The imaging element 30 may be, for example, a reflective or transmissive spatial light modulator (SLM). The reflective SLM may be, for example, a reflective liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) or a digital micro-mirror device (DMD). The transmissive SLM may be, for example, a transparent liquid crystal panel. However, the model and type of the imaging element 30 is not limited in the invention. In the embodiment, the detailed steps and implementation of the method of producing/forming the image light beam LI by the imaging element 30 can be taught, suggested, and obtained from the general knowledge in the field of technology.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of architecture of a projection device of another embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a projection device 10B of the embodiment is similar to the projection device 10A in FIG. 1, the differences are that, in the embodiment, the optical engine module 50 of the projection device 10B includes only one self-luminous imaging element 30. In operation, the image light beam LI emitted from the imaging element 30 is transmitted through the lens module 100 and enters the light guiding device 200 through the coupling inlet 210 of the light guiding device 200, so that the projection light beam LP is emitted from the coupling outlet 220 of the light guiding device 200 and then is projected to the pupil PS. The imaging element 30 may be a self-luminous device, such as an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED display) or a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED), etc. The model and type of the imaging element 30 are not limited in the invention.

FIG. 3 is a three-dimensional schematic view of the projection device in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional schematic view illustrating the assembly of the projection device in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the embodiment, the projection device 10 includes an optical engine module 50 and a lens module 100. A case 52 is connected with the optical engine module 50, and the lens module 100 is disposed inside the case 52 and is connected to the optical engine module 50. In the embodiment, the model and type of the optical engine module 50 may be is the same with that of the optical engine module 50 in FIG. 1 and that of the optical engine module 50 in FIG. 2, the invention is not limited thereto. Moreover, in the embodiment, the optical engine module 50 and the lens module 100 may also be applied to a virtual reality system, augmented reality system, mixed reality system according to the type of the projection device 10, the invention is not limited thereto. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the image light beam LI converges to a stop ST, and the image light beam LI diverges after going through the stop ST, wherein the stop ST refers to a location that the image light beam LI converges to have the minimum beam diameter. In the embodiment, the stop ST is located at a light emitting side (the side that the image light beam is projected) of the lens module 100, so the lenses in the lens module 100 are sequentially stacked on each other from the stop ST (the light emitting side) to a side of the optical engine module 50. The stop ST may be located at the coupling inlet 210 of the light guiding device 200 by adjusting the distance between the lens module 100 of the projection device 10A and the coupling inlet 210 of the light guiding device 200. Moreover, the effective diameter of the stop ST can be adjusted, in the embodiment, the distance between the lens module 100 and the coupling inlet 210 of the light guiding device 200 is roughly from 6 to 15.5 millimeters. The effective diameter of the stop ST is roughly equal to 3.84 mm, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In the embodiment, the lens module 100 is assembled into the optical engine module 50 through an opening of the case 52, as shown in FIG. 4, and the outer shape of the lens module 100 fits with the inner wall of the case 52, as shown in FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the outer shape of the lens module 100 is an octagonal shape. In a conventional way, when the lens module and the optical engine module are fixed to each other, the external of the external of the lens module must be configured to have a fixing mechanism, such as a flange, which contacts and fixes to the optical engine module. However, it is not necessary to configure the lens module 100 of the embodiment to have the fixing mechanism, such as a flange, serving as the fixing interface between the lens module 100 and the optical engine module 50. For example, the lens module 100 is directly pushed into the case 52 without using a structure, such as a flange, to fix the lens module 100 and the optical engine module to each other. As a result, the interference between the lens module 100 and the optical engine module 50 caused by the fixing mechanism can be avoided, so the weight and volume of the projection device 10 itself is reduced to improve the optical quality of the projection device 10 and make the projection device 10 lighter. In other words, the lens module 100 of the embodiment exploits modular design without lens tube to fix to the optical engine module 50.

