Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As the wavelength of the laser light becomes longer, the coherence of the laser light becomes stronger, and the speckle phenomenon (granular bright spots appearing on the surface of the object irradiated with the laser light) is more likely to occur. Illustratively, red and green light with longer wavelengths are more prone to speckle. Currently, when laser light is used as a light source for a laser projector, the speckle phenomenon seriously affects the imaging quality of the laser projector.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a driving method of a light source device, and a laser projector, which can solve the problems in the related art.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment of some embodiments of the present invention, which may include a light path device 10, a light source device 20, and an optical engine illumination device 30. The implementation environment may be a laser projector including a bi-color light source.
The light source device 20 is used for providing a laser light source, and the light path device 10 is used for modulating the laser light emitted by the light source device 20 and inputting the laser light into the optical-mechanical lighting device 30, wherein the modulation process may include laser light emitted by the laser light source and other colors of light excited by the laser light, and selection of different colors of light. The optical-mechanical lighting device 30 is used for outputting the light modulated by the optical path device.
The light path device 10 may include a lens assembly 11, a reflector assembly 12, a first light combiner 131, a second light combiner 132, a fluorescent wheel 14, a color filter wheel 15, and a light uniformizing element 16, and the light source device 20 may include a first light source 21 and a second light source 22.
The light emitted from the second light source 22 is reflected by the lens assembly 11 and the reflector assembly 12, and then passes through the two light combining mirrors (131 and 132), the color filter wheel 15 and the light homogenizing element 16, and then enters the optical machine illumination device 30. Alternatively, the light emitted by the second light source 22 may be red laser light or green laser light with a longer wavelength, and in this example, the second light source 22 emits red laser light. The second light source 22 may include at least two second laser assemblies.
The light emitted from the first light source 21 may be used to excite fluorescence of other colors, and optionally, the light emitted from the first light source 21 may be blue laser with a shorter wavelength. The fluorescent wheel can be excited by blue laser to emit green fluorescence and/or yellow fluorescence (yellow light is used to increase the overall brightness of the light). The first light source 21 may comprise at least one first laser assembly.
The light combining mirror 132 transmits the red laser light and reflects the blue laser light, and the light combining mirror 131 transmits the blue laser light and the red laser light and reflects light of other colors, such as green fluorescence and yellow fluorescence. The fluorescent wheel 14 may include a light-transmitting region, and a fluorescent region, which may include a fluorescent region for exciting a third color light (a region where a fluorescent material that can be excited to emit the third color light is disposed on the substrate) and a fluorescent region for exciting a fourth color light (a region where a fluorescent material that can be excited to emit the fourth color light is disposed on the substrate). In this example, two phosphor zones, a third phosphor zone and a fourth phosphor zone, are provided on the phosphor wheel. According to the principle of white light synthesis, the luminescent wheel may also be provided with only one luminescent region for emitting light of a color other than the three primary colors of the first light source and the second light source, thereby forming a three primary color light source.
The first color light entering the optical engine lighting device 30 is the laser emitted by the first light source 21, which passes through the lens assembly 11, the light combining mirror 131, the light transmitting area of the fluorescent wheel 14, the reflection of the reflecting mirror assembly 12, the reflection of the light combining mirror 132, the transmission of the light combining mirror 131, the transmission of the lens assembly 11, the light homogenization by the light homogenizing element 16 after being filtered by the color filter wheel 15, and then enters the optical engine lighting device 30. The first color light may be a blue laser.
The third color light or the fourth color light entering the optical engine lighting device 30 may be laser emitted by the first light source 21, which passes through the lens assembly 11, passes through the light combining mirror 131, irradiates onto the fluorescent material on the fluorescent wheel 14, irradiates onto the fluorescent material of the third color light or the fluorescent material of the fourth color light, excites the fluorescent material of the third color light or the fluorescent material of the fourth color light to generate the third color light or the fourth color light, the generated color light is reflected by the substrate of the fluorescent wheel 14, is reflected by the light combining mirror 131, passes through the lens assembly 11, filters the green fluorescent light or the yellow fluorescent light by the color filter wheel 15, is homogenized by the light homogenizing element 16, and enters the optical engine lighting device 30.
