In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, however, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form. In this regard, the illustrated example embodiments are provided for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting of the present application. Therefore, the scope of the present application is not limited to the particular embodiments described above, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
Example 1
The transparent projection system comprises a projector 1, a first polaroid 2, a transparent projection screen 3 and a light modulation element, wherein the light modulation element is a second polaroid 4; wherein the angle between the first polarizer 2 and the second polarizer 4 can be adjusted at any time, and the included angle theta of the light transmission direction is more than or equal to 0 degree and less than 90 degrees. As can be seen from fig. 1, after the light beam exits from the projector 1, the light beam is converted into polarized light after encountering the second polarizer 4, the polarized light reaches the transparent projection screen 3, an included angle between the light beam direction exiting from the projector 1 and the transparent projection screen 3 is not necessarily vertical, and the projector 1 may be hung or placed on the ground to present a projection at a certain angle, or may be in a side projection manner. By means of the diffuse reflection or scattering effect of the transparent projection screen 3, the image presented on the projection screen 3 is clearly visible to the viewer on the side of the projector 1. Due to the transparency of the projection screen, a portion of the light will pass through the transparent projection screen 3 to reach the first polarizer 2.
According to the actual on-site light environment, by adjusting the included angle relationship between the transmission axes of the second polarizer 4 and the first polarizer 2, as shown in fig. 2, when the light intensity passing through the first polarizer 2 is lower than the ambient light intensity, we can see that the secondary imaging has no influence on human eyes. The technical effect of flexibly adjusting the transmission (the transmission axes of the second polarizer 4 and the first polarizer 2 are parallel, namely theta is equal to 0 degrees), the partial transmission (the included angle of the transmission axes of the second polarizer 4 and the first polarizer 2 is an acute angle, namely theta is less than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees) or the basic shielding (the included angle of the transmission axes of the second polarizer 4 and the first polarizer 2 is nearly vertical, namely theta is nearly 90 degrees) of the image positioned behind the transparent projection screen is realized. Because some other films (including but not limited to transparent projection screen substrates, scratch-resistant films, protective films, etc.) are often added in the projection system, but the adopted films are not completely polarization-maintaining (that is, the polarization state of polarized light passing through the films is often changed to some extent), the polarization direction of linearly polarized light passing through the films which are not completely polarization-maintaining is changed due to the non-polarization-maintaining characteristics of the films, and for the case of θ being 90 °, complete shielding is often achieved theoretically, but in the actual case, complete shielding is often not achieved when θ being 90 °, the application can flexibly adjust the transmission axis included angle θ between the second polarizer 4 and the first polarizer 2, so as to achieve flexible adjustment of transmission, partial transmission, or substantially complete shielding of an image located behind the transparent projection screen in the actual case.
The first polarizer 2 and the second polarizer 4 may be linear polarizers or circular polarizers. If the polarizer is a circular polarizer, the positional relationship between the first polarizer 2 and the second polarizer 4 may be any angle except for the opposite chirality; in the case of a linear polarizer, the positional relationship between the first polarizer 2 and the second polarizer 4 may be any angle other than the orthogonal transmission axes.
Example 2
Taking the structure of the transparent projection system capable of reducing secondary imaging in embodiment 1 as a reference, the method for reducing secondary imaging is mainly implemented by adjusting the included angle relationship between the transmission axes of the two polarizers. In practical applications, the first polarizer 2 is often attached to or sandwiched between transparent projection screens, and no effective angular adjustment is possible, so the angular adjustment is usually achieved by the second polarizer 4. There are various angle adjustment methods for the second polarizer 4, and this embodiment provides a method for adjusting the angle of the polarizer. As can be seen from fig. 3, a small snap ring 11 is additionally installed in front of the projector lens 10, then the second polarizer 4 is placed inside the buckle 12, the second polarizer 4 is fixed on the buckle 12 matched with the snap ring 11, and after the angle of the second polarizer 4 is adjusted, the second polarizer 4 is fixed by using a small fixing handle 13 on the edge.
