Description

光回收组件及投影装置 技术领域
本申请涉及光学仪器技术领域,具体涉及一种光回收组件及投影装置。
背景技术
传统的LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,液晶显示器)投影仪跟传统的电影放映机和幻灯机的原理非常相似,即在原来电影胶片或幻灯片所在的位置,采用LCD液晶面板作为显像源,经背部大功率灯泡或LED(Light Emitting Diode,发光二极管)进行强光投射,再经过光线整形、显像、梯形校正,最后经投影仪镜头将LCD液晶面板上的图像放大投射到白幕或白墙上,使用户获得几十至上百寸大小的影像,可获得观看电影的效果及体验。
然而,现有的LCD投影存在体积过大、光学元件多、效率低等问题。如图1所示,现有的LCD液晶面板100在使用时,为了提高面板的透过率,一般会把照明光预先通过增光片起偏,这样能有效减小第一片偏光片110带来的光损失,而后照明光会先后通过黑色膜120、TFT电极层130、液晶140、透明电极层150、彩膜160与第二片偏光片170。LCD投影在使用时存在效率低的问题,主要有下列几个原因:
1.当前消费者对投影仪的要求主要是便携(小体积)与高分辨率,对LCD液晶面板提出了更高的要求。然而,现有主流的加工工艺只能实现长度12微米,宽度3.5微米的TFT(Thin Film Transistor,薄膜晶体管)导线尺寸,且TFT导线尺寸不会因为像素的减小而变小,导致现有的LCD液晶面板的开口率(光线 能透过的有效区域比例)一般都在50%以下,影响光效;
2.为了防止不同颜色像素的串扰,并保护透明电极和TFT导线,LCD液晶面板上会设置有上下两层黑色膜120,这也带来了光效上的损失;
3.现有的LCD液晶面板在一个大像素上通过彩膜与黑色膜把一个大像素切分为三个RGB小像素,实现全彩显示。然而,由于背光源为白光,彩膜只能让特定颜色(光谱)的光透过,其余的光都不会被后续光学系统利用,最终会造成约66%的能效损失,利用率低。
单DLP(Digital Light Processing,数字光处理)与LCOS(Liquid Crystal on Silicon,液晶附硅)显示技术能够在实现全彩显示的同时不降低光效率,具体地,其通过光源在时序上(一帧内)分别输出RGB三种颜色的照明光,空间光调制器在时序上对特定颜色的光进行调制,实现一帧画面的全彩显示。然而,这种方法会带来彩色图像边沿出现RGB色彩不重合的现象,也称为彩虹效应(color breakup)。彩虹效应形成的原因在于一个图像帧内,时序显示的RGB子帧图像在人眼视网膜上成像位置不能重合,对于屏幕上运动的彩色图像更为明显,并会给观众带来眩晕感,仍需进行改善。

具体实施方式
为了便于理解本申请实施例,下面将参照相关附图对本申请实施例进行更全面的描述。附图中给出了本申请的较佳实施方式。但是,本申请可以以许多不 同的形式来实现,并不限于本文所描述的实施方式。相反地,提供这些实施方式的目的是使对本申请的公开内容理解的更加透彻全面。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本申请的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本申请实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施方式的目的,不是旨在于限制本申请。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中提供的光回收组件可以独立使用,并不需要依托于任何投影装置,以下仅从其在投影装置中的实际运用进行详细描述,旨在使本领域技术人员能够更清晰的理解本申请。
