Optical path design of LED and GRIN lens projection system
The existing Digital Light Projection (DLP) systems
in which the components such as color wheel and relay lens are used
resulting in a complex projection system. Aiming at this defection
a new DLP projection system was designed
where the three-color LED were used as the illumination light source and refractive index lens were used to produce the parallel light. Compared with the conventional projection system
components such as the color wheel
the relay lens
the mirror could be saved. Besides
the structure of the optical system was simplified. The simulation results and ray tracing by the Tracepro software show that the light spot uniformity reaches 96.9%. The results indicate that optical path of the projection system is simplified
and uniformity of the spot is also improved. The design only need to select the appropriate projection lens
that it can eliminate the influence of extended LED on the projection spot.
