激光投影设备是采用激光光源作为显示光源并配合投影显示技术成像的投影显示设备,例如激光电视、激光投影仪等。激光光源主要包括激光器组件和光路组件。激光器组件能够发出激光光束,激光器组件根据其发光颜色可分为红色激光器组件、蓝色激光器组件及绿色激光器组件等。
在一个示例中,激光光源可以包括多种颜色的激光器组件。例如,一个激光光源可以包括蓝色激光器组件和红色激光器组件。再例如,一个激光光源可以包括蓝色激光器组件、红色激光器组件和绿色激光器组件。光路组件能够混合该多种颜色的激光器组件发出的光束。而且,在 一些示例中,光路组件还包括扩散片等匀光部件,所述匀光部件能够调整混合后的光束的均匀度,以提高所输出光束的匀光效果,从而输出满足成像要求的照明光束。
在另一个示例中,激光光源可以仅包括一种颜色的激光器组件(例如蓝色激光器组件),光路组件还能够包括色轮,色轮能够受到激光器组件发出的激光的激发而产生多种其他颜色的荧光。光路组件能够混合激光器组件发出的激光光束以及色轮受激发产生的荧光光束。此外,该激光光源也能够包括匀光部件以调整混合后的光束的均匀度。
图1示出了一种激光器组件。如图1所示,该激光器组件02A包括支架01、多个激光器02和电路板03。各个激光器02电连接至电路板03,且电路板03固定在支架01上,以使多个激光器02阵列设置于同一平面内且出光方向一致。
如图2所示,每个激光器02包括发光部件021、准直结构022及基板023。发光部件021设置在基板023上,准直结构022位于发光部件021的远离基板023的一侧,准直结构022能够准直发光部件021所发出的光束。
图3示出了另一种激光器组件。如图3所示,该激光器组件02B包括支架01、多个激光器02和电路板03。各个激光器02电连接至电路板03,且电路板03固定在支架01上,以使多个激光器02阵列设置于同一平面内且出光方向一致。
其中,如图3所示,每个激光器02包括基板023、设置于该基板023上的发光部件021、及设置于该基板023上的反射件024。其中,发光部件021的所有面中面积较大的一面贴装在具有较强导热散热能力的基板023上,这样可以更好的对发光部件021进行散热。
发光部件021沿着平行于基板023的方向发出光束,反射件024位于发光部件021的光路上,通过反射件024的反射面0241可以对发光部件021发出的光束进行反射,使该发光部件021发出的光束能够向发光部件021远离基板023的一侧出射。此外,在激光器组件02B中,发光部件021发出的光束在经由反射件024反射后,还可以通过准直结构022对该光束进行准直。
如图4所示,发光部件021沿光束的快轴方向(也即图4中的方向X)和慢轴方向(也即图4中的方向Y,方向Y与方向X垂直)发出 的光均为发散光,而且沿快轴方向的发散角α(通常为30°~70°)较大,沿慢轴方向的发散角β(通常为5°~10°)较小。例如,当发光部件021为红光发光部件时,其所发出的红光光束沿快轴方向的发散角α大于或等于68.2°,而沿慢轴方向的发散角β仅有8°左右。
需要说明的是,上述发光部件021所发出光束的截面垂直于该光束的光轴。示例性的,该截面呈椭圆形,该椭圆形的长轴与短轴的交点与该光束的光轴相交,上述快轴方向X为平行于该椭圆形的长轴的方向,上述慢轴方向Y为平行于该椭圆形的短轴的方向。
在单个激光器02中,发光部件021发出的光束在射入准直结构022时沿快轴方向X的宽度较大,沿慢轴方向Y的宽度较小,相应地经准直结构022准直后的光束沿快轴方向X的宽度也较大,沿慢轴方向Y的宽度也较小。因此,在单个激光器02输出的光束的截面沿快轴方向X的宽度较大,沿慢轴方向Y的宽度较小的情况下,整个激光器组件的出光均匀度较差。而且由于单个激光器02输出的光束的截面最大宽度较大,因此包括多个激光器02的激光器组件02A和02B的出射光束的截面最大宽度也相应增大,导致位于激光器组件光路上的光路组件中的至少部分光学元件(例如合光镜等合光部件和扩散片等匀光部件)的尺寸需要设计得更大,才能实现此截面最大宽度较大的光束的传输,这将不利于后续光路组件以及容纳该光路组件的主壳体的体积小型化设计。
参见图5和图6,本公开一些实施例提供了一种激光器组件1,该激光器组件1包括支架11和至少一个激光器12,支架11上设有至少一个安装槽11A,至少一个激光器12一一对应地安装于至少一个安装槽11A内。在一些实施例中,为了提供足够亮度的光束,激光器组件1包括多个激光器12,支架11上设有多个安装槽11A。每个激光器12一一对应的安装在支架11上的多个安装槽11A内。
每个激光器12均包括发光部件121和调光部件122,发光部件121被配置为发出光束,调光部件122设置于发光部件121的光路上,调光部件122被配置为改变光束沿该光束的快轴方向和慢轴方向中的至少一者的发散角度。这样设计,可以通过调光部件122减小每个激光器12所发出光束的截面的最大宽度,该截面垂直于所述光束的光轴。进而,可以减小整个激光器组件1出射光束的截面最大宽度,使位于激光器组件1光路上的光路组件中的至少部分光学元件(例如合光镜等合光部件和 扩散片等匀光部件)的尺寸可以在保证激光器组件1出射光束正常传输的情况下设计的更小,从而有利于光路组件以及包含光路组件和激光器组件的激光光源实现小型化设计。
