Description

立体投影光的偏振调制装置、方法及立体影像放映系统Stereoscopic projection light polarization modulation device, method and stereoscopic image projection system

技术领域technical field

本发明属于投影显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种立体投影光的偏振调制装置、方法及立体影像放映系统。The invention belongs to the technical field of projection display, and in particular relates to a polarization modulation device and method for stereoscopic projection light and a stereoscopic image projection system.

背景技术Background technique

立体影像的观影原理,是由人的左右眼分别接收按照帧顺序播放的左右眼视频图像,再经过大脑将左右眼视频图像予以合成,产生立体效果。The principle of stereoscopic video viewing is that the left and right eyes of a person respectively receive the video images of the left and right eyes played in frame order, and then synthesize the video images of the left and right eyes through the brain to produce a stereoscopic effect.

目前的左右眼接收图像的技术主要有左右偏振分光方式、左右快门开关同步方式和左右红蓝分光方式等,其中,左右偏振分光方式的使用更为广泛。在左右偏振分光方式中,按照技术发展轨迹先后产生了单光路偏振分光技术和双光路偏振分光技术。The current left and right eye image receiving technologies mainly include the left and right polarization splitting methods, the left and right shutter switch synchronization methods, and the left and right red and blue splitting methods, among which the left and right polarization splitting methods are more widely used. In the left and right polarization splitting methods, single optical path polarization splitting technology and dual optical path polarization splitting technology have been produced successively according to the technological development track.

一种典型的单光路偏振分光的原理如图1所示,投影机11按照帧顺序依次投射出携带有左眼图像的投影光束和携带有右眼图像的投影光束,投影光束由偏振片12进行起偏而转换为线偏振光,再由偏振调制器13根据帧顺序调制出左旋圆偏振光和右旋圆偏振光、并投射至幕布15,观众的左右眼分别通过佩戴的圆偏光眼镜16接收由幕布15反射的左旋圆偏振光和右旋圆偏振光,其中同步电路14用于控制投影机11和偏振调制器13同步工作。但是由于偏振片12为吸收型,在起偏过程中仅将部分光能量进行起偏而舍弃了另一部分光能量,使得大量的光能量在偏振片12上转化为热量,在使用高亮度的电影投影机时,偏振片12的温度会迅速上升,使得偏振片12的老化速度加快,光学性能明显变差,严重时强光束会将偏振片12烧毁。因此单光路偏振分光后来被双光路偏振分光取代。A typical principle of single-path polarization splitting is shown in Figure 1. The projector 11 sequentially projects a projection beam carrying an image for the left eye and a projection beam carrying an image for the right eye in sequence of frames, and the projection beams are separated by a polarizer 12. Polarized and converted into linearly polarized light, then the polarization modulator 13 modulates the left-handed circularly polarized light and the right-handed circularly polarized light according to the frame sequence, and projects it to the screen 15, and the left and right eyes of the audience receive it through the circularly polarized glasses 16 worn respectively. The left-handed circularly polarized light and the right-handed circularly polarized light reflected by the curtain 15, wherein the synchronization circuit 14 is used to control the synchronous operation of the projector 11 and the polarization modulator 13. However, because the polarizer 12 is an absorption type, only part of the light energy is polarized and another part of the light energy is discarded during the polarizing process, so that a large amount of light energy is converted into heat on the polarizer 12. When using high-brightness film When the projector is used, the temperature of the polarizer 12 will rise rapidly, so that the aging speed of the polarizer 12 is accelerated, and the optical performance is obviously deteriorated. In serious cases, the strong light beam will burn the polarizer 12 . Therefore, the single optical path polarization splitting was later replaced by the dual optical path polarization splitting.

双光路偏振分光方式的原理如图2所示,主要基于一斜板式的分光棱镜实现,该分光棱镜具有一倾斜设置的偏振分光膜2,来自投影机的投影光束被偏振分光膜分束为透射的P偏振光和反射的S偏振光,然后再将P偏振光转换为S偏振光或将S偏振光转换为P偏振光,最后再统一将两束光按照帧顺序调制为左旋圆偏振光或右旋圆偏振光。由于投影光在起偏过程中被充分利用,也提高了投影光线的利用率和投影画面的亮度。The principle of the dual optical path polarization beam splitting method is shown in Figure 2. It is mainly realized based on a slanted plate type beam splitting prism. The beam splitting prism has a polarizing beam splitting film 2 arranged obliquely. P-polarized light and reflected S-polarized light, and then convert P-polarized light to S-polarized light or convert S-polarized light to P-polarized light, and finally modulate the two beams of light into left-handed circularly polarized light or Right-handed circularly polarized light. Since the projection light is fully utilized in the polarization process, the utilization rate of the projection light and the brightness of the projection picture are also improved.

