Detailed Description
The invention is further described with reference to the following figures and detailed description.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a fiber laser large screen display device in an embodiment using the fiber laser wide projection device of the present invention, where the fiber laser wide projection device includes a red light laser source 201a, a green light laser source 201b, a blue light laser source 201c, a coupling lens group 202, a transmission device 203, a fixed body 204, a micro-coupling lens group 205, and a modulator 206, where the coupling lens group 202 includes a red light coupling lens 202a, a green light coupling lens 202b, and a blue light coupling lens 202 c. In the present embodiment, the fiber laser wide projection display device using the fiber laser wide projection display device of the present invention is described by taking the fiber laser wide projection display device and a large screen display as an example, and this fiber laser wide projection display device is referred to as a fiber laser large screen display device in the present invention. The fiber laser large screen display device includes, in addition to the above components, a scattering lens 207 and a display screen 208. The laser beams emitted by the red, green and blue laser light sources 201a, 201b and 201c are coupled into the transmission device 203 for transmitting the laser beams by the red, green and blue coupling lenses 202a, 202b and 202c, respectively, the output end of the transmission device 203 is fixed on the fixing body 204, and the laser beams transmitted by the transmission device 203 are focused, image-modulated and beam-expanded sequentially by the micro-coupling lens group 205, the modulator 206 and the scattering lens 207, and then projected onto the display screen 208 for imaging. Specific implementations of the above components are described below.
The red, green and blue laser sources 201a, 201b and 201c are used to provide light sources required for display in the present invention, and in this embodiment, three laser sources are used, wherein the red laser source 201a uses a red solid laser with a wavelength of 635nm, the green laser source 201b uses a green solid laser with a wavelength of 532nm, and the blue laser source 201c uses a blue solid laser with a wavelength of 457 nm. In order to improve the display effect of the display device, the three-color laser light sources of red, green and blue should satisfy the principle of power matching white balance, and specifically in this embodiment, the power matching ratio of the three-color laser light sources of red, green and blue is 1.3634:1:0.7510 according to the wavelengths of the three-color laser light sources of red, green and blue, so as to satisfy the white balance. The red, green and blue coupling lenses 202a, 202b and 202c shape and couple the laser light emitted from the red, green and blue laser light sources, respectively, into the transmission device 203. The number of the coupling lenses of the coupling lens group 202 is equal to the number of the laser light sources, and the coupling lens group 202 in this embodiment adopts 3 self-focusing lenses, which correspond to the three laser light sources of red, green and blue, respectively.
The transmission device 203 comprises a plurality of optical fibers which are divided into a plurality of bundles of optical fibers, one bundle of optical fibers being placed behind one coupling lens. At least one optical fiber is extracted from each bundle of optical fibers to form a group of optical fiber bundles, the group of optical fiber bundles form a pixel unit 209, each optical fiber in the pixel unit 209 conducts laser light of one color, each pixel unit 209 comprises optical fibers conducting all colors, at least one optical fiber conducting one color is conducted, and the light conducted by each pixel unit 209 meets the power proportion white balance principle. The optical fiber used in this embodiment is a conventional optical fiber having a core refractive index higher than that of the cladding. As can be seen from fig. 2, the red, green and blue lasers are coupled into the optical fiber bundle of the transmission device 203 by the red, green and blue coupling lenses 202a, 202b and 202c, respectively. The red, green and blue coupling lenses 202a, 202b and 202c are respectively corresponding to a bundle of optical fibers, each bundle of optical fibers is fixed to a bundle by a fastening ring, the number of optical fibers in the three bundles of optical fibers is equal, and the laser power transmitted by the optical fibers in the same bundle of optical fibers is the same, namely the laser power transmitted by the optical fibers transmitting the light with the same color is the same. Each bundle of optical fibers transmits the laser light transmitted by its corresponding coupling lens, for example, a bundle of optical fibers behind the red light coupling lens 202a is used to transmit the red light transmitted by the red light coupling lens 202 a. One optical fiber is selected from each of the three optical fiber bundles and recombined into a group of optical fiber bundles, and the group of optical fiber bundles form the pixel unit 209. The pixel cell 209 of fig. 2 is a fiber bundle consisting of three fibers that transmit red, green, and blue light, respectively. Because the number of the optical fibers in the three bundles of optical fibers is the same, the laser powers transmitted by the optical fibers in the same bundle of optical fibers are the same, and because the power ratio of the red-light, green-light and blue-light three-color laser light sources already meets the white balance principle, the light powers of the red light, the green light and the blue light transmitted by each pixel unit 209 also meet the white balance ratio.
