- the laser light source may also include a fixed diffusion sheet 242 for homogenizing first blue laser. Because the first blue laser is excited light of the fluorescent wheel, if the beam is not homogenized, then the laser with light spots of uneven intensity distribution and thus concentrated energy will directly enter the surface of the fluorescent wheel, and the laser light spots with concentrated energy are likely to burn the surface of the fluorescent wheel and to damage the fluorescent wheel, leading to that the laser is unable to normally excite the fluorescent wheel to emit fluorescence.

- the laser light source may also include a focusing lens 243 which is arranged between the first dichroic sheet 241 and the color filter wheel 26 . Due to the fact that when the divergence angle of the light beam transmitted through the first dichroic sheet or reflected by the first dichroic sheet is greater than the collection angle of the light collecting component, the result is reduced light collection efficiency, impacting the brightness of the projection light source.
- the focusing lens may be used to focus the second blue laser transmitted through the first dichroic sheet and the green fluorescence reflected by the first dichroic sheet and the red laser reflected by the first dichroic sheet respectively, so as to improve the light collection efficiency by the light collecting component, thereby improving the brightness of the projection light source.

- speckles refer to the phenomenon that, when a coherent light source irradiates a rough object, the diverged light, with equal wavelength and a constant phase, creates interference in space, where partly being constructive interference and partly being destructive interference, finally occurring granulate light and dark spots on a screen, i.e., some unfocused smudging, which is likely to develop a sense of dizziness after long-time watching, which inevitably brings quality deterioration of projected images, reducing the viewing experience of users.
- red laser In contrast to blue laser, red laser has a longer coherence length and higher coherence, and thus has a more severe speckle phenomenon.
- the red laser emitted by the red laser transmitter when passing the fluorescent wheel, is firstly subjected to a first diffusion by a first diffuser on the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel, and after reflecting by the light combining component, hen subjected to a second diffusion by a second diffuser on the red light filter region of the color filter wheel.
- the moving diffuser may further increases the random phases, and is better able to destroy coherence of the red laser, allowing a laser light source for projection to be able to form more independent random phase patterns in a projected image. And the more the number of the independent random phase patterns, the weaker the phenomenon of the light and dark spots, under an integral function of human eye, so as to efficiently reduce the speckle effects of the red laser, and to improve optical quality of a dual-color laser light source.

Because the particle diameter of the first diffuser on the blue light diffusion region of the fluorescent wheel is different from the particle diameter of the third diffuser on the blue light filter region of the color filter wheel, hence a diffusion angles for the second blue laser is different, which may cause the second blue laser to generate more independent random phase patterns.
- the moving diffuser may further increase the random phases, which may be better able to destroy the coherence of the blue laser, allowing the laser light source for projection to form more independent random phase patterns on a projected image.

The more the number of the independent random phase patterns, the weaker the phenomenon of the light and dark spots under an integral function of human eye, so as to efficiently reduce the speckle effects of the laser, and to improve optical quality of a dual-color laser light source.
- a particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel may be greater than a particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel, for example, the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel is 100 microns, and the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel is 30 microns.