但是,采用双光路偏振分光的调制系统尺寸会较大,所需光学器件也较大,在器件加工与组装时存在诸多困难。However, the size of the modulation system using dual optical path polarization splitting will be large, and the required optical devices will also be large, and there are many difficulties in device processing and assembly.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

不同于传统的双光路偏振分光方式将投影光束分成一透射光束、一反射光束的思路,本发明实施例将投影光束分为包含两透射、两反射的四束光。Different from the traditional idea of dividing the projected beam into a transmitted beam and a reflected beam in the dual optical path polarization splitting method, the embodiment of the present invention divides the projected beam into four beams including two transmitted beams and two reflected beams.

基于此原理,如图3所示,本发明第一实施例提供了一种立体投影光的偏振调制装置,包括:偏振分束组件31、第一光路方向调整组件32、第二光路方向调整组件33和偏振态调制组件34,各组件的功能介绍如下:Based on this principle, as shown in Figure 3, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a polarization modulation device for stereoscopic projection light, including: a polarization beam splitting component 31, a first optical path direction adjustment component 32, a second optical path direction adjustment component 33 and polarization state modulation component 34, the function of each component is introduced as follows:

偏振分束组件31-----用于将携带有影像信息的投影光束分束为具有第一偏振态的第一透射光束、具有第二偏振态的第二透射光束、具有第二偏振态的第一反射光束和具有第一偏振态的第二反射光束。Polarization beam splitting component 31----used to split the projection beam carrying image information into a first transmitted beam with a first polarization state, a second transmitted beam with a second polarization state, and a second transmitted beam with a second polarization state A first reflected beam of and a second reflected beam having a first polarization state.

本发明实施例所提供的立体投影光的偏振调制装置31在使用时放置于投影机与成像表面(即幕布)之间,用于对投影机所投射出的投影光束进行光学作用,使投影光束在投射至成像表面之前具有统一的线偏振或圆偏振等偏振状态,成像表面再将具有偏振状态的投影光束反射至观众佩戴的3D眼镜中,其中,成像表面需具有保偏特性,即成像表面在反射投影光束的过程中不能改变投影光束的偏振状态,通常采用金属幕布实现。The polarization modulation device 31 for stereoscopic projection light provided by the embodiment of the present invention is placed between the projector and the imaging surface (i.e., the screen) during use, and is used to optically act on the projection beam projected by the projector, so that the projection beam Before projecting onto the imaging surface, it has a uniform polarization state such as linear polarization or circular polarization. The imaging surface then reflects the projection beam with the polarization state to the 3D glasses worn by the audience. In the process of reflecting the projection beam, the polarization state of the projection beam cannot be changed, which is usually realized by a metal screen.

首先,投影机交替投射出携带有左眼影像信息的投影光束和携带有右眼影像信息的投影光束,例如可以以帧顺序的方式投射,类似于播放视频,T1时刻投射携带左眼影像信息的投影光束,T2时刻投射携带右眼影像信息的投影光束、T3时刻再投射携带左眼影像信息的投影光束,T4时刻再投射携带右眼影像信息的投影光束,……,依此类推。从硬件上要求投影机能支持帧频率为100HZ或更高帧频率的视频播放,可采用数字微镜式投影机、硅上液晶式投影机等。First, the projector alternately projects the projection beam carrying the image information of the left eye and the projection beam carrying the image information of the right eye. For the projection beam, the projection beam carrying the image information of the right eye is projected at time T2, the projection beam carrying image information of the left eye is projected at time T3, the projection beam carrying image information of the right eye is projected again at time T4, and so on. In terms of hardware, the projector is required to support video playback with a frame frequency of 100HZ or higher, and digital micromirror projectors, liquid crystal on silicon projectors, etc. can be used.

然后,由偏振分束组件31对投影光束进行偏振分束,本发明实施例中,偏振分束组件31将投影光束分为四束光,即第一透射光束、第一反射光束、第二透射光束、第二反射光束。其中,第一透射光束与第一反射光束携带的图像信息相同、并且在成像表面上的成像位置相同,相应地,第二透射光束与第二反射光束携带的图像信息相同、并且在成像表面上的成像位置相同。Then, the projection beam is polarized and split by the polarization beam splitting component 31. In the embodiment of the present invention, the polarization beam splitting component 31 divides the projection beam into four beams, namely, the first transmitted beam, the first reflected beam, and the second transmitted beam. beam, the second reflected beam. Wherein, the image information carried by the first transmitted light beam and the first reflected light beam are the same, and the imaging position on the imaging surface is the same; The imaging position is the same.

分束出的第一透射光束具有第一偏振态、第一反射光束具有第二偏振态、第二透射光束具有第二偏振态、第二反射光束具有第一偏振态,其中,第一透射光束和第二透射光束直接向成像表面所在的方向传播,而第一反射光束由于被反射导致传播方向会与所对应的第一透射光束的传播方向垂直,同理,第二反射光束由于被反射导致传播方向会与所对应的第二透射光束的传播方向垂直,因此需要调整第一反射光束和第二反射光束的传播方向,以使第一反射光束和第二反射光束可以向成像表面所在的方向传播。The split first transmitted beam has a first polarization state, the first reflected beam has a second polarization state, the second transmitted beam has a second polarization state, and the second reflected beam has a first polarization state, wherein the first transmitted beam And the second transmitted light beam directly propagates to the direction where the imaging surface is located, while the first reflected light beam is reflected and causes the propagation direction to be perpendicular to the corresponding first transmitted light beam. Similarly, the second reflected light beam is caused by being reflected The propagation direction will be perpendicular to the propagation direction of the corresponding second transmitted light beam, so it is necessary to adjust the propagation direction of the first reflected light beam and the second reflected light beam so that the first reflected light beam and the second reflected light beam can move toward the direction of the imaging surface spread.

