In this embodiment, each of the fluorescence material structure layers includes a plurality of substrates, a plurality of gas barrier layers, and a fluorescence material layer. Each fluorescence material layer is interposed between two gas barrier layers. Each fluorescence material layer and the two gas barrier layers on two sides of the fluorescence material layer are interposed between two substrates. For example, the fluorescence material structure layer 528G includes substrates 513 and 514, gas barrier layers 511 and 512, and a fluorescence material layer 510G. The fluorescence material layer 510G is interposed between the two gas barrier layers 511 and 512. The fluorescence material layer 510G and the two gas barrier layers 511 and 512 on two sides of the fluorescence material layer 510G are interposed between the two substrates 513 and 514. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the fluorescence material layer 510G from being affected by oxygen and moisture, the two gas barrier layers 511 and 512 are disposed to keep out water vapor, but the invention is not limited thereto. A water vapor transmission rate (WVTR, index for testing the gas barrier layer) of the gas barrier layers 511 and 512 is smaller than or equal to 10−2 g/m2/day to achieve the protection. Nevertheless, the invention is not limited thereto, and the water vapor transmission rate may be adjusted according to the actual design requirement. In this embodiment, a material of the substrates 513 and 514 includes polyethylene terephthalate (PET), for example. A thickness thereof is about 150 um, for example. However, it should be noted that the material and thickness illustrated here are merely examples and the invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the barrier layers 511 and 512 may be a high barrier film, as the model name MS-F0025P or MS-F0050P of LINTEC Corporation, for example, the invention is not limited thereto.
The layered structures of the fluorescence material structure layers 528R and 528B of this embodiment may be formed accordingly and thus are not repeated hereinafter. In this embodiment, the fluorescence material layers 510G, 520R, and 530B are respectively excited to generate a green beam, a red beam, and a blue beam, for example.
The fluorescence material structure layers 728G and 728R and the optical adhesive layer 740 of this embodiment are similar to the fluorescence material structure layers 528G and 528R and the optical adhesive layer 540 of the embodiment of
On average, the particle sizes of the particles of the fluorescence material are smaller than 1/10 of the waveband of the exciting beam. The exciting beam generates Rayleigh scattering after irradiating the fluorescence material particles and is uniformly scattered in all directions and causes the unidirectional light emitting efficiency to be insufficient. Therefore, in this embodiment, the Mie scattering particles P0 are doped into the matrix 829 and are uniformly distributed therein randomly and arbitrarily. In this embodiment, the particle size of the Mie scattering particles P0 is smaller than 5 um and greater than or equal to 0.5 um. The Mie scattering particles P0 are 1% to 5% by weight of the fluorescence layer 828. The fluorescence material layer 828 may be any one of the fluorescence material layers 510G, 520R, and 530B of

In conclusion of the above, the embodiments of the invention achieve at least one of the following advantages or effects. In the embodiments of the invention, the projection apparatus utilizes the photoluminescence (PL) mechanism of the fluorescence layers of the screen to selectively output exciting beams having different exciting wavebands, so as to excite the fluorescence material layers to generate image beams of different colors for the screen to provide the colorful image frame. The projection apparatus provides a display signal and may be coordinated with the touch panel to form an interactive transparent projection system. The substrate of the screen is coated with the transparent fluorescence materials that can be excited to generate image beams of different colors. Therefore, in the embodiments of the invention, the fluorescence material layers of the screen are respectively excited by the exciting beams, which are emitted by the projection apparatus and have a plurality of different wavebands, to emit image beams having different wavebands, so as to form the image frame. Thereby, the projection system renders favorable display quality.