- In summary, in the dual-color laser light source provided by the embodiments of the present application, the laser light source includes a first blue laser transmitter, a second blue laser transmitter, a red laser transmitter, a fluorescent wheel, a light collecting component and a light combining component, wherein the fluorescent wheel is provided with a green fluorescent region and a transmission region; the light combining component is arranged between the first blue laser transmitter and the fluorescent wheel. The fluorescent wheel is arranged between the light combining component and the red laser transmitter. The light collecting component and the second blue laser transmitter are respectively arranged on both sides of the light combining component. The connection line between the first blue laser transmitter and the fluorescent wheel is perpendicular to the connection line between the light collecting component and the second blue laser transmitter. The first blue laser emitted by the first blue laser transmitter is able to transmit through the light combining component and to excite the green fluorescent region of the fluorescent wheel to emit green fluorescence, then the light combining component reflects the green fluorescence onto the light collecting component. The second blue laser emitted by the second blue laser transmitter transmits through the light combining component to the light collecting component, and red laser emitted by the red laser transmitter transmits through the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel before being reflected by the light combining component onto the light collecting component. The dual-color laser light source has a relatively simple light path system.
- In some implementations, the first red laser is p polarized light, the second red laser is s polarized light, the first blue laser is p polarized light, and the second blue laser is s polarized light;
- Alternatively, the first red laser is s polarized light, the second red laser is p polarized light, the first blue laser is s polarized light, and second blue laser is p polarized light.
- In the above implementations, the red laser collected by the light combining component is converted light of first red laser and second red laser with polarization direction perpendicular to each other, overlay of the two polarized light is able to form overlay of phase patterns during image projection, so as to generate more independent random phase patterns, efficiently reducing speckle effects of the red laser while improving the optical quality of the dual-color laser light source.
- In the embodiments of the present application, the first blue laser transmitter, the second blue laser transmitter and the red laser transmitter are each turned on in sequence. In some implementations, the first blue laser transmitter, the second blue laser transmitter and the red laser transmitter are turned on at different moments. In some implementations, if the red laser transmitter includes the first red laser transmitter and the second red laser transmitter, the first red laser transmitter and the second red laser transmitter are turned on in sequence, or the first red laser transmitter and the second red laser transmitter are turned on at the same moment. When the first red laser transmitter and the second red laser transmitter are turned on in sequence, it is required that the outputted first red laser and second red laser are emitted to the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel.
- In some implementations, as shown in
FIG. 3A , the fluorescent wheel may include a green fluorescent region Y and a transmission region K, the surface of the green fluorescent region Y is provided with green fluorescent powder, and the surface of the transmission region Y is provided with a first diffuser. The green fluorescent region and the transmission region are both in a fan-shaped arrangement, and during rotation, the fluorescent wheel is able to emit green fluorescence and to transmit red laser in sequence. - The first diffuser may is a micron-level particle.
- In same applications, the fluorescent wheel may rotate at a preset rotation speed, and when the first blue laser transmitter is turned on, the green fluorescent region of the fluorescent wheel is aligned with the fifth light beam shaping device E (the green fluorescent region is an irradiated region of the first blue laser), and both the second blue laser transmitter and the red laser transmitter are not turned on. When the red laser transmitter is turned on, the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel is aligned with the fifth light beam shaping device E (the transmission region is an irradiated region of the laser), and both the first blue laser transmitter and the second blue laser transmitter are not turned on. When the second blue laser transmitter is turned on, both the first blue laser transmitter and the red laser transmitter are not turned on.
- Since the central area of the fluorescent wheel is unable to be aligned with the fifth light beam shaping device, i.e., the central area of the fluorescent wheel is unable to serve as an irradiated region of the laser at any moment, hence as shown in
FIG. 3B , the fluorescent wheel may also include a blank area Q which is positioned in the central area of the fluorescent wheel, and the green fluorescent region Y is positioned on the periphery of the blank area Q. The green fluorescent region Y is in a fan-shaped circular arrangement, and the transmission region K is in a fan-shaped or a fan-shaped circular arrangement. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , the light combining component may include: a firstdichroic sheet 241 which is arranged on a light incident side of thelight collecting component 25. The firstdichroic sheet 241 is used to transmit the first blue laser and the second blue laser, and to reflect the green fluorescence and to reflect the red laser emitted by thered laser transmitter 22. - In some implementations, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the laser light source may also include a fixeddiffusion sheet 242 for homogenizing first blue laser. Because the first blue laser is excited light of the fluorescent wheel, if the beam is not homogenized, then the laser with light spots of uneven intensity distribution and thus concentrated energy will directly enter the surface of the fluorescent wheel, and the laser light spots with concentrated energy are likely to burn the surface of the fluorescent wheel and to damage the fluorescent wheel, leading to that the laser is unable to normally excite the fluorescent wheel to emit fluorescence. - In some implementations, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the laser light source may also include: acolor filter wheel 26 which is arranged between the first dichroic sheet 241 (the light combining component) and a light incident side of thelight collecting component 25. As shown inFIG. 