Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a projection system, and more particularly to a projection system in which a light source module is processed using a microstructure. [Prior Art], Department, 'first is an electronic display that is widely used in modern life. , the company's merchandise publication or display, school education, cooperation, and hard work, 丨 日 日 、, product marketing and industrial marketing are the main display devices using the projection system as 10 15 . In recent years, due to the maturity and development of liquid crystal k and micron technology, the projection system has not only been mainly developed in large-scale gatherings (4), but the projection system has further extended to the daily life of individuals. For example, the LCD panels that are actively researched and developed by Taiwan's major optoelectronic companies are A Gan, and one of them. In addition, the projection system can be applied to products earlier, personal computers, personal digital assistants, home theaters, digital cameras. , and the role of the game, and the telephone search for various popular areas. It can be seen that the potential of projection systems in modern social activities such as administration, education, is θ A and even personal products is extremely awkward compared to the traditional fe-polar tube 顧 π ”. The current Cantano ~ system design is still not perfect, so that the above-mentioned mirage cannot be achieved or the county Μ田丄 has a limited number of texts, thus limiting the scope of the current projection system can be applied. See Figure 1 and Figure 2. , the sub-μ, the knife is an embodiment of the operation of the Color Sequential Method, and the two embodiments of the method, the embodiment of which includes a light source group 5, a ς ^ Θ ” , a seesaw group 6, and a lens module 7. The light source phase: group 5 is a light body or optical engine commonly known as the industry, 20 1258018 and includes a hairpin, a light homogenizing unit 52, and a color separation unit 53. Wherein, the well includes a projection light that causes the illumination unit to emit: (4) an integration tube 521, and a collection of the illumination unit 51 in the integral. An ellipsoidal mirror 522 near one end of the light-emitting unit 5, and a concentrating mirror group 523 that collects the projected light processed by the integrated shirt 521 to the developing module 6 having a specific size. The color separation unit 53 is a color swatch, which is a commonly known color wheel, and functions to switch the light unit to “light & speed to three primary colors of red, green and blue. The image is sequentially passed through the display ίο 15 杈, and The red, green, and blue projection light of σσ6 is separately modulated into an early color image by the imaging module 6, and is sequentially projected and imaged to the screen by the lens module 7. According to the Television System Committee (NTSC) The specified standard operation, that is, each early color image is only displayed for 5.6 milliseconds, according to the principle of visual persistence, the human r vision system will superimpose the sequential monochrome images into a color scene; The configuration of the other embodiment is similar to the foregoing, except that the sentence light unit 52 uses a parabolic mirror 524 and a lens array 525' which cooperate with each other to cause a uniform light effect on the projected light. Distortion, the condenser lens set 523 of the conventional projection system needs to be composed of a plurality of double concave, double convex, flat concave, or plano-convex lenses to effectively eliminate various chromatic aberrations and imaging aberrations, such as spherical images. Poor, coma, astigmatism and field music Although the imaging aberration can be eliminated by precisely grinding the lens surface, the technique for achieving this purpose: This is too high and is currently only used in astronomical research projects. In addition, the treatment method using multi-layer coating is also Can handle imaging aberrations and chromatic aberrations at the same time, 20 ^58018 疋 This technology is not popular, the main three, and the day # μ by the slaves are still in Germany and 曰 且 and the imaging of the fineness and color of the fruit Inbu, color saturation is not necessarily up to the expected effect, the 嗜 氺 4 in 4 c. Related 卩 mouth can reach a certain amount of water, ^, brother,, and 523 is inevitable With considerable volume and weight limitations, the current projection system is facing the possibility of miniaturization. Even when the overall system,

In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the actual practice of generating internal reflection is adjustment. In Hai Temple, the refractive index of the guide member 21 is made higher than the refractive index of the surrounding environment, so that the total light reflection is generated by the projection light directed to the circumferential surface 213 by a threshold angle (5), which is called (4) (10). For example, a refractive index of about 1.4 gram is the material of the light guiding element 21, and an air having a refractive index of about 1.00 is used as the surrounding environment of the light guiding element 21, and the refractive index theorem is known as long as the incident angle is greater than the critical value. Angle: 42.5 degrees, you can achieve total internal reflection. ;,,,:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ) to produce total internal reflection. Further, when the coating layer (not shown) is a ruthenium reflective metal film or a highly reflective multilayer dielectric film, it is also possible to achieve internal reflection of the projection light on the circumferential surface 213. The light-creating member 22 includes a microstructure 22 for transmitting projection light out of the light-guiding member 卜 and a light guide 222 for directing the transmitted projection light toward the exit surface 212. The microstructure 221 is in the preferred embodiment a micro pyramid array formed on the surface of the light guiding element 21 when propagating to the light guiding element 2; when the projected light is directed toward the microstructure 221, due to the microstructure 22 The surface is unevenly tinned with respect to the circumference 213 such that the incident angle of the incident projection light does not satisfy the condition of total internal reflection' and thus transmits the light guiding element. Further, since the total internal reflection cannot be satisfied in the range in which the microstructure 221 exists, the area of the projection light transmitted through the light guiding element 21 is the actual area of the microstructure 221 . 10 5 10 15 20 1258018 Adjusting the geometry of the microstructure 22! The projection of the structure 221 # &, the change of the incident angle of the beam to the first shot of the heart, the whole of the projected light of the piece ~ shot to guide兀 Angle or increase the front brightness 4=1°: The visual increase of the projection can also be a micro-cone array, a micro-"1", an array of micro-spheres, or a geometry of a continuous application.
