BACKGROUND ART

In optical projection display, a combination of red light, green light and blue light is used as a projection light source. In order to improve the brightness of the projection screen, it is necessary to increase the amount of light rays of corresponding colors, that is, increase the luminous flux. The current method of increasing the luminous flux is to increase the current of corresponding power supply, so that light sources corresponding to the three colors can generate more light rays. However, the red light source is relatively sensitive to temperature, and when the current increases to a certain level, the amount of red light rays increases, resulting in a thermal effect, which leads to a sudden drop in the light emitting efficiency of the red light source. To this end, using two kinds of red light sources to cooperate with each other, so as to reduce thermal effect generated by the red light source.

Based on the embodiments according to the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In optical projection display, a combination of red, green and blue lights is used as a projection light source. In order to improve the brightness of the projection screen, the current of corresponding power supply is generally increased, so that light sources corresponding to the three colors can generate more light rays. However, the red light source is relatively sensitive to temperature, and when the current increases to a certain level, the amount of red light increases, resulting in a thermal effect, which leads to a sudden drop in the light emitting efficiency of the red light source. To this end, using two kinds of red light sources to cooperate with each other, so as to reduce thermal effect produced by the red light source. However, the light emitting efficiency of light sources having other colors is still low, and it is difficult to effectively improve the overall brightness of the projection screen.

In order to solve the above problems, referring to FIG. 1, the present disclosure provides a projection optical path, which includes a triple light source system 1, a single light source system 2 and an excitation light source 50. The triple light source system 1 emits a first converged light, the single light source system 2 emits a light with a monochromatic wavelength, and the first converged light and the light with the monochromatic wavelength are cross-converged. The triple light source system 1 includes a first light source 10, a second light source and a fourth light source 40, the first light source 10 emits a light with a first wavelength, the second light source 20 emits a light with a second wavelength, the fourth light source 40 emits a light with a fourth wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are converged to form a second converged light, the second converged light and the light with the first wavelength are converged to form the first converged light. The single light source system 2 includes a third light source 30, the third light source 30 emits a light with a third wavelength; the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the third wavelength have different colors, the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, and the light with the third wavelength are respectively one of red light, green light, and blue light. That is, when the light with the first wavelength is a green light, the light with the second wavelength may be a red light, and the light with the third wavelength may be a blue light; or, when the light with the first wavelength is a green light, the light with the second wavelength may be a blue light, and the light with the third wavelength may be a red light. Alternatively, when the light with the first wavelength is a red light, the light with the second wavelength may be a green light, and the light with the third wavelength may be a blue light; or, when the light with the first wavelength is a red light, the light with the second wavelength may be a blue light, and the light with the third wavelength may be a green light. Alternatively, when the light with the first wavelength is a blue light, the light with the second wavelength may be a green light, and the light with the third wavelength may be a red light; or, when the light with the first wavelength is a blue light, the light with the second wavelength may be a red light, and the light with the third wavelength may be a green light. The colors of the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the third wavelength are selected among red light, green light and blue light, and the colors of the three wavelength lights are different from each other. A wavelength range of the light with the fourth wavelength is within a wavelength range of the red light; the wavelength of the light with the fourth wavelength is defined as λ1, the wavelength of the one among the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the third wavelength set as the red light is λ2, and λ1≠λ2. As an example, the wavelength of red light is in a range between 600 nm and 740 nm, if the light with the first wavelength is a red light, and the wavelength λ2 of the light with the first wavelength is 620 nm, then the wavelength λ1 of the light with the fourth wavelength is 650 nm. As another example, if the wavelength λ2 of the light with the first wavelength is 625 nm, the wavelength λ1 of the light with the fourth wavelength is 660 nm. Wherein, the first light source 10, the second light source 20, the third light source 30 and the fourth light source 40 may be light-emitting diodes (LEDs), or may be laser diodes (LDs), or may also be super luminescent diodes (SLDs). Monochromatic wavelength light is the wavelength light of a certain color. Monochromatic wavelength light has a certain wavelength range.

