Example, but as described hereinafter, projection screen 10 can be used for long focus projector.Projection screen 10 includes from projector
The incident side of projection ray stack gradually surface micro-structure layer 14, body diffused layer 13, total reflection layer 12 and the light absorption of arrangement
Layer 11.Projection ray from projector 20 is incident to total reflection layer 12 through surface micro-structure layer 14, body diffused layer 13.Under
The incident side of the projection ray of projection screen 10 is also known as the outside (that is, towards viewer) of screen, by light absorption by Wen Zhong
Layer side is known as the inside (that is, backwards to viewer) of screen.Total reflection layer 12 is formed with microstructure unit array.Each micro-structure
Unit includes the optical texture (being discussed in detail below) by ingehious design, so that either from long focus projector
The projection ray that projection ray also comes from ultra short focal projector can be totally reflected in microstructure unit, finally quilt
It reflexes in the field range of viewer, and the environment veiling glare above projection screen 10 is unable to satisfy in microstructure unit
In the only condition that is totally reflected, thus transmission total reflection layer 12 is absorbed by light absorbing layer 11.Light absorbing layer 11 is, for example, black
's.
As shown in figure 4, the microstructure unit of total reflection layer 12 is in screen plane with the array arrangement knot of rotational symmetry

Need to be arranged other auxiliary functional layers according to design.
Fig. 5 shows the cross section structure of the microstructure unit of the total reflection layer 12 of projection screen according to an embodiment of the present invention
Schematic diagram.Shown in institute Fig. 5, total reflection layer 12 includes transparent substrate 120, microstructured layers 121 and la m 122.Transparent substrate 120
It contacts near light diffusion layer side and positioned at total reflection layer 12 with light diffusion layer, wherein the transparent substrate 120 includes
The transparent materials such as PET, PC or PMMA.The phase for the side of transparent substrate 120 contacted with light diffusion layer is arranged in microstructured layers 121
Opposite side.Wherein, the microstructured layers 121 use resin material, and the resin is usually epoxide-resin glue system, acrylic adhesive
System, polyester adhesive system, polyurethane adhesive system or polyimides glue system etc..Transparent substrate 120 and microstructured layers 121 pass through UV coating apparatus
Or thermal forming device forms one.La m 122 is formed in the close light absorbing layer side of microstructured layers 121, and inhales with light
Layer 11 is received to be in contact.The refractive index for forming the material of la m 122 is lower than the refractive index for forming the material of microstructured layers 121.Institute
It states the surface adjacent with la m 122 of microstructured layers 121 and is provided with multiple microstructure units.Wherein, in the every of total reflection layer 12
In one microstructure unit, microstructured layers 121 are formed total reflection prism.Fig. 5 shows micro- in two microstructure units
The main cross section diagram of the prism structure of structure sheaf 121.The side of each prism structure is by 4 intersecting planes 1241,1243,1244
It is constituted with 1242.In main cross section diagram shown in Fig. 5, this 4 intersecting planes are illustrated as relative to parallel with projection screen
Plane (hereinafter referred to as " screen plane ") have different inclination angle 4 sequentially connected line segments 1241 to 1244.Its
Middle plane 1241 and 1243, it is different relative to screen inclination angle with plane 1242 and 1244.In other words, in total reflection layer 12
In each microstructure unit, microstructured layers 121 are the ribs of the row's rotational symmetry formed on the surface of transparent substrate 120
Mirror, plane 1241,1243,1244 and 1244 are the boundaries between microstructured layers 121 and both the different material layers of la m 122
Face, wherein microstructured layers 121 are first material layer, and the la m 122 is second material layer.For example, such prism is logical
It crosses using solidifying to coil coating cloth resin and UV or heat curing process is process.It is clear in order to illustrate in Fig. 5, illustrate only two
A microstructure unit.It will more detail subsequently, since the projection ray of ultra short focal projector is incident to projection screen in as follows
Incident angle range (first angle range, such as 30 degree to 80 degree) and the projection ray of long focus projector be incident to projection screen
Incident angle range (second angle range, such as 0 degree to the 30 degree) difference of curtain is larger, so by the way that plane is dexterously arranged
1241,1243,1244 and 1244 inclined direction and tilt angle can make the incident ray 123 from ultra short focal projector
(as shown in Figure 5) recurs at two planes 1241 and 1242 and is totally reflected twice, is finally reflected into the visual field of viewer
In range, and make the incident ray 123 (being not shown in Fig. 5, please refer to Fig. 7) from long focus projector can be respectively at two
It is totally reflected, is finally reflexed in the field range of viewer at plane 1243 and 1244.That is, in microstructured layers 121, it is micro-
Interface between structure sheaf 121 and la m 122 includes two groups of planes, and one group (1241 and 1242) for making from ultrashort burnt throwing
The incident ray of shadow machine occurs total reflection and enters in the field range of viewer, and another group (1243 and 1244) for making to come from
The incident ray of long focus projector occurs total reflection and enters in the field range of viewer.