Fig. 1 shows a light source architecture of a laser projection device, comprising two-color laser light sources, such as a blue laser and a red laser. In a primary color light output period, when each primary color is output in time sequence, the red light is output when the red laser light source (which may be the second light source 22) is turned on, and the first light source 21 is not turned on; and when green, yellow or blue light is output, the first light source 21 is lit and the second light source 22 is not lit.
And, the fluorescent wheel 14 is provided with a green fluorescent powder region and a yellow fluorescent powder region, and when the green fluorescent light or the yellow fluorescent light needs to be output, the blue laser light source needs to be kept on and irradiated to the green fluorescent powder region or the yellow fluorescent powder region.
The first laser module 21 included in the light source device 20 of the laser projector according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of laser modules for emitting the first color light, and the driving currents of the plurality of laser modules may be the same, and the driving currents of the plurality of light sources for emitting the first color light may be the same or different when the laser projector outputs the respective colors of green, blue, yellow, and the like.
The light source device 20 of the laser projector according to the embodiment of the present invention may include at least two second laser assemblies 22 (the second laser assemblies may be configured to emit red laser light or green laser light), and driving currents of the at least two second laser assemblies are different and may be controlled independently, so that the at least two second laser assemblies may generate second color light with at least two different wavelength ranges, for example, a dominant wavelength of the second color light may shift by several nanometers, so as to weaken coherence of the second color light and achieve a speckle reduction effect.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a circuit driving module of the light source device 20 in the laser projector shown in fig. 1, which may include a control module (including a first control module 211 and a second control module 212), a digital-to-analog conversion module 22, a selection module 23, and at least three second laser assemblies 24.
The DMD main control chip 211 may transmit a green light power G _ PWM signal, a blue light power B _ PWM signal, and a yellow light power Y _ PWM. In addition, a red laser light power pulse width modulation signal R1_ PWM signal may also be sent, and the R1_ PWM signal may also be sent by the MCU 212.
The principle of laser-driven light emission is described below:
the brightness of the laser light source may be adjusted by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or analog dimming. The PWM dimming is to intermittently control the on/off of the laser light source, and the brightness of the laser light is adjusted by adjusting the pulse width of the light source lighting time ton in one period, i.e., the duty ratio ton/(ton + toff) in one period, where toff is the pulse width of the light source non-lighting time in one period.
When the pulse width of the light source lighting time ton in one cycle is narrowed, the duty ratio at which the laser light source is lit is lowered to lower the luminance of the laser light source, and when the pulse width of ton is widened to raise the duty ratio, the luminance of the laser light source becomes high. No matter the ton pulse width of the PWM adjustment is narrowed or widened, the amplitude of the light power at which the laser light source is lighted at any time in the ton time is constant, and the light emission luminance of the laser light source is the accumulation of the light flux in the ton on time in one period. Therefore, the brightness of the laser light source is changed in the whole PWM dimming process, but the spectra of the laser light emitted by the laser light source are the same, so the wavelengths of the laser light emitted by the laser light source adjusted by the PWM dimming method are actually the same, the speckle elimination cannot be realized, and it is difficult to adopt the PWM dimming method to eliminate the speckle of the laser light.
Another dimming method is analog dimming, in which a PWM signal sent by a control module (DMD main control chip or MCU) is converted into an optical power analog signal through analog-to-Digital conversion (DAC), and then the optical power analog signal is input into a laser module (or a driving circuit in the laser module), and the optical power PWM signals sent by the control module to light the laser light source are different, so that the analog optical power signals converted to drive the laser light source to emit light are also different, which makes the spectrum of the laser light emitted by the laser light source also different, and thus the wavelength of the light emitted by the laser light source is different.
In summary, the laser source driving control method of analog dimming can be used to realize the speckle dissipation of laser. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention adopts an analog dimming mode to adjust the brightness of the laser output by the second laser assembly.
And the drive control dimming mode of the first laser component can adopt analog dimming or PWM dimming. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid the problems that the PWM dimming method is easy to cause the inductance, the output capacitance, and the like around the driving circuit module in the laser module to generate audible noise to human ears and possibly cause electromagnetic interference, the PWM dimming method has lower accuracy than the analog dimming method, so the driving control dimming method of the first laser light source may also adopt the analog dimming method.