图2是本申请实施例提供的投影装置的结构示意图,请参阅图2所示,投影装置200包括出光组件210、光回收组件220和光阀230,光回收组件220和光阀230依次设置在出光组件210的出光光路上。光阀230包括显像面231,显像面231用于对入射到所述显像面231上的光进行调制,以形成光学影像。出光组件210用于发出照明光L 1,光回收组件220用于将照明光L 1进行整形和分光后形成出射至显像面231的第一偏振光L 41,并将其余的照明光引导至出光组件210形成回收光L 3,第一偏振光L 41的光斑形状与显像面231的形状相适配。出光组件210还用于将回收光L 3反射至光回收组件220。
光阀230又称液晶光阀,是调制从光回收组件220发出的照明光的关键器件,通常情况下,光阀230利用的是特定偏光方向的光束。本实施例中,显像面231用于调制第一偏振光L 41。投影装置200还可以包括镜头240,显像面231调制输出的光束经镜头240成像后可以投影到屏幕上形成投影图像。
图3是本申请实施例提供的光束在整形器的投影示意图,参阅图2和图3所示,显像面231通常为矩形,当出光组件210为荧光光源时,由于荧光发光特性为朗伯发光,光斑的截面形状通常为圆形或近似圆形。若要让整个显像面231 都覆盖在圆形光束的照射中,则会使得光束中边缘部分的光线投射到显像面231以外的区域,由于该部分光线无法进入显像面231,造成了光线的浪费,导致光线的利用效率较低。若要缩小光束的截面面积,让圆形光束全部都透射到显像面231内,则会使得显像面231的部分区域不能被光束照到,从而使得该部分区域不能显像,无法最大化的实现显像面的调制功能。
投影装置200通过光回收组件220对照明光L 1进行整形和分光后形成出射至显像面231的第一偏振光L 41,由于第一偏振光L 41的光斑形状与显像面231的形状相适配,使得显像面231的所有区域都能够被光束照到,且最终入射至显像面231的光束为具有特定偏光方向的光束,能够有效避免颜色串扰问题。光回收组件220还用于将其余的照明光引导至出光组件210形成回收光L 3,回收光L 3经出光组件210反射后可以重新入射至光回收组件220,实现光循环,有效提高了光的利用效率。同时,由于仅设置了一个光回收组件,就同时实现了光束的整形和回收,减小了整个光路设计的体积,并降低了成本。
光回收组件220可以包括整形器221和起偏器组件222,其中,整形器221用于对输入光回收组件220的照明光进行整形,以形成非图像光以及具有预设光斑形状的图像光,图像光照射至起偏器组件222,非图像光被整形器221回收,起偏器组件222用于将图像光分光为第一偏振光及与第一偏振光的偏振态相异的第二偏振光,第一偏振光用于光学调制,第二偏振光被起偏器组件222回收,并且非图像光与第二偏振光共同构成回收光。
具体的,整形器221用于将照明光L 1整形为出射到显像面231的图像光L 22和出射到显像面231外的非图像光L 21,并将至少部分非图像光L 22引导至出光组件210作为回收光L 3。起偏器组件222设置在整形器221的出光光路上,用于将图像光L 22分为第一偏振光L 41以及与第一偏振光L 41的偏振态相异的第二 偏振光L 42,并将第一偏振光L 41透射至显像面231,将第二偏振光L 42引导至出光组件210作为回收光L 3
需要说明的是,图2仅示出光回收组件220的光轴X上半部分的光线传输示意图,对称部分同理。
本实施例中,出光组件210出射至光回收组件220的光束包括出光组件210发出的照明光L 1以及光回收组件220所反射的回收光。非图像光L 21为出光组件210出射至光回收组件220的光束中的大角度光线,图像光L 22为出光组件210出射至光回收组件220的光束中的小角度光线。其中,大角度光线与光回收组件220的光轴X的夹角可以大于设定夹角,小角度光线与光回收组件220的光轴X的夹角可以小于设定夹角。
在本实施例中,非图像光L 21包括A区光线和C区光线,整形器221可以仅用于将A区光线引导至出光组件210,即将投射到显像面231长度方向两侧外的非图像光L 21引导至出光组件210,使得原来不能投射到显像面231的非图像光L 21能够被回收到出光组件210,并经出光组件210反射后回到光回收组件220,实现了光的循环利用,能够提高光效。
在一些实施方式中,整形器221也可以用于将A区光线和C区光线引导至出光组件210,即将全部非图像光L 21引导至出光组件210。当然,整形器221也可以仅用于将C区光线引导至出光组件210,即将投射到显像面231宽度方向两侧外的非图像光L 21引导至出光组件210。