FIG. 5 is a three-dimensional exploded view of the projection device in FIG. 3. FIG. 6 is a three-dimensional exploded view of the projection device in FIG. 5 at a different angle. Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 simultaneously, the lens module 100 includes a first lens 110, a position-limiting element 150, a second lens 120 and a third lens 130 sequentially stacked on each other from a light emitting side to a side of the optical engine module 50, the periphery of each of the position-limiting element 150, the second lens 120 and the third lens 130 includes at least one connecting structure (such as the connecting structures 122, 124, 132, 134, 152 and 154 shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6), and the position-limiting element 150, the second lens 120 and the third lens 130 fit with each other by the at least one connecting structure to stack and form the lens module 100. In the embodiment, the lens module 100 further includes a fourth lens 140, and the third lens 130 is located between the second lens 120 and the fourth lens 140. The fourth lens 140 includes at least one connecting structure 142 and is stacked on the third lens 130 by fitting the at least one connecting structure 142 with the at least one connecting structure 134 of the third lens 130. In other words, in other embodiments, the lens module 100 may be designed to accommodate more or less lenses, but the invention is not limited thereto. Otherwise, in the embodiment, the volume of the lens module 100 may be 3.5 cubic centimeter (CC).

In the embodiment, the size of the position-limiting element 150 is greater than or equal to the size of each lens in the lens module 100. More specifically, in the embodiment, the size of the first lens 110 is smaller than the size of the position-limiting element 150, and the size of each of the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 is equal to the size of the position-limiting element 150, but the invention is not limited thereto. As a result, in the lens module 100, all of the lenses are stacked according to the position-limiting element 150 as a baseline so as to form the lens module 100, and the inner wall of the case 52 fits with the outer shape of the position-limiting element 150 so the lens module 100 is firmly assembled.

In the embodiment, the first lens 110, the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 are plastic lenses, the periphery of the first lens 110 has a circular shape, each of the peripheries of the position-limiting element 150, the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 has a rectangular shape, wherein each of the second lens 120, the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140 has an outer shape integrally formed by extending the periphery outside its effective diameter. In other words, in the lens module 100 of the embodiment, the lenses all are plastic lenses, and the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 are rectangular plastic lenses. In the lens module 100 of the other embodiment, the lenses all are plastic lenses, and the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 are square plastic lenses. Therefore, the peripheries outside the effective diameters of the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 may be configured to have at least one connecting structure 122, 124, 132, or 134 as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. For example, the outer size of the first lens 110 is represented by the diameter and is equal to 8.6 mm, the outer size of the second lens 120 is 9.6×9.6 mm, the outer size of the third lens 130 is 9.6×9.6 mm, the outer size of the fourth lens 140 is 9.6×9.6 mm, and the outer size of the position-limiting element 150 is 9.6×9.6 mm.

In the embodiment, the at least one connecting structure on one side of each of the position-limiting element 150, the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 having rectangular shape includes four connecting structures respectively located at four corners, and each of the connecting structures may be a mesa structure, double-mesa structure, or recess structure. However, the type and model of each connecting structure in the lens module 100 is not limited in the invention.

To be more specific, there are connecting structures 152 and 154 respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the position-limiting element 150, and, for example, the connecting structure 152 is a mesa structure and the connecting structure 154 is a recess structure. The inner diameter of the connecting structure 152 on the side, which faces the stop ST, of the position-limiting element 150 is configured to accommodate and retain the outer of the first lens 110. Therefore, the first lens 110 can be firmly fitted inside the connecting structure 152 of the position-limiting element 150 without any other additional fixing mechanism, so as to reduce the occupied volume of the lens module 100. There are connecting structures 122 and 124 respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the second lens 120, and the connecting structures 122 and 124 all are mesa structures, for example. The connecting structure 154 on the side, which faces the optical engine module 50, of the position-limiting element 150 is configured to accommodate the connecting structure 122 on the side, which faces the stop ST, of the second lens 120. Therefore, the second lens 120 can be firmly fitted inside the connecting structure 154 of the position-limiting element 150 without any other additional fixing mechanism.