There are also many ways to implement the arrangement of the fiber bundles in the pixel unit 209, one way is as shown in fig. 3, and all three fibers in the pixel unit 209 are arranged in an equilateral triangle in a manner of tangency every two and are wrapped together in a circle. The incident end of the pixel unit 209 (i.e. the incident end of the optical fiber bundle) is behind the coupling lens group, and the output end of the pixel unit 209 (i.e. the output end of the optical fiber bundle) is fixed on the fixing body 204. The fixing body 204 is provided with holes with the same number as the pixel units 209, the output ends of the pixel units 209 are arranged in the holes on the fixing body 204, and the output ends of all the pixel units 209 on the fixing body 204 are in the same plane and form a light output surface. In this embodiment, the pixel units 209 are arranged on the fixed body 204 in a rectangular shape in the manner shown in fig. 3, the fixed body 204 for fixing the pixel units 209 is also rectangular, the length of the fixed body 204 is L, and the width of the fixed body 204 is K, and the fixed body 204 is arranged according to the pixel unitsThe number of (a) is provided with M × N holes (M and N are positive integers, the number of rows is M, and the number of columns is N), and the M × N holes are used for installing the pixel units 209. The center transverse distance and the center longitudinal distance of each hole are both v, the M multiplied by N pixel units 209 are correspondingly inserted into the M multiplied by N holes of the fixing body 204 one by one and are fixed on the fixing body 204 by glue, and the size of each hole is determined according to the size of the pixel unit 209, so that the pixel units 209 can be arranged in the holes. The resolution of the display image of the display device of the present invention is related to the proportional relationship between the distance between the pixel units 209 and the distance between the display screen and the viewer, because the minimum resolution angle of human eyes is 0.3mrad, if the distance between the viewer and the display screen is U, and the viewer can clearly view the image on the display device, the distance v between the adjacent pixel units 209 and the distance U between the display screen and the viewer should satisfy the following relation: <math> <mrow> <mi>U</mi> <mo>&GreaterEqual;</mo> <mfrac> <mi>v</mi> <mrow> <mn>2</mn> <mo>&times;</mo> <mi>tg</mi> <mn>0.00015</mn> </mrow> </mfrac> <mo>,</mo> </mrow></math> the spacing of adjacent pixel elements 209 must take into account the screen-to-viewer distance to ensure image sharpness. Of course, the center of each hole may have different transverse and longitudinal pitches, but the transverse and longitudinal pitches also satisfy the above requirements. The number of pixel units 209 to be fixed on the fixing body 204 is related to the pixel requirement of the display device of the present invention, for example, in this embodiment, when M is 1024, N is 1280, that is, the pixel of the display device is 1024 × 1280, 1024 × 1280 holes are needed on the fixing body 204 to place 1024 × 1280 pixel units 209, that is, 3 × 1024 × 1280 optical fibers are needed in total.