示例性的,支架11上的多个安装槽11A阵列设置于同一平面内。这样,当多个激光器12分别安装在多个安装槽11A内时,多个激光器12也将阵列设置于同一平面内,使得多个激光器12的出光方向可以一致,从而使激光器组件1中的多个激光器12发出的光束可以汇聚成一整条出射光束。在一些可能的设计中,如图5所示,支架11上设置有八个安装槽11A,每个安装槽11A内安装有一个激光器12。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,激光器组件1还包括固定于支架11上的电路板13,各个激光器12的发光部件121电连接至电路板13,以通过电路板13实现控制各个激光器12的发光部件121发出光束。
发光部件121的结构形式有多种。例如,发光部件121为单独设置的发光芯片;或者,发光部件121为由发光芯片和反射棱镜封装形成的发光器件;或者,发光部件121为由发光芯片和反射棱镜组成的组件。
发光部件121所发出光束的颜色有多种。例如,发光部件121为红光发光部件,蓝光发光部件,或者绿光发光部件。在一些示例中,发光部件121为红光发光部件,红光发光部件发出的红光光束沿快轴方向的发散角较大,能够达到68.2°以上,通过调光部件122可以大幅减小红光发光部件所发出红光光束沿快轴方向的发散角度,从而达到减小输出光束的截面最大宽度的目的,该截面垂直于所述光束的光轴。
在一些实施例中,如图6至图8所示,调光部件122包括调光透镜122A,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1被配置为透射发光部件121所发出的光束。
示例性的,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1被配置为:减小光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度,以减小光束在快轴方向X上的宽度;并且,减小光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度,以减小光束在慢轴方向Y上的宽度。这样,可以减小激光器12输出光束在各个方向上的截面宽度,进而减小整个激光器组件1出射光束在各个方向上的截面宽度,使位于激光器组件1光路上的光路组件中的至少部分光学元件(例如合光镜等合光部件和扩散片等匀光部件)的尺寸可以在保证激光器组件1出射光束正常传输的情况下设计的更小,从而有利于光路组件以及包含光路组件和激光器组件 的激光光源实现小型化设计。在一些示例中,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1能够仅被配置为减小光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度,以减小光束在快轴方向X上的宽度。在一些示例中,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1能够仅被配置为减小光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度,以减小光束在慢轴方向Y上的宽度。
示例性的,参见图7和图8,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1被配置为减小光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度,以减小光束在快轴方向X上的宽度;并且,增大光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度,以增大光束在慢轴方向Y上的宽度。这样使得激光器12的输出光束的截面趋近于圆形,该输出光束的截面形状更加均匀,从而有助于提高激光器组件1的出光均匀度,使得激光器组件1在与光路组件中扩散片等匀光部件配合使用时,可以更好地匀化光路。在一些示例中,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1能够仅被配置为增大光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度,以增大光束在慢轴方向Y上的宽度。
示例性的,如图7和图8所示,调光透镜122A设置于发光部件121的光路上;调光透镜122A的靠近发光部件121的表面为入光面f 1,入光面f 1被配置为透射发光部件121所发出的光束,以使光束朝向安装槽11A的开***出。这样设计,使发光部件121发出的光束能够经入光面f 1射入调光透镜122A中,然后从调光透镜122A的出光面f 2射向安装槽11A的开口,从而可以使发光部件121发出的光束从安装槽11A的开***出,即,使激光器12可以输出光束。