5 , the color filter wheel may include a red light filter region R, a blue light filter region B and a green light filter region G. During rotation, the color filter wheel is able to sequentially transmit the second blue laser, the red laser and the green fluorescence. - In some implementations, when the color filter wheel is rotated, and the irradiated region of the color filter wheel is a blue light filter region, the second blue laser transmitter is turned on, while the first blue laser transmitter and the red laser transmitter are not turned on. When the irradiated region of the color filter wheel is a red light filter region, the red laser transmitter is turned on while both the first blue laser transmitter and the second blue laser transmitter are not turned on. When the irradiated region of the color filter wheel is a green light filter region, the first blue laser transmitter is turned on while the second blue laser transmitter and the red laser transmitter are not turned on, so as to sequentially transmit the second blue laser, the red laser and the green fluorescence.
- In some implementations, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the laser light source may also include a focusinglens 243 which is arranged between the firstdichroic sheet 241 and thecolor filter wheel 26. Due to the fact that when the divergence angle of the light beam transmitted through the first dichroic sheet or reflected by the first dichroic sheet is greater than the collection angle of the light collecting component, the result is reduced light collection efficiency, impacting the brightness of the projection light source. The focusing lens may be used to focus the second blue laser transmitted through the first dichroic sheet and the green fluorescence reflected by the first dichroic sheet and the red laser reflected by the first dichroic sheet respectively, so as to improve the light collection efficiency by the light collecting component, thereby improving the brightness of the projection light source. - In some implementations, in the color filter wheel provided by the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the red light filter region is provided with a second diffuser, the surface of the blue light filter region is provided with a third diffuser. The second diffuser and the third diffuser may be micron-level particles, particle diameter of the third diffuser may be the same with particle diameter of the second diffuser, wherein, the particle diameter of the second diffuser is different from particle diameter of the first diffuser arranged on the surface of the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel.
- Strong coherence of the laser inevitably results in speckle effects. The so-called speckles refer to the phenomenon that, when a coherent light source irradiates a rough object, the diverged light, with equal wavelength and a constant phase, creates interference in space, where partly being constructive interference and partly being destructive interference, finally occurring granulate light and dark spots on a screen, i.e., some unfocused smudging, which is likely to develop a sense of dizziness after long-time watching, which inevitably brings quality deterioration of projected images, reducing the viewing experience of users. In contrast to blue laser, red laser has a longer coherence length and higher coherence, and thus has a more severe speckle phenomenon.
- In the embodiments of the present application, when passing the fluorescent wheel, the red laser emitted by the red laser transmitter is firstly subjected to a first diffusion by a first diffuser on the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel, and after reflecting by the light combining component, hen subjected to a second diffusion by a second diffuser on the red light filter region of the color filter wheel. Because the particle diameter of the first diffuser is different from the particle diameter of the second diffuser, thus diffusion angles for the red laser is different, which may cause the red laser to generate more independent random phase patterns; In some implementations, because both the fluorescent wheel and the color filter wheel rotate, the moving diffuser may further increases the random phases, and is better able to destroy coherence of the red laser, allowing a laser light source for projection to be able to form more independent random phase patterns in a projected image. And the more the number of the independent random phase patterns, the weaker the phenomenon of the light and dark spots, under an integral function of human eye, so as to efficiently reduce the speckle effects of the red laser, and to improve optical quality of a dual-color laser light source.
- In some implementations, the particle diameter of the first diffuser may be greater than the particle diameter of the second diffuser, for example, the particle diameter of the first diffuser is 100 microns, and the particle diameters of the second diffuser and the particle diameters of the third diffuser are 30 microns. Firstly the first diffuser may scatter the red laser, then the second diffuser rearranges the phase of the red laser accurately.
- It is noted that the particle diameter of the first diffuser may also be smaller than that of the second diffuser, for example, the particle diameter of the first diffuser is 30 microns, and those of the second diffuser and the third diffuser are 100 microns.
- In addition, the third diffuser on the blue light filter region of the color filter wheel is used for homogenizing second blue laser, fulfilling the role of removing speckles of the blue laser; and the green light filter region on the color filter wheel is used to filter the green fluorescence, allowing the green light entering the light collecting component to be purer.
- In the above implementations, the arrangements of the first diffuser on the surface of the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel, and the arrangements of the second diffuser on the surface of the red light diffusion region of the color filter wheel, realize twice diffusion of the red laser with high coherence while delivering a preferable speckle removal effect for the red laser, thus improving optical quality of the dual-color laser light source.