In addition, environment veiling glare 127 mostlys come from the ceiling light in room.In most cases, ceiling light is far from screen
Microstructure unit rotational symmetry structure rotation axis.Therefore, the incidence angle of environment veiling glare 127 is less than from ultrashort burnt throwing
The incident angle of the projection ray of shadow machine, but it is much larger than the incident angle of the projection ray from long focus projector.Therefore, ring
Border veiling glare 127 is unable to satisfy in plane 1241 and plane 1242 or occurs to be totally reflected twice in succession in plane 1243 and 1244
Condition, the overwhelming majority penetrated microstructure unit and absorbed by light absorbing layer 11.
As described above, the angle Selection sexual reflex of total reflection layer 12 is utilized in projection screen 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention
Characteristic, so that in the field range that the projection ray from ultra short focal projector can either be reflexed to viewer by screen, and energy
In enough field ranges that the projection ray from focal length projector is reflexed to viewer.Meanwhile projection screen 10 can also be certainly
It is dynamic to distinguish projection ray and ambient light, and the light absorbing layer 11 for absorbing environment veiling glare is integrally provided at total reflection layer
12 inside reduces costs to realize high contrast and simplify processing technology, improves yield rate.
Two, the optical principle and angle Selection of microstructure unit are totally reflected
The total reflection micro-structure of projection screen 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail next, with reference to Fig. 6 to Fig. 8
The optical principle of unit.Wherein, Fig. 6 shows the optical path example when projection screen 10 is for ultra short focal projector, and Fig. 7 is shown
Optical path example when projection screen 10 is used for long focus projector, Fig. 8 are shown when environment veiling glare is incident to projection screen 10
When optical path example.
As shown in fig. 6, the refractive index of microstructured layers 121 is n1Refractive index with la m 122 is n2, the 4 of microstructure unit
A inclined intersecting plane 1241,1242,1243 and 1244 is respectively θ relative to the inclination angle of screen plane1、θ2、θ3And θ4
(unit is degree, similarly hereinafter).Incident ray and the angle of reflection light and vertical direction are respectively α and β (unit is degree, similarly hereinafter).
Wherein, when reflection light horizontal exit, β is obviously 0 degree, and is set: when reflection light below horizontal line (that is, be biased to
Ground) when β be negative value, when reflection light (that is, be biased to ceiling) above the horizon, β is positive value.
It is complete twice in order to occur that the incident ray 123 from ultra short focal projector 20 on clinoplain 1241 and 1242
It is emitted after reflection towards the eyes direction of viewer, according to geometric optical theory and optical total-reflection condition, it is necessary to meet such as
Under formula (1)~(3):
θ can not be determined completely based on above-mentioned formula (1)~(3)1And θ2Value, also there are certain design freedoms.It is false
If the angle of intermediate rays and screen plane (that is, vertical direction) between incident ray and emergent ray is γ, and is set
When intermediate rays are biased to viewer side, γ is positive value, and when intermediate rays are biased to viewer side, γ is negative value.Then according to geometric optics
Principle and optical total-reflection condition can calculate:
By formula (4) and (5) as long as it is found that having determined the optical path of incident ray, emergent ray and intermediate rays (that is, really
Determine α, β and γ), so that it may the tilt angle theta of two intersecting planes 1241 and 1242 of micro-structure is determined completely1And θ2。
In addition, being also known by formula (4) and (5), even if the case where the optical path of incident ray, emergent ray has been determined
Under, can also according to according to different application demands, by adjusting intermediate rays optical path (that is, value of adjustment γ) certain
To θ in range1And θ2Value selected.For example, projector is located at the lower section of screen, institute in the application of ultrashort out-of-focus projection
It is always set up with α > 0;And the eyes of spectators are located at the top of projector, in order to guarantee that emergent ray is incident to spectators' eyes, institute
It is also always set up with alpha+beta > 0;In the case, available by formula (1):
θ1+θ2< 90 (6)
By formula (6) it is found that in the application of ultrashort out-of-focus projection, the microstructure unit of projection screen according to the present invention
The angle that two clinoplains 1241 and 1242 are formed is necessary for obtuse angle.
