Description
Technical Field

Background
Recently, projection apparatuses mainly including solid-state light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (laser diodes) have been in the market. Generally, the excitation light of these solid-state light sources is converted by the wavelength conversion material on the wavelength conversion module in the projection apparatus to generate converted light with different colors. In order to meet the requirement of color expression, a light filtering module is disposed on the rear section of the light path of the projection device, and the converted light on the wavelength conversion module filters out predetermined color light after passing through the light filtering module. The color lights are modulated by the light valve to project the image beam to the outside.
Specifically, in recent years, a light emitting unit of a Multi-color Laser (MCL) technology is more applied to a mainstream model of a projection apparatus (for example, a model with a luminous flux of about 2000 to 5000 lumens). Generally, when the light emitting units of the hybrid laser source technology are applied to the aforementioned models of projection apparatuses, the target brightness can be achieved by the number of the light emitting units being about 1 to 2.

Therefore, the space requirement of the light combining optical path design in the projection device is increased, and the space design requirement of the configuration modes of circuit connection, mechanism fixation, heat dissipation heat pipe connection and the like in the composite laser light source technology is changed correspondingly, so as to take the whole optical, circuit and heat transfer efficiency into consideration. Therefore, the overall device is not easy to reduce in size, and the design difficulty of the related optical path design and mechanism configuration is increased.
The background section is provided to aid in understanding the invention and therefore it is intended that all matter contained in the background section or disclosed herein may not be interpreted as constituting prior art with regard to the disclosed invention. The statements in the background section do not represent the contents or the problems which may be solved by one or more embodiments of the present invention, but are understood or appreciated by those skilled in the art before filing the present application.

Fig. 2C is a front view of the light source module of fig. 1. Fig. 3A and 3C are schematic diagrams of different configurations of the first laser light source unit and the second laser light source unit of fig. 2A. Fig. 3B is a perspective view of each laser light source unit of fig. 2A. Fig. 3D is a schematic diagram of an architecture of the first light combining unit or the second light combining unit in fig. 2A. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2A to 2C, in the present embodiment, the light source module 100 is used for providing the laser beam 50 (shown in fig. 1), and includes a plurality of laser light source units 110, a first light combining unit 120, a second light combining unit 130, and a focusing lens 140.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 2A to 2C, in the present embodiment, the plurality of laser light source units 110 include a first laser light source unit 111, a second laser light source unit 112, a third laser light source unit 113, and a fourth laser light source unit 114 (hereinafter, the laser light source unit LU is used when common features of the first laser light source unit 111, the second laser light source unit 112, the third laser light source unit 113, and the fourth laser light source unit 114 are explained). For example, in the present embodiment, the Laser source unit LU may be a Multi-color Laser (MCL).
Referring to fig. 3A to 3C, in the present embodiment, the laser light source unit LU may include a plurality of light emitting elements LE arranged along an arrangement direction DA, wherein the light emitting elements LE on the same row are connected in series. Taking fig. 3B as an example, the same row has 5 light emitting elements LE, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, there are a plurality of pins PN beside the laser light source unit LU to receive the signals from the circuit board.
Also, as shown in fig. 2B, in the present embodiment, the first laser light source unit 111, the second laser light source unit 112, the third laser light source unit 113 and the fourth laser light source unit 114 are used to provide the first laser light beam 50L1, the second laser light beam 50L2, the third laser light beam 50L3 and the fourth laser light beam 50L4, respectively. In the present embodiment, the light emitting elements LE included in the first laser light source unit 111, the second laser light source unit 112, the third laser light source unit 113, and the fourth laser light source unit 114 may be the same or different laser diodes, and the first laser beam 50L1, the second laser beam 50L2, the third laser beam 50L3, and the fourth laser beam 50L4 may be monochromatic blue laser beams, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first laser beam 50L1, the second laser beam 50L2, the third laser beam 50L3, and the fourth laser beam 50L4 may also include laser beams of multiple colors, so as to increase brightness and provide rich color representation, thereby improving the quality of the image.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 2A to 2C, in the present embodiment, the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 face the focusing lens 140, the first laser light beam 50L1 and the second laser light beam 50L2 are respectively incident on the focusing lens 140 along the first direction D1, and the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 are arranged along the second direction D2, and when viewed along the third direction D3, the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 do not overlap. In other words, the projection of the first laser light source unit 111 in the second direction D2 does not overlap the projection of the second laser light source unit 112 in the second direction D2. Also, as shown in fig. 3A, the first laser light source unit 111 includes a first side region RS1, the second laser light source unit 112 includes a second side region RS2, and the first side region RS1 overlaps the second side region RS2 when viewed in the second direction D2. In other words, the projection of the first side region RS1 on the third direction D3 overlaps the projection of the second side region RS2 on the third direction D3.