An excitation light source 50 emits an excitation light, and the excitation light is emitted to the triple light source system 11 or the single light source system 2. The excitation light source 50 is a pumping lamp. For example, the excitation light is a blue light, and the blue excitation light is emitted to the first light source 10 or the second light source 20, thereby increasing the fluorescent molecules of corresponding light source, and correspondingly increasing the emitting amount of light rays of corresponding light source.

In addition, it is known to those skilled in the art that the light emitted by any light source is a light beam with a certain wavelength range, therefore the light with the first wavelength in the present disclosure refers to a light beam with the first wavelength as a dominant wavelength, and the wavelength of the light with the first wavelength in the present disclosure refers to the dominant wavelength of the light with the first wavelength. Correspondingly, the same is adapted to the light with the second wavelength, the light with the third wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength. Wherein, the dominant wavelength may also be understood as a central wavelength.

According to the technical solution of the present disclosure, the light with the second wavelength emitted by the second light source 20 of the triple light source system 1 and the light with the fourth wavelength emitted by the fourth light source 40 are converged to form a second convergent light, and the light with the first wavelength emitted by the first light source 10 and the second convergent light are converged to form the first convergent light. The light with the third wavelength emitted by the third light source 30 of the single light source system 2 is emitted to the first convergent light, so that the convergence of four paths of light is completed. Wherein, the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, and the light with the third wavelength are respectively one of red light, green light, and blue light, and the lights of three colors are combined to become a light source of a projection screen. The fourth light source is also a red light, as such, when increasing the brightness of the projection screen, the red color of the projection light source is provided by two light sources, which reduces the occurrence of thermal effect in a single red light source, and reduces a sudden drop in the light emitting efficiency, so as to ensure that the projection light source can operate stably.

In addition, the red wavelength of the light with the fourth wavelength is different from the wavelength of red light in the first light source 10, the second light source 20 or the third light source 30. Accordingly, the projection optical path can be divided into multiple paths for transmission, which reduces the mutual interference between the light with the fourth wavelength of the fourth light source 40 and the red light in the other three light sources, and ensures that lights are converged at the same position and then emitted.

Further, the triple light source system 1 includes a first light source 10, a second light source 20 and a fourth light source 40, and the third light source 30 is disposed in the single light source system 2, and the triple light source system 1 and the single light source system 2 can be installed independently. Therefore, the installation of the light sources in the projection optical path is completed through two times of installations, so that the installation efficiency is improved.

Further, providing two light source systems so as to facilitate a rapid placement, in this way, the design of optical path can be simplified.

Further, by providing an excitation light source, the excitation light of the excitation light source 50 is emitted to the triple light source system 1 or the single light source system 2, so that the light emitting efficiency is improved. After the excitation light is emitted to the green light source, the fluorescent molecules of the green light source can be increased. It can be seen from this that the excitation light is emitted to the green light source, and which one of the light sources is a green light source, the excitation light will be emitted to such a light source.

In the above embodiment, in order to ensure that the excitation light can be accurately emitted to the first light source 10 or the second light source 20, the triple light source system 1 further includes a first beam splitter 710, the first beam splitter 710 is disposed at a crossing position of the second converged light and the light with the first wavelength, and the excitation light source 50 is disposed at a side of the first beam splitter 710 away from the second light source 20.

Alternatively, the second source 20 is a green light source, a surface of the first beam splitter 710 facing the excitation light source 50 is provided with an anti-reflection film for the excitation light, and the excitation light is transmitted to the second light source 20. The blue excitation light is transmitted through the first beam splitter 710 and emitted to the second light source 20, thereby increasing the fluorescent molecules of green light, and accordingly increasing the emitting amount of green light.

In the above embodiment, in order to effectively converge the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength, the triple light source system 1 further includes a second beam splitter 720, the second beam splitter 720 is disposed at a crossing position of the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength, a surface of the second beam splitter 720 facing the second light source 20 is provided with an anti-reflection film for the light with the second wavelength, and a surface of the second beam splitter 720 facing the fourth light source 40 is provided with a reflective film for the light with the fourth wavelength. By means of reflecting the light with the fourth wavelength by the second beam splitter 720 and transmitting the light with the second wavelength by the second beam splitter 720, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are emitted from the same surface of the second beam splitter 720, so that the convergence of the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength is completed. Wherein, the anti-reflection film for the light with the second wavelength and the reflective film for the light with the fourth wavelength may be disposed on the same surface of the second beam splitter 720, or may be disposed on both surfaces of the second beam splitter 720 respectively.