Moreover, there are connecting structures 132 and 134 respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the third lens 130, and, for example, the connecting structure 132 is a double-mesa structure and the connecting structure 134 is a mesa structure. The inner diameter of the connecting structure 132 on the side, which faces the stop ST, of the third lens 130 is configured to accommodate the outer of the connecting structure 124 on the side, which faces the optical engine module 50, of the second lens 120. Therefore, the second lens 120 can be firmly fitted inside the connecting structure 132 of the third lens 130 without any other additional fixing mechanism. There is a connecting structure 142 on a side, which faces the stop ST, of the fourth lens 140, and the connecting structure 142 is a mesa structure, for example. The inner diameter of the connecting structure 142 on the side, which faces the stop ST, of the fourth lens 140 is configured to accommodate the outer of the connecting structure 134 on the side, which faces the optical engine module 50, of the third lens 130. Therefore, the third lens 130 can be firmly fitted inside the connecting structure 142 of the fourth lens 140 without any other additional fixing mechanism. Consequently, the lens module 100 can firmly assembled by fitting the connecting structures of the position-limiting element 150, the second lens 120, the third lens 130, and the fourth lens 140 with each other, so that a good optical quality is achieved and no additional fixing mechanism is required. As a result, the volume of the lens module 100 is further reduced, and the weight of the projection device 10 is also reduced.

FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional schematic view of the projection device in FIG. 3 along a section line A-A. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, in the embodiment, an effective diameter D1 of the first lens 110 is greater than an effective diameter DO of the stop ST. The effective diameter D1 of the first lens 110 is smaller than each of an effective diameter D2 of the second lens 120, an effective diameter D3 of the third lens 130, and an effective diameter D4 of the fourth lens 140. In addition, the effective diameter D2 of the second lens 120 is greater than the effective diameter D3 of the third lens 130, and the effective diameter D3 of the third lens 130 is greater than the effective diameter D4 of the fourth lens 140. For example, the effective diameter DO of the stop ST is 3.84 mm, the effective diameter D1 of the first lens 110 is 6 mm, the effective diameter D2 of the second lens 120 is 8.4 mm, the effective diameter D3 of the third lens 130 is 8.2 mm, and the effective diameter D4 of the fourth lens 140 is 7.8 mm, but the invention is not limited thereto. That is, in the embodiment, after passing through the prism element 40 inside the optical engine module 50, the image light beam LI emitted from the optical engine module 50 enters the lens module 100 through the fourth lens 140. The fourth lens 140 is, for example, a bi-convex lens and makes the image light beam LI converge to the third lens 130, the third lens 130 is, for example, a concave lens and makes the image light beam LI diverge to the second lens 120, and the second lens 120 is, for example, a convex lens and makes the image light beam LI converge to the first lens 110.

It is worth mentioning that, after the image light beam is transmitted to the third lens 130, the marginal ray, which has maximum angle of view, leaves the third lens 130 in a direction away from the optical axis. After the image light beam enters the second lens 120, the marginal ray, which has maximum angle of view, turns in a direction toward the optical axis. Therefore, the effective diameter D1 of the first lens 110 is smaller than the effective diameter D2 of the second lens 120. Moreover, the image light beam leaving the first lens 110 converges to the stop ST and enters the coupling inlet of the light guiding device (such as the coupling inlet 210 of the light guiding device 200 shown in FIG. 1), and the light guiding device projects the projection light beam LP to the pupil PS. Moreover, the effective diameter DO of the stop ST is smaller than the effective diameter D1 of the first lens 110.

Besides, in the present embodiment, the lens module 100 further includes a first light-shielding element 160 and a second light-shielding element 170. The first light-shielding element 160 is disposed between the second lens 120 and the third lens 130. The second light-shielding element 170 is disposed between the third lens 130 and the fourth lens 140. As a result, the shielding effect is provided at the peripheries of the lenses in the lens module 100, so as to further increase optical quality.

Moreover, in the present embodiment, the lens module 100 further includes a plurality of adhesive layers 180 respectively disposed in gaps between the adjacent connecting structures. As a result, the structural stability is further improved so as to achieve a good optical quality. In the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 180 may be glue, for example. For example, the adhesive layer 180 is ultraviolet light curing adhesive that is provided between the connecting structures by spot gluing/dispensing method, and then ultraviolet light is irradiated to cure the adhesive layer 180 so as to fix the elements in the lens module 100, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 7, in the embodiment, the first lens 110 may also have a connecting structure 112, and the connecting structure 112 is disposed at the periphery of the first lens 110, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In summary, the embodiments of the invention have at least one of the advantages or effects below. In the embodiment of the invention, the position-limiting element, the second lens and the third lens fit with each other by the respective connecting structures to stack and form the lens module. Therefore, a good optical quality is achieved without any additional fixing mechanism, so as to reduce the volume of the lens module and to reduce the weight of the projection device.
