  • the amount of light in the direction of the emission angle of 0 degree is the largest in the 2A example, that is, the light distribution characteristic of the emitted light is the best when the light is condensed on the phosphor layer 106d.
  • the condensing state varies depending on the position (distance from the optical axis, etc.) of the optical element 106h in the light deflecting unit 106e, the condensing position of all the optical elements 106h is within the phosphor layer 106d.
  • the second B if the condensing position is not separated from the phosphor layer 106d. Since the light distribution characteristics of the emitted light can be improved as shown in the 2C embodiment, there is an effect in increasing the light use efficiency.
  • the pitch p of the optical element will be considered. 15 and 16, in Example 2A, the pitch p (see FIG. 3) of the optical element is changed in accordance with a multiple of the average (median diameter) of the particle diameter of the phosphor layer (for example, 5 times if x5).
  • the center luminance values (vertical axis) of the light emitted from the light deflecting unit are respectively shown in comparison.
  • the pitch p of the optical element is set to be not more than four times the average (median diameter) of the particle diameter of the phosphor layer. It can be seen that if the average particle diameter (median diameter) of the phosphor layer is 5 times or more, a sufficient amount of energy can be secured and illumination light with high luminance can be realized. However, if it is too large, the effect of division is reduced, so it is desirable that the average particle diameter (median diameter) of the phosphor layer be 20 times or less.
  • the pitch p of the optical element is 10 times or more the average (median diameter) of the particle diameter of the phosphor layer.

Abstract

L'invention concerne : un élément de conversion de longueur d'onde avec lequel il est possible d'améliorer une caractéristique de distribution de lumière dans le but de produire une image de haute qualité ; et un dispositif de formation d'images l'utilisant. Par l'utilisation d'éléments optiques (106h) d'une section de déviation de lumière (106e) pour diviser un faisceau lumineux rétréci à un petit diamètre par une lentille de condenseur (105), il est possible de condenser la lumière dans une couche de luminophore (106d) relativement mince tout en réduisant chaque intensité lumineuse, et la détérioration de la couche de luminophore (106d) peut par conséquent être supprimée. En outre, la fluorescence produite par la couche de luminophore (106d) devient une lumière de retour dans un état diffusé mais est réfractée par les éléments optiques (106h) de la section de déviation de lumière (106e) et émise selon un angle proche de l'angle d'incidence d'un faisceau de lumière incident sur la section de déviation de lumière (106e). Il est par conséquent possible de limiter l'expansion de la distribution de lumière et d'émettre un faisceau lumineux parallèle en utilisant la lentille de condenseur (105) à faible nombre d'ouverture.