In addition, as the above analysis, the incident ray 123 from ultra short focal projector passes through the inclination of microstructure unit
It is preferred that intermediate rays after the total reflection of plane 1241, which are advanced in microstructured layers 121 along the direction parallel with screen plane,
's.
At this point, θ is worked as in γ=0 degree, β=0 degree2=45 degree, emergent ray along outgoing, that is, β=0 degree with screen vertical,
Again according to θ known to above-mentioned formula (6)1< 45 degree namely θ1<θ2。
Since one group of clinoplain 1241 and 1242 of microstructure unit has optical texture as described above, in Fig. 6
It is shown, one group clinoplain 1241 He of a part of incident ray 123 from ultra short focal projector 20 in microstructure unit
Occur to be totally reflected twice at 1242, be reflected onto the field range of viewer;And another portion from ultra short focal projector 20
Incident ray 123 is divided to be radiated on another group of clinoplain 1243 and 1244 of microstructure unit, due to 1243 He of clinoplain
1244 do not have above-mentioned optical texture, so the incident ray 123 from ultra short focal projector 20 is in 1243 He of clinoplain
Total reflection condition is unsatisfactory at least one of 1244, then this some light penetrates total reflection layer, by the light absorbing layer of inside
11 absorb.
Fig. 7 illustrates the optical path example when projection screen 10 is for long focus projector.When projection screen 10 be used to grow
When focus projector, as shown in fig. 7, a part of incident ray 123 is at one group of clinoplain 1243 and 1244 of microstructure unit
Generation is totally reflected twice, is reflected onto the field range of viewer.Since the incident ray of long focus projector may be considered
With the approximate angle incidence with vertical screen plane, so in order to reflex to incident ray in the field range of viewer,
Clinoplain 1243 and 1244 needs to meet following relational expression relative to the inclination angle of screen plane:
θ3+θ4=90 (6)
In addition, another part incident ray 123 is radiated on another group of clinoplain 1241 and 1242 of microstructure unit,
Since the inclination angle of clinoplain 1241 and 1242 is unsatisfactory for relational expression (6), so the incident ray 123 from long focus projector
Total reflection condition is unsatisfactory at least one of clinoplain 1241 and 1242, then this some light penetrates total reflection layer,
It is absorbed by the light absorbing layer 11 of inside.
In microstructure unit, other than the tilt angle relative to screen plane, ultrashort coke is come from for being totally reflected
The plane 1241 and 1242 of the projection ray of projector and the plane for being totally reflected the projection ray from long focus projector
The relationship of the development length of 1243 and 1244 this two groups of planes also has large effect to the optical property of screen.Pass through experiment
It is found that when plane 1243 and 1244 development length and plane 1241,1242,1243 and 1244 the ratio between extension total length (that is,
In the main cross section figure of Fig. 6 to Fig. 8, the sum of length of line segment 1243 and line segment 1244 and 1241 line segment 1242 of line segment, line segment
1243 and line segment 1244 total length ratio) 0.2 and less than 0.8 should be greater than.
It compares with above situation, Fig. 8 illustrates the optical path example when environment veiling glare is incident to projection screen 10.It is throwing
In the practical service environment of shadow system, environment veiling glare is generally mainly derived from the lamps and lanterns above ceiling or wall.Thus, environment
What the incident angle of veiling glare on the projection screen will be issued much smaller than the ultra short focal projector from being located at screen lower section short distance
The incidence angle of projection ray.Therefore, when environment veiling glare 127 is incident on projection screen from ceiling side, environment is miscellaneous
Light is unable to satisfy in plane 1241 and 1242 or recurs the condition being totally reflected twice in plane 1243 and 1244, but
It is fully absorbed through total reflection layer by the light absorbing layer 11 of inside.
In addition, being to set gradually 1241,1243,1244 and in the figure of main cross section from top to bottom in the above description
The explanation carried out in case where 1242.However, by analysis above it is found that the order of placement of four planes is without being limited thereto.Example
Such as, as shown in figure 9, can also by be used for be totally reflected from the projection ray of long focus projector one group of plane (that is,
1243 and 1244) be set to outside, in other words, according to be followed successively by from top to bottom 1243,1241,1242 and 1244 sequence arrange
This four planes.Wherein, as described above, the angle of plane 1243 and plane 1244 is 90 degree, plane 1241 and plane 1241
Angle is obtuse angle.
