In the embodiment, the glass substrate 42 is provided with a four-sided crucible and the glass substrate 44 is provided. Four PB coatings are inclined & Μ „ 们 ΡΒ 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们 们Further, a half-wave plate 46 is provided. In this embodiment, * is provided with a change of 40 pages and four half-wave plates 46 are provided. The mid-wave plate 46 of the 200921160 is interposed between the surface 425 of the glass substrate 42 between the adjacent first PB coating bevels 42a and the surface 445 of the glass substrate 44 between the adjacent second PB coating bevels 44a. Preferably, each of the first PB coating bevels 42a is disposed at an angle of 45 degrees to the surface 425 of the first glass substrate 42. Each of the second PB coating bevels 44a is disposed at an angle of 45 degrees to the surface 445 of the second glass substrate 44. The first glass substrate 42 includes a connecting surface 424, a first positioning surface 426 and a second positioning surface 428. The connecting surface 424, the first positioning surface 426 and the second positioning surface 428 are located on the same plane on the same side. The second glass substrate 44 is connected to the first glass substrate 42 via a connection surface 424 of the first glass substrate 42. In this embodiment, the bonding is performed by gluing. The first locating surface 426 and the second locating surface 428 are axisymmetric along the center of the connecting surface 424. When the four-side matte surface is used for positioning, the first glass substrate 42 of the polarization converter 40 and the second glass substrate 44 are not positioned adjacent to the intermediate surface, thereby causing the first PB coating bevel 44a and the second PB coating. The slope 44b cannot be accurately aligned to the position of the incident light, and the polarization converter 40 cannot be made to convert all of the natural light into s-polarized light. When the polarization converter 40 is manufactured, the first glass substrate 42 having different PW plating slopes and different widths and the second glass substrate 44 are bonded and combined to expose the first glass substrate 42 having a larger width to the first positioning surface. 426 and second positioning surface 428.

The positioning of the first positioning surface 426 and the second positioning surface 428 can be used to position the center of the first glass substrate 42 and the second glass substrate 44, thereby ensuring that the first PB coating bevel 44a and the second pb coating bevel 44b are accurate. The position is aligned to the incident light, so that the half-wave plate 46 can be accurately aligned to the position of the incident light. Thereby, the polarization converter 4 transmits the p-polarized light (p_p〇larized light) and the reflected s-polarized light in the natural light. The p-polarized light is transmitted from the polarization converter 40, enters the half-wave plate 46, and is converted into S-polarized light. The S-polarized light is reflected twice by the polarization converter 4 后 and then emitted by the polarization converter 4 〇 without the half-wave plate, thereby converting the incident natural light into s-polarized light.

J is disposed in the first glass substrate 84. For example, each of the first PB plating bevels 84a is arranged in parallel with each other. Each first pB coated bevel 82a is associated with each second? 6 coated bevel 8 乜 is arranged symmetrically about the prism 87. The polarization converter 80 is provided with a plurality of half-wave plates %. In the present embodiment, four half-wave plates 86 are provided. The half-wave plate 86 is affixed to the surface 845 of the first glass substrate 82 between the adjacent first 21st PB coated bevel 84a and the surface 845 of the second glass substrate 84 between the adjacent second PB coated bevels 84a. The first glass substrate 82 includes a first connecting surface 852, a first positioning surface 882 and a second positioning surface 884.

Natural light is all converted into s-polarized light. It can be understood that the polarization converter 40 in the projection system 100 can also be the polarization converter 80 of the second embodiment. The first positioning surface 882, the second positioning surface 884, the third positioning surface 886 and the fourth positioning surface 888 of the polarized light conversion 12 200921160 80 are used to make each half wave plate 86 and each of the first PB coating bevels 82a and The reflective surface of each of the second PB coating bevels 84a is correctly aligned to the position of the incident light, causing the polarization converter 80 to convert all of the incident natural light into s-polarized light. In the above embodiment, the polarization converter of each projection system is positioned by using the positioning surface near the intermediate position of each polarization converter, thereby ensuring accurate positioning of the center of the polarization converter, and making the polarization converters The wave plate and the PB reflecting surface are correctly aligned to the position of the incident light, which improves the light-passing efficiency of the polarization converter.