在一些实施例中,参见图7和图8,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为直线,以减小光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度;并且,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线,以增大光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度。这样设计,使调光透镜122A可以减小光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度,以减小光束在快轴方向X上的宽度,并且使调光透镜122A可以增大光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度,以增大光束在慢轴方向Y上的宽度,从而能够使激光器12的输出光束的截面趋近于圆形,该输出光束的截面形状更加均匀,有助于提高激光器组件1的出光均匀度。在一些实施例中,能够仅使调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为直线,以减小光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度。在一些实施例中, 能够仅使调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线,以增大光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度。
示例性的,如图7和图8所示,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为直线,且每条交线均垂直于发光部件121所发出光束的光轴。这样设计,除光轴位置处的光线外,发光部件121所发出光束中沿快轴方向X扩散的光线在到达调光透镜122A的入光面f 1时均不是垂直射入,因此,通过调光透镜122A可以产生折射。根据折射定律公式n 1×sinθ 1=n 2×sinθ 2,其中,n 1为发光部件121与调光透镜122A之间间隙内物质的折射率,θ 1为发光部件121所发出光束中沿快轴方向X扩散的光线在射入调光透镜122A时的入射角,n 2为调光透镜122A的材料折射率,θ 2为发光部件121所发出光束中沿快轴方向X扩散的光线在射入调光透镜122A后的折射角。在一个示例中,发光部件121与调光透镜122A之间物质为空气,因此n 1=1,n 2可以大于1,因此n 2大于n 1,所以理论上,θ 2小于θ 1,调光透镜122A能够减小发光部件121所发出光束中沿快轴方向X的光的发散角度。
而且,在调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为直线的情况下,还可以减小调光透镜122A的入光面f 1的设计难度,从而降低结构复杂度,达到容易制作调光透镜122A的目的。此外,便于确定调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与发光部件121之间的相对位置,减小激光器12的装配难度。
根据上述折射定律公式,如图8所示,n 2越大,则θ 2越小,发光部件121所发出光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度的减小程度越大,经调光透镜122A输出的光束沿快轴方向X的宽度越小。但是n 2越大,也会导致调光透镜122A的成本增加,发光部件121所发出光束在经过调光透镜122A后的衰减程度增大,因此,在一些示例中,调光透镜122A的材料折射率n 2为1.5~1.9,这样可以同时兼顾调光透镜122A的缩光效果、调光透镜122A的成本以及调光透镜122A对发光部件121所发出光束的衰减作用。在一些实施例中,n 2可以是1.5至1.9之间的任意数值,例如但不限于1.5、1.6、1.7、1.8、1.9、1.55、1.65、1.75、1.85等。
在本公开一些实施例中,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为凸曲线,根据穿过凸透镜的光线会聚的原理,可以减小光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度。