As shown in fig. 2, in the driving control method of the laser light source, the power PWM signals of each primary color light (such as red light, blue light, green light, and yellow light) need to pass through the selection module 23 and the digital-to-analog conversion module 22. The selection module 23 is configured to select which primary light is output, gate and control information such as a start time and a duration of the laser module outputting the primary light.
When the analog dimming mode is implemented, there are two schemes, one is to pass through the selection module 23 and then the DAC22, and the other is to pass through the DAC22 and then the selection module 23.
For the first scenario:
for example, as shown in fig. 3, the waveform of the light power PWM signal for outputting the primary light has a duty ratio ton/(ton + toff) of 1/3 in one period, and the full-scale amplitude is represented by U, so that the effective value (average value) of the PWM signal is 0.33U. After the PWM signal sent by the control module is selected by the selection module, that is, after the PWM signal is logically and-operated with the light output time waveform of the primary light, the light power PWM value of the laser module to be lit within the output time of the primary light in one period is obtained.
As shown in fig. 3, if the primary light output period is the first case q1, that is, the output start time of the primary light starts from the low level of the PWM signal shown in fig. 3, and the selection result is shown in fig. 3 after the selection by the selection module, the light power PWM signal of the laser light source for lighting the primary light in the light output period of the primary light includes only 3 ton pulse widths, and after the digital-to-analog conversion, the PWM analog signal is converted into the dc form, and the value of the PWM analog signal is dc 0.3U as shown in fig. 3.
If the output time period of the primary light is the second case q2, the output starting time of the primary light starts from the high level of the PWM signal in fig. 3, and after the selection by the selection module, the selection result is that the optical power PWM signal of the laser module for lighting the primary light in the optical output time of the primary light includes 4 ton pulse widths, and after digital-to-analog conversion, the optical power PWM signal is converted into a dc PWM analog signal as shown in fig. 3, and the value of the PWM analog signal is dc 0.4U.
In summary, as shown in the example of fig. 3, when the digital-to-analog conversion accuracy is not considered, the PWM analog signal value of the primary color for lighting the laser device in the light output time ranges from 0.3U to 04U depending on the light output start time, and the minimum analog value and the maximum analog value of the optical power signal for lighting the laser device are 0.3U and 0.4U, respectively. Therefore, the total widths of ton pulse widths of the selected PWM signals in the output time are different due to different light output starting times when the PWM signals are selected first, so that the direct current values of the PWM analog signals generated after digital-to-analog conversion are different, and even if the control module sends the same PWM value, the light power signals for finally lighting the laser components are different, and a certain error exists. This error directly affects the light emission luminance of the laser element. Therefore, the scheme of firstly passing through the selection module and then carrying out the digital-to-analog conversion module has certain errors, and the scheme directly influences the precision of the adjustment of the light-emitting brightness of the laser light source.
For the second scheme, the light power PWM signal of the primary light is firstly converted into a direct current value of a PWM analog signal by a digital-analog conversion module, and then the light output time of the primary light is selected by a selection module.
As shown in fig. 4, the light power PWM signals of the primary lights transmitted by the control module are digital signals. The duty ratio ton/(ton + toff) of the waveform of the light power PWM signal of the primary light in one cycle is 1/3, and if the full scale amplitude is U, the effective value of the light power PWM signal of the primary light is 0.33U.
Under the condition of not considering the influence of the digital-to-analog conversion precision, after the DAC is carried out, the analog value of the optical power PWM signal converted into the optical power PWM signal is direct current 0.33U, and the analog value of the optical power PWM signal input to the selection module before the selection of the selection module is already direct current 0.33U.
If the light output time of the primary light is the first case q1, after the selection of the light output time of the primary light by the selection module, that is, after the logical and of the analog dc value 0.33U of the light power PWM signal and the light output time waveform, the selection result is that the analog dc value of the light power PWM signal input to the driving circuit module is 0.33U.
If the light output time of the primary light is q2 in the second case, that is, if the light output time of the primary light starts to be output after a certain time delay from the first case in q2 in the second case, the analog value of the optical power PWM signal input to the selection module is always 0.33U after the selection of the light output time of the primary light by the selection module, and therefore, the analog dc value of the optical power PWM signal input to the laser module is also 0.33U after logical and with the light output time waveform as a result of the selection.