Example 3
In order to reduce secondary imaging of the transparent projection screen, on the basis of the transparent projection system described in embodiment 1, another embodiment of a transparent projection system capable of reducing secondary imaging is further provided, in which the light modulation element is a liquid crystal light valve, and the liquid crystal light valve includes a first substrate, a first transparent conductive layer, a liquid crystal layer, a second transparent conductive layer, and a second substrate that are sequentially disposed along a side away from the projector 1, in this embodiment, the second polarizer 4 is located between the projector 1 and the liquid crystal light valve, and the second polarizer 4 may be fixed, for example, outside a lens of the projector 1, or may be attached to an outside of the first substrate of the liquid crystal light valve. As shown in fig. 4, in this structure: the transmission axis of the first polarizer 2 has a first polarization direction, light emitted by the projector 1 passes through the second polarizer 4 and then becomes linearly polarized light, the linearly polarized light then enters the liquid crystal light valve, according to different voltages applied to the liquid crystal light valve, because the liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal light valve has an optical rotation effect on the polarized light, the linearly polarized light rotates in the polarization direction in the liquid crystal light valve (the rotation angle and the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer have a direct relation), the polarization angle of light emitted from the liquid crystal light valve can be adjusted by applying voltages on two sides of the liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal light valve, the light has a second polarization direction after passing through the liquid crystal light valve, the included angle theta between the first polarization direction and the second polarization direction is freely adjusted within the range of theta being more than or equal to 0 degree and less than 90 degrees, and therefore, the transmission of images positioned behind the transparent screen, The flexible adjustment of partial transmission or basic shielding is realized by using the liquid crystal light valve to replace the second polaroid 4 without other complicated mechanical structures, the operation and control can be conveniently realized by applying different voltages to the liquid crystal light valve, the controllability is good, the operation and the control are more convenient and efficient, the unfavorable secondary imaging generated by the transparent projection system is reduced, and the light intensity of the back image of the transparent projection system can be adjusted according to the requirement
Example 4
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of a transparent projection system capable of reducing secondary imaging, as shown in fig. 5, the same parts as those in embodiment 3 are not repeated, but the difference is that in this embodiment, the light emitted by the projector 1 is linearly polarized light, and a second polarizer does not need to be disposed between the projector 1 and the liquid crystal light valve in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the linearly polarized light emitted by the projector 1 enters the liquid crystal light valve, and according to different voltages applied to the liquid crystal light valve, because the liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal light valve has an optical rotation effect on the polarized light, the linearly polarized light rotates in the polarization direction inside the liquid crystal light valve (the rotation angle and the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer have a direct relationship), so that the polarization angle of light emitted from the liquid crystal light valve can be adjusted by the voltages applied to both sides of the liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal light valve, the light has a second polarization direction after passing through the liquid crystal light valve, the included angle θ between the first polarization direction and the second polarization direction can be freely adjusted within the range of 0 ° to θ to 90 °, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of transmission, partial transmission or substantially complete shielding of an image behind a transparent projection screen, in this embodiment, the polarization direction of the polarized light is adjusted by applying the liquid crystal light valve, the liquid crystal light valve can be operated and controlled conveniently and quickly by applying different voltages to the liquid crystal light valve without other complicated mechanical structures, has good controllability and higher convenience and efficiency, reduces the unfavorable secondary imaging generated by the transparent projection system, and can adjust the light intensity of the back image of the transparent projection system according to the requirement.
To sum up, this application is through providing a transparent projection system that can reduce secondary imaging, including being used for showing image information's transparent projection screen 3 and being used for projecting image information projector 1 on the transparent projection screen 3, still including locating projector 1 with light modulation element between the transparent projection screen 3 and locating transparent projection screen 3 shows the first polaroid 2 of image information opposite side, the transmission axis of first polaroid 2 has first polarization direction, and light passes through have the second polarization direction behind the light modulation element, first polarization direction with the contained angle theta of second polarization direction is at the within range free adjustment that theta is less than or equal to 0 < 90.
