Description

照明系統以及投影裝置Lighting system and projection device

本發明是有關於一種光學系統以及顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種照明系統以及具有所述照明系統的投影裝置。The present invention relates to an optical system and a display device, and in particular to an illumination system and a projection device with the illumination system.

投影裝置為一種用於產生大面積畫面的顯示裝置,隨著科技技術的演進與創新,一直不斷的在進步。投影裝置的成像原理是將照明系統所產生的照明光束藉由光閥轉換成影像光束,再將影像光束通過投影鏡頭投射到投射目標物(例如:螢幕或牆面上),以形成投影畫面。The projection device is a display device used to generate a large-area image, and has been continuously improving with the evolution and innovation of technology. The imaging principle of the projection device is to convert the illumination beam generated by the lighting system into an image beam through the light valve, and then project the image beam to the projection target (such as a screen or wall) through the projection lens to form a projection image.

為了追求更小體積的投影裝置應用在微型投影裝置上,可以使用在頭戴顯示器上,微型投影裝置的照明系統從早期的R / G / B三個通道(Red/Green/Blue LED light beams forming three pathways),逐漸演變至目前的RB / G二個通道(Red and Blue/Green LED light beams forming two pathways),或是RGB一個通道(Red and Blue and Green LED light beams forming one pathway)。上述三種架構,都是利用準直透鏡 將發光二極體所提供光源平行入射至透鏡陣列,再經由聚光透鏡將透鏡陣列上的光束聚焦在光閥的成像元件上。不過,為了達到最小體積的設計,會使用最少的光源來做設計。然而,因為部分色光光源為各一顆光源,且位置互為對角線,所以投影出來的畫面會有很明顯的顏色不均勻的問題。In order to pursue a smaller projection device and apply it to a micro projection device, it can be used on a head-mounted display. The lighting system of the micro projection device has changed from the early R / G / B three channels (Red/Green/Blue LED light beams forming three pathways), and gradually evolved to the current RB / G two channels (Red and Blue/Green LED light beams forming two pathways), or RGB one channel (Red and Blue and Green LED light beams forming one pathway). The above-mentioned three structures all use collimating lens to make the light source provided by light-emitting diodes incident to the lens array in parallel, and then focus the light beam on the lens array on the imaging element of the light valve through the condenser lens. However, in order to achieve the smallest volume design, the least number of light sources will be used for the design. However, because part of the color light sources are one light source each, and the positions are diagonal to each other, the projected picture will have obvious color unevenness.

圖5為圖2的照明系統的部份放大示意圖。請參考圖2及圖5。稜鏡元件150配置於照明光束LB的傳遞路徑上,且第二透鏡陣列140位於聚光元件130與稜鏡元件150之間。稜鏡元件150例如是全內反射式稜鏡(TIR prism),用以引導照明光束LB傳遞至光閥60以及引導影像光束LI至投影鏡頭70(如圖1)。進一步說明,稜鏡元件150具有第一表面與出光面,稜鏡元件150的第一表面面對第二透鏡陣列140,稜鏡元件150的出光面面對光閥60。稜鏡元件150的第一表面,用於接收照明光束LB,照明光束LB進入稜鏡元件150而傳遞至光閥60。當光閥60將照明光束LB轉換為影像光束LI,影像光束LI再次進入稜鏡元件150,並影像光束LI藉由稜鏡元件150的第一表面反射而離開稜鏡元件150且傳遞至投影鏡頭70。FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged schematic view of the lighting system in FIG. 2 . Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5. The light-emitting element 150 is disposed on the transmission path of the illumination beam LB, and the second lens array 140 is located between the light-condensing element 130 and the light-emitting element 150 . The prism element 150 is, for example, a total internal reflection prism (TIR prism) for guiding the illumination beam LB to the light valve 60 and guiding the image beam LI to the projection lens 70 (as shown in FIG. 1 ). To further illustrate, the light-emitting element 150 has a first surface and a light-emitting surface, the first surface of the light-emitting element 150 faces the second lens array 140 , and the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting element 150 faces the light valve 60 . The first surface of the luminous element 150 is used for receiving the illumination beam LB, which enters the luminous element 150 and is transmitted to the light valve 60 . When the light valve 60 converts the illumination light beam LB into the image light beam LI, the image light beam LI enters the light beam element 150 again, and the image light beam LI is reflected by the first surface of the light beam element 150 to leave the light beam element 150 and pass to the projection lens 70.