需要强调的是,由于第一透射光束和第二透射光束都是在分束后直接向成像表面所在的方向传播,因此,宏观看上去像是一整束光,但是由于二者的偏振状态不同,实质上还是应当理解为这是两束不同的光束。此外,图3中仅示意性地示出了第一透射光束与第二透射光束的传播路径,实际上由于投影机投射出的投影光束是发散的,该投影光束在经过偏振分束组件31分束之后得到的第一透射光束和第二透射光束仍然是发散的,使得第一透射光束和第二透射光束在成像表面的成像区域会有部分重叠。It should be emphasized that since both the first transmitted light beam and the second transmitted light beam propagate directly to the direction of the imaging surface after splitting, they look like a whole beam of light macroscopically, but due to the different polarization states of the two , in essence, it should be understood that these are two different beams. In addition, FIG. 3 only schematically shows the propagation paths of the first transmitted light beam and the second transmitted light beam. In fact, since the projected light beam projected by the projector is divergent, the projected light beam is split by the polarization beam splitting component 31. The first transmitted light beam and the second transmitted light beam obtained after the beam are still divergent, so that the imaging areas of the first transmitted light beam and the second transmitted light beam will partially overlap on the imaging surface.

上述第一偏振态和第二偏振态均为线性偏振且二者的偏振方向正交,例如一个为P偏振光、另一个为S偏振光,具体可以是第一偏振态为P偏振光、第二偏振态为S偏振光,或者第一偏振态为S偏振光、第二偏振态为P偏振光。The above-mentioned first polarization state and second polarization state are both linearly polarized and the polarization directions of the two are orthogonal, for example, one is P-polarized light and the other is S-polarized light. Specifically, the first polarization state can be P-polarized light, and the second polarization state can be The two polarization states are S-polarized light, or the first polarization state is S-polarized light, and the second polarization state is P-polarized light.

偏振分束组件31可以采用偏振分光膜来进行分束起偏,也可以采用光学线栅进行分束起偏,或者同时采用偏振分光膜和光学线栅结构进行分束起偏,例如采用偏振分光膜分束出第一透射光束和第一反射光束,采用光学线栅结构分束出第二透射光束和第二反射光束。The polarizing beam splitting component 31 can use a polarizing beam splitting film for beam splitting and polarizing, can also use an optical wire grid for beam splitting and polarizing, or use a polarizing beam splitting film and an optical wire grid structure for beam splitting and polarizing, for example, use a polarizing beam splitting The film splits the first transmitted light beam and the first reflected light beam, and adopts the optical wire grid structure to split the second transmitted light beam and the second reflected light beam.

第一光路方向调整组件32-----用于调整第一反射光束的传播方向,使得第一反射光束向成像表面所在的方向传播。The first optical path direction adjusting component 32 is used to adjust the propagation direction of the first reflected light beam, so that the first reflected light beam propagates toward the direction of the imaging surface.

第一光路方向调整组件32的调整方向可以使第一反射光束最终在成像表面的成像位置与第一透射光束的成像位置重叠,具体实施时,可以将第一光路方向调整组件32的调整方向设置为可调,以利于调整第一反射光束在成像表面的成像位置,通常可以采用平面镜、可对光束大小进行扩大或缩小的曲面镜等具有反射功能的器件实现,当然,也可以采用透镜等具有改变光路方向的光学器件实现。The adjustment direction of the first optical path direction adjustment assembly 32 can make the final imaging position of the first reflected light beam on the imaging surface overlap with the imaging position of the first transmitted light beam. During specific implementation, the adjustment direction of the first optical path direction adjustment assembly 32 can be set To be adjustable, in order to adjust the imaging position of the first reflected beam on the imaging surface, it can usually be realized by devices with reflective functions such as plane mirrors and curved mirrors that can expand or reduce the size of the beam. Of course, lenses and the like can also be used. Realization of optical devices that change the direction of the light path.

第二光路方向调整组件33-----用于调整第二反射光束的传播方向,使得第二反射光束向成像表面所在的方向传播。The second optical path direction adjusting component 33 is used to adjust the propagation direction of the second reflected light beam, so that the second reflected light beam propagates toward the direction of the imaging surface.