在此基础上,示例性的,如图7和图8所示,调光透镜122A的入光面f 1与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线。这样,使调光透镜122A的入光面f 1在减小发光部件121发出的光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度的同时,还可以增大发光部件121发出的光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度。需要说明的是,沿该凹曲线的延伸方向,该凹曲线的曲率可以保持不变(即该凹曲线为凹圆弧线),也可以连续改变(例如该凹曲线的曲率依次为0.5、0.8或1.2等)。在一些示例中,凹曲线的曲率值大于0且小于1。这样,凹曲线上各个位置的弯曲程度较小,有利于降低加工难度。
在一些示例中,如图7所示,在沿发光部件121发出的光束的光轴方向上,调光透镜122A与发光部件121之间的距离d大于0mm且小于或等于1.5mm,例如d为0.5mm或0.8mm或1.5mm。这样,调光透镜122A与发光部件121之间的间隙较小,有利于实现激光器组件的结构紧凑化设计。示例性的,在沿发光部件121所发出光束的光轴方向上,调光透镜122A与发光部件121之间的距离d为0.56mm,这样,调光透镜122A与发光部件121之间的间隙适中,既有利于激光器组件的结构紧凑化设计,又能够防止因调光透镜122A与发光部件121之间的间隙过小,而增大调光透镜122A的入光面f 1的设计难度。
在一些实施例中,如图7和图8所示,每个激光器12还包括:光准直透镜123,光准直透镜123设置于调光透镜122A远离发光部件121的一侧,光准直透镜123的出光面1232被配置为准直经调光透镜122A调节后的光束。这样设计,调光透镜122A可以在发光部件121所发出光束进入光准直透镜123之前,改变该光束沿快轴方向X和慢轴方向Y中的至少一个方向的发散角度。并且,经过调光透镜122A后的光束再通过光准直透镜123后基本上是平行的。
示例性的,如图7和图8所示,调光透镜122A可以减小发光部件121所发出光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度,从而减小该光束由光准直透镜123准直后沿快轴方向X的宽度。这样,单个激光器12能够通过调光透镜122A减小发光部件121所发出光束沿快轴方向X的发散角,来达到减小单个激光器所发出光束沿快轴方向的宽度的目的,从而能够减小激光器组件1的出射光束的截面最大宽度,进而使得位于激光器组件1光路上的光路组件中的至少部分光学元件的尺寸可以减小,由此能够 实现该光路组件的体积小型化设计。而且,由于激光器12的输出光束沿快轴方向X的宽度减小了,因此激光器12的输出光束的截面将更趋近于圆形,使得激光器12的输出光束的截面形状更加均匀,从而有助于提高激光器组件1的出光均匀度,使得激光器组件1在与光路组件中的扩散片等匀光部件配合使用时,匀光部件可以更好地匀化光路。
在一些实施例中,如图7和图8所示,调光透镜122A的出光面f 2与光准直透镜123的入光面1231相接触,调光透镜122A的材料与光准直透镜123的材料相同;或者,调光透镜122A与光准直透镜123为一体式结构。这样,只需合理设计调光透镜122A的入光面f 1,例如设计该入光面f 1与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为直线,即可达到减小发光部件121所发出光束沿快轴方向X的发散角的目的;合理设计光准直透镜123的出光面1232,例如设计该出光面1232为非球面,使该光准直透镜123为非球面透镜,即可达到准直发光部件121所发出光束的目的,因此,可以降低调光透镜122A和光准直透镜123的设计难度,减小设计和加工成本。
当调光透镜122A与光准直透镜123为一体式结构时,可以减少激光器组件中的零部件数量,降低装配难度。
当调光透镜122A的出光面f 2与光准直透镜123的入光面1231相接触,且调光透镜122A的材料与光准直透镜123的材料相同时,调光透镜122A的出光面f 2与光准直透镜123的入光面1231相适配。例如,当调光透镜122A的出光面f 2为平面时,光准直透镜123的入光面1231也为平面;当调光透镜122A的出光面f 2为凸曲面时,光准直透镜123的入光面1231为曲率与调光透镜122A的出光面f 2相同的凹曲面。在一些示例中,如图7和图8所示,调光透镜122A的出光面f 2和光准直透镜123的入光面1231相接触,且均为与发光部件121所发出光束的光轴相垂直的平面,这样,调光透镜122A和光准直透镜123的结构简单,有利于减小调光透镜122A、光准直透镜123与发光部件121三者之间的定位难度。在一些示例中,光准直透镜123的入光面1231设置有定位凹槽,调光透镜122A的出光面f 2所在的一侧嵌入到该定位凹槽内。
