Abstract:
An optical module including a first integration rod, a polarization beam splitting unit, a first reflector, a first quarter-wave plate, and a light source is provided. The first integration rod has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The polarization beam splitting unit is disposed at a side of the first end. The polarization beam splitting unit reflects a beam with a first polarization direction and allows a beam with a second polarization direction to pass through. The first reflector is disposed at a side of the second end. The first quarter-wave plate is disposed between the polarization beam splitting unit and the first reflector. The light source provides a light beam to the polarization beam splitting unit. The light beam includes a first polarization beam with the first polarization direction. The polarization beam splitting unit reflects the first polarization beam to the first integration rod.

An illumination system including a coherent light source and a speckle-reducing module is provided. The coherent light source is adopted for providing a light beam. The speckle-reducing module is disposed at an optical path of the light beam. The speckle-reducing module includes a rotator, a carrier and an optical path adjusting member. The rotator is adopted for rotating on a reference plane about a spindle axis passing through the rotator. The spindle axis is substantially perpendicular to the reference plane. The carrier is disposed at the rotator. The optical path adjusting member is disposed at the carrier and at the optical path of the light beam. The optical path adjusting member has an incident surface inclined at an angle with respect to the reference plane.

Abstract:
An illumination system includes a coherent light source providing an illumination beam, a light integrator positioned on a transmission path of the illumination beam, and a first actuator connected to the light integrator. The light integrator has a light entering end and a light exit end opposite to the light entering end, and the light entering end faces the coherent light source. The first actuator is capable of driving the light integrator to about a rotation axis perpendicular to a light axis of the illumination beam passing through the light integrator, so as to change a position at the light entering end entered by the illumination beam.

An illumination system including a light integration rod, light source modules and a light guide element is provided. The light integration rod has a light incident end and a light exit end. The light source modules are disposed adjacent to the light incident end, and each light source module is suitable for providing a converging light beam. The light guide element is disposed adjacent to the light incident end and between the light source modules for guiding each light beam to be incident to the light integration rod. The optical axes of the light beams are parallel to each other and a distance exists between any two optical axes of the light beams. The light beams are combined inside the light integration rod and emitted from the light exit end to provide an illumination beam. Moreover, a projection apparatus having the illumination system is provided.

An illumination system includes a point light source array, a lens and a collimating lens. The collimating lens is disposed between the point light source array and the lens. The point light source array is suitable for emitting a planar light source and both the lens and the collimating lens are disposed on the optical path of the planar light source.

Abstract:
An optical touch system includes a non-visible light source, a screen, a first and second polarizing elements, and an optical detector. The non-visible light source emits a non-visible beam. A part of the non-visible beam passes through the screen disposed in a light path of the non-visible beam. The touch object reflects the part of the non-visible beam into an object beam when a touch object approaches or touches the screen, and the object beam passes through the screen. The first polarizing element is disposed in the light path of the non-visible beam and between the non-visible light source and the screen. The optical detector is disposed in a light path of the object beam, and senses the object beam. The second polarizing element is disposed in the light path of the object beam passing through the screen and between the screen and the optical detector.

An optical projection apparatus includes an illumination system, a projection lens unit, a reflective light valve, a first beam breaker and a second beam breaker. A light beam is provided by the illumination system. The projection lens unit and the reflective light valve are disposed on the transmission path of the light beam, and the reflective light valve is disposed between the illumination system and the projection lens unit. The first beam breaker and the second beam breaker are used to cut into the transmission path of the light beam from different directions to block a part of the light beam, and part of the light beam passes through the first beam breaker and the second beam breaker. The darker image projected by the optical projection apparatus has higher contrast and better uniformity.
Abstract:
An optical system disposes a total reflection lens between a light valve and a projection lens. When a white light beam, emitting from a light source, passes through a color-generating device, the color of the light beam is sequentially converted into red, green, and blue primaries, and uniformed by an integrator. Then, the light beam impinges into the total reflection lens and is reflected to the light valve. The light valve reflects the light beam into a projection lens to be projected on a screen. Therefore, this invention increases the projection efficiency, and reduces the bulk and components of the optical system.
