The specific embodiment is as follows:
as shown in fig. 1 to 6, the high-efficiency illumination system for an LCD projector provided in this embodiment includes an LED light source 1, a condensing device 2, a collimating lens 3, a quarter-wave plate 4, a brightness enhancement polarizer 5, an LCD light valve 6, a field lens 7, and a projection lens 8, which are sequentially arranged in the light traveling direction.
In this embodiment, the light condensing device 2 is a hollow square cone light condenser.
The brightness-enhanced polarizer 5 can be equivalent to a flat spectroscope, and realizes light splitting of natural light (equivalent to two linearly polarized lights with equal amplitude and orthogonal vibration planes), namely, the transmission and reflection of the two polarized lights are realized, and the light splitting effect is generated.
Referring to fig. 1-2 and fig. 4, when the professional software simulation is performed in the present embodiment, the size of the light emitting area of the LED light source 1 is set to 18.36 × 10.56mm, 45 light emitting wafers 102 of 40mil are uniformly distributed, and the total luminous flux is 9018Lm (lumens); the light condensing device 2 adopts a hollow square cone light condenser, the size of an incident port is 18.36x10.56mm, the size of an emergent port is 107.6x63.6mm, the length along an optical axis is 140mm, and the reflectivity of the inner wall is 100%; the collimating lens 3 is a plano-convex lens with a central thickness of 32, the material is QK2 (China), the spherical radius of the convex surface is 82.65, and the convex surface faces the LCD light valve 6; the quarter-wave plate 4 and the brightening type polaroid 5 are integrated on a piece of glass with the thickness of 0.5, the glass material K9L (China) is adopted, the incident surface of the glass is the quarter-wave plate 4, the emergent surface of the glass is the brightening type polaroid 5, the position of the incident surface of the glass is 0.1mm away from the peak of the emergent surface of the collimating lens 3, and the included angle between the fast axis of the quarter-wave plate 4 and the transmission axis of the brightening type polaroid 5 is 45 degrees; the LCD light valve 6 is a 4.5 inch light valve with a window size 101 x 56.8mm, 11mm from the exit face apex of the collimating lens 3, and a "surface receptor" is placed on the entrance face of the LCD light valve 6, and an "angular luminance meter" is placed on the "surface receptor". The success of this embodiment is shown in table 1 below:
table 1 effect demonstration of the present embodiment
The first row in table 1 shows the prior art projector output luminous flux of 325 Lm.
The second row in table 1 shows the technique of the present embodiment, and the projector output light flux amount is 625 Lm.
Therefore, the embodiment really realizes that the illumination efficiency of the projector is remarkably improved (by 1.92 times), and the projector outputs the same brightness compared with the prior art, can greatly save the power consumption, and is positively helpful for reducing the manufacturing and user experience aspects such as the volume, the noise, the heat dissipation, the cost and the like of the projector.
Fig. 3 shows the process of converting polarized light in this embodiment, after passing through the light condensing device 2, any light W emitted from the light emitting wafer 102 disposed in the light emitting region of the LED light source 1 passes through the quarter-wave plate 4 to reach the brightness enhancement polarizer 5 for polarized light separation. One path of polarized light P useful for the LCD light valve 6 is transmitted, and one path of polarized light S not useful for the LCD light valve 6 is reflected back and passes through the quarter-wave plate 4, and passes through the quarter-wave plate 4 again after being reflected by the reflective film 101. At this time, after the polarized light S passes through the quarter-wave plate 4 twice in succession, the polarization plane is rotated by 90 ° to P1, thereby passing through the brightness enhancement polarizer 5 for the LCD light valve 6.
Since any position of the light-emitting region on the LED light source 1 satisfies the etendue of the system, even if the light is reflected by the reflective film 101 and enters the light-gathering device 2 again and reaches the LCD light valve 6, the etendue does not overflow significantly, so that it can be utilized by the system.

The choice of the gap size L, in addition to being in a certain relationship with H, should be combined with the desired luminous flux output by the LED light source 1, the required luminous flux of the projector, and the limitations of the projector lens 8 and the LCD light valve 6 on the etendue of the light emitting area of the light source, and the length and width dimensions, efficiency, etc. of the light emitting chip 102, in order to be economical, efficient, and reasonable. For example, in a defined light emitting region, the number of the light emitting chips 102 is much arranged, the total luminous flux of the LED light source 1 is large, but the polarized light conversion efficiency is low, the output brightness of the projector is high, and the energy consumption is high; when the number of the light emitting chips 102 is properly arranged, the total luminous flux of the LED light source 1 may be much smaller, but the polarization conversion efficiency is high, the output brightness of the projector is high, and the energy consumption and the cost are much lower.

FIG. 6 is several exemplary illumination data for a surface receiver on the incident surface of the LCD light valve 6 that can be used to quantify the uniformity of the projected image for the illumination profile of FIG. 5. In general, the serious optical design and fabrication, the goodness of fit of actual results and design is extremely high.