图像光L 22为B区光线,整形器221透射图像光L 22至起偏器组件222分光形成第一偏振光L 41和第二偏振光L 42,第一偏振光L 41完全覆盖显像面231,使得显像面231上的所有区域都能够显像。
需要说明的是,当显像面231的形状为预设形状时,设置所述整形器221的 出光面(也即后文中的第二表面)为预设形状,以使整形后的第一偏振光L 41的预设光斑形状为预设形状;当显像面231的形状为三角形或者梯形等其他一些预设形状时,设置所述整形器221的出光面,以使整形后的第一偏振光L 41的预设光斑形状为对应的三角形或者梯形或其他预设形状,本领域技术人员可以根据光阀230的实际结构适应性调整整形器221的出光面,以使整形后的第一偏振光L 41的预设光斑形状满足要求。
第一偏振光L 41可以为P偏振光,也可以为S偏振光。当第一偏振光L 41为P偏振光时,第二偏振光L 42为S偏振光。当第一偏振光L 41为S偏振光时,第二偏振光L 42为P偏振光。本实施例中,光阀230适用于调制P偏振光,第一偏振光L 41为P偏振光,第二偏振光L 42为S偏振光。
本实施例中,整形器221包括第一表面2211和第二表面2212,照明光L 1自第一表面2211入射,图像光L 22自第二表面2212出射。起偏器组件222包括第三表面2221和第四表面2222,图像光L 22自第三表面2221入射,第一偏振光L 41自第四表面2222出射,第三表面2221抵接于第二表面2212。由此,整形器221和起偏器组件222连接为一体,减小光回收组件220占用的空间大小,方便进行加工制造,同时能够避免在温度变化时,整形器221和起偏器组件222之间产生相对位移或者错位。
第三表面2221的面积可以大于或者等于第二表面2212的面积,以使得第三表面2221能够接收全部自第二表面2212出射的图像光L 22,光能利用率最高。
在一些实施方式中,第三表面2221通过粘胶粘合于第二表面2212,粘胶可以采用与整形器221和起偏器组件222的材质折射率相接近的粘胶。当然,也可以不设置粘胶,而是采用光回收组件支架通过外力固定整形器221和起偏器组件222,以增强光透过率。
图4是本申请实施例提供的光回收组件的爆炸示意图,结合图2和图4所示,整形器221还包括两个关于光回收组件220的光轴X对称的反射部2213,每个反射部2213均设置并连接于第一表面2211和第二表面2212之间,每个反射部2213用于将非图像光L 21反射至另一个反射部2213,并将另一个反射部2213所反射的非图像光L 21反射至出光组件210。由此,可以实现非图像光L 21的回收利用。
反射部2213可以是平面,也可以是带锯齿状的凹凸面,只要能够反射光线即可。反射部2213也可以涂布有增反膜,以增强反射部2213的反光效果,减少反射时的光能量损失。
本实施例中,反射部2213相对光回收组件210的光轴X倾斜45°,使得垂直入射至第一表面2211的非图像光L 21可以与反射部2213成45°入射至反射部2213,并经另一个反射部2213反射后以垂直第一表面2211的方向自第一表面2211出射,即非图像光L 21可以在两个反射部2213发生全反射后回收至出光组件210,有效避免光的浪费,进一步提高光的利用率。
第一表面2211和第二表面2212可以均为矩形,且第二表面2212的形状大小与显像面231的形状大小一致,以使第一偏振光L 41可以覆盖显像面231,在使显像面231的全部区域都能够被第一偏振光L 41照射到的同时,避免第一偏振光L 41投射到显像面231外,降低光的使用效率。
整形器221还包括两个相对设置的连接部2214,连接部2214可以是平面,也可以是带锯齿状的凹凸面。每个连接部2214均连接于第一表面2211、第二表面2212以及两个反射部2213之间。连接部2214可以分别与第一表面2211和第二表面2212垂直,即连接部2214与光回收组件220的光轴X平行,以简化整形器221的制作工艺。