In more detail, for convenience of describing the directions of the components or structures in the light source module 100, as shown in fig. 2B to 2C, a rectangular coordinate system is defined below, wherein the rectangular coordinate system uses the center of the focusing lens 140 as an origin O, the x-axis of the rectangular coordinate system is substantially parallel to the second direction D2, the y-axis of the rectangular coordinate system is substantially parallel to the third direction D3, and the z-axis of the rectangular coordinate system is substantially parallel to the first direction D1. That is, in the present embodiment, the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3 are perpendicular to each other. The rectangular coordinate system described above is only a coordinate system with reference to the attached drawings. Accordingly, the coordinate terminology used is for the purpose of description and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
As shown in fig. 3A, in the present embodiment, the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 may be closely arranged in a staggered manner in the second direction D2 or arranged in a staggered manner in a tolerance range. For example, in the present embodiment, the shortest distance D1 between the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 in the second direction D2 is less than or equal to 2 mm. In this way, the system volume can be reduced and assembly tolerances avoided.
On the other hand, as shown in fig. 2A to 2C and 3A, the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 are located on the same side of the same plane P. The first direction D1 is perpendicular to the plane P, and the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are parallel to the plane P. Thus, the arrangement of the heat dissipation module TM1 and the heat dissipation module TM2 can be facilitated. For example, in the present embodiment, the first laser source unit 111 and the second laser source unit 112 are disposed on the same substrate or on the surface of other elements (e.g., the heat sink module TM1, the heat sink module TM 2). Thus, the heat dissipation modules TM1 and TM2 can be easily installed.
Further, in the present embodiment, the heat dissipation module TM1 and the heat dissipation module TM2 may be connected to the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 respectively, and are disposed behind the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 respectively. Furthermore, as shown in fig. 3A, the heat dissipation module TM1 and the heat dissipation module TM2 respectively have a plurality of heat pipes HP, and the heat pipes HP extend along an extending direction DE. In the present embodiment, the arrangement direction DA of the light emitting elements LE may be parallel to the extending direction DE of the heat pipe HP, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto.
Further, as shown in fig. 3A, the first laser light source unit 111 includes a first fixing portion 111F, and the second laser light source unit 112 includes a second fixing portion 112F. More specifically, the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 are respectively fixed on the heat sink module TM1 and the heat sink module TM2 by the arrangement of the first fixing portion 111F and the second fixing portion 112F. For example, the first fixing portion 111F and the second fixing portion 112F may be screws, so that the first laser source unit 111 and the second laser source unit 112 are respectively locked to the heat sink module TM1 and the heat sink module TM 2.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3A, in the present embodiment, the arrangement regions of the heat pipe HP of the heat dissipation module TM1 and the heat pipe HP of the heat dissipation module TM2 need to avoid the first fixing portion 111F and the second fixing portion 112F, so as to avoid affecting the arrangement of the mechanism. More specifically, the heat pipe HP of the heat dissipation module TM1 is located below the first fixing portion 111F, and the heat pipe HP of the heat dissipation module TM2 is located above the second fixing portion 112F. In other words, in the present embodiment, the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 have the independent heat sink module TM1, the independent heat sink module TM2, and the heat pipe HP thereof. Thus, compared to the conventional heat pipe in which two laser light source units are arranged side by side and share the same heat sink module, the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112 can respectively dissipate heat to different sides through the independent heat sink modules TM1 and TM2, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
On the other hand, as shown in fig. 3A, the first anchor 111F is located in the first side region RS1, and the second anchor 112F is located in the second side region RS2, in other words, a projection of the first anchor 111F and the second anchor 112F in the third direction D3 is located on the overlapping region RO shown in fig. 3A. Thus, when viewed along the second direction D2, the first fixing portion 111F and the second fixing portion 112F substantially overlap in the third direction D3, so that the system size can be further reduced. For example, as shown in fig. 3A, the center line of the first fixing portion 111F and the center line of the second fixing portion 112F are preferably aligned in the third direction D3, i.e., the shortest distance between the projection of the center line of the first fixing portion 111F in the third direction D3 and the projection of the center line of the second fixing portion 112F in the third direction D3 is 0. Therefore, the system volume can be reduced, and the configuration area of the heat pipe HP can be maximized, so that the heat dissipation efficiency can be considered at the same time, but the utility model discloses do not use this as the limit. For example, as shown in fig. 3C, the first fixing portion 111F and the second fixing portion 112F may be slightly misaligned, and still achieve a similar heat dissipation effect. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3C, the shortest distance D2 between the center line of the first fixing portion 111F and the center line of the second fixing portion 112F in the third direction D3 is not more than 8 mm. Thus, the system volume can be further reduced.