此外,在本實施例中,第二透鏡陣列140的延伸方向(此延伸方向垂直於第二透鏡陣列140的表面的法線方向)與稜鏡元件150的出光面的延伸方向(此延伸方向垂直於光閥60的表面的法線方向)具有夾角A。稜鏡元件150的出光面平行於光閥60的表面。具體而言,照明系統100還可包括間隔件160,間隔件160與第二透鏡陣列140之間具有一距離。In addition, in this embodiment, the extension direction of the second lens array 140 (this extension direction is perpendicular to the normal direction of the surface of the second lens array 140) and the extension direction of the light-emitting surface of the galvanized element 150 (this extension direction is perpendicular to There is an included angle A in the normal direction of the surface of the light valve 60 ). The light emitting surface of the light emitting element 150 is parallel to the surface of the light valve 60 . Specifically, the lighting system 100 may further include a spacer 160 , and there is a distance between the spacer 160 and the second lens array 140 .

間隔件160設置於第二透鏡陣列140與稜鏡元件150之間,其目的是用於避免照明光束LB在此空氣層中產生光程差,進而造成投影畫面品質下降。值得一提的是,本實施例可依據光閥60的表面尺寸及其收光角度而決定出第二透鏡陣140的尺寸(即光學面積)。如此一來,可提高光的使用效率,如圖5所顯示,進而提升照明光束LB的均勻度。The spacer 160 is disposed between the second lens array 140 and the lens element 150 , and its purpose is to prevent the illuminating light beam LB from producing an optical path difference in the air layer, thereby degrading the quality of the projected image. It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the size (ie, the optical area) of the second lens array 140 can be determined according to the surface size of the light valve 60 and its light-receiving angle. In this way, the use efficiency of light can be improved, as shown in FIG. 5 , thereby improving the uniformity of the illumination beam LB.

圖6為本發明另一實施例的照明系統的示意圖。請參考圖6。本實施例的照明系統100A類似於圖2所顯示的照明系統100。兩者不同之處在於,在本實施例中,光源模組110A的準直透鏡組114A包括複合拋物面聚光器(Compound Parabolic Concentrator, CPC),用於將發光元件112所發出不同角度的光透過複合拋物面聚光器的曲面變成平行光。此外,第一透鏡陣列120A直接地連接複合拋物面聚光器。因此,可進一步節省照明系統100A的體積,且具有良好的光學效果。在另一實施例中,亦可以將第一透鏡陣列120A直接地配置連接於聚光元件130的入光面。如此一來,可提升照明光束的均勻度以及不同顏色的均勻度,以避免人眼可看出發光元件112所發出的色光具有不均勻的現象。Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an illumination system according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 6. The lighting system 100A of this embodiment is similar to the lighting system 100 shown in FIG. 2 . The difference between the two is that, in this embodiment, the collimating lens group 114A of the light source module 110A includes a compound parabolic concentrator (Compound Parabolic Concentrator, CPC), which is used to transmit the light emitted by the light emitting element 112 at different angles. The curved surface of the compound parabolic concentrator becomes parallel light. Furthermore, the first lens array 120A is directly connected to the compound parabolic concentrator. Therefore, the volume of the lighting system 100A can be further saved, and it has good optical effect. In another embodiment, the first lens array 120A may also be directly configured and connected to the light incident surface of the light concentrating element 130 . In this way, the uniformity of the illumination light beam and the uniformity of different colors can be improved, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the color light emitted by the light emitting element 112 is not uniform.

綜上所述,在本發明的照明系統以及投影裝置中,照明系統包括光源模組、第一透鏡陣列、聚光元件、第二透鏡陣列以及稜鏡元件。其中第一透鏡陣列配置於光源模組與聚光元件之間,用於控制光源模組所提供照明光束的光束截面積尺寸以匹配接收照明光束的光閥的表面面積尺寸,第二透鏡陣列配置於聚光元件與稜鏡元件之間,用於改變照明光束中各色的光型並均勻化,以及第二透鏡陣列的表面面積大於所述第一透鏡陣列的表面面積。如此一來,可提升照明光束的均勻度以及不同顏色的均勻度,以避免人眼可看出發光元件所發出的色光具有不均勻的現象。To sum up, in the lighting system and the projection device of the present invention, the lighting system includes a light source module, a first lens array, a light-condensing element, a second lens array, and a light-emitting element. Wherein the first lens array is arranged between the light source module and the condensing element, and is used to control the beam cross-sectional area size of the illumination beam provided by the light source module to match the surface area size of the light valve receiving the illumination beam, and the second lens array is configured Between the light-condensing element and the light-emitting element, it is used to change and uniformize the light pattern of each color in the illumination beam, and the surface area of the second lens array is larger than that of the first lens array. In this way, the uniformity of the illumination beam and the uniformity of different colors can be improved, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the color light emitted by the light-emitting element is not uniform.