每个激光器12包括的发光部件121、调光透镜122A及光准直透镜123可以固定在支架11上。支架11的结构有多种,支架11能够支撑多个激光器12,并保证每个激光器12的发光部件121、调光透镜122A 与光准直透镜123三者之间的相对位置关系即可,此处不做限定。例如,支架11的结构以及支架11与激光器12之间连接方式包括但不限于以下三种示例:
示例一,如图5和图6所示,支架11为块状结构,支架11上对应每个激光器12的位置设有安装槽11A,发光部件121固定于相应的安装槽11A的底壁上,调光透镜122A与光准直透镜123固定于相应的安装槽11A的侧壁上。此支架11结构简单,能够将激光器12容纳于其内部,从而提高了对激光器12的保护效果。
示例性的,调光透镜122A直接固定于安装槽11A的侧壁上;或者,如图6所示,调光透镜122A固定于光准直透镜123上,并通过光准直透镜123固定于安装槽11A的侧壁上。在一些可能的设计中,光准直透镜123通过粘接或卡接等方式固定于安装槽11A的侧壁上。在另一些可能的设计中,如图6所示,安装槽11A的侧壁上设有台阶面a,光准直透镜123的入光面承靠于台阶面a,安装槽11A内套设有锡环124,该锡环124位于光准直透镜123的光路上,加热锡环124可以使锡环124熔化并与支架11固定,由此能够将光准直透镜123夹持于台阶面a与锡环124之间。
示例二,如图9和图10所示,支架11包括支撑板111、多个底板112和多个筒状壳体113,多个底板112固定于支撑板111上,多个激光器12的发光部件121一一对应固定于多个底板112上,多个筒状壳体113一一对应罩设于多个发光部件121外,且每个筒状壳体113的轴向与该筒状壳体113对应的发光部件121的出光方向平行,多个激光器12的调光透镜122A及光准直透镜123一一对应固定于多个筒状壳体113内。这样设计,可以使支架11用料较少,质量较轻。
示例三,如图11和图12所示,激光器组件1包括支架11和多个激光器12,支架11为板状结构,支架11上设有凹槽11B。多个激光器12的发光部件121设置于凹槽11B的底壁上,每个激光器12的调光透镜122A固定于光准直透镜123上,多个激光器12的光准直透镜123通过一体成型工艺形成一体式结构,该一体式结构盖设于凹槽11B的开口处,且该一体式结构与支架11固定。这样设计,有利于缩小激光器组件中任意两个相邻的激光器12之间的间距,实现激光器组件的体积小型化设计。
在另一些实施例中,如图13和图14所示,调光部件122包括反射件122B,反射件122B的入光面f 3被配置为反射发光部件121所发出的光束。
示例性的,如图13和图14所示,每个激光器12还包括基板120。发光部件121、反射件122B均设置于基板120上,发光部件121的出光方向平行于基板120,反射件122B设置于发光部件121的光路上,即反射件122B位于发光部件121的出光路径上。反射件122B的靠近发光部件121的表面为入光面f 3,入光面f 3被配置为反射发光部件121所发出的光束,以使光束朝向背离基板120的方向射出。并且所述入光面f 3被配置为改变所述光束沿该光束的快轴方向和慢轴方向中的至少一者的发散角度。
这样设计,可以通过反射件122B减小每个激光器12所发出光束的截面的最大宽度,该截面垂直于所述光束的光轴。进而,可以减小整个激光器组件1出射光束的截面最大宽度,使位于激光器组件1光路上的光路组件中的至少部分光学元件(例如合光镜等合光部件和扩散片等匀光部件)的尺寸可以在保证激光器组件1出射光束正常传输的情况下设计的更小,从而有利于光路组件以及包含光路组件和激光器组件的激光光源实现小型化设计。此外,通过合理地设置图13所示激光器12中的反射件122B,还可以使该反射件122B具有准直光线的功能,从而省略对准直透镜的使用,这将在后文中详细描述。
作为一些可能的设计,如图14和图15所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3为凹曲面,且入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X和慢轴方向Y中的一个方向的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线。这样设计,使得反射件122B的入光面f 3在向背离基板120的方向反射发光部件121发出的光束的同时,能够减小发光部件121所发出光束沿快轴方向X或慢轴方向Y中的另一个方向的发散角度。例如,当入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线时,能够减小发光部件121所发出光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度。当入光面f 3与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线时,能够减小发光部件121所发出光束沿快轴方向X的发散角度。因此,在将具有该反射件122B的激光器12应用于诸如激光电视、激光投影机等激光投影设备时,可以减小位于激光器组件光路上的光路组件的设计尺寸,有利于激光投影设备实现小型化设计。