Specifically, the projection optical path includes a first light emitting end surface 910, the first light emitting end surface 910 is perpendicular to an exit direction of the light with the first wavelength; the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are transmitted through the third beam splitter 730, the light with the third wavelength is reflected by the third beam splitter 730, the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, the light with the third wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are converged by the third beam splitter 730 and the converged light of the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, the light with the third wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength is emitted from the first light emitting end surface 910. Wherein, a surface of the third beam splitter 730 facing the first beam splitter 710 is provided with an anti-reflection film for the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength, and a surface of the third beam splitter 730 facing the third light source 30 is provided with a reflective film for the light with the third wavelength. Thereby, in a case where the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are transmitted through the third beam splitter 730, and the light with the third wavelength is reflected by the third beam splitter 730, the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, the light with the third wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength can be converged and combined, and the converged light is emitted from the first light emitting end surface 910. Wherein, the anti-reflection film for the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength and the reflective film for the light with the third wavelength may be disposed on the same surface of the third beam splitter 730, or may be disposed on both surfaces of the third beam splitter 730 respectively.

For example, the light with the first wavelength is a green light, the light with the second wavelength is a red light, and the light with the third wavelength is a blue light, a surface of the third beam splitter 730 facing the first light source 10 is provided with an anti-reflection film for the green light and red light, and a surface of the third beam splitter 730 facing the third light source 30 is provided with a reflective film for the blue light. The wavelength range of the green light is close to that of the red light, so that a higher transmittance can be obtained when they passing through the third beam splitter 730. Likewise, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are both red lights with different wavelengths and similar wavelength ranges, and a higher transmittance rate can be obtained when they passing through the third beam splitter 730. Therefore, the three light source system 1 includes a green light source and a red light source, and the single light source system includes a blue light source, as such, the light emitting amount can be further improved, and the decreasing of light emitting amount due to a large wavelength range difference can be reduced.

In addition, the embodiment also provides another light emitting direction, the projection optical path includes a second light emitting end surface 920, the second light emitting end surface 920 is parallel to the emitting direction of the light with the first wavelength; the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are reflected by the third beam splitter 730, the light with the third wavelength is transmitted through the third beam splitter 730, the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, the light with the third wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are converged by the third beam splitter 730 and the converged light of the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, the light with the third wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength is emitted from the second light emitting end surface 920.

Therefore, in a case where the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength are reflected by the third beam splitter 730, and the light with the third wavelength is transmitted through the third beam splitter 730, the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength, the light with the third wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength can be converged and combined, and the converged light can be emitted from the second light emitting end surface 920. Wherein, the reflective film for the light with the first wavelength, the light with the second wavelength and the light with the fourth wavelength and the anti-reflection film for the light with the third wavelength may be disposed on the same surface of the third beam splitter 730, or may be disposed on both surfaces of the third beam splitter 730 respectively.

Further, the projection optical path includes a number of collimating lens groups 60, the collimating lens groups 60 are at least disposed in the light-emitting direction of one of the first light source 10, the second light source 20, the third light source 30 and the fourth light source 40, corresponding light rays can be accurately emitted to corresponding positions through the collimating lens groups 60.

The collimating lens group 60 may also include three collimating lenses, and the three collimating lenses may also be any one of spherical lens, aspheric lens or free-form surface lens.

In addition, in order to reduce the diffusing of the first converged light, the projection optical path further includes a first condenser lens 810, the first condenser lens 810 is disposed in an optical path between the first beam splitter 710 and third beam splitter 730.

Further, in the embodiment, in order to avoid the interference influence of the fourth light source 40 on the second light emitting end surface 920, a distance between the first beam splitter 710 and the third beam splitter 730 can be lengthened, so that the second light emitting end surface 920 and the fourth light source 40 can be spaced apart by a certain distance.
