Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of projection technology, and in particular, to a projection system.
- the conventional light source includes a bulb source such as a UHP or a xenon lamp, and an LED light source, an RGB pure laser light source, and a laser-excited phosphor light source are gradually developed, and the latter can be considered as a semiconductor light-emitting device. light source.
- RGB laser source Due to the limited amount of optical expansion, the projection system of the LED light source has insufficient brightness, and is limited in many fields, especially in theater applications where brightness is required.
- the common contrast is RGB laser source and laser phosphor source.
- RGB laser source has the advantages of high color purity and wide color gamut. It can generally reach the REC2020 color gamut standard, but its speckle problem is difficult to solve.
- the light source that excites the phosphor does not have speckle problems, and the visual performance is good, and the DCI standard can generally be achieved in terms of color gamut. For most cases of actually viewing images, the DCI gamut is sufficient. It can be imagined that the captured image comes from nature, life around, etc.
- the object has a certain color, from the spectrum of its reflection, the spectrum of the general reflection will be a relatively continuous spectrum with a certain width. Therefore, the color of the object will fall within the DCI gamut unless there is a situation where the camera directly captures a pure laser beam, such as a 532 nm green laser beam and a 638 nm red laser beam, at which point the DCI gamut cannot be restored.
- the intrinsic color of these two laser beams which is also considered to be a place where the laser fluorescent light source is not as good as the RGB pure laser light source, so how to make the laser fluorescent light source also have a color gamut beyond the DCI while maintaining its high luminous efficiency.
- Existing pure laser projectors can achieve a large color gamut of REC2020, while the color gamut range of laser phosphor technology projectors is DCI709, although most of the colors in nature are in the DCI gamut, but in certain cases For example, when the color of a pure laser is displayed, it will be outside the DCI gamut. When the projector of the existing laser phosphor technology displays the color, the color display beyond the DCI gamut is not realistic.
