摘要:
A method for evaluating the quality of a lens has the steps of: illuminating imaging light on a screen through the lens to form a projected image, where the imaging light having a test-pattern image is generated using a test sheet on which a test pattern for measuring a resolution of the lens is formed to evaluate the resolution of the lens; detecting a brightness of the test-pattern image displayed on the screen by an image-capturing device using an imaging sensor; calculating an input level on the basis of the detected brightness of the test-pattern image; and calculating an evaluated value of resolution. In the method, furthermore, there is provided the step of adjusting a position of the test sheet to a position corresponding to a focus of the lens by detecting the test-pattern image while moving the test sheet back and forth in the direction along an optical axis of the lens is further comprised.

The present invention provides a position-control device for a light modulation device, capable of easily performing a position-control operation. A position-control device is provided with a reference projection lens built therein capable of being commonly used, the reference projection lens projecting light combined by a crossed dichroic prism and forming a projection image, and having a predetermined optical characteristic. If the position of the optical axis is aligned once when the reference projection lens was built in, it is not necessary to align the optical axes every time the positions of liquid crystal panels are controlled and the replacement of the liquid crystal panels and the crossed dichroic prism is only required, whereby the position-control operation can be easily performed.

An attitude of a measurement reference surface of a positioning master is adjusted using an auto-collimator, the positioning master being disposed so that the adjusted measurement reference surface is located on a designed position, and the light beam irradiated from the measurement reference surface is detected by a CCD camera to set the reference position. A calibrated position relative to the designed position is set based on average optical characteristics obtained by a projection lens inspection apparatus as an initializing process and the CCD camera is moved to the calibrated position. An optical device is mounted and a position of a liquid crystal panel is adjusted while detecting the light beam irradiated from the light-irradiating surface of a cross dichroic prism of the optical device by the CCD camera and the liquid crystal panel is fixed with ultraviolet curing adhesive.

A first positioning step S1 positions and fixes a light focusing element and a polarization converting element. A beam introducing step S5 introduces beams to a beam splitting element, the light focusing element and the polarization converting element. An optical image forming step S6 detects an optical image through the above elements. An illumination-area comparing step S9 performs an image processing on the detected optical image to compare an illumination area formed by the optical image with a designed illumination area. A beam-splitting-element position-adjusting step S11 adjusts the position of the beam splitting element. An optimal-state determining step S10 determines the optimal state of the illumination area of the optical image with respect to the designed illumination area on the basis of the comparison result. The position of the beam splitting element is adjusted in a beam splitting element position-adjusting step S11 when the beam splitting element is not located in the optimal position. A second positioning step S12 positions and fixes the beam splitting element to the light focusing element and the polarization converting element.

An object (44) to be cooled is fixed on the base portion (52) and heat is conducted from the object (44) to the base portion (52) where the conducted heat is radiated. The fan body (511) provided on the cooling device (5) blows a cooling air to cool the object (44). Accordingly, the heat on the object (44) is cooled by the cooling air blown by the fan body (511) and also by the heat-radiation by a heat radiator on the cooling device (5).