Next, as shown in fig. 2B to 2C, the third laser light source unit 113 faces one side of the second direction D2, and the fourth laser light source unit 114 faces the other side of the second direction D2. More specifically, the third laser light source unit 113 faces the direction of the negative X axis, and the fourth laser light source unit 114 faces the direction of the positive X axis, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the arrangement directions of the third laser light source unit 113 and the fourth laser light source unit 114 may be opposite.
As shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the first light combining unit 120 is disposed corresponding to the first laser light source unit 111 and the fourth laser light source unit 114, wherein the first light combining unit 120 has a first transmissive region TR1 and a first reflective region RR 1. The second light combining unit 130 is disposed corresponding to the second laser light source unit 112 and the third laser light source unit 113, wherein the second light combining unit 130 has a second transmission region TR2 and a second reflection region RR 2. For example, in the present embodiment, the first reflection region RR1 of the first light combining unit 120 and the second reflection region RR2 of the second light combining unit 130 are formed by a reflection substrate or a substrate coated with a high reflection coating. On the other hand, the first transmission region TR1 of the first light combining unit 120 is substantially a region located below the first outer frame 121 where no optical element is disposed, and the second transmission region TR2 of the second light combining unit 130 is substantially a region located above the second outer frame 132 where no optical element is disposed. The first transmissive region TR1 and the second transmissive region TR2 shown in fig. 2A by dotted lines are used for comparison of their positions in the figure, and do not mean that an optical element is disposed therein.
As shown in fig. 3D, in the present embodiment, the first light combining unit 120 may further include a first outer frame 121 selectively, the first outer frame 121 surrounds the first reflection region RR1, and the second light combining unit 130 may also include a second outer frame 132 selectively, the second outer frame 132 surrounds the second reflection region RR 2. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first frame 121 and the second frame 132 mainly have functions of adjusting the angles and positions of the first light combining unit 120 and the second light combining unit 130 relative to the laser light source units LU. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first frame 121 and the second frame 132 can be connected to each other through an actuator, so that the first light combining unit 120 and the second light combining unit 130 can be adjusted from the top and bottom simultaneously or from the back. For example, the included angles between the first light combining unit 120 and the fourth laser light source unit 114 and between the second light combining unit 130 and the third laser light source unit 113 are preferably 45 degrees, respectively, so that a good light receiving efficiency can be achieved
Under the above configuration, as shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the first transmissive region TR1 is located on the transmission path of the first laser beam 50L1, the second transmissive region TR2 is located on the transmission path of the second laser beam 50L2, and the first laser beam 50L1 and the second laser beam 50L2 penetrate through the first transmissive region TR1 and the second transmissive region TR2, respectively, and are incident on the focusing lens 140 along the first direction D1. On the other hand, the first reflection region RR1 is located on the transmission path of the fourth laser beam 50L4, the fourth laser beam 50L4 is transmitted to the focusing lens 140 via the first reflection region RR1, the second reflection region RR2 is located on the transmission path of the third laser beam 50L3, and the third laser beam 50L3 is transmitted to the focusing lens 140 via the second reflection region RR 2.
Further, as shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the focusing lens 140 is located on the transmission paths of the first laser beam 50L1, the second laser beam 50L2, the third laser beam 50L3 and the fourth laser beam 50L 4. The first, second, third, and fourth laser beams 50L1, 50L2, 50L3, and 50L4 are incident on the first, second, third, and fourth regions of the light incident surface of the focusing lens 140, respectively, and the projection positions of the first, second, third, and fourth regions on the rectangular coordinate plane with the center of the focusing lens 140 as the origin O are located in the first, second, third, and fourth quadrants of the rectangular coordinate plane, respectively. For example, in the present embodiment, the first area, the second area, the third area and the fourth area are respectively a third quadrant, a first quadrant, a fourth quadrant and a second quadrant of the rectangular coordinate plane. Thus, the first laser beam 50L1, the second laser beam 50L2, the third laser beam 50L3 and the fourth laser beam 50L4 can be uniformly incident on each region of the light incident surface of the focusing lens 140, and the light receiving efficiency is improved. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, a person skilled in the art can adjust the first laser beam 50L1, the second laser beam 50L2, the third laser beam 50L3, and the fourth laser beam 50L4 to be incident on the regions of the light incident surface of the focusing lens 140 respectively according to actual requirements, so as to make the regions correspond to other positions of the rectangular coordinate plane. Thus, after passing through the focusing lens 140, the first laser beam 50L1, the second laser beam 50L2, the third laser beam 50L3 and the fourth laser beam 50L4 form the laser beam 50, and are incident on the subsequent optical module.