- the projection image with high fidelity has become a reference standard for consumers to pursue projection products.
- the color gamut range of the existing laser phosphor technology satisfies the conventional color display in nature, but the special image color will be outside the DCI color gamut. If the DCI color gamut is used for display, it is outside the DCI color gamut. Colors can only be displayed with colors on the DCI gamut boundaries, but different color differences are not reflected. Eventually the color display that is not within the DCI gamut is distorted.
- the present invention provides a projection system that can effectively widen the color gamut.
- a projection system comprising:
- Light source device including
- a first light source for emitting a first light for modulating an image, the first light being used to modulate an image within a first color gamut

- a light modulation module configured to image modulate light emitted by the light source device according to image data to generate non-projected light and projection light required for an image to be displayed;
- a projection lens for receiving the projection light to project an image
- a light recycling module configured to recycle the non-projected light to the optical modulation module for reuse.
- the light modulation module modulates the supplemental light to generate projected light such that the projected image is

Description
本发明涉及投影技术领域,尤其涉及一种投影系统。
现有投影系统被广泛地应用在影院、教育、电视等领域,投影系统按照其采用光调制模块的种类可以分为DMD(Digital Micromirror
Device)、LCOS(Liquid Crystal on Silicon)、LCD(Liquid Crystal
Display)等,按照光调制模块的数量可分为单片式、双片式和三片式系统。在投影系统的光源方面,传统的光源包括UHP、氙灯等灯泡光源,目前逐渐发展起来的有LED光源、RGB纯激光光源和激光激发荧光粉光源,后者可以认为是以半导体发光器件为基础的光源。受限于光学扩展量,LED光源的投影系统,亮度不足,在许多领域尤其是对亮度要求较高的影院场合应用受限。目前常见的对比区分在于RGB激光光源和激光荧光粉光源,RGB激光光源具有色纯度高、色域广的优势,一般能够达到REC2020色域标准,但其散斑问题是难以解决的疑难问题,激光激发荧光粉的光源不存在散斑问题,视觉表现好,在色域方面一般能够达到DCI标准。针对实际观看图像的绝大多数情况,DCI色域已经足够。可以这样设想,拍摄的图像来自于自然界、生活周边等,我们之所以能够看到物体具有一定的颜色,来自于其反射的光谱,一般反射的光谱都会是较为连续的、具有一定宽度的光谱,因此物体的颜色都会落在DCI色域之内,除非存在这样的情况:拍摄设备直接拍摄了纯激光的光束,例如532nm的绿激光光束和638nm的红激光光束,此时DCI色域无法还原出这两种激光光束的本征颜色,而这也被认为是激光荧光光源不如RGB纯激光光源的地方,因此如何使得激光荧光光源也能够具有超出DCI的色域,同时又能够维持其高光效的特点,成为一个有挑战性的课题。
现有纯激光投影机能够实现REC2020的大色域范围,而激光荧光粉技术的投影机的色域范围是DCI709,虽然自然界中绝大部分颜色均在DCI色域范围内,但是在特定情况下,比如显示纯激光的颜色时,会位于DCI色域之外,现有的激光荧光粉技术的投影机在显示该颜色时,会使超出DCI色域之外的颜色显示不逼真。