同理,第二光路方向调整组件33的调整方向可以使第二反射光束最终在成像表面的成像位置与第二透射光束的成像位置重叠,具体实施时,可以将第二光路方向调整组件的调整方向设置为可调,以利于调整第二反射光束33在成像表面的成像位置,通常可以采用平面镜、可对光束大小进行扩大或缩小的曲面镜等具有反射功能的器件实现,当然,也可以采用透镜等具有改变光路方向的光学器件实现。Similarly, the adjustment direction of the second optical path direction adjustment assembly 33 can make the final imaging position of the second reflected light beam on the imaging surface overlap with the imaging position of the second transmitted light beam. During specific implementation, the adjustment of the second optical path direction adjustment assembly can be The direction is set to be adjustable, so as to facilitate adjustment of the imaging position of the second reflected light beam 33 on the imaging surface. Usually, it can be realized by using a device with reflection function such as a plane mirror or a curved mirror that can expand or reduce the size of the beam. Of course, it can also be realized by using Lenses and other optical devices that change the direction of the light path are realized.

偏振态调制组件34-----用于对第一透射光束、第二透射光束、第一反射光束和第二反射光束中的部分或全部进行偏振态调制,以使第一透射光束、第二透射光束、第一反射光束和第二反射光束具有相同的偏振态。Polarization modulation component 34----is used to modulate the polarization state of part or all of the first transmitted light beam, the second transmitted light beam, the first reflected light beam and the second reflected light beam, so that the first transmitted light beam, the second reflected light beam The two transmitted beams, the first reflected beam and the second reflected beam have the same polarization state.

偏振态调制组件34将四束光按照帧顺序依次调制为仅能被左眼所接收的偏振态和仅能被右眼所接收的偏振态,例如,在当前帧将四束光调制为能被左眼接收而不能被右眼接收的偏振态,在下一帧将四束光调制为不能被左眼接收而能被右眼接收的偏振态。The polarization state modulation component 34 sequentially modulates the four beams of light into a polarization state that can only be received by the left eye and a polarization state that can only be received by the right eye according to the frame sequence. For example, in the current frame, the four beams of light are modulated to be received by The polarization state received by the left eye but not received by the right eye is modulated in the next frame to the polarization state which cannot be received by the left eye but can be received by the right eye.

但是,在任何一帧内,四束光的偏振态需要在到达成像表面之前被调制为一致,具体调制时,可以只调制部分光束的偏振态,例如,无论是在播放左眼影像对应的图像帧还是右眼影像对应的图像帧,偏振态调制组件34都只将第一透射光束和第二反射光束的偏振态从第一偏振态转换为第二偏振态,这样四束光均具有第二偏振态,或者偏振态调制组件34都只将第二透射光束和第一反射光束的偏振态从第二偏振态转换为第一偏振态,这样四束光均具有第一偏振态;还可以是四束光都参与偏振态的调制过程,例如,在播放左眼影像对应的图像帧时,偏振态调制组件34将第一透射光束和第二反射光束的偏振态从第一偏振态转换为第二偏振态,这样四束光均具有第二偏振态,而在播放右眼影像对应的图像帧时,偏振态调制组件34将第二透射光束和第一反射光束的偏振态从第二偏振态转换为第一偏振态,这样四束光均具有第一偏振态。However, in any frame, the polarization states of the four light beams need to be modulated to be consistent before reaching the imaging surface. During the specific modulation, only the polarization states of part of the light beams can be modulated. For example, whether the image corresponding to the left-eye image is played frame or the image frame corresponding to the right-eye image, the polarization state modulation component 34 only converts the polarization state of the first transmitted light beam and the second reflected light beam from the first polarization state to the second polarization state, so that the four beams all have the second polarization state. The polarization state, or the polarization state modulation component 34 only converts the polarization state of the second transmitted light beam and the first reflected light beam from the second polarization state to the first polarization state, so that the four beams all have the first polarization state; it can also be All four beams of light participate in the polarization state modulation process. For example, when playing the image frame corresponding to the left-eye image, the polarization state modulation component 34 converts the polarization state of the first transmitted light beam and the second reflected light beam from the first polarization state to the second polarization state. Two polarization states, so that the four beams of light all have the second polarization state, and when playing the image frame corresponding to the right-eye image, the polarization state modulation component 34 changes the polarization state of the second transmitted light beam and the first reflected light beam from the second polarization state converted to the first polarization state, so that the four beams all have the first polarization state.

如上文所述,被上述偏振分束组件31分束出的四束光的偏振态为线性的P偏振或S偏振,那么,若观众佩戴的是线偏光眼镜,偏振态调制组件只需在每一帧将四束光调制为均为P偏振或调制为均为S偏振即可,而若观众佩戴的是圆偏光眼镜,还需要进一步调制为左旋圆偏振光和右旋圆偏振光。当需要调制为圆偏振光时,偏振态调制组件34需包括:偏振态转换单元和光调制器。As mentioned above, the polarization states of the four beams split by the above-mentioned polarization beam splitting component 31 are linear P polarization or S polarization. Then, if the audience wears linear polarized glasses, the polarization modulation component only needs to change It is sufficient to modulate the four beams of light into all P-polarized or modulated to S-polarized in one frame, but if the audience wears circularly polarized glasses, further modulation is required to be left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light. When it needs to be modulated into circularly polarized light, the polarization state modulation component 34 needs to include: a polarization state conversion unit and a light modulator.

