Field of the Invention This invention relates to an image display device, and more particularly to an integrated image display device including a projection system and a head mounted display. [Prior Art] With the continuous advancement of optical technology, projectors have been widely used in various ® applications. In the case of general conference presentations, etc., in order to allow participants to clearly understand the content of the discussion, the host can project the relevant content or chart on the display screen by operating the projector, so that the participant can view the projection on the display screen. The information on the report clearly understands the content of the report. Furthermore, the scope of use of projectors has progressed with audio-visual equipment and storage media, such as high-powered audio, high-capacity DVDs, etc., so that the average family can also match the sound through the projector at home, and project by projector. The oversized face is like the cinematic experience of the cinema. This has led to the widespread use of projectors in the general household. In addition to the projectors described above, other important roles in home entertainment media systems include head-mounted displays. Head m〇unted display (HMD) is a stereoscopic display optical product that uses the stereoscopic effect of two-eye parallax to pass through the liquid crystal display and then to the user's eyes through optical components. Produce a stereoscopic picture. The 201109728 head-mounted display worn by the user on the head, with a small screen for two eyes, can produce a stereoscopic effect of large images, completely independent of the external environment and space. Currently, head-mounted displays are commonly used in augmented reality or virtual reality (VR) systems, which can be moved by the user and can be used as input devices to receive users. reaction. By wearing the ::: head-mounted display on the user, the image and text can be added to the user's observation of the surface created by the W, to achieve virtual reality or augmented reality. However, (4) projection devices and head-mounted displays are separate units. If the consumer needs to use both the projection effect and the head-mounted display 1 (four) device, it is necessary to prepare two different devices separately', which is easy to cause burden and money both in preparation and riding. Therefore, how to provide a display device with a small size and a silk-like display function is an important issue in the current consumer market. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an image display module that integrates a projection system and a head mounted display, thereby allowing a user to enjoy the functions of a projection system and a head mounted display in a display device in a lighter manner. A preferred embodiment of the present invention discloses an image display device including an image processing unit 'projecting system'; a head mounted display; and a switch mirror. The projection system and the head mounted display switch the light projected by the image processing unit to the head mounted display or the projection system. Another embodiment of the present invention discloses an image display device including an image processing unit, a projection system, a head mounted display, and a beam splitter disposed on the projection system and the head mounted display. At the same time, the light projected by the image processing unit is switched to the head mounted display and the projection system. [Embodiment] Please refer to Fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a module of an image display device 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The video display device 10 disclosed in this embodiment can be used to project a stereoscopic 3D picture and a general 2d face. The following description will be made by projecting a stereoscopic picture. As shown in FIG. 1 , the image display device 10 of the present invention mainly includes an image processing unit 12 , a head mounted display 14 , a projection system 16 , and a switching mirror 18 disposed on the head mounted display 14 and the projection system 16 . between. The image processing unit includes a light source 2〇, a prism group 22, and two liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display panels. The light source 20 mainly provides light required by the image display device 1 and the light source. 20 may be composed of various light-emitting elements such as a light-emitting diode or a high-intensity light bulb. The prism group 22 is preferably disposed at the exit of the light source 2, and includes a P〇larizing beam splitter (PBS) coating 26 to redefine the unpolarized light emitted by the light source 20 to 201109728 as P-polarized light. Polarized with S. The defined P-polarized and S-polarized light are again reflected by the two 矽-based liquid crystal display panels 24 to the switching mirror 18, and then switched by the switching mirror 18 to switch the light to the head mounted display 14 or the projection system 16. The head mounted display 14 of the image display device 10 mainly includes at least one polarizer group 28 and a lens group 30. The polarizer group 28 includes a polarizer 66 and a lens 68, and the lens group 30 includes a lens group 30. The mirror 70 is coupled to a lens 72. The polarizer 66 in the polarizer group 28 preferably reflects the S polarized light projected from the switching mirror 18 to the lens 68 and focuses, and the mirror 70 of the lens group 30 reflects the P polarized light projected from the polarizer 66 to the lens. 72 and focus. The focused S-polarized light and P-polarized light are directly projected onto the retina of the human eye 32 to form an enlarged virtual image. The portion of the projection system 16 disclosed in this embodiment is preferably a micro-projector, and the projection system 16 is mainly composed of a projection mirror group 34 and a φ screen 36. As the head-mounted display 14 projects light, the S-polarized and pupil-polarized light is switched by the switching mirror 18 to the projection system 16 and then passes through the mirror set 34 and then projected onto the screen 36 for viewing by the user. Taking the 3D face projected by this embodiment as an example, when the projected image is displayed on the screen 36, the surrounding viewer can wear the 3D stereo glasses and enjoy the stereoscopic face through the glasses. 