随着激光投影技术的发展,逼真度高的投影画面也成为消费者追逐投影产品的一个参考标准。现有的激光荧光粉技术的色域范围满足一般自然界中常规的颜色显示,但对于特殊的图像颜色会在DCI色域之外,如果采用DCI色域来显示,则位于DCI色域之外的颜色只能用DCI色域边界上的颜色来显示,然而不同的颜色差就无法体现出来。最终使得不在DCI色域范围之内的颜色显示失真。
为解决现有技术投影系统不能显示特定色域的技术问题,本发明提供一种可以有效拓宽色域的投影系统。
一种投影系统,包括:
光源装置,包括
第一光源,用来发出用来调制图像的第一光,所述第一光用来调制第一色域范围内的图像;及
第二光源,用来发出拓宽所述第一光源发出第一光中的至少一种颜色光的色域的补充光,所述补充光用来与所述第一光共同调制第二色域范围内的图像;
光调制模块,用来依据图像数据对所述光源装置发出的光进行图像调制以产生非投影光及待显示图像所需的投影光;
投影镜头,用来接收所述投影光以投影图像;及
光回收模块,用来将所述非投影光回收至所述光调制模块再次利用。
与现有技术相比较,所述投影系统中,由于所述第二光源能够发出拓宽所述投影系统的色域的补充光,所述光调制模块调制所述补充光产生投影光使得投影图像的色域被有效拓宽,从而改善画面颜色失真现象,因而所述投影系统的色域范围较宽、画面颜色逼真、显示效果较好。此外,所述投影系统还具有光回收模块,所述光回收模块可将所述非投影光回收至所述光调制模块再次利用,可提高所述投影系统的光利用率。

具体地,若所述色域判断模块150判断待显示图像的色域范围落在第一色域范围F1内,所述第一色域范围F1为所述第一光可以展示的色域范围,则所述色域判断模块150输出控制信号至所述光源控制器120控制所述第一光源111开启,所述光调制模块140依据所述图像数据调制所述第一光产生投影光。
若所述色域判断模块150判断待显示图像的色域范围的至少部分在第二色域范围,所述第二色域范围为所述第一色域范围以外的色域范围,且所述第二色域范围在所述补充光与所述第一光共同可以展示的色域范围内,及即所述第二色域范围内的图像数据可以由所述第一光源发出的第一光和所述第二光源发出的第二光共同投影形成,则所述色域判断模块150输出控制信号至所述光源控制器120控制至少所述第二光源112开启(即可以仅控制所述第一光源111开启也可以控制所述第一光源111与所述第二光源112都开启),所述光调制模块140依据所述图像数据调制至少所述补充光(当所述第一光源111与所述第二光源112均开启时,即调制所述第一光与所述补充光)产生所述投影光。

可以理解,所述色域判断模块150可以分析所述图像数据DATA的各子帧图像数据的灰阶值来计算所述各子帧图像数据混合后的色域值,从而判断所述色域值落在第一色域范围F1还是第二色域范围F2。所述色域判断模块150可以集成在所述投影系统100的图像数据处理模块中,所述图像数据处理模块接收到所述图像数据DATA对所述图像数据DATA进行解压等处理,并进一步基于各子帧图像数据的灰阶值来计算所述色域值以判断所述待显示图像的色域范围。

请参阅图4,在第一种实施例中,所述第一合光元件113包括第一区域113a与第二区域113b,所述第一区域113a与所述第二区域113b其中的一个区域为光透射区域,所述第一区域113a与所述第二区域113b中的另外一个区域为光反射区域,所述第一区域113a将所述补充光与所述非投影光均引导(如反射或透射)至所述光调制模块140,所述第二区域113b将所述第一光引导(如透射或反射)至所述光调制模块140。具体地,如图4所示,所述第一区域113a为反射区域,所述第二区域113b为透射区域,所述第一区域113a可以为矩形区域且位于所述第一合光元件113的中央,所述第二区域113b可以环设于所述第一区域113a外围,为矩形环状区域。所述第一区域113a接收所述第二光源112发出的补充光及所述光路模块162回收的非投影光并将所述补充光与所述非投影光反射至所述光处理元件130,使得所述光处理元件130将处理后的所述补充光与非投影光引导至所述光调制模块140。所述第二区域113b接收所述第一光并将所述第一光透射至所述光处理元件130,进而所述光处理元件130将处理后的所述第一光引导至所述光调制模块140。
本实施方式中,所述光路模块162可以包括引导元件163(如反射元件)与第二合光元件164,所述引导元件163用来接收所述分光模块161发出的所述非投影光并将所述非投影光引导(如反射)至所述第二合光元件164,所述第二光源112发出的所述补充光也被引导至所述第二合光元件164,所述第二合光元件164将所述非投影光与所述补充光合光并引导至所述第一合光元件113。具体地,所述第二合光元件164可以将所述补充光透射至所述第一合光元件113,并将所述非投影光反射至所述第一合光元件113。在变更实施方式中,若所述分光模块161可以直接将所述非投影光引导至所述第二合光元件164,所述引导元件163也可以被省略,或者,所述第二合光元件164与所述引导元件163互换位置,所述第二合光元件164接收所述分光模块161发出的所述非投影光及所述补充光并将所述非投影光与所述补充光均引导至所述引导元件163,以通过所述引导元件163引导(如反射)至所述第一合光元件113。