其中,偏振态转换单元需要在每一帧时,将四束光调制为具有统一的线偏振态,基于上文所述的原理,偏振态转换单元有两种工作模式:Among them, the polarization conversion unit needs to modulate the four beams of light to have a unified linear polarization state in each frame. Based on the above-mentioned principles, the polarization conversion unit has two working modes:

模式一:偏振态转换单元用于将第一透射光束和第二反射光束的偏振态从第一偏振态转换为第二偏振态,以使第一透射光束、第二透射光束、第一反射光束和第二反射光束均为第二偏振态;或者,用于将第二透射光束和所述第一反射光束的偏振态从第二偏振态转换为第一偏振态,使得所述第一透射光束、所述第二透射光束、所述第一反射光束和所述第二反射光束均为第一偏振态。Mode 1: The polarization state conversion unit is used to convert the polarization state of the first transmitted light beam and the second reflected light beam from the first polarization state to the second polarization state, so that the first transmitted light beam, the second transmitted light beam, and the first reflected light beam and the second reflected light beam are both in the second polarization state; or, for converting the polarization state of the second transmitted light beam and the first reflected light beam from the second polarization state to the first polarization state, so that the first transmitted light beam , the second transmitted light beam, the first reflected light beam and the second reflected light beam are all in the first polarization state.

模式二:偏振态转换单元用于在播放左眼影像对应的图像帧时,将第一透射光束和第二反射光束的偏振态从第一偏振态转换为第二偏振态,使得四束光均具有第二偏振态,而在播放右眼影像对应的图像帧时,将第二透射光束和第一反射光束的偏振态从第二偏振态转换为第一偏振态,使得四束光均具有第一偏振态。Mode 2: the polarization state conversion unit is used to convert the polarization state of the first transmitted beam and the second reflected beam from the first polarization state to the second polarization state when playing the image frame corresponding to the left-eye image, so that the four beams has a second polarization state, and when playing the image frame corresponding to the right eye image, the polarization state of the second transmitted light beam and the first reflected light beam is converted from the second polarization state to the first polarization state, so that the four beams all have the first polarization state A state of polarization.

然后,再由光调制器将统一具有第一偏振态或第二偏振态的第一透射光束、第二透射光束、第一反射光束和第二反射光束按照帧顺序调制为左旋圆偏振光和右旋圆偏振光。Then, the first transmitted light beam, the second transmitted light beam, the first reflected light beam and the second reflected light beam uniformly having the first polarization state or the second polarization state are modulated into left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light by the light modulator in frame sequence. circularly polarized light.

其中,当偏振态转换单元工作在上述的模式一时,可选用半波片实现,半波片可将P偏振光转换为S偏振光或者S偏振光转换为P偏振光,当然也可以选用其他可将线偏振态旋转90度的器件实现,例如TN液晶盒等。当偏振态转换单元工作在上述的模式二时,可以在每束光的光路各选用1个可将偏振态旋转90度的器件实现,例如TN液晶盒等,只需控制四束光对应的TN液晶盒的工作,每帧图像需要控制其中两个TN液晶盒将线偏振光的偏振方向旋转90度、而另外两个处于无旋转的工作状态。Among them, when the polarization conversion unit works in the above-mentioned mode 1, it can be implemented by using a half-wave plate, which can convert P-polarized light into S-polarized light or S-polarized light into P-polarized light. Of course, other optional Devices that rotate the linear polarization state by 90 degrees are realized, such as TN liquid crystal cells, etc. When the polarization conversion unit works in the above-mentioned mode 2, it can be implemented by selecting a device that can rotate the polarization state by 90 degrees in the optical path of each beam, such as a TN liquid crystal cell, etc., and only needs to control the TN corresponding to the four beams. For the operation of the liquid crystal cell, each frame of image needs to control two of the TN liquid crystal cells to rotate the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light by 90 degrees, while the other two are in a non-rotational working state.

上述光调制器可选用具有四分之一波长延迟功能的器件实现,例如液晶器件或四分之一波片,可以是四束光路共用一个光调制器,也可以在四束光的光路上分别设置一个光调制器。The above-mentioned optical modulator can be realized by using a device with a quarter-wave delay function, such as a liquid crystal device or a quarter-wave plate, which can share one optical modulator for four beams of light, or can be separated on the four beams of light. Set up a light modulator.

综上所述,在第一实施例中,由于一副完整影像画面所对应的投影光束在起偏时被偏振分束组件31分成两个反射光束,有效减少了反射光束与透射光束的光程差,使得后续的光路方向调整组件、光程补偿组件可以选用更小的尺寸,从而使整个装置的体积大大缩小。To sum up, in the first embodiment, since the projection beam corresponding to a complete image frame is divided into two reflected beams by the polarization beam splitting component 31 during polarization, the optical path between the reflected beam and the transmitted beam is effectively reduced difference, so that the subsequent optical path direction adjustment components and optical path compensation components can be selected to be smaller in size, so that the volume of the entire device is greatly reduced.

