光光源的功率(由于激光光源的功率与激光光源的亮度成正比,本申请实施例中,假设激光光源的功率等价于激光光源的亮度)为一个标准量(也即是参考量),例如为单位以一,则,如图12所示,该激光投影设备的输入信号灰阶值与屏幕亮度的曲线(也即是伽马曲线)为图12中的实线。假设,当前显示的一帧图像A的输入信号灰阶值为160,则对应的屏幕亮度为96,如图13所示,将该帧图像A的输入的信号灰阶值增益D倍,该帧图像A转化为图像A’,该图像A’对应的屏幕亮度为192。如图14所示,可以通过降低激光光源的功率使屏幕亮度降为96,从而将图像A’转化为图像A。这样,由于图像的显示灰阶值范围越大,图像的细节表达越丰富,而本申请实施例提供的激光投影设备可以将图像的显示灰阶值的范围扩大,也即是提高了显示灰阶值的上限值,因此,增强了图像的细节表达,同时,在保证图像A的实际显示亮度不变的前提下,激光光源的亮度降低,对比度提高,功耗降低。As described in FIGS. 12 to 14, FIGS. 12 to 14 show the relationship between the input signal grayscale value (also called display grayscale value or image brightness) and screen brightness (that is, actual display brightness). In Figure 12 to Figure 14, the abscissa is the grayscale value of the input signal, and the ordinate is the screen brightness. Assuming that the maximum grayscale value of the image that can be processed by the laser projection device is 256, the power of the laser light source (because the power of the laser light source is proportional to the brightness of the laser light source, in the embodiment of this application, it is assumed that the power of the laser light source is equivalent to the laser light source). The brightness of the light source) is a standard quantity (that is, a reference quantity). For example, the unit is one. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the curve of the gray scale value of the input signal of the laser projection device and the screen brightness (that is, the Horse curve) is the solid line in Figure 12. Assuming that the input signal grayscale value of a frame of image A currently displayed is 160, the corresponding screen brightness is 96. As shown in Figure 13, the input signal grayscale value of this frame of image A is increased by D times. Image A is transformed into image A', and the screen brightness corresponding to this image A'is 192.