进一步地,所述第二合光元件164为偏振合光元件,所述第二合光元件164用来将具有第一偏振态的光与具有第二偏振态的光中的一种透射并将具有第一偏振态的光与具有第二偏振态的光中的另外一种反射。可以理解,所述第一偏振态的光可以指S偏振光,所述第二偏振态的光对应的指P偏振光,当然,反之亦可。本实施方式中,所述第二合光元件164将所述第二光源112发出的具有第一偏振态的补充光引导(如透射)至所述第一合光元件113,所述第二合光元件164将具有第二偏振态的所述非投影光引导(如反射)至第一合光元件113。对应地,所述第二光源112可以发出具有第一偏振态的补充光,或者所述第二光源112包括激光器与偏振元件,所述激光器发出的光经由所述偏振元件转换为具有第一偏振态的补充光,从而所述第二合光元件164将具有第一偏振态的补充光引导至所述第一合光元件113。更进一步地,所述非投影光优选为具有第二偏振态的光,即所述分光模块161或者所述光调制模块140发出的所述非投影光即为所述具有第二偏振态的光;然而,当所述分光模块161或者所述光调制模块140发出的所述非投影光为具有第一偏振态的光,则可以在所述光路模块162中增加偏振元件(如偏振转换器),以将所述具有第一偏振态的光转换为具有第二偏振态的光并将所述第二偏振态的光引导至所述第二合光元件164。对应地,当所述第二合光元件164为偏振合光元件时,所述光调制模块140优选为LCOS空间光调制器或LCD空间光调制器,以起到有效利用及回收具有偏振态的光的目的。
此外,本实施方式中,所述第二合光元件164与所述第一合光元件113之间还可以设置聚集元件(如收集透镜等),从而将所述第二合光元件164出射的光聚集并投射至所述第一合光元件113的第一区域113a,以便所述第一区域113a将所述补充光即所述回收的非投影光均引导至所述光处理元件130,以引导至所述光调制模块140,而所述光调制模块140除了依据所述第二色域范围F2内的图像数据调制所述第一光外还可以调制所述补充光,以及调制所述回收的非投影光,减少系统的光损失及提高系统的光利用率。
与现有技术相比较,所述投影系统100中,由于所述第二光源112能够发出拓宽所述投影系统100的色域的补充光,所述光调制模块140调制所述补充光产生投影光使得投影图像的色域被有效拓宽,从而改善画面颜色失真现象,因而所述投影系统100的色域范围较宽、画面颜色逼真、显示效果较好。此外,所述投影系统100还具有光回收模块160,所述光回收模块160可将所述非投影光回收至所述光调制模块140再次利用,可提高所述投影系统100的光利用率。
进一步地,在上述第一实施方式的一种变更实施方式中,所述第一合光元件113还可以有如下变更:所述第一区域113a可以反射第一偏振态的光并透射所述第二偏振态的光,且自然光均可透射;所述第二区域113b则对所有光均透射。同时,所述第二合光元件164与所述第一合光元件113之间可以设置偏振元件(如偏振转换器),且所述偏振元件可以透射第一偏振态的光并将所述第二偏振态的光转换为第一偏振态的光,使得所述补充光与所述回收的非投影光达到所述第一合光元件113时都为第一偏振态的光,从而所述第一区域113a进一步将所述补充光及所述非投影光反射至所述光处理元件130,进而到达所述光调制模块140再次利用所述非投影光的效果。可以理解,本实施方式中,照射到所述第一区域113a的第一光的具有第一偏振态的光被损失掉,所述第一光中具有第二偏振态的光可以被透射至所述光处理元件130。
请参阅图5,图5是本发明第二实施方式的投影系统200的结构示意图。所述第二实施方式的投影系统200与第一实施方式的投影系统100基本相同,也就是说,上述对第一实施方式的投影系统100的描述基本上都适用于所述第二实施方式的投影系统200,二者的主要区别在于:光回收模块260的光路模块262、第一合光元件213及第二光源212的位置均与第一实施方式中有所不同。
具体地,所述第二实施方式中,所述光路模块262包括二引导元件(如反射元件),所述第一合光元件213为偏振合光元件,所述第一合光元件213透射具有第一偏振态的光并且反射具有第二偏振态的光。第一光源211发出的第一光与第二光源212发出的补充光均为具有第一偏振态的光或者通过设置偏振元件(如偏振转换器)将所述第一光及所述补充光均转换成具有第一偏振态的光,所述第一合光元件213将所述第一光及所述补充光引导(透射)至光处理元件230,进而到达光调制模块240。所述光调制模块240可以为LCD或LCOS空间光调制器,其出射的非投影光为具有第二偏振态的光,所述具有第二偏振态的非投影光经所述分光模块261引导至所述光路模块262,所述光路模块262将所述具有第二偏振态的非投影光引导(反射)至所述第一合光元件213,所述第一合光元件213将所述具有第二偏振态的光反射至所述光处理元件230,进而到达所述光调制模块240再次利用。

具体地,所述合光元件418对所述第一光中的第二颜色光与所述补充光中的第二颜色光有多种引导方式。以下主要以两种实施例作详细说明。
在一种实施例中,所述合光元件418可以包括第一区域与第二区域,所述第一区域反射所述第一光中的第二颜色光,所述第二区域透射所述第二颜色的补充光,且所述合光元件418周期性旋转,使得所述第一区域在所述第一时间段位于所述第二光源412发出的第二颜色的补充光所在的光路上,且所述第二区域在所述第二时间段位于所述第一光源经由所述分光元件413发出的第一光中的第二颜色光所在的光路上,使得所述合光元件418可以在时间上顺序提供第一光中的第二颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光至所述第二空间光调制器442,使得所述第二空间光调制器442分时(即顺序)依据图像数据调制所述第一光中的第二颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光。