在此基础上,在一些可能的设计中,如图14和图15所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X和慢轴方向Y的另一个方向的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线。这样,入光面f 3可以同时减小发光部件121发出的光束沿慢轴方向Y和快轴方向X发散角度,此时,在将具有该反射件122B的激光器12应用于诸如激光电视、激光投影机等激光投影设备时,可以使位于激光器组件光路上的光路组件的尺寸设计的更小,将更加有利于激光投影设备实现小型化设计。
反射件122B的入光面f 3的形状有多种,例如,以下示出的两个示例:
示例一,如图14和图15所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3为凹曲面,且该入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线。这样,该入光面f 3在向背离基板120的方向反射发光部件121发出的光束的同时,能够收缩沿慢轴方向Y发散的光线,从而减小发光部件121所发出光束沿该慢轴方向Y的发散角度。
如图14所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3可以将发光部件121所发出光束沿慢轴方向Y的发散角度由β(通常为5°~10°)收缩至β 1,例如β 1为0°或1°或2°或3°或4°或5°等。可以理解,此处不对收缩后的发散角度β 1进行限定。
上述凹曲线为凹弧线或下凹的抛物线等,其能够使反射件122B的入光面f 3实现对沿慢轴方向Y发散的光线进行收缩,从而减小发光部件121所发出光束沿该慢轴方向Y的发散角度。对于上述凹曲线的弯曲形状,此处不做限定。
在此基础上,反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线可以为直线或曲线或凹曲线。
当反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为直线时,如图14和图15所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3为平整的柱面,反射件122B具有结构规整,加工方便的优点。
当反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线时,如图16和17所示,入光面f 3在收缩发光部件121沿慢轴方向Y发散的光线的同时,也能够收缩发光部件121沿快轴方向X发散的光线,即入光面f 3可以同时减小发光部件121发出的光束沿慢轴方向Y和快轴方向X发散角度,因此,在将具有该反射件122B的激光 器12应用于诸如激光电视、激光投影机等激光投影设备时,可以减小位于激光器组件光路上的光路组件的设计尺寸,有利于激光投影设备实现小型化设计。
参见图16,反射件122B的入光面f 3可以将发光部件121所发出光束沿快轴方向X发光的发散角由α(通常为30°~70°)收缩至α 1。例如,α 1为0°或1°或2°或3°或4°或5°或10°等。可以理解,此处不对收缩后的发散角度α 1进行限定。
示例二,如图18和图19所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3为凹曲面,且该入光面f 3与垂直于慢轴方向Y的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线。这样,该反射面31在向背离基板120的方向反射发光部件121发出的光束的同时,能够收缩沿快轴方向X发出的光,以减小发光部件121沿该快轴方向X发出的光的发散角度。
如图18所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3将发光部件2沿快轴方向X发光的发散角由α(通常为30°~70°)收缩至α 1,例如α 1为0°或1°或2°或3°或4°或5°或10°等。可以理解,此处不对收缩后的发散角度α 1进行限定。
上述凹曲线为凹弧线或下凹的抛物线等,其能够使反射件122B的入光面f 3实现对沿快轴方向X发散的光线进行收缩,从而减小发光部件121所发出光束沿该快轴方向X的发散角度。对于上述凹曲线的弯曲形状,此处不做限定。
在此基础上,反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线可以为直线或曲线或凹曲线等。
当反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为直线时,如图18和图19所示,反射件122B的入光面f 3为平整的柱面,反射件122B具有结构规整,加工方便的优点。