- In some implementations, the light path emission process of the dual-color laser light source provided by the embodiment of the present application includes: after transmitting through the
light combining component 24, the first blue laser irradiates thefluorescent wheel 23, exciting the green fluorescent region of the fluorescent wheel to emit green fluorescence, wherein the green fluorescence is reflected by thelight combining component 24 to be outputted to thelight collecting component 25. The second blue laser transmits through thefluorescent wheel 23 onto thelight combining component 24, and is then reflected by thelight combining component 24 to be outputted to thelight collecting component 25. The red laser emitted by thered laser transmitter 22 transmits through thelight combining component 24 to be outputted to thelight collecting component 25. The three lights with different colors enter thelight collecting component 25 and may be blended to form white light, so as to realize a lighting function of the dual-color laser light source or display a picture. - In some implementations, as shown in

- Since the red laser collected by the light combining component is converted light of first red laser and second red laser with the polarization directions perpendicular to each other, overlay of the two polarized light is able to form overlay of phase patterns during image projection, so as to generate more independent random phase patterns, efficiently reducing speckle effects of the red laser while improving the optical quality of the dual-color laser light source.

The seconddichroic sheet 245 is used to reflect the second blue laser onto the fluorescent wheel. In some other implementations, the secondblue laser transmitter 21 b may directly face towards the fluorescent wheel, hence there is no need to arrange thedichroic sheet 245. - In some implementations, as shown in

When both the first blue laser transmitter and the red laser transmitter are not turned on; when both the first blue laser transmitter and the second blue laser transmitter are not turned on, the red laser transmitter is turned on.
- Since the central area of the fluorescent wheel is unable to be aligned with the fifth light beam shaping device, i.e., the central area of the fluorescent wheel is unable to serve as an irradiated region of the laser at any moment, hence as shown in
FIG. 3B , the fluorescent wheel may also include a blank area Q which is positioned in the central area of the fluorescent wheel.