在另一种实施例中,所述合光元件418为偏振合光元件,所述第一光中的第二颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光的偏振态正交,如所述第一光中的第二颜色光为具有第一偏振态的光或者所述第一光中的第二颜色光经由偏振元件(如设置于所述分光元件413与所述合光元件418的偏振转换元件)转换为具有第一偏振态的第二颜色光,所述具有第一偏振态的第二颜色光被所述合光元件418引导(如反射)至所述第二空间光调制器442;所述补充光中的第二颜色光为具有第二偏振态的光,即所述第二光源412直接发出具有第二偏振态的第二颜色光或者所述第二光源412包括激光器与偏振元件,所述激光器发出的第二颜色光经由所述偏振元件转换为具有第二偏振态的第二颜色光作为所述补充光,所述具有第二偏振态的第二颜色的补充光被所述合光元件418引导(如透射)至所述第二空间光调制器442。所述第二空间光调制器442依据图像数据调制所述具有第一偏振态的第二颜色光及所述具有第二偏振态的第二颜色的补充光,对应发出用来投影显示的具有第一偏振态的第二颜色的投影光及不用于投影显示的具有第二偏振态的第二颜色的非投影光至所述分光模块461。所述分光模块461将所述具有第一偏振态的第二颜色光引导至所述投影镜头470,并将所述具有第二偏振态的第二颜色光引导至所述光路模块462,所述光路模块462可以包括多个引导元件463、464、465(如反射元件),所述多个引导元件463、464、465将所述具有第二偏振态的第二颜色光引导至所述光源装置的分光元件413或合光元件418(本实施例以合光元件418为例)。其中,所述合光元件418可以在时间上顺序提供第一光中的第二颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光至所述第二空间光调制器442,使得所述第二空间光调制器442分时(即顺序)依据图像数据调制所述第一光中的第二颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光;但是,在变更实施例中,所述合光元件418也可以在时间上是同时提供第一光中的第二颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光至所述第二空间光调制器442,使得所述第二空间光调制器442同时依据图像数据调制所述第一光中的第二颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光。
更进一步地,由于激光的光学扩展量小,激光较于荧光更容易回收,以及对于激光进行回收可以节省激光的功率,以及荧光与激光的混合光可调制的图像色域相对于纯激光可调制的色域较小,因此,本实施方式中,可以设置成尽量多回收激光而尽量少回收荧光。为达到上述目的,具体地,如图8所示,所述光路模块462中一个或多个引导元件463、464、465(如反射元件:反射镜)主要通过反射引导所述非投影光,所述非投影光包括基于所述第一光的对应颜色光形成的非投影光与基于所述补充光的对应颜色光形成的非投影光,所述第一光形成的非投影光在预定位置形成的主光斑的尺寸一般远大于所述补充光形成的非投影光在所述预定位置形成的主光斑的尺寸,可以将所述引导元件463、464、465设置于所述预定位置且所述引导元件在所述预定位置的实际反射面的尺寸小于所述第一光形成的非投影光在预定位置形成的主光斑的尺寸且基本上刚好等于所述引导元件463、464、465在所述预定位置的反射面的尺寸,由此可以进了减小对所述第一光中的对应颜色光进行的回收利用,而主要针对有效的补充光进行回收利用。
更进一步地,在一种实施例中,当所述第一光中的对应颜色光及所述补充光是分时被提供到所述第二空间光调制器442时,当所述分光模块461发出所述第一光形成的非投影光时,所述光路模块462可以关闭,即所述光回收模块460暂停回收所述非投影光;当所述分光模块发出所述补充光形成的非投影光时,所述光路模块462开启,所述光回收模块260回收基于所述补充光形成的非投影光。
如图8所示:第一光中的第二颜色的非投影光A与第二颜色的补充光中的非投影光C从所述分光模块461中出射,第一光中的第二颜色的非投影光A的光束面积比第二颜色的补充光中的非投影光C的光束面积大。引导元件463的大小仅适用于完全接收第二颜色的补充光中的非投影光C。
进一步地,在所述第四实施方式中的变更实施方式中,所述第二颜色光与所述第三颜色光的光路可以互换,进一步地,在所述第一时间段,所述第二光源412可以发出第三颜色光的补充光(如绿色补充光),所述第三颜色的补充光经所述光处理元件419c(如匀光元件:复眼透镜)匀光后,再经所述合光元件418透射、所述光处理元件419a(如收集透镜)聚集后到达所述第二空间光调制器442,所述第二空间光调制器442可以依据第二色域范围F2的第三颜色的图像数据调制所述第三颜色的补充光,所述第二空间光调制器442发出用来投影显示的具有第一偏振态的第三颜色光及不用于投影显示的具有第二偏振态的第三颜色光至所述分光模块461。所述分光模块461将所述具有第一偏振态的第三颜色光引导至所述投影镜头470,并将所述具有第二偏振态的第三颜色光引导至所述光路模块462,所述光路模块462可以包括多个引导元件463、464、465(如反射元件),所述多个引导元件463、464、465将所述具有第二偏振态的第三颜色光引导至所述光源装置。具体地,与第三实施方式中不同的是,所述多个引导元件463、464、465将所述具有第二偏振态的第三颜色的非投影光引导至所述合光元件418(第三实施方式中,非投影光被引导至分光元件313),从而所述合光元件418将所述非投影光及所述补充光合光后提供到所述第二空间光调制器442再次利用。