For example, as shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the wavelength conversion module PM may be located on a transmission path of the laser beam 50 for receiving the laser beam 50. Also, the wavelength conversion module PM includes a wavelength conversion region (not shown) and a non-conversion region (not shown). The wavelength conversion module PM further includes a first driving device (not shown) adapted to make the wavelength conversion region (not shown) and the non-conversion region (not shown) enter the irradiation range of the laser beam 50 correspondingly at different times. Specifically, when the laser beam 50 is incident on the wavelength conversion region of the wavelength conversion module PM, the wavelength-converted beam 60Y of the illumination system LS may be formed via the wavelength conversion region. In the present embodiment, the wavelength-converted light beam 60Y is, for example, yellow light. When the laser beam 50 is incident on the non-conversion region of the wavelength conversion module PM, it can be transmitted to the subsequent optical module through the wavelength conversion module PM.
As shown in fig. 1, the filter module FM is located on the transmission path of the excitation beam 50 and the wavelength conversion beam 60Y, and has a filter region (not shown) and a light-transmitting region (not shown). The filter module FM further includes a second driving device (not shown) adapted to make the filter region (not shown) enter the irradiation range of the wavelength conversion light beam 60Y at different times, so as to form a red color light and a green color light by filtering, for example. On the other hand, the light-transmitting regions (not shown) also enter the irradiation range of the excitation light beam 50 transmitted to the filter module FM at different times, so that the excitation light beam 50 passes through to form a blue light. Thus, the excitation light beam 50 and the wavelength-converted light beam 60Y can be sequentially converted into the illumination light beams 70 with different colors.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the lighting system LS may further optionally include an auxiliary light source AL. The auxiliary light source AL is configured to emit an auxiliary light beam 60R, and a wavelength band of the auxiliary light beam 60R at least partially overlaps with a wavelength band of the wavelength-converted light beam 60Y. For example, in the present embodiment, the auxiliary light source AL is, for example, a red laser light source or a red led light source, and the auxiliary light beam 60R is red light. As shown in fig. 1, the filter module FM is also located on the transmission path of the auxiliary light beam 60R. Moreover, the light-transmitting area (not shown) also enters the irradiation range of the auxiliary light beam 60R transmitted to the filter module FM at different times, so that the auxiliary light beam 60R passes through to form red light. In this way, the illumination system LS can increase the proportion of red light in the illumination light beam 70 by the configuration of the auxiliary light source AL, so as to improve the red color representation of the projection image.
On the other hand, as shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the projection apparatus 200 further includes a light uniformizing element LH disposed on the transmission path of the excitation light beam 50 and the wavelength conversion light beam 60Y. In the embodiment, the light-homogenizing element LH includes an integrating rod, but the invention is not limited thereto. In more detail, as shown in fig. 1, when the light beam is transmitted to the light uniformizing element LH via the illumination system LS, the light uniformizing element LH may uniformize the excitation light beam 50 and the wavelength-converted light beam 60Y and transmit the illumination light beam 70 to the light valve 210.
Then, as shown in fig. 1, the light valve 210 is located on the transmission path of the illumination beam 70 and is adapted to convert the illumination beam 70 into the image beam 80. The projection lens 220 is located on the transmission path of the image beam 80 and is adapted to project the image beam 80 onto a screen or a wall (not shown) to form an image frame. After the illumination beam 70 is converged on the light valve 210, the light valve 210 sequentially converts the illumination beam 70 into the image beam 80 and transmits the image beam 80 to the projection lens 220, so that the image frame projected by the image beam 80 converted by the light valve 210 is displayed.
In this way, in the embodiment, the projection apparatus 200 and the light source module 100 can be disposed on the same plane by the staggered arrangement of the first laser light source unit 111 and the second laser light source unit 112, and have the independent heat dissipation module TM1, the independent heat dissipation module TM2, and the independent heat pipe HP thereof, so as to achieve the small volume and the simple optical path design of the projection apparatus 200 and the illumination system LS, and simultaneously achieve the heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, the projection apparatus 200 and the light source module 100 can make the first laser beam 50L1, the second laser beam 50L2, the third laser beam 50L3 and the fourth laser beam 50L4 uniformly incident on each region of the light incident surface of the focusing lens 140 by the arrangement of the first light combining unit 120 and the second light combining unit 130, so as to improve the light receiving efficiency and further make the illumination beam 70 have good color expression.