6 201109728 It is worthwhile/intentional that when designing the projection system 丨6 and the head-mounted display 14, the brightness of the light is usually an important consideration. The higher the brightness of the projection system 16 and the higher the brightness of the projection, the better the projection effect. Therefore, the shirt system 16 usually requires a stronger light source to project a bright picture. Conversely, when the head mounted display 14 transmits light to the human eye through the polarizer 28, relatively weak light is required to avoid irritation or injury to the eyes, so the present invention integrates the projection system 16 with the head mounted display 14 The switching mirror 18 is utilized to deliver light sources of different intensities to the projection system 16 or the head mounted display 14. Therefore, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an attenuator 38 can be disposed between the switching mirror 18 and the head mounted display 14, and the intensity of light required for the head mounted display 14 can be adjusted by the attenuating sheet 38. The attenuator 38 can be a variable attenuator, for example, one can automatically adjust the ambient light according to time (such as day or night) or environment (such as indoor or outdoor) manually or with a # sensor. The attenuating sheet 38 of strength, or an optical film coated on the surface of the switching mirror 18 relative to the head mounted display 14. The attenuator 38 disclosed in this embodiment is preferably applied to the surface of the switching mirror 18, but may be disposed on the polarizer 66 of the head mounted display 14, that is, relatively adjacent to the user's eyes 32. It is within the scope of the invention. By means of the setting of the attenuating sheet 38, the present invention can be used to adjust the light received by the head mounted display 14 by the attenuation sheet 38 by using the switching mirror 18 to switch the light to a different target (such as the head mounted display 14 or the projection system 16). Light intensity, such as that that is reflected to the portion of projection system 16 that receives relatively strong light and that is reflected to head mounted display 14, receives weaker light. In addition, in this embodiment, although the attenuating piece 38 is directly disposed on the surface of the switching mirror 18, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the attenuating piece 38 may be further disposed on the switching mirror 18 with or without the attenuating piece. It is disposed on the polarizer 66 of the head mounted display 14 and thereby adjusts the intensity of light entering the head mounted display 14. This configuration is also within the scope of the present invention. Moreover, in addition to utilizing the attenuator 38 to adjust the light received by the head mounted display [mu], the present invention can adjust the light source entering the head mounted display 14 or projection system 16 directly with the switching mirror 18 itself. For example, the present invention can provide a switching mirror 18 having at least two reflective surfaces, and the two surfaces of the switching mirror 18 respectively have different reflectivities, and by switching mirrors (four) f, two different reflectivities The surface illuminates the light source of the H I4 and projection system 16 so that part of the projection system 16 is pure to relatively strong light and the portion of the head mounted display 14 receives weaker light, so that The same effect is achieved with the attenuator 38 set, or the attenuator 38 is selectively set. FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a pen set according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As with the module disclosed in the first embodiment, the display device 40 mainly includes an image processing unit 12, a head-mounted type! 201109728, a projector 14, a projection system 16, and a switching mirror 18 are disposed on the head mounted display I4. 16 between projection systems. The image processing unit 12 includes a light, a primary 20, a prism group 22, and two fluorinated liquid crystal display panels 24. The head mounted display 14 in the image display device 10 mainly comprises a polarizing plate 28 and a lens group 3, wherein the polarizer group includes a polarizer 66 and a lens 68, and the lens group 3 includes A mirror is formed with a lens 72. The polarizer 66 in the polarizer group 28 preferably reflects the S-polarized light projected by the switching mirror 8* to the lens 68 and focuses, and the mirror 70 of the lens group 3 reflects the p-polarized light projected by the polarizer 66. Go to lens 72 and focus. The portion of the projection system 16 disclosed in this embodiment is preferably a micro-proj ector, and the projection system 主要 6 is mainly composed of a mirror set 34 and a screen 36. Just as the master display 14 projects the light, the S-polarized and p-polarized light is switched by the switching mirror 18 to the projection system 16 and then passes through the projection set 34 and then projected onto the screen 36 for viewing by the user. In this embodiment, the light source 2 in the image processing unit 4 is connected to a light source control unit 48, including a switch 42, a high voltage power supply 44 and a low voltage power supply, and thereby controlling the strength of the light source 2〇, so that Projection system 16 or headphone 14 receives light of corresponding intensity. In other words, if necessary, the projection system 16 of the strong light source can control the voltage value of the power supply by _42 and provide a larger current to the light source 2G, thereby transmitting stronger light to the projection system 201109728 from the switch line to the head. Dai Tong 16. If a head mounted display [mu] that requires a weaker source is used, 4 2 provides a lower current to the source 2, thereby passing the weaker display 14. Referring to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a module of the display device 5G according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