请再次参阅图4,本实施例中的第一光路方向调整组件321的功能与第一实施例中的第一光路方向调整组件32的功能相同,本实施例中的第二光路方向调整组件331的功能与第一实施例中的第一光路方向调整组件33的功能相同,具体不再赘述。偏振态调制组件包括:第一偏振态转换器3411、第二偏振态转换器3412和光调制器3413。其中,第一偏振态转换器3411位于第一反射光束所在的光路上,用于将第一反射光束的偏振态从第二偏振态转换为第一偏振态;第二偏振态转换器3412位于第二透射光束所在的光路上,用于将第二透射光束的偏振态从第二偏振态转换为第一偏振态。应当理解,具体实施时还可以将第一偏振态转换器3411和第二偏振态转换器3412放置到另外两个光束所在的光路上,例如,将第一偏振态转换器3411位于第二反射光束所在的光路上,用于将第二反射光束的偏振态从第一偏振态转换为第二偏振态;并将第二偏振态转换器3412位于第一透射光束所在的光路上,用于将第一透射光束的偏振态从第一偏振态转换为第二偏振态。Please refer to FIG. 4 again, the function of the first optical path direction adjustment assembly 321 in this embodiment is the same as that of the first optical path direction adjustment assembly 32 in the first embodiment, and the second optical path direction adjustment assembly 331 in this embodiment The function of is the same as that of the first optical path direction adjusting component 33 in the first embodiment, and details are not repeated here. The polarization state modulation component includes: a first polarization state converter 3411 , a second polarization state converter 3412 and a light modulator 3413 . Wherein, the first polarization state converter 3411 is located on the optical path where the first reflected light beam is located, and is used to convert the polarization state of the first reflected light beam from the second polarization state to the first polarization state; the second polarization state converter 3412 is located on the second polarization state The optical path where the two transmitted beams are located is used to convert the polarization state of the second transmitted beam from the second polarization state to the first polarization state. It should be understood that the first polarization state converter 3411 and the second polarization state converter 3412 can also be placed on the optical path where the other two light beams are located during specific implementation, for example, the first polarization state converter 3411 is placed on the second reflected light beam on the optical path where the polarization state of the second reflected light beam is converted from the first polarization state to the second polarization state; The polarization state of a transmitted light beam is switched from the first polarization state to the second polarization state.

在第一偏振态转换器3411和第二偏振态转换器3412各自将所在光束的偏振态调整为一致之后,再由光调制器3413将统一具有第一偏振态或第二偏振态的第一透射光束、第二透射光束、第一反射光束和第二反射光束按照帧顺序调制为左旋圆偏振光和右旋圆偏振光,例如,在当前帧,光调制器3413将各光束调整为左旋圆偏振光,以使观众佩戴的圆偏光眼镜的左镜片能透过该左旋圆偏振光、而右镜片则不能透过该左旋圆偏振光;在下一帧,光调制器3413将各光束调整为右旋圆偏振光,以使观众佩戴的圆偏光眼镜的右镜片能透过该右旋圆偏振光、而左镜片则不能透过该右旋圆偏振光。After the first polarization state converter 3411 and the second polarization state converter 3412 respectively adjust the polarization states of the light beams to be consistent, the light modulator 3413 will uniformly have the first polarization state or the second polarization state. The light beam, the second transmitted light beam, the first reflected light beam and the second reflected light beam are sequentially modulated into left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light, for example, in the current frame, the light modulator 3413 adjusts each light beam to be left-handed circularly polarized light so that the left lens of the circularly polarized glasses worn by the audience can pass through the left-handed circularly polarized light, while the right lens cannot pass through the left-handed circularly polarized light; Circularly polarized light, so that the right lens of the circularly polarized glasses worn by the audience can pass through the right-handed circularly polarized light, while the left lens cannot pass through the right-handed circularly polarized light.

其中,第一偏振态转换器3411和第二偏振态转换器3412可选用半波片实现,半波片可将P偏振光转换为S偏振光或者S偏振光转换为P偏振光,当然也可以选用可将线偏振态旋转90度的TN液晶盒等。上述光调制器可选用具有四分之一波长延迟功能的器件实现,例如液晶器件或四分之一波片,可以是四束光路共用一个光调制器,也可以在四束光的光路上分别设置一个光调制器。Wherein, the first polarization state converter 3411 and the second polarization state converter 3412 can be implemented with half-wave plates, which can convert P-polarized light into S-polarized light or S-polarized light into P-polarized light. A TN liquid crystal cell that can rotate the linear polarization state by 90 degrees is selected. The above-mentioned optical modulator can be realized by using a device with a quarter-wave delay function, such as a liquid crystal device or a quarter-wave plate, which can share one optical modulator for four beams of light, or can be separated on the four beams of light. Set up a light modulator.