In summary, in both the first case and the second case, the selection result after passing through the selection module is the same, i.e. the selection module is independent of the start time of the light output time of the primary light, so that there is no error in the output value of the light power of the primary light during the selection process by the selection module. Therefore, the second scheme of firstly performing digital-to-analog conversion on the light power PWM signal of the primary light and then selecting the light output time has no errors on the scheme, and the scheme ensures the precision of adjusting the light emitting brightness of the laser component. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention may refer to this second scheme.

The driving method of the light source device may include the steps of:
step 601, a control module sends out a first power signal corresponding to a first color light and at least two second digital power signals corresponding to at least two second color lights respectively.
The control module may include a first control module and a second control module, the first control module may be a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) main control chip in the laser projector, and the second control module may be a Micro Controller Unit (MCU).
In the related art, the laser projector is usually provided with only a digital micromirror device main control chip, and the digital micromirror chip is preset with digital control signals for outputting corresponding color lights, but one color light only corresponds to one digital control signal. In the embodiment of the invention, in order to output the digital control signals of different second color lights, the light source device is additionally provided with the MCU. For the DMD main control chip and the MCU, the driving method of the light source device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include two control modes:
in a first control mode, the first control module is configured to issue a first power signal and the second control module is configured to issue at least two second digital power signals. Namely, the first control module is used for controlling the first laser assembly, and the second control module is used for controlling at least two second laser modules. Illustratively, the first control module is configured to emit power signals for blue, green, and yellow light, and the second control module is configured to emit power signals for at least two red lights. The power signal of any one color light is used for indicating the light intensity of the any one color light.
In a second control mode, the first control module is used for sending out the first power signal and any one of the at least two second digital power signals, and the second control module is used for sending out other second digital power signals except any one of the at least two second digital power signals. Namely, the first control module is used for controlling the first laser assembly and also used for controlling at least two second laser assemblies to emit a second color light. Illustratively, a first control module is used to emit blue, green, yellow and one red power signal, while a second control module is used for the other red power signal. The wavelengths of the different red lights are different.
Alternatively, the number of second laser assemblies may be 3 or 4.
Step 602, converting the at least two second digital power signals into at least two second analog power signals by a digital-to-analog conversion module.
The signal sent by the MCU is typically a digital signal, and in the analog dimming mode, the signal received by the second laser module is an analog signal, so that at least two second digital power signals can be converted into at least two second analog power signals by the DAC module.
The digital-to-analog conversion module may include at least two inputs and at least two outputs, and is configured to convert the second digital power signals corresponding to the at least two second color lights emitted by the MCU into analog power signals.
Optionally, when the PWM dimming manner is used to dim the first laser, the digital power signals of various color lights emitted by the DMD main control chip may be directly input to the selection module 23 without the first analog-to-digital conversion module 221.
And 603, selecting at least two second analog power signals through the selection module to determine the output time and the output duration of the second color light, and obtaining light intensity signals of at least two second color lights.
The selection intensity signal of any second color light comprises an intensity signal of any second color light.
The power signal is used for indicating the brightness of light emitted by the laser assembly, the logic selection of the red light enable signal, the green light enable signal and the blue light enable signal (the power signal only determines the brightness of the laser device, and cannot be controlled) controls the sequential output of red light, green light, blue light and yellow light, and the first logic generation module and the second logic generation module respectively control the starting time and the starting duration of the first laser assembly and the second laser assembly.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 6, this step may include the following 2 sub-steps:
step 6031, a second selection control signal is input to the second selector through the first control module.
The second selector may be controlled by the first controller. The first controller can send out enabling signals of various primary colors of light and control the first selection module through the enabling signals.
As shown in fig. 2, the second selector may receive the analog power signals of at least two second color lights emitted from the second d/a conversion module 222, and the second logic generation module may determine the second selection control signal according to the enable signals of the various primary color lights output by the first controller.
Optionally, the first control module outputs a red light enable signal and a green light output enable signal, and the red light enable signal includes a red light output enable signal and a yellow light output enable signal;
step 6031 may include:
1) determining a second selection control signal according to the red light enable signal and the green light output enable signal;
the first control module is further used for outputting a green light enable signal and a blue light output enable signal, and the green light enable signal comprises a green light output enable signal and a yellow light output enable signal.