当反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为凹曲线时,如图20和21所示,入光面f 3在收缩发光部件121沿快轴方向X发散的光线的同时,也能够收缩发光部件121沿慢轴方向Y发散的光线,即入光面f 3可以同时减小发光部件121发出的光束沿快轴方向X和慢轴方向Y发散角度,因此,在将具有该反射件122B的激光器12应用于诸如激光电视、激光投影机等激光投影设备时,可以减小位于激光器组件光路上的光路组件的设计尺寸,有利于激光投影设备实现 小型化设计。
参见图20,反射件122B的入光面f 3可以将发光部件121所发出光束沿慢轴方向Y发光的发散角由β(通常为5°~10°)收缩至β 1。例如,β 1为0°或1°或2°或3°或4°或5°等。可以理解,此处不对收缩后的发散角度β 1进行限定。
发光部件121所发出光束的慢轴方向Y平行于基板120(与基板120的夹角为0°),或者,垂直于基板120(与基板120的夹角为90°),或者,与基板120呈角度区间为(0°,90°)的夹角倾斜设置。相应的,发光部件121所发出光束的快轴方向X与慢轴方向Y互相垂直。因此,发光部件121所发出光束的快轴方向X可以平行于基板120(与基板120的夹角为0°),或者,垂直于基板120(与基板120的夹角为90°),或者,与基板120呈角度区间为(0°,90°)的夹角倾斜设置。此处,角度区间(0°,90°)可以指0°和90°之间的区间,所述夹角可以是该区间内的任意数值,例如,5°、10°、15°、20°、30°、45°、60°、75°、80°或85°。
如图14至图21所示,发光部件121所发出光束的慢轴方向Y平行于基板120,发光部件121所发出光束的快轴方向X垂直于基板120。此时,由于发光部件121的出光口1211在快轴方向的最大宽度减小,这样在发光部件121所发出光束中的光线全部照射到反射件122B上的情况下,可以减小发光部件121凸出基板120的高度,有利于降低激光器12在其出光方向上的高度。而且发光部件121的最大发热面与基板120相贴,能够有效散去发光部件121发光时产生的热量。
在另一个示例中,也可以设置发光部件121所发出光束的慢轴方向Y垂直于基板120,发光部件121所发出光束的快轴方向X平行于基板120。这样,能够可以大幅减小发光部件121凸出基板120的高度,有利于降低激光器12在其出光方向上的高度。
在一些实施例中,如图14至图17、图20和图21所示,光束的快轴方向X垂直于基板120,光束的慢轴方向Y平行于基板120;反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于快轴方向X的各个平面的交线均为凹弧线,反射件122B的入光面f 3在凹弧线上各个点的切平面与快轴方向X之间的夹角均相等以使入光面f 3形成非球面,发光部件121的出光口1211位于各个凹弧线对应的圆心的连线l上以实现心对心的设置。这样,发 光部件121沿慢轴方向Y发出的光束经入光面f 3反射后的出光方向均相同,能够将发光部件121沿慢轴方向Y发出的发散光线变为平行光线,从而实现准直发光部件121沿慢轴方向Y发出的光线的目的。
其中,示例性的,参见图14,各个凹弧线的半径r 1均为2mm~5mm。例如,各个凹弧线的半径r 1可以为2mm或3mm或5mm等,在此不做具体限定。这样,反射件122B与发光部件121之间的间距适中,能够兼顾激光器12的结构紧凑性和反射件122B的加工难度。
在一些实施例中,如图18所示,光束的快轴方向X垂直于基板120,光束的慢轴方向Y平行于基板120;反射件122B的入光面f 3与垂直于慢轴方向Y的任一平面的交线均为凹弧线,反射件122B的入光面f 3在凹弧线上各个点的切平面与慢轴方向Y之间的夹角均相等以使入光面f 3形成非球面,发光部件121的出光口1211位于各个凹弧线对应的圆心的连线l 1上以实现心对心的设置。这样,发光部件121沿快轴方向X发出的光束经入光面f 3反射后的出光方向均相同,能够将发光部件121沿快轴方向X发出的发散光线变为平行光线,从而实现准直发光部件121沿快轴方向X发出的光线的目的。
其中,示例性的,参见图18,各个凹弧线的半径r 2均为2mm~5mm。例如,各个凹弧线的半径r 2可以为2mm或3mm或5mm等,在此不做具体限定。这样,反射件122B与发光部件121之间的间距适中,能够兼顾激光器12的结构紧凑性和反射件122B的加工难度。
在此基础上,示例性的,如图16和图20所示,将发光部件121的出光口1211设置于连线l和连线l 1的交点处,这样,使反射件122B的入光面f 3能够同时反射并准直发光部件121沿快轴方向X和慢轴方向Y发出的光。从而使激光器12不需要再设置单独的准直结构,即可准直发光部件121沿快轴方向X和慢轴方向Y的发散光线,进而能够减小激光投影设备的结构复杂度,降低激光投影设备的成本。