After the light beam is transmitted through the pixel unit 209, the light beam is focused and image-modulated sequentially through the micro-coupling lens group 205 and the modulator 206. The micro-coupling lens group 205 includes a plurality of micro-coupling lenses for focusing and coupling the output light of the pixel unit 209 to the modulator, and the micro-coupling lenses correspond to the pixel units one by one. The modulator 206 includes a plurality of micro-modulation units, which correspond to the micro-coupling lenses one by one, in this embodiment, 1024 × 1280 micro-modulation units. Each fine modulation unit comprises a plurality of micro-modulators, the number of micro-modulators in each fine modulation unit corresponding to the number of optical fibers in the pixel unit 209 or to the number of colors of light conducted in the pixel unit 209, in this embodiment, the fine modulation unit employs 3 micro-liquid crystal modulators. In specific implementation, a spherical lens group is respectively fixed on an output end face of each pixel unit 209, and the implementation can be realized by a mechanical sleeve or welding method, etc., 3 micro liquid crystal modulators are respectively placed on an output light path of each spherical lens group, the spherical lens group respectively focuses 3 beams of red, green and blue light conducted by the corresponding pixel unit 209 onto the 3 micro liquid crystal modulators, and then the 3 micro liquid crystal modulators respectively modulate the red, green and blue light, the number of the required spherical lens groups is equal to the number of the pixel units 209, namely 1024 × 1280, and the number of the micro liquid crystal modulators is equal to the number of optical fibers in the transmission device 203, namely 1024 × 1280 × 3. In this embodiment, since the three optical fibers of the pixel unit 209 are closely arranged and have smaller diameters, the output beam of the pixel unit 209 may be approximately three paraxial beams incident on one micro-coupling lens, and three beams of light output may be obtained, and certainly, three micro-coupling lenses may be adopted to respectively correspond to the three optical fibers of one pixel unit 209, and if the number of the optical fibers in the pixel unit 209 is greater than three, the number of the micro-coupling lenses may also be correspondingly adjusted.
After modulation of the light beam is achieved, the beam divergence angle can be increased by a diffuser lens 207. The scattering lens 207 is disposed on the output optical path of the modulator 206, in this embodiment, the scattering lens 207 is a fresnel lens, and the image modulated by each of the tiny liquid crystal modulators is scattered by the fresnel lens and then projected to the display 208.
In the above embodiment, the optical fiber used in the pixel unit 209 is a conventional optical fiber having a core refractive index larger than that of the cladding, and in another embodiment of the present invention, an optical fiber having a special structure is used. Such fibers include two segments, as shown, for example, in fig. 4: the total reflection section 401 and the light leakage section 402, wherein the core refractive index of the total reflection section 401 is greater than the cladding refractive index, and light beams are totally reflected in the total reflection section 401 of the optical fiber; the core index of refraction of the light leaking section 402 is less than the cladding index of refraction and light will be transmitted out of the circumferential surface of the light leaking section 402 of the fiber. The optical fiber bundle in the pixel unit 209 adopts the light leakage section 402 only near one end of the fixed body 204, and adopts the total reflection section 401 in the rest part. When the optical fiber bundle in the pixel unit 209 is fixed on the fixing body 204, instead of directly installing the optical fiber ends in the fixing body 204 as a conventional optical fiber bundle, the light leakage section 402 of the optical fiber bundle is wound into a snake-shaped disc shape as shown in fig. 5 in the same plane, the light leakage section 402 of the snake-shaped disc shape forms a light emitting surface, then the light emitting surface is installed in the fixing body 204, and the light emitting surfaces formed by the optical fiber bundles of three colors are placed in an equilateral triangle to form the pixel unit as shown in fig. 5. Compared with the previous embodiment in which only the fiber ends are installed in the fixing body 204, the method has the advantages that the formed light emitting points are large, the mutual interval of the pixel units 209 can be effectively reduced, and the displayed picture is finer and smoother. Of course, the shape of the light leakage section 402 is not limited to the shape shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is only an example, and the winding pitch and the winding shape of the light leakage section 402 may be changed in practical use as long as the shape and the pitch required for display are satisfied. After the optical fiber described in the embodiment is adopted, other components in the fiber laser large screen display device and the whole structure of the device can be kept unchanged.
In the two embodiments, the lengths of the optical fibers in the optical fiber bundles conducting the laser light of the same color are not equal, so that the optical path difference is generated by the light beams conducted in the optical fibers, and when the optical path difference satisfies that the optical path difference generated by the conducted light beams is not equal and is greater than the coherence length, the interference between the light beams of the color is weakened. The speckle effect in the projection display can be reduced by adjusting the length of the optical fiber so that the interference between the transmitted light beams of each color is reduced.
