摘要:
The present invention provides a small projection type display apparatus capable of suppressing an optical path of incident light and an optical path of output light in a reflection type light valve from being overlapped with each other and obtaining a projected image of high quality; a rear projector and a multi-vision system using the same. The projection type display apparatus is composed of an illumination optical system 2 for collecting light radiated from a light source 1 to form illumination light, a reflection type light valve 6 for reflecting the illumination light to output modulated light forming an optical image, a projection lens system 7 for projecting an optical image formed by the reflection type light valve, and a lens element 5 with a positive power. The lens element 5 is composed of one plano-convex lens, and is placed between the reflection type light valve and the projection lens system with a convex surface directed to the projection lens system, in such a manner that the illumination light passes through the lens element to illuminate the reflection type light valve, and the modulated light output from the reflection type light valve passes through the lens element to be incident upon the projection lens system.

In a liquid crystal light valve apparatus comprising an incident side polarizing plate, a twisted nematic liquid crystal cell of active matrix type and an outgoing side polarizing plate, two phase difference plates are provided between the incident side polarizing plate and the liquid crystal cell. Optical axes of both the phase difference plates are perpendicular with each other, and one of them is slanted by an angle, and thereby, a phase difference which is caused by the liquid crystal cell is compensated by the phase difference caused by two phase difference plates.

A conventional optical illumination device has a problem in which uneven brightness appears in an inclining direction when an illuminated region inclined with respect to an optical axis is illuminated. An optical illumination device is formed by using a front optical illumination system, an eccentric lens, and a relay lens. The front optical illumination system is composed of a lamp, an elliptical-surface mirror, a UV-IR cut filter, a condenser, a first lens, and a second lens. The relay lens conjugates a second light-emitting surface and a third light-emitting surface that are inclined with respect to an optical axis. The eccentric lens is made eccentric with respect to an optical axis, effectively emits light, which is emitted from the second lens, to the relay lens, and inclines the second light-emitting surface in a direction in which brightness gradient appearing on the relay lens is canceled.

A projection type display apparatus is composed of a light source (101), an illumination optical system (102) for forming illumination light, a reflection type light valve (106) for reflecting the illumination light to form an optical image, a projection optical system (107) for projecting the optical image, and a lens (105) with a positive power. An optical axis (115) of the reflection type light valve, an optical axis (113) of the projection optical system, and an optical axis (114) of the lens with a positive power are matched with each other. The illumination optical system (102) is placed so that the illumination light passes through the lens (105) with a positive power and is reflected from the reflection type light valve (106). An output pupil (108) of the illumination optical system (102) and an entrance pupil (109) of the projection optical system (107) are placed so as to have a conjugate relationship with respect to the lens (105) with a positive power.

A projection display apparatus includes a light source, a light valve, and a projection lens. The light source includes at least two luminous elements, a plurality of light condensing devices provided in the same number as the luminous elements, and a light transmitting device for transmitting the light beams outgoing from the respective light condensing devices to the light valve in a superimposed state. The light transmitting optical device forms actual images of the plurality of luminous elements on an optical path thereof so that the actual images are substantially inscribed in a circle on the same, single plane. The projection display apparatus further includes a device for lighting up at least one of the plurality of luminous elements selectively so as to change the brightness of the image displayed by projection by steps.

A projection display apparatus has a light source, a component color separator, a light transmitter(s), three light valves, a light combiner, a single projection lens, and a drive circuit. The light transmitter includes an input side convergent lens for producing a real image of a luminous element in the light source at a location adjacent to a central convergent lens. The central convergent lens produces a real image of an object situated about a position of the input side convergent lens at a location adjacent to an output side convergent lens. The output side convergent lens permits its output light to reach the projection lens. Accordingly, divergent light is converged along a considerably extending portion of the optical path and directed to the projection lens so that the efficiency of light in use can be improved, thus allowing the projection display apparatus to remain compact in size and provide a great light output power.
摘要:
A projection display apparatus which is designed to separate a light from the light source into color lights of three primary colors by a color separator, irradiate the respective color lights to corresponding three light valves, combine the optical images on the light valves by a light combiner formed by intersecting dichroic reflection surfaces in X-letter form, followed by projecting the combined image by enlargement on a screen with a projection lens. The color separator is made by intersecting in X-letter form a first and second flat plate type dichroic mirrors. The second dichroic mirror is composed of two small dichroic mirrors made by separating into two parts of the intersecting part. The two small type dichroic mirrors are disposed on mutually different places so that, when viewed from the output side of the light which advances straightly through the color separator, the two edge surfaces which form the intersecting part of the two small dichroic mirrors are seen as being in overlapped state. Due to the existence of the two places of the intersecting parts of the dichroic mirrors, it is possible to make the produced bright lines on the projected image lens conspicuous.

摘要:
A projection display apparatus includes a light source (1), an illumination system (8), a reflection system (9), a reflection-type light modulator (10), a lens element (11), and a projection system (12). The optical axis (8a) of the illumination system (8) and the optical axis (12a) of the projection system (12) are skew lines. The lens element (11) allows the exit pupil (8b) of the illumination system (8) to be conjugated substantially with the entrance pupil (12b) of the projection system (12). Thus, the reflection-type light modulator (10) and the projection system (12) can be arranged coaxially. Moreover, mechanical contact or interference between the optical components can be eliminated, and the space can be utilized efficiently. This configuration can provide an inexpensive compact projection display apparatus using a reflection-type light modulator.