其中,需要说明的是,反射件122B的入光面f 3能够准直发光部件121沿快轴方向X发出的光,并非必须将发光部件121沿快轴方向X扩散的光线的发散角收缩至0°,而是当入光面f 3将发光部件121沿快轴方向X发出的光的发散角收缩至[0°,5°]区间范围内的任意角度值时,均可认为入光面f 3准直了发光部件121沿快轴方向X发出的光。同理,反射件122B的入光面f 3能够准直发光部件沿慢轴方向Y发出的光,并 非必须将发光部件121沿慢轴方向Y扩散的光线的发散角收缩至0°,而是当入光面f 3将发光部件121沿慢轴方向Y扩散的光线的发散角收缩至[0°,5°]区间范围内的任意角度值时,均可认为入光面f 3准直了发光部件121沿慢轴方向Y扩散的光线发出的光。此处,[0°,5°]区间范围可以指0°和5°之间的区间,包括0°和5°。所述发散角可以是该区间内的任意数值,例如,0°、1°、2°、3°、4°和5°。
示例性的,反射件122B为棱镜或者反射镜片。
发光部件121安装于基板120的方式有多种。示例性的,发光部件121直接安装在基板120上;或者,如图14至图21所示,发光部件121通过热沉126等结构间接安装在基板120上,即,热沉126安装在基板120上,发光部件121安装在热沉126上。其中,热沉具有较高的热导率,可以起到散热的作用,例如可以是金属块(铜块)等结构。
当发光部件121直接与基板120连接时,连接方式有多种,例如,发光部件121可以通过螺纹连接、卡接、胶粘、焊接等方式与基板120连接。在一些示例中,发光部件121通过导热胶粘接于基板120上,导热胶的导热性能较好,能够将发光部件121工作时产生的热量有效传递至基板120,并进一步由基板120扩散至外界环境中。在一些示例中,发光部件121焊接于基板120上,焊接方式连接更牢固,且焊接材料通常为金属材料,金属材料的导热性能较优,能够将发光部件121工作时产生的热量有效传递至基板120,并进一步由基板120扩散至外界环境中。
同理的,反射件122B可以直接与基板120连接,也可以通过垫板等结构间接与基板120连接,在此不做具体限定。且当反射件122B直接与基板120连接时,连接方式有多种,例如,反射件122B可以通过螺纹连接、卡接、胶粘等方式与基板120连接,在此不做具体限定。
基板120起到散热作用,基板120的材料可以为铜、铝、铁等等,在此不做具体限定。在一些实施例中,基板120的材料为铜或铜的合金,铜或铜的合金的散热效果较好,能够快速散去发光部件121工作时产生的热量。
在一些实施例中,如图22和图23所示,每个激光器12包括至少一个发光部件121,至少一个发光部件121沿反射件122B的周向依次排列;反射件122B包括至少一个入光面f 3,至少一个入光面f 3与至少一个 发光部件121一一对应。这样,可以通过设置多个发光部件121来提高激光器12的亮度。
示例性的,发光部件121的数量可以为6个或8个或10个等,在此不做具体限定,具体可以根据激光器12的亮度需求进行设置。此外,对发光部件121的排列位置不做具体限定,例如,如图22所示,多个发光部件121围绕反射件122B的相对两侧边排列。又例如,如图23所示,多个发光部件121围绕反射件122B的四侧边排列。
发光部件121可以为红光发光部件,蓝光发光部件,或者绿光发光部件中的任一个。在一些实施例中,对应反射件122B的每个入光面设置一种颜色的发光部件。例如,如图22所示,反射件122B的左侧设置蓝光发光部件,右侧设置红光发光部件。又例如,如图23所示,反射件122B的上侧和左侧设置蓝光发光部件,下侧设置红光发光部件,右侧设置绿光发光部件。
示例性的,相邻的两个发光部件121之间具有间隙。例如,相邻两个发光部件121之间的间距为1mm~10mm。这样,可以避免相邻两个发光部件121发出的光束之间产生干涉。
在一些实施例中,如图24所示,调光部件122包括调光透镜122A和反射件122B。调光透镜122A设置于基板120上,且位于发光部件121的光路上,调光透镜122A的靠近发光部件121的表面为入光面,所述入光面被配置透射发光部件121所发出的光束以使所述光束朝向反射件122B射出,并且所述入光面被配置为改变所述光束沿该光束的快轴方向和慢轴方向中的至少一者的发散角度。反射件122B设置于基板120上,且位于调光透镜122A远离发光部件121的一侧,反射件122B被配置为反射调光透镜122A透射的光束以使所述光束朝向背离基板120的方向射出。此外,该激光器组件1还包括准直透镜123,以对经反射件122B反射的光束进行准直。
在一个示例中,图13所示的激光器组件中的反射件122B可看做是图24所示激光器组件中的反射件122B和调光透镜122A的一体化结构。图24所示的激光器12节省了光学元件的使用,其结构更紧凑,更利于实现小型化设计。