Correspondingly, the arranged polarization-combining dichroic sheet may transmit the s polarized light, and reflect the p polarized light.
- It is noted that the polarization-combining dichroic sheet may also reflect the green fluorescence.
- In some implementations, as shown in
FIG. 9A andFIG. 9B , the laser light source may also include acolor filter wheel 27 which is arranged between the polarization-combining dichroic sheet 244 (the light combining component) and the light incident side of thelight collecting component 25. As shown inFIG. 5 , the color filter wheel may include a red light filter region R, a blue light filter region B and a green light filter region G. During rotation the color filter wheel is able to transmit the second blue laser, red laser and the green fluorescence in sequence. - In some implementations, during rotation of the color filter wheel, when the irradiated region of the color filter wheel is the blue light filter region, the second blue laser transmitter is turned on, while the first blue laser transmitter, the first red laser transmitter and the second red laser transmitter are not turned on; when the irradiated region of the color filter wheel is the red light filter region, the first red laser transmitter and the second red laser transmitter are turned on, while both the first blue laser transmitter and the second blue laser transmitter are not turned on; when the irradiated region of the color filter wheel is the green light filter region, the first blue laser transmitter is turned on while the second blue laser transmitter, the first red laser transmitter and the second red laser transmitter are not turned on, so as to transmit the second blue laser, the red laser and the green fluorescence in sequence.
- In the embodiment of the present application, in order to enhance the speckle removal effect, preferably, a region capable of transmitting the red light on the color filter wheel is but not limited to the red light filter region.
- In some implementations, as shown in
FIG. 9A andFIG. 9B , the laser light source may also include a fixeddiffusion sheet 242 for homogenizing blue laser emitted by the first blue laser transmitter. And because the blue laser emitted by the first blue laser transmitter is excited light of the fluorescent wheel. If the beam is not homogenized, the light spot of laser will have uneven intensity distribution and concentrated energy. Hence when directly entering the fluorescent wheel surface, the energy-concentrated laser spot is likely to burn the surface of the fluorescent wheel and damage the fluorescent wheel, causing the laser unable to normally excite the fluorescent wheel to emit the fluorescence. - In some other implementations, as shown in
FIG. 9A andFIG. 9B , the laser light source may also include a focusinglens 243 which is arranged between the polarization-combiningdichroic sheet 244 and thecolor filter wheel 27. Because when the beam diffusion angle of the light transmitted through or reflected by the polarization-combining dichroic sheet is larger than the collection angle of the light collecting component, hence the light collection efficiency is reduced, and the brightness of the projection light source is influenced. The focusing lens may be used to respectively focus the first red laser transmitted through the polarization-combining dichroic sheet, and the green fluorescence, the second blue laser, and the second red laser reflected by the polarization-combining dichroic sheet, improving the light collection efficiency by the light collecting component, so as to improve the brightness of the projection light source. - In some implementations, in the color filter wheel provided by the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the red light filter region may be provided with a second diffuser, and the surface of the blue light filter region may be provided with a third diffuser. The second diffuser and the third diffuser may be micron-level particles.
- As shown in
FIG. 10 , the fluorescent wheel may include a green fluorescent region Y and a transmission region, wherein the transmission region may include a red light diffusion region R1 and a blue light diffusion region B1. The surface of the green fluorescent region Y is provided with green fluorescent powder. The surfaces of the red light diffusion region R1 and the blue light diffusion region B1 are respectively provided with a first diffuser which is micron-level particles. During rotation, the fluorescent wheel is able to emit the green fluorescence, to transmit the second blue laser and the second red laser in sequence. - In the embodiment of the present application, in order to enhance the speckle removal effect, preferably, a region capable of transmitting the red light through the transmission region of the fluorescent wheel is the red light diffusion region. The region capable of transmitting the blue light is the blue light diffusion region. The above descriptions are not indented to make limitations.
- It is noted that the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel is different from particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel.
- Strong coherence of the laser inevitably results in speckle effects. The so-called speckles refer to the phenomenon that, when a coherent light source irradiates a rough object, because the diverged light has equal wavelength and a constant phase, an interference may be created in space, where partly being constructive interference and partly being destructive interference. The final result is that granulate light and dark spots on a screen is occurred, i.e., some unfocused smudging, which is likely to develop a sense of dizziness after long-time watching, which inevitably brings about quality deterioration of projected images, reducing the viewing experience of users.
- In the embodiment of the present application, when passing through the fluorescent wheel, the second blue laser emitted by the second blue laser transmitter is firstly subjected to first diffusion by the first diffuser on the blue light diffusion region of the fluorescent wheel. Then after entering the light combining component, the second blue laser is subjected to subjected to second diffusion by the third diffuser on the blue light filter region of the color filter wheel. Because the particle diameter of the first diffuser on the blue light diffusion region of the fluorescent wheel is different from the particle diameter of the third diffuser on the blue light filter region of the color filter wheel, hence a diffusion angles for the second blue laser is different, which may cause the second blue laser to generate more independent random phase patterns. In some implementations, since both the fluorescent wheel and the color filter wheel conduct rotation, the moving diffuser may further increase the random phases, which may be better able to destroy the coherence of the blue laser, allowing the laser light source for projection to form more independent random phase patterns on a projected image. Likewise, a principle of speckle removal of the second red laser may follow a principle referring to that of the second blue laser, and will not be repeated herein. The more the number of the independent random phase patterns, the weaker the phenomenon of the light and dark spots under an integral function of human eye, so as to efficiently reduce the speckle effects of the laser, and to improve optical quality of a dual-color laser light source.
- In some implementations, a particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel may be greater than a particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel, for example, the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel is 100 microns, and the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel is 30 microns. Firstly, the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel may scatter the laser, then the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel accurately rearrange the phases of the laser.
- It is noted that the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel may also be smaller than the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel, for example, the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the fluorescent wheel is 30 microns, and the particle diameter of the diffuser arranged on the surface of the color filter wheel is 100 microns.
- In further demonstration, in comparison with the blue laser, the red laser has a longer coherence length, and thus higher coherence, therefore, a speckle phenomenon is severer. Whereas in the dual-color laser light source provided by the embodiment of the present application, the red laser is a converted light of the first red laser and the second red laser. Because the first red laser and the second red laser are different polarized light, for example, the first red laser is p polarized light and the second red laser is s polarized light. During image projection, overlay of the two polarized light is able to form overlay of phase patterns, so as to generate more independent random phase patterns, further weakening speckle effects of the red laser.
- In summary, in the dual-color laser light source provided by the embodiment of the present application, because the red laser collected by the light combining component is the converted light of the first red laser and the second red laser with polarization directions perpendicular to each other. Overlay of the two polarized light is able to form overlay of phase patterns during image projection, so as to generate more independent random phase patterns, which efficiently weaken the speckle effects of the red laser while improve the optical quality of the dual-color laser light source.
- An embodiment of the present application provides a laser projector, which may include the dual-color laser light source as shown in any of
FIG. 2A ,FIG. 2B ,FIG. 4 , andFIG. 6 toFIG. 9B . - The aforementioned descriptions are just optional embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to restrict the present application. All the changes, equivalent replacement as well as modifications made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall fall into the protection scope of the present application.
