Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the light utilization factor of a light beam radiated toward the outside among direct light beams which are not reflected by a reflector, and also to obtain a video having no brightness gradient between the center and the periphery of the video. CONSTITUTION:A doughnut-like lens 30 is provided between the reflector 12 and a body 14 to be irradiated. A conventional loss light beam being the direct light beam from a lamp valve 11 and radiated toward the outside of the body 14 to be irradiated is condensed in the body 14 through the lens part 31 of a ring-like convex lens constituting the lens 30, and becomes an effective light beam. A luminous flux is condensed only on the periphery of the body 14 by the condensed effective light beam, and peripheral light quantity ratio is apparently improved. The light utilization factor is drastically improved in comparison with the case that a light condensing means consisting only of the reflector 12 is used. The uniformity of the illuminance of the body 14 is improved by appropriately setting optical arrangement, and the uniformity of the brightness of the projected video is improved.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of a transmissive image projection apparatus (slide projector, liquid crystal projector, etc.). In FIG. 3, a light beam from a light source 10 is condensed by a condenser lens 13 and is projected on a screen 16 via an image source 14 as an irradiated object such as a film or liquid crystal and a projection lens 15. Since the image projected on the screen 16 is often a large screen, the light source 10 is required to have a large power. However, simply using a device having a large power causes problems such as an increase in power consumption and an abnormal rise in temperature. Therefore, it is important to improve the utilization rate of the light source 10 having a small power as much as possible.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, it is a general means to install a parabolic reflector 12 after the lamp bulb 11 to obtain parallel reflected light. With this reflector 12 alone, as shown by the hatched portion A in FIG. 4, much of the direct light that is not reflected is emitted to the outside,
This becomes lost light. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a spherical reflector 21 having the lamp bulb 11 as a center point is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the reflector 12, and the spherical reflector 21 is provided.
Therefore, the light source 10 collects the light in the center of the lamp bulb 11 and transmits or reflects the lamp bulb 11 to be reused as a secondary light source. In addition, as the reflector 12, there is one in which a spheroidal mirror or a lens is combined instead of the paraboloid.

However, the light collected by the spherical reflector 21 at the center of the lamp bulb 11 is scattered by the outer peripheral surface of the lamp bulb 11 and the light emitting portion and is emitted from the lamp bulb 11. However, there is a problem in that it is not the case and is far from the theoretical improvement of the light utilization rate. Further, in FIG. 3, in the illumination using the simple optical system, a decrease in the peripheral brightness with respect to the center brightness of the shaded portion C, that is, a decrease in the peripheral light amount ratio is unavoidable, which causes a problem that a remarkable brightness gradient occurs in the projected image. there were.

The conventional lost light, which is the direct light from the lamp bulb 11 and is emitted to the outside of the irradiated body 14, is irradiated by the lens portion 31 of the ring-shaped convex lens forming the donut-shaped lens 30 by the irradiated body 14. It is condensed inside and becomes an effective ray. The collected effective light beam has a donut shape, and if the positional relationship between the light source 10 and the irradiation target 14 is properly set, the light flux can be condensed only around the irradiation target 14, The peripheral light amount ratio is improved. That is, the uniformity of the brightness of the projected image is improved. Therefore, it is possible to significantly improve the light utilization rate as compared with the light condensing means using only the reflector 12.