In addition, and including multiple micro-structures as described above, projection screen according to the present invention 10 has rotational symmetry structure
Unit.Therefore, the angle design of each microstructure unit can be same or different.For example, in order to make emergent ray begin
The direction of whole horizontally directive viewer, so β=0 degree and θ2=45 degree are set up always.According to analog result it is found that micro-structure
The θ of unit1It is gradually reduced with the top of close screen, and θ1<θ2, thus meet above-mentioned formula (6).Alternatively, can also be
Under the premise of meeting above-mentioned formula (1) to (6), along the direction from screen center to screen edge, the micro-structure of projection screen
The θ of unit1Value constantly reduce and θ2Value constantly increase.
Three, it is totally reflected the refractive index selection of microstructure unit
In addition to θ1To θ4Value except, by optical total-reflection formula it is found that meeting the total reflection micro-structure that is totally reflected twice
Unit is also by the refractive index n of microstructured layers 1211With the refractive index n of la m 1222Influence.Projection screen according to the present invention
The microstructured layers 121 of curtain are usually made of transparent resin material, and refractive index is in the range of 1.3~1.7.Alternatively, micro-
Structure sheaf 121 also can be used the other materials with similar refractive index and be made.Furthermore it is also possible to microstructured layers 121 are made
Material in adulterate scattered ion(s) or absorbing material etc..Thus, in order to meet the condition of total reflection, need to consider la m 122
Refractive index n2Selection.Incident ray V can be expressed as (Vx,Vy,Vz), wherein z-axis normal to screen, and X, Y-axis are parallel to
Screen.Obviously, the total reflection region of incident ray depends on VxAnd VyValue range.VzMeet:
It is assumed that emergent ray is towards the eyes of viewer and the refractive index n of microstructured layers 1211It is 1.6, according to above-mentioned formula
(2) and (3) can obtain the component (V for meeting the incident ray of total reflection conditionx,Vy) value range with la m 122 folding
Penetrate rate n2Variation tendency.With n2Increase, meet the incident ray that is totally reflected on two inclined-planes of microstructure unit
Region constantly reduce.In other words, with n2Increase, the light issued from projector can not be at two of microstructure unit tiltedly
Face occurs the probability being totally reflected twice and increases.Therefore, it in order to guarantee certain screen reflection efficiency, needs to make n1And n2Meet:
n2<n1-0.2 (8)
It should be appreciated that la m 122 can be air layer in the case where meeting above-mentioned condition.In the case, micro- knot
The tip of the reflecting prism of structure layer 121 can directly be bonded to light absorbing layer 11.
Four, the selection of light diffusion layer
As described above, projection ray is after the reflection of total reflection layer 12, the angle of divergence of emergent ray generally all very little, in order to
Increase the visual range of projected picture, light diffusion layer can be set in the outside of total reflection layer 12.In the example depicted in fig. 3,
Total reflection layer 12 has been orderly arranged outside each body diffused layer 13 and surface micro-structure layer 14 as light diffusion layer.However, it is also possible to
It is provided only with one layer of light diffusion layer.A~c of Figure 10 respectively illustrates 3 kinds of commercialization optical scatterings that may be used as light diffusion layer
Membrane structure: volume scattering film, irregular surface scatter film and regular surfaces microlens array film.These types scattering film
Material may serve to increase the visual range of screen, and can according to need exclusive use or stacking use.For example, can be with
The micro- knot of body diffused layer 13 and surface in Fig. 3 is formed using volume scattering film and regular surfaces microlens array film by superposition
Structure layer 14.The value volume and range of product of stacking is without being limited thereto.
In the case where using optical scattering film as light diffusion layer, total reflection layer and light diffusion layer is first respectively prepared,
Then optics is bonded.Alternatively, different surfaces can also be carried out by two surfaces to same substrate (for example, PET)
Processing, is respectively formed light scattering layer and total reflection layer.
Although above, with reference to the accompanying drawings of luminaire according to the present invention, but the invention is not restricted to this,
And it will be understood by those skilled in the art that in the case where the spirit or scope limited without departing from appended claim of the present invention,
Various changes, combination, secondary combination and modification can be made.