在一些实施方式中,连接部2214也可以相对光回收组件220的光轴X倾斜预定角度,使得每个连接部2214还能够用于将C区光线反射至另一个连接部2214,并将另一个连接部2214所反射的光线反射至出光组件210,实现C区光线的循环利用,由此可以回收全部非图像光L 21,以进一步提高投影装置200的光回收效率。作为一种示例,连接部2214可以相对光回收组件220的光轴X倾斜45°。
本实施例中,连接部2214为等腰梯形平面,等腰梯形平面的下底连接于第一表面2211,等腰梯形的上底连接于第二表面2212,等腰梯形的腰分别连接于两个反射部2213。
在一些实施方式中,可以采用四棱台棱镜作为整形器221,四棱台棱镜的上底面为第二表面2212,下底面为第一表面2211,各侧面分别为两个反射部2213和两个连接部2214。
在本实施例中,起偏器组件222包括两个相互连接的偏振分光棱镜223,两个偏振分光棱镜223连接为一体,能够避免在温度变化时,两个偏振分光棱镜223之间产生相对位于或者错位。
在一些实施方式中,两个偏振分光棱镜223可以通过粘胶进行粘连,粘胶可以采用与偏振分光棱镜223的材质折射率相接近的胶。当然,也可以不设置粘胶,通过起偏器支架通过外力固定两个偏振分光棱镜223,以增强光透过率。
每个偏振分光棱镜223均包括第三表面2221和第四表面2222,以及位于第三表面2221和第四表面2222之间的偏振分光膜2231,两个偏振分光膜2231相互垂直,且关于光回收组件210的光轴X对称设置。
图像光L 22经偏振分光膜2231分光形成第一偏振光L 41和第二偏振光L 42,每个偏振分光膜2231用于将第一偏振光L 41透射至显像面231,以及用于将第 二偏振光L 42反射至另一个偏振分光膜2231,并将另一个偏振分光膜2231所反射的第二偏振光L 42反射至出光组件210。起偏器组件222通过两个偏振分光棱镜能够同时实现光的回收和起偏,使用到的光学元件少,结构设计简单实用。
偏振分光棱镜223可以包括两个直角棱镜224,两个直角棱镜224的斜面相互胶合,其中一个直角棱镜224的斜面上设有偏振分光膜2231。第三表面2221为其中一个直角棱镜224朝向整形器221的直角边面,第四表面2222为另一个直角棱镜224背离整形器221的直角边面。
本实施例中,光阀230适用于调制P偏振光,偏振分光膜2231可以是具有透射P偏振光,反射S偏振光功能的介质膜,以使P偏振光完全通过,而S偏振光可以在两个偏振分光膜2231之间发生全反射后入射至出光组件210,有效避免光的浪费,进一步提高光的利用率。

色轮212的漫反射作用可以将第二偏振光L 42转变为无偏振方向的自然光,无偏振方向的自然光经过收集透镜组250的作用后,其中大角度的光线照射到整形器221,小角度的光线透过整形器221照射到起偏器组件222进行分光形成第一偏振光入射到显像面231,从而能够被重新利用。

具体地,散射片2122用于对入射的激发光L 0进行散射,激发光L 0透过散射片2122可以形成发散的出射光,且具有消除激光散斑的作用。偏振片2123可以为具有透射P偏振光、反射S偏振光功能的偏振分光片,当回收光回收至偏振片2123时,会分光产生P偏振光和S偏振光,同时S偏振光可以被偏振片2123反射至光回收组件220实现重新利用,P偏振光的会透过偏振片2123形成无用光。偏振片2123用于回收S偏振光,避免S偏振光和P偏振光同时透过散射片2122形成无用光造成浪费,能够实现尽可能多的光循环,进一步提高光的利用效率。
色轮212还可以包括荧光粉层2124,荧光粉层2124设于透明基板2121,激发光L 0透过荧光粉层2124激发产生荧光作为照明光L 1。荧光粉层2124具有粗糙表面,荧光粉层2124还用于将回收至荧光粉层2124的回收光进行漫反射后重新入射至光回收组件220,实现光的重新利用。

投影装置200还可以包括收集透镜组250,收集透镜组250设于出光组件210和光回收组件220之间的光路上,用于将出光组件210发出的照明光L 1收集至光回收组件220,以及用于将光回收组件220所反射的回收光收集至色轮212。收集透镜组250用于缩小光束的发散角度,实现光束的会聚。