When the red light output enable signal is at a low level, the green light output enable signal is at a high level, and the blue light output enable signal is at a low level, the first laser assembly works;
when the red light output enable signal is at a low level, the green light output enable signal is at a low level, and the blue light output enable signal is at a high level, the first laser assembly works;
when the red light output enable signal is at a high level, the green light output enable signal is at a high level, and the blue light output enable signal is at a low level, the first laser assembly works;
when the red light output enable signal is at a high level, the green light output enable signal is at a low level, and the blue light output enable signal is at a low level, the second laser assembly works. The manner of determining the second selection control signal according to the red light enable signal and the green light output enable signal may include the following two:
the first method comprises the following steps: the logic diagram may be as shown in fig. 7.
Performing logical AND operation on the red light enable signal R _ EN and the green light output enable signal G _ EN to obtain a yellow light output enable signal Y _ EN by U2;
inputting a red enable signal into a controllable buffer device U3;
the on and off of the controllable buffer device U3 is controlled by a yellow light output enable signal Y _ EN, when the logical AND operation result is a high level, the controllable buffer device U3 is turned off, and when the logical AND operation result is a low level, the controllable buffer device U3 is turned on;
the output of the controllable buffer device U3 is taken as the second selection control signal.
And the second method comprises the following steps: the logic diagram may be as shown in fig. 8.
Performing logical AND operation on the red light enable signal R _ EN and the green light output enable signal G _ EN to obtain a yellow light output enable signal Y _ EN by U4;
the yellow output enable signal Y _ EN is logically exclusive-ored with the red enable signal R _ EN to obtain a second selection control signal U5.
2) And inputting a second selection control signal into a second selection module.
And 6032, selecting at least two second analog power signals by the second selection module according to the second selection control signal to obtain selection intensity signals of at least two second color lights.
Step 604, selecting the first power signal through the selection module to obtain a first selection signal.
The first selection signal comprises a selection intensity signal of one of at least one color light, and the selection intensity signal of any color light comprises an intensity signal of any color light.
As shown in fig. 9, this step may include the following two steps:
step 6041, a first selection control signal is input to the first selection module through the first control module.
As shown in fig. 10, in one output period of the primary light, the enable signal for each primary light output is active at a high level, and the length of the high level indicates the time for each primary light output in one output period. The green light enable signal G _ EN includes two separated high levels, one high level is a green light output enable signal, the other high level is a yellow light output enable signal, and when the primary light timing is rgb, blue and yellow, the green light G is not adjacent to the yellow light Y in timing, so the green light enable signal G _ EN is two separated high levels.
The high level of the red light enable signal R _ EN also comprises two high levels of a yellow light output enable signal and a red light output enable signal, but because the yellow and red time sequences of the primary light are adjacent, the two high levels of the red light enable signal R _ EN are connected together; the high level of the blue enable signal B _ EN is only the enable signal for the blue output. Whether two high-level logic waveforms generated by the red enable signal and the green enable signal including the yellow enable signal are adjacent or separated depends on the output timing of the system primary light, which is exemplified by the output timing of red, green, blue and yellow, and is not limited herein. When the logic value R _ EN G _ EN B _ EN of the red, green and blue color light enable signal is 100, outputting red light; r _ EN G _ EN B _ EN is 010, and green light is output; r _ EN G _ EN B _ EN is 001, outputting blue light; r _ EN G _ EN B _ EN ═ 110, yellow light is output.
The first logic generating module in fig. 2 is configured to generate a lighting logic signal of the first laser component, where the logic signal controls a lighting start time and a lighting time of the first laser component in a primary light output period to control the first laser component, and when the logic signal is at a high level, the first laser component operates, the first laser component lights, and when the logic signal is at a low level, the first laser component does not operate and the first laser component does not light. When the first laser module emits blue light, the lighting logic generating module of the first laser module is shown in fig. 11, the output of the first logic generating module is a logic signal for lighting the first laser module, and in one primary light output period, green light, blue light and yellow light are all generated or generated by the blue laser light source, so that the blue laser light source is lighted when the green light, the blue light and the yellow light are output, and the blue laser light source is not lighted when only red light is output, so that the logic signal B _ LD for lighting the blue laser light source is a result of the logical exclusive or operation U1 of the green enable signal G _ EN and the blue enable signal B _ EN.
