Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for illuminating an electro-optical color display screen and in particular a three-color liquid crystal projector.
- the aim of this system is to improve the coiorimetric performance of a liquid crystal projector.
- the light emitted by these arc lamps must undergo chromatic separation so as to obtain different beams of different wavelength ranges.
- three beams in the green, blue and red are extracted from the beam emitted by the lamp.
- This chromatic separation can be done with dichroic mirrors as described in French patent n ° 92 15382 so as to obtain separate monochromatic beams each lighting up a liquid crystal screen. The light emitted by the various screens is then mixed so as to superimpose the images produced by these screens. Chromatic separation can also be carried out using a spatio-chromatic separation system which separates the different ranges of wavelengths in angularly different directions. We then have a single liquid crystal screen each image element (dot) of which has as many elementary display elements (pixels) as there are wavelength ranges. Typically, a dowry therefore has an image element for red, one for blue and one for green. French patent application n ⁇ 93 08470 describes an exemplary embodiment of such a system.
- each primary be suitably saturated, that is to say that the wavelengths which it contains constitute a primary color close to the TV standard.
- the energy level of each primary must be adapted. This is called the color balance.
- French patent application n ° 92 15382 describes a device in which a filter is provided making it possible to eliminate completely or almost completely (in proportions reaching or exceeding 84%) certain unwanted wavelengths having a polluting effect in the colorimetric sense on the saturation of a primary. For example, this involves eliminating with certain lamps a very intense wavelength close to 570 nm and corresponding to yellow.
- This device thus makes it possible to eliminate wavelengths detrimental to the purity of the primary wavelengths and therefore contributes to obtaining good saturation of these primaries.
- the elimination of certain wavelengths decreases the energy level of the primary band to which they belong.
- the energy level of certain primaries should be reduced compared to the energy level of other primaries (color balance) without eliminating wavelengths.
- the beam emitted by certain lamps it may be beneficial to reduce the light intensity of the wavelength of yellow to reduce the overall intensity of the green primary.
- the invention provides a solution to such a problem.
- the invention therefore relates to a system for illuminating an electrooptical color display screen comprising: - a multi-color light source;
- chromatic separation system receiving a multichrome light beam coming from the source and transmitting several light beams of illumination having ranges of different wavelengths and in different directions;
- each image or dot element having as many display elements (pixels) as there are light beams of illumination; characterized in that it comprises at least one chromatic modulation device located between the source and the display screen, this device being tuned to a particular wavelength and transmitting to the display screen a determined part of the light energy it receives at this wavelength.
- FIG. 1 a general diagram of a color display device comprising only one liquid crystal screen and a spatio-chromatic separation device;
- FIG. 2a and 2b an embodiment of the device of Figure 1;
- a color display system providing for angular color separation comprises, as shown in FIG. 1:
- a source S emitting a multichrome beam and preferably a beam whose composition of the different wavelengths provides a white color
- a chromatic separator RC receives the beam emitted by the source and separates different ranges of wavelengths each corresponding to a range of colors so as to transmit several beams in different directions. For example, it transmits three chromatic beams R, G and B corresponding respectively to red, green and blue;
- an LCD liquid crystal screen receives the different chromatic beams. Certain screen image elements are illuminated by the R beam, others by the V beam and others by the B beam.
- FIG. 2a represents an exemplary embodiment of the system of FIG. 1. This system comprises:
- a white light source S comprising an optical system C of the known art for collimating the light emitted by the lamp; - an RC chromatic separator element which angularly separates the three primary red, green, blue (R, G, B) from the source S in three chosen directions.
- This separator is optically recorded in a photosensitive material and then consists of phase microstructures (variations of indices or reliefs); - an array of MLC cylindrical micro-lenses arranged in front of the LCD screen (possibly directly on the LCD counter blade);
- the function of the RC separator angularly separates the three spectral components of the collimated lighting source. These three spectral bands are then focused along three parallel colored lines in the focal plane of each cylindrical lens.
- the beam V of green color is normal to the focal plane of the MLC lenses and the beams R and B (red and blue) are symmetrical with respect to this normal and make an angle of incidence ⁇ i. Consequently, by adapting on the one hand the angle of index ⁇ i of each spectral component on the cylindrical microlenses and on the other hand ia focal f of these microlenses one can simultaneously realize:
- the RC chromatic separator can be produced according to other principles such as the chromatic dispersion obtained with a prism. The RC separator is then a prism.
- the invention provides for achieving the color balance both in wavelength compositions and in light intensities of the different color ranges.
- the invention provides for modulating the light intensity of certain wavelengths.
- One or more suitably registered filters reflect or absorb all or a predetermined part of the light in certain wavelengths.
- a chromatic filter or modulator FC performing this function is placed between the source S and the spatio ⁇ chromatic separator RC.
- the chromatic modulator FC is placed between the spatio-chromatic separator and the LCD screen.
- FIG. 4 represents a detailed embodiment of the system of the invention. This system repeats the elements of the system of FIG. 2a. It further comprises one or more chromatic modulators FC1, FC2. Each modulator is designed to be transparent to all wavelengths except at a wavelength or a limited range of wavelengths around a central wavelength of which it only allows the transmission of a determined part. Energy.
- Each chromatic modulator FC1, FC2 is mobile in rotation around an axis x1, x2 which is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the light which it modulates. This thus makes it possible to move the central wavelength of the modulated range.
- a chromatic modulator FC1, FC2 can be produced in materials such as dichromated gelatin or photopolymers.
- the projection device of the invention therefore makes it possible, by the use of holographic components for the modulators FC1, FC2, to simply adjust the chromatic coordinates of the three primaries R, G, B and their respective intensities in a liquid crystal projector.
- the spatio-chromatic separator RC of FIG. 4 can also be produced according to holography techniques.
- a holographic component, in bichromated gelatin, can be recorded in such a way that receiving in a first direction an R + G + B beam, for example:
- the red, green, blue chromatic separation is carried out by a spatio-chromatic separator component, the spectrum of the lamp is locally spread over a surface corresponding to three contiguous pixels, thus constituting three red, green, blue pixels. Also in this configuration it is necessary to eliminate certain spectral bands. Spatial chromatic filtering is performed by the Black Matrix of the LCD, but the use of holographic modulator filters can prove useful for colorimetry:
- holographic filter "purple cut” can allow in a classic mono or tri LCD architecture to relax the constraints on the spectral width of the UV filter used with all metal halide lamps for example, this allowing a significant increase in its visible transmission (fewer dielectric layers required).
- the foregoing invention has been applied to a system comprising a spatio-chromatic separation device.
- the invention is also applicable to a system where the chromatic separation is done with colored filters.