收集透镜组250可以包括两个椭圆收集透镜,其中一个收集透镜靠近光回收组件220,另外一个收集透镜靠近出光组件210,以实现更好的收光效果。
出光组件210产生的三种颜色的光束通过收集透镜组250后入射至光回收组件220,在光回收组件220的入射面上三种颜色的光束互相叠加,这三种颜色的光束在角空间上彼此分离,空间立体角彼此不交叠,但在面空间上,由于传播距离不足够远,所以这三种颜色的光束会在近场互相叠加,形成白光。
本实施例中,非图像光L 21为色轮212出射至光回收组件220的光束中的大角度光线,图像光L 22为出色轮212出射至光回收组件220的光束中的小角度光线。其中,大角度光线与光回收组件220的光轴X的夹角可以大于设定夹角α,小角度光线与光回收组件220的光轴X的夹角可以小于设定夹角α。在不设置收集透镜组250的情况下,假设红色荧光粉层2125位于色轮212的最内侧,设 定第一端点位于红色荧光粉层2125靠近色轮212中心的一侧,第二端点位于反射部2213与起偏器组件222的连接处,设定夹角α可以大致等于第一端点和第二端点之间的连线与光回收组件220的光轴X的夹角值,以确保最大角度的光线能够被完全回收再利用,进一步提高光利用效率。

在本实施例中,三束出射方向不同的蓝色激光束透过收集透镜组250后分别成像于红色荧光粉层2174、绿色荧光粉层2175和散射片2173,其中一束蓝色激光束在红色荧光粉层2174激发产生红色的照明光,另一束蓝色激光束在绿色荧光粉层2175激发产生绿色的照明光,剩余的一束蓝色激光束在散射片2173反射产生蓝色的照明光。由此,出光组件210可以产生三种不同颜色且在空间上彼此分离的照明光。
出光组件210产生的三种颜色的照明光透过收集透镜组250后入射至光回收组件220,在光回收组件220的入射面上三种颜色的光束互相叠加,这三种颜色的光束在角空间上彼此分离,空间立体角彼此不交叠,但在面空间上,由于传播距离不足够远,所以这三种颜色的光束会在近场互相叠加,形成白光。
图8是图7所示的实施例提供的投影装置的光路图,结合图7和图8所示,非图像光在整形器221发生两次全反射后返回收集透镜组250,再成像于各自发光面。具体地,红色光会返回红色荧光粉层2174,再漫反射出射,被光回收组件220重新利用。绿色光会返回绿色荧光粉层2175,再漫反射出射,被光回收组件220重新利用。蓝色光会返回散射片2173,再漫反射出射,被光回收组件220重新利用。
进入起偏器组件222的整形光被分光形成第一偏振光(例如P偏振光)和第二偏振光(例如S偏振光),第二偏振光经过两次反射后入射至收集透镜组 250,再入射到色轮212上各自的发光区域,再通过漫反射出射,形成可以被重新利用的自然光,从而实现光循环。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例提供的光回收组件,由于同时具备整形器和光偏转组件,能够仅通过一个组件实现光束整形和回收,减小了整个光路设计的体积,并降低了成本,提高了光利用效率,可以灵活应用于各种投影、照明等显示场景;同时,本申请实施例提供的投影系统中通过光回收组件对照明光进行整形和分光后形成出射至显像面的第一偏振光,由于第一偏振光的光斑形状与显像面的形状相适配,使得显像面的所有区域都能够被光束照到,且最终入射至显像面的光束为具有特定偏光方向的光束,能够有效避免颜色串扰问题。光回收组件还用于将其余的照明光引导至出光组件形成回收光,回收光经出光组件反射后可以重新入射至光回收组件实现光循环,有效提高了光的利用效率。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本申请的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对本申请专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本申请的保护范围。因此,本申请专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
