General common liquid-crystal projecting displaying device has single-lens formula and three-lens formula, wherein single-lens formula has the compact and characteristic that can be convenient to carry of volume, but because of back focal length can't go out large tracts of land at the short distance inner projection, and associated components such as employed camera lens and spectroscope must be very high to the requirement of quality, precision, causes cost to improve.Though and the three-lens formula accounts for volume, can go out large tracts of land than the short distance inner projection and can have preferable image quality.
The liquid-crystal projecting displaying device of no matter single-lens or three-lens, all the white light that a projecting lamp is introduced must be isolated in design and can synthesize first of described white light, the second and the 3rd coloured light, by three default light valves described coloured light is carried out modulation respectively, therefore the path of being passed through by isolated three coloured light of described white light must be inequality, as for three coloured light behind the modulation, be with difference single-lens or the three-lens design, and in single-lens design, three coloured light are synthesized and send, or in the three-lens design, three coloured light are projected on the same projection screen to do video picture via three different camera lenses respectively by single camera lens projection video picture.
With regard to single-lens liquid-crystal projecting displaying device in the past, though it is existing at present different at making path that each coloured light is passed through, but the total kilometres in path that each coloured light is passed through distance all equates the design of (abbreviating aplanatism as to call in the following text), as No. 5644432 patent of invention of the U.S. be, in addition, company such as IBM, JVC also develops aplanatic single-lens liquid-crystal projecting displaying device.Because the relevant design of the single-lens formula liquid-crystal projecting displaying device of described light path illumination is not an improvement theme of the present invention, therefore no longer describes in detail at this.
In addition, for the discussion of three-lens liquid-crystal projecting displaying device in the past, do not see yet that at present each coloured light has aplanatic design, this type of does not have the visible three-lens projection display equipment 1 as shown in Figure 1 of aplanatic design, it is the light that a projecting lamp 11 is projected, roughly pass through a light filter 12 earlier with ultraviolet ray in the light and infrared ray filtering, only allow white light pass through, and via after oblique in regular turn forward every two spectroscopes of establishing 131,132 and one catoptron 133 deals with in advance, and at described spectroscope 131,132 with catoptron 133 in a side towards projecting lamp 11, dispose one respectively and extend lens 141,142,143, by described spectroscope 131,132 with catoptron 133 white light is isolated first in regular turn, second, the 3rd coloured light is (as indigo plant, green, red light), make each coloured light pass through condenser 151 respectively via different paths toward homonymy, 152,153 with Polarizer 161,162, after 163, projection enters first, second, the 3rd light valve 171,172,173 to carry out modulation, and each light valve 171,172,173 arrange in pairs or groups respectively at light output direction of all kinds is provided with corresponding camera lens 181,182,183, make each camera lens 181,182,183 by same planar projective go out behind the modulation each coloured light and on a projection screen 19 resultant image.Be separated as for described white light in the light path of specifically passing through of each coloured light, because the light that projecting lamp 11 is projected arrives at oblique every the spectroscope of establishing 131 back to front, spectroscope 132, the distance of catoptron 133 is near and far, and it is oblique every the spectroscope of establishing 131, spectroscope 132, catoptron 133 and first, second, the 3rd light valve 171,172,173 distance all equates, make aforementioned by white light institute isolated first, second, the 3rd coloured light arrives at each light valve 171 respectively from projecting lamp 11,172,173 and each camera lens 181,182,183 light path, be that first coloured light is the shortest, second coloured light is placed in the middle, the 3rd coloured light is the longest, therefore design is gone up for adapting to the light path difference of each coloured light, just at described spectroscope 131,132 dispose respectively towards projecting lamp 11 1 sides with catoptron 133 and to extend lens 141,142,143.
Relevant for the three-lens projection display equipment of the non-in the past aplanatism illumination that is disclosed among described Fig. 1, be simple synoptic diagram, other associated component is in fact still arranged, for example integral mirror, polar biased photoconverter (P/S converter) etc. do not explain at this.
The three-lens liquid-crystal projecting displaying device of described non-in the past aplanatism illumination, its existing shortcoming is three condensers 151,152,153 and inequality, and must dispose three different extension lens 141,142,143, so the employed assembly kind of single unit system is many.In addition, the setting of described extension lens 141,142,143, on light valve, be easy to generate field of illumination 191 as shown in Figure 2, should be normal square field of illumination originally, therefore necessity of improvement arranged but because of the malformation aberration in four corners causes uneven illumination even.