第二实施例中,无论是板状的偏振分束组件上的偏振分光层,还是棱镜组结构的偏振分束组件上的偏振分光层,都采用线栅结构来实现偏振分光,其中,分束出第一透射光束和第一反射光束的线栅部分的各线栅排列方向,与分束出第二透射光束和第二反射光束的线栅部分的各线栅排列方向相正交。In the second embodiment, whether it is the polarization beam splitting layer on the plate-shaped polarization beam splitting assembly or the polarization beam splitting layer on the polarization beam splitting assembly with a prism group structure, a wire grid structure is used to realize polarization splitting, wherein the beam splitting The wire grid arrangement directions of the wire grid parts that emit the first transmitted light beam and the first reflected light beam are orthogonal to the wire grid arrangement directions of the wire grid parts that split the second transmitted light beam and the second reflected light beam.

具体地,对于板状的偏振分束组件上的偏振分光层,图6A和图6B为第一基板3111上偏振分光层上的线栅结构,其中图6A为线栅结构的平面图,图6B为线栅结构的切面示意图,“●”表示线栅的方向垂直于纸面。图7A和图7B为第二基板3112上偏振分光层上的线栅结构,其中图7A为线栅结构的平面图,图7B为线栅结构的切面示意图,表示线栅的方向平行于纸面。可以看出,第一基板3111偏振分光层中线栅的排列方向,与第二基板3112偏振分光层中线栅的排列方向正交。Specifically, for the polarization beam splitting layer on the plate-shaped polarization beam splitting component, Figure 6A and Figure 6B are the wire grid structure on the polarization beam splitting layer on the first substrate 3111, wherein Figure 6A is a plan view of the wire grid structure, and Figure 6B is Schematic diagram of the cross-section of the wire grid structure, "●" indicates that the direction of the wire grid is perpendicular to the paper. 7A and 7B are the wire grid structure on the polarization splitting layer on the second substrate 3112, wherein FIG. 7A is a plan view of the wire grid structure, and FIG. 7B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the wire grid structure, Indicates that the direction of the wire grid is parallel to the paper. It can be seen that the arrangement direction of the wire grids in the polarization beam splitting layer of the first substrate 3111 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the wire grids in the polarization beam splitting layer of the second substrate 3112 .

而对于采用棱镜组结构的偏振分束组件上的偏振分光层,图8和图9分别示出了第一偏振分光层3124上的线栅结构和第二偏振分光层3125上的线栅结构,可以看出,图8中各线栅沿竖直方向排列,当无偏振的投影光束RRandomly入射至第一偏振分光层3124上的线栅结构时,可分束出透射的S线偏振光Rs和反射的P线偏振光Rp;而图9中各线栅沿水平方向排列,当无偏振的投影光束RRandomly入射至第二偏振分光层3125上的线栅结构时,可分束出反射的S线偏振光Rs和透射的P线偏振光RpAs for the polarization beam splitting layer on the polarization beam splitting component adopting the prism group structure, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 respectively show the wire grid structure on the first polarization beam splitting layer 3124 and the wire grid structure on the second polarization beam splitting layer 3125, It can be seen that the wire grids in FIG. 8 are arranged along the vertical direction. When the unpolarized projected light beam R Randomly is incident on the wire grid structure on the first polarization splitting layer 3124, the transmitted S linearly polarized light R can be split into beams. s and the reflected P linearly polarized light R p ; while the wire grids in Fig. 9 are arranged along the horizontal direction, when the unpolarized projected light beam R Randomly enters the wire grid structure on the second polarization splitting layer 3125, the beam can be split out Reflected S linearly polarized light R s and transmitted P linearly polarized light R p .

综上所述,在第二实施例中,一副完整影像画面所对应的投影光束在起偏时被两个基板上的偏振分光层分成两个反射光束,或者被棱镜组内部的两个偏振分光层分成两个反射光束,有效减少了反射光束与透射光束的光程差,使得后续的光路方向调整组件、光程补偿组件可以选用更小的尺寸,从而使整个装置体积大大缩小,并且,这种“V”形结构的偏振分束组件与双光路的斜板式的分光棱镜相比,可以做到更薄,厚度减小差不多一半。To sum up, in the second embodiment, the projected light beam corresponding to a complete image frame is divided into two reflected light beams by the polarization splitting layers on the two substrates during polarization, or is polarized by two polarized light beams inside the prism group. The splitting layer is divided into two reflected beams, effectively reducing the optical path difference between the reflected beam and the transmitted beam, so that the subsequent optical path direction adjustment components and optical path compensation components can be selected to be smaller in size, so that the volume of the entire device is greatly reduced, and, Compared with the double optical path slanted plate beam splitter, this "V" shaped polarization beam splitter can be made thinner and its thickness can be reduced by almost half.