在第二时间段,所述第一光源411发出第一光中的黄色转换光,所述黄色转换光经所述分光元件413(如二向色片)分束,所述第一光中的第三颜色光(如绿色光)被所述分光元件413引导(如透射)至所述合光元件418,所述合光元件418将所述第一光中的第三颜色光进一步引导(如反射)至所述第二空间光调制器442,以使所述第二空间光调制器442依据第三颜色的图像数据调制所述第一光中的第三颜色光产生第三颜色的投影光与非投影光,其中所述第三颜色的投影光可以被所述分光模块461引导至所述投影镜头进行投影显示。进一步地,同时,所述第一光中的第二颜色光(如红色光)被所述分光元件引导(反射)至所述引导元件419b,进而通过所述引导元件419b到达所述第一空间光调制器441,使得所述第一空间光调制器441可以依据第二颜色的图像数据调制所述第一光中的第二颜色光产生第二颜色的投影光与非投影光,其中所述第二颜色的投影光可以被所述偏振分光模块引导至所述投影镜头480进行投影显示。
具体地,所述合光元件418对所述第一光中的第三颜色光与所述补充光中的第三颜色光有多种引导方式。以下主要以两种实施例作详细说明。
在一种实施例中,所述合光元件418可以包括第一区域与第二区域,所述第一区域反射所述第一光中的第三颜色光,所述第二区域透射所述第三颜色的补充光,且所述合光元件418周期性旋转,使得所述第一区域在所述第一时间段位于所述第二光源412发出的第三颜色的补充光所在的光路上,且所述第二区域在所述第二时间段位于所述第一光源经由所述分光元件413发出的第一光中的第三颜色光所在的光路上,使得所述合光元件418可以在时间上顺序提供第一光中的第三颜色光及所述补充光中的第三颜色光至所述第二空间光调制器442,使得所述第二空间光调制器442分时(即顺序)依据图像数据调制所述第一光中的第三颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光。
在另一种实施例中,所述合光元件418为偏振合光元件,所述第一光中的第三颜色光及所述补充光中的第三颜色光的偏振态正交,如所述第一光中的第三颜色光为具有第一偏振态的光或者所述第一光中的第三颜色光经由偏振元件(如设置于所述分光元件与所述合光元件的偏振转换元件)转换为具有第一偏振态的第三颜色光,所述具有第一偏振态的第三颜色光被所述合光元件418引导(如反射)至所述第二空间光调制器442;所述补充光中的第三颜色光为具有第二偏振态的光,即所述第二光源412直接发出具有第二偏振态的第三颜色光或者所述第二光源412包括激光器与偏振元件,所述激光器发出的第三颜色光经由所述偏振元件转换为具有第二偏振态的第三颜色光作为所述补充光,所述具有第二偏振态的第三颜色的补充光被所述合光元件418引导(如透射)至所述第二空间光调制器442。所述第二空间光调制器442依据图像数据调制所述具有第一偏振态的第三颜色光及所述具有第二偏振态的第三颜色的补充光,对应发出用来投影显示的具有第一偏振态的第三颜色的投影光及不用于投影显示的具有第二偏振态的第二颜色的非投影光至所述分光模块461。所述分光模块461将所述具有第一偏振态的第三颜色光引导至所述投影镜头470,并将所述具有第二偏振态的第三颜色光引导至所述光路模块462,所述光路模块可以包括多个引导元件463、464、465(如反射元件),所述多个引导元件463、464、465将所述具有第二偏振态的第三颜色光引导至所述光源装置的分光元件413或合光元件418(本实施例以合光元件418为例)。其中,所述合光元件418可以在时间上顺序提供第一光中的第三颜色光及所述补充光中的第三颜色光至所述第二空间光调制器442,使得所述第二空间光调制器442分时(即顺序)依据图像数据调制所述第一光中的第三颜色光及所述补充光中的第三颜色光;但是,在变更实施例中,所述合光元件418也可以在时间上是同时提供第一光中的第三颜色光及所述补充光中的第二颜色光至所述第二空间光调制器442,使得所述第二空间光调制器442同时依据图像数据调制所述第一光中的第三颜色光及所述补充光中的第三颜色光。

请参阅图9,图9是本发明第五实施方式的投影系统500结构示意图。所述投影系统500与第四实施方式的投影系统400基本相同,二者的主要差别在于:所述投影系统500的光回收模块包括第一回收模块560与第二回收模块580。所述第一回收模块560与第四实施方式中的光回收模块460相同。所述第二光回收模块580邻近所述第一空间光调制器541设置,所述第二光回收模块580包括偏振分光片581及引导元件582,所述偏振分光片581与第四实施方式的偏振分光片481相同,所述引导元件582接收所述偏振分光片581发出的具有第二偏振态的非投影光,并将所述具有第二偏振态的非投影光引导至所述光源装置(如所述分光元件513),以进一步提供到所述第一空间光调制器541进一步利用。本实施方式中,所述第一空间光调制器541出射的非投影光也可以进一步被回收利用,所述投影系统500的光利用率更高。