Step 6042, the first selection module selects the first power signal according to the first selection control signal to obtain a first selection signal.
And step 605, inputting the selection intensity signals of the at least two second colored lights into the at least two second laser assemblies.
After obtaining the selection intensity signals of the at least two second color lights, the selection intensity signals may be input to the at least two second laser assemblies to control the at least two second laser assemblies. Therefore, the two laser assemblies are respectively and independently regulated and controlled, and the luminous brightness of each laser assembly can be respectively regulated and controlled from 0 to the maximum luminous power value.
Wherein, any second laser component comprises a driving circuit module and a laser which are connected.
The driving circuit of each laser assembly is controlled to be 2A, 2.8A and 3.3A, and experiments prove that when the current difference is 0.5-0.8A, the difference of the main light-emitting wavelengths can be about 2 nanometers.
Step 606, input the first selection signal into the first laser assembly.
Likewise, a first selection signal may be input to the first laser assembly to control the first laser assembly. Thus, the respective adjustment control of the light emitting brightness of the first laser component from 0 to the maximum light emitting power value is realized.
The first laser assembly comprises a driving circuit module and a laser which are connected.
The driving method of the light source device provided by the embodiment of the invention realizes that the luminance of the multi-path red laser light source is respectively adjusted and controlled from 0 to the maximum luminance power value, and the multi-path red laser light source can realize the respective independent adjustment and control, so that the wavelengths of red lights emitted by the multi-path red laser light source are different, the speckle dissipation of the red laser light source is realized, and the image quality and the high dynamic contrast ratio output by a system are improved.
In summary, in the driving method of the light source apparatus provided in the embodiment of the invention, the first control module and the second control module emit the first power signal corresponding to the first color light and the at least two second digital power signals corresponding to the at least two second color lights, respectively, and the laser brightness of the first laser component and the at least two second laser components is controlled according to the power signals. The at least two second laser assemblies are respectively used for emitting at least two second color lights with different wavelengths, and the coherence effect is weakened because the wavelengths of the different second color lights are different. The speckle phenomenon of the second color light with longer wavelength in the light emitted by the light source device in the related art is weakened, and the problem of lower imaging quality of the light emitted by the light source device is caused. The speckle phenomenon caused by the light coherence effect is avoided, and the light imaging quality is improved.

In the light source device shown in fig. 1, the first color laser module is a blue laser module, and the second color laser module is a red laser module. A driving method and a driving circuit for driving a plurality of red lasers with different driving currents are described, taking the example that the red laser assembly is provided in plurality.
Based on the above inventive concept, the driving circuit and method for multiple lasers with the same color can also be applied to a three-color laser light source device.

The laser light source includes a red laser 133 that emits red laser light, a green laser 132 that emits green laser light, and a blue laser 131 that emits blue laser light.
The red laser light emitted from the red laser 133 may be transmitted to the condenser lens 136 through a dichroic mirror 135. The green laser light emitted from the green laser 131 may be reflected by the reflecting mirror 130 to the other dichroic mirror 134, then reflected by the other dichroic mirror 134 to the one dichroic mirror 135, and then reflected by the one dichroic mirror 135 to the condensing lens 136. The blue laser light emitted from the blue laser 132 may be transmitted to one dichroic mirror 135 through another dichroic mirror 134, and then reflected to a condenser lens 136 through the one dichroic mirror 135. The laser light applied to the condenser lens 136 is condensed by the condenser lens 136 and applied to the diffusion wheel 137.

Thus, the display control circuit 01 can output a dimming signal and an enable control signal to the lasers of different colors through the laser driving circuit 02.
The dimming signal may be a dimming signal corresponding to a plurality of lasers of the same color. The plurality of lasers of the same color are respectively driven by dimming signals of different sizes, for example, a red laser, and the wavelength of the red laser can be shifted by about several nanometers, so that the coherence of the red laser is reduced. Similarly, the above-described driving method can be applied to the green laser.