The above is a description of the large-screen fiber laser display device using the wide fiber laser projection device of the present invention, and the display device may be further applied, for example, two or more groups of fiber laser display devices are combined together to form a display device with a larger area. The type of the light source used in the invention is not limited to a solid laser, and other types of lasers, such as a semiconductor laser, a fiber laser or a gas laser, can be applied to the invention, and besides the red, green and blue three-color laser light sources respectively have one laser, the number of the light sources can be changed on the premise of meeting the three-color laser light sources, for example, two red light sources are provided, and one is provided for each of a green light source and a blue light source, so long as the three-primary-color light sources generally meet the power matching white balance principle. Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the light source may be a light source of four primary colors, five primary colors or more, besides the laser light sources of three primary colors of red, green and blue, as long as the light sources satisfy the principle of multi-primary power matching white balance. In addition, lasers capable of emitting lasers of multiple colors can be used, and for such lasers, the number of light sources can be determined according to the number of paths for emitting lasers, for example, one light source device is composed of two lasers, one laser emits two paths of lasers which respectively provide red light and blue light, the other laser only emits one path of green light, and the light source device is regarded as having three laser light sources. The coupling lenses of the coupling lens group 202 may be, besides the self-focusing lens, a cylindrical lens, an aspheric lens or a spherical lens group, the number of the coupling lenses is equal to the number of the light sources and corresponds to one another, and the number of the coupling lenses can be adaptively adjusted according to the number of the light sources, for example, if one light source device has two red light sources, one green light source and one blue light source, the number of the coupling lenses needs to be adjusted to 4 to respectively correspond to 4 light sources, the bundle of the optical fibers is also adjusted to 4, the number of the optical fibers in the pixel unit is also adjusted to 4, 2 optical fibers conduct red light, 1 optical fiber conducts blue light and 1 optical fiber conducts green light, correspondingly, the number of the micro-modulators in the micro-modulation unit may be 4 or 3, and two bundles of red light share one micro-modulator in case of 3. The number of optical fibers contained in the optical fiber bundle of the pixel unit 209 can be adaptively adjusted according to the number of light sources and the total number of optical fibers. For example, when the number of the red, green and blue light sources is 3, but the number of the optical fibers for conducting the green laser light source and the blue laser light source is equal, and the number of the optical fibers for conducting the red laser light source is twice the number of the optical fibers for conducting the green laser light source, the number of the optical fibers for the optical fiber bundle of the pixel unit 209 is also adjusted to 4 accordingly, 2 of them are used for conducting red light, and accordingly the number of the micro-modulators in each of the micro-modulation units on the subsequent optical path is adjusted to 4, or 3, in which case, two optical fibers for conducting red light share one micro-modulator. Of course, as the conditions change, the number of optical fibers of the optical fiber bundle of the pixel unit 209 can be adjusted to 5 or 6 or even more. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that as the number of optical fibers of the optical fiber bundle of the pixel unit 209 varies, the overall shape of the pixel unit 209 wrapping the optical fibers may also be square, trapezoid, circular ring, etc., the optical fibers of the optical fiber bundle of the pixel unit 209 may be arranged in other shapes such as "one", "i" or "tian" shape, etc., and the pitch of the optical fibers may also vary according to actual needs. Besides being in the same plane, the output ends of all the pixel units 209 may also be in the same smooth concave surface or the same smooth convex surface or in another relatively smooth light output surface capable of meeting the requirement of projection imaging, and besides the arrangement manner of the pixel units 209 shown in fig. 3, other arrangement manners may also be adopted, for example, two adjacent pixel units 209 are arranged in the shape of an equilateral triangle, in short, the arrangement manner only needs to meet the requirement of imaging.
The micro-coupling lens in the micro-coupling lens group 205 may be an aspheric lens, besides a spherical lens group, or the output end of the pixel unit 209 may be ablated to be spherical, so as to have a function of increasing a divergence angle, and thus the micro-coupling lens group 205 may be omitted. Besides the micro liquid crystal modulator, the modulator 206 may also employ a volume Bragg Grating (Vo1ume Bragg Grating), which all achieve the corresponding modulation effect.