进一步地,考虑到第二实施例中投影光束在经过偏振分束组件时并不是被严格地分成上下互不交叉的两部分,实际上通过偏振分束组件上半部分的光束会有一部分跑到下面,反之,通过偏振分束组件下半部分的光束也会有一部分跑到上面,所以在成像表面的中央区域实际是两种偏振态的光束混在一起,如图10所示,其中“点划线”表示投影光束的上半部分,“长短线”表示投影光束的下半部分,可以看出,在透射过偏振分束组件之后,投影光束的上半部分和下半部分会有一个混合区域,该混合区域存在有两种偏振态的透射光,这样后续的偏振态调制组件在对该混合区域的投影光束进行偏振态一致性调整时会困难。为解决此技术问题,本发明第三实施例提供了图11所示的立体投影光的偏振调制装置,此实施例适用于观众佩戴圆偏光眼镜的情形。Further, considering that the projection beam in the second embodiment is not strictly divided into two parts that do not intersect each other up and down when passing through the polarization beam splitting component, in fact, a part of the beam passing through the upper half of the polarization beam splitting component will run to Below, on the contrary, part of the light beam passing through the lower half of the polarization beam splitting component will also run to the top, so in the central area of the imaging surface, the light beams of the two polarization states are actually mixed together, as shown in Figure 10, where "dot-dash Line" indicates the upper half of the projected beam, and "long and short lines" indicate the lower part of the projected beam. It can be seen that after passing through the polarization beam splitting component, there will be a mixed area between the upper and lower parts of the projected beam , there are two kinds of polarization states of transmitted light in the mixing region, so that it will be difficult for the subsequent polarization state modulation component to adjust the polarization state consistency of the projected light beam in the mixing region. To solve this technical problem, the third embodiment of the present invention provides a polarization modulation device for stereoscopic projection light as shown in FIG. 11 . This embodiment is suitable for the situation where the audience wears circular polarizing glasses.

请参阅图11,与第二实施例不同的是,本实施例中第二偏振态转换器3412放置的位置,本实施例将第二偏振态转换器3412贴附于第二基板3112可透射出第二透射光束的表面上,这样相当于在第二透射光束在和第一透射光束混合之前,就已经将第二透射光束的偏振态进行了转换,在图10中示出的混合区域中的光束的偏振态已经一致了。应当理解,在具体实施时,若是第一偏振态转换器3411位于第二反射光束所在的光路上,则需要第二偏振态转换器3412贴附于第一基板3111可透射出第一透射光的表面上。Please refer to FIG. 11 , the difference from the second embodiment is the position where the second polarization state converter 3412 is placed in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the second polarization state converter 3412 is attached to the second substrate 3112 to transmit On the surface of the second transmitted light beam, this is equivalent to converting the polarization state of the second transmitted light beam before the second transmitted light beam is mixed with the first transmitted light beam. In the mixing region shown in FIG. 10 The polarization states of the beams are already aligned. It should be understood that, in specific implementation, if the first polarization state converter 3411 is located on the optical path where the second reflected light beam is located, the second polarization state converter 3412 needs to be attached to the first substrate 3111 to transmit the first transmitted light. On the surface.

对于第二实施例中所示的棱镜结构形式的偏振分束组件,可以将第二偏振态转换器3412封装于该偏振分光棱镜组中,并位于第二偏振分光层3125可透射出第二透射光束的一侧,如图12所示。当然,也可以将第二偏振态转换器3412封装于第一偏振分光层3124可透射出第一透射光束的一侧。For the polarization beam splitting assembly in the form of a prism structure shown in the second embodiment, the second polarization state converter 3412 can be packaged in the polarization beam splitting prism group, and the second polarization splitting layer 3125 can transmit the second transmission One side of the beam, as shown in Figure 12. Of course, the second polarization state converter 3412 can also be packaged on the side of the first polarization splitting layer 3124 that can transmit the first transmitted light beam.

综上所述,在第三实施例中,一副完整影像画面所对应的投影光束不仅在起偏时被两个基板上的偏振分光层或者被棱镜组内部的两个偏振分光层分成两个反射光束,而且在第二透射光束在和第一透射光束混合之前,就已经将第二透射光的偏振态进行了转换,因此,在有效减少反射光束与透射光束的光程差、使整个装置体积大大缩小的同时,还更有利于后续的偏振光调制组件对两个透射光束的偏振态的调制,同样,本实施例中的“V”形结构的偏振分束组件与双光路的斜板式的分光棱镜相比,也可以做到更薄,厚度减小差不多一半。To sum up, in the third embodiment, the projected light beam corresponding to a complete image frame is not only divided into two by the polarization beam splitter layers on the two substrates or by the two polarization beam splitter layers inside the prism group during polarization. reflected beam, and before the second transmitted beam is mixed with the first transmitted beam, the polarization state of the second transmitted light has been converted, therefore, effectively reducing the optical path difference between the reflected beam and the transmitted beam, making the whole device While the volume is greatly reduced, it is also more conducive to the modulation of the polarization states of the two transmitted beams by the subsequent polarization modulation component. Similarly, the polarization beam splitting component of the "V" structure in this embodiment and the slant plate type with dual optical paths Compared with the traditional beam splitting prism, it can also be made thinner, and the thickness is reduced by almost half.
