It is. Even if the projection lens 16 is moved in this state, the principal ray (in this case, parallel to the optical axis) always passes through the center of the stop 16d, so that the ray is not blocked in the middle.

- the position of the projection lens 46 is moved in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis by the moving mechanism while the positions of the illumination optical system such as the condenser lens 43 and the DMD 44 are fixed to the 3D projector main body.
- the projection image 46 is moved to the position A as shown in FIG. 4A when the position of the projection image S is changed by sliding, the illumination light or the lens (concave mirror) of the illumination optical system is moved. Since it is fixed, it interferes as shown by the area I and does not hold.

Thereby, while functioning as a reflection film for infrared rays, reflection of visible light can be substantially prevented when the angle is smaller than a predetermined incident angle.
- the antireflection film applied to the internal reflection surface 15c in this way functions as a reflection film for the emitted infrared light, but is configured to increase the reflectance for the emitted infrared light, that is, It is preferable that the film has a performance that increases the reflectance with respect to the emitted infrared light. More specifically, the antireflection film is designed so that the film has a reflectivity frequency characteristic in which the reflectivity for infrared rays (here, a wavelength of 900 nm is assumed) is increased as shown by a graph 62 in FIG. May be configured.

- the image is recombined at 90 and emitted to the screen side via the TIR prism 15 and the projection lens 16. Therefore, unlike the 3D projector 1 in FIG. 1, the 3D projector 9 does not need to be provided with the color wheel 11. Other parts of the 3D projector 9 that are the same as those of the 3D projector 1 are not described.
- the internal reflection surface of the TIR prism in the case of emitting ultraviolet rays from the light emitting element.
- ultraviolet rays are reflected as shown in the graph 61 of FIG. 6 in which the frequency characteristic of the reflectance is illustrated for the glass with a normal visible light antireflection film. That is, in the configuration example of FIG. 1, the optical system as described with reference to FIG. 1 can be established only by adding a normal visible light antireflection film on the internal reflection surface 15c.
- the antireflection film applied to the internal reflection surface 15c functions as a reflection film for the emitted ultraviolet rays, but is configured to increase the reflectivity for the emitted ultraviolet rays. In other words, it is preferable that the film has a performance to increase the reflectance with respect to the emitted ultraviolet light.
- the antireflection film applied to the internal reflection surface 15c functions as a reflection film for the visible light emitted from the light emitting element, that is, only the wavelength band of the visible light emitted from the light emitting element. It is necessary to configure so as to employ an antireflection film that reflects. In such a configuration, there is a concern that light in that wavelength band in the image will not be projected on the screen S, but the wavelength band is kept extremely narrow (and visible light in a band with low frequency of use is used). By causing the light emitting element to emit light), the influence on the image can be reduced.
- light transmission such as infrared transmission in the present invention has been described on the premise that it is used for opening and closing an active shutter in active shutter glasses, but focus adjustment at the time of zooming in the projection lens 16, etc.
- the infrared ray or the like is used, or the infrared ray transmission or the like in the present invention is not used for opening / closing the active shutter, but only for other purposes such as focus adjustment. You can also.
- the infrared light emitting element 17 a light emitting diode can be adopted.
- the infrared light emitting element 17 may be a laser element. Since the numerical aperture (NA) of the laser element is extremely small, there is no influence of the opening of the projection lens 16 and it is possible to project efficiently.
- NA numerical aperture
- a light emitting diode or laser element can be adopted as the light emitting element.
- the half value angle of the infrared light emitting element 17 will be described.
- the projection type display apparatus has been described with reference to an apparatus that displays an image using a reflective mirror array element.
- an apparatus employing another optical method that does not use a mirror array element such as a liquid crystal projector. Even so, the same function can be achieved by adding the internal total reflection prism and adopting the arrangement of the light emitting elements as described above.
- a projection display device that does not use a mirror array element includes an internal total reflection prism in which two prisms are arranged to face each other and a projection lens, and projects light emitted from a light source from the projection lens through the internal total reflection prism. This is a device capable of displaying a three-dimensional image.
- a liquid crystal projector is taken as an example of a configuration not using a mirror array element, and will be described with reference to the configuration example of FIG. 1.
- the DMD 14 is removed, for example, a liquid crystal display from the surface of the TIR prism 15 where the DMD 14 is disposed. What is necessary is just to arrange
- the DMD 14 is removed from the configuration example of FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display element is provided in front of the TIR prism 15 (for example, between the condenser lens 13 and the TIR prism 15), and the surface shown on the DMD 14 side of the TIR prism 15 is totally reflected. You may do it.
- the light emitting element emits infrared rays from a surface different from the incident surface of the light emitted from the light source (the light source that has passed through the liquid crystal) and the exit surface to the projection lens 16 with respect to the TIR prism 15. It is preferable to arrange so that the light rays such as. However, light rays such as infrared rays may be incident from the exit surface to the projection lens 16 as in the configuration example of FIG.

Abstract
Description
しかしながら、画像表示装置が投射型である場合には、赤外線発光素子を有する赤外線送信部を装置本体に備えるようにし、映像を投射するスクリーンに赤外線送信部から赤外線を投射し、そこで反射した赤外線を用いて同期をとることが好ましい。このように反射を用いる理由としては、投射型表示装置では、視聴者がスクリーンの映像を鑑賞するのが前提であるため、スクリーン内から赤外線を発すると共にメガネの受光部を映像側に向けておくと最も効率的で利便性も高いこと、並びに、別付けの送信器をスクリーン近傍に設置するよりも低コストで済むことなどが挙げられる。
(1)赤外線送信部は装置本体の側面などに取り付けることになり、内部レイアウトやデザインに制限がある。
(2)スクリーンからの反射を利用するため、赤外線の指向性をスクリーン側に合わせるなど微妙な設定が必要となる。
(5)投射型表示装置にレンズシフト機能をもたせる場合は、投影画像とスクリーンの位置関係が調節可能なため、より広い方向に赤外線を向ける必要があるが、一方で高感度を保つために指向性をある程度保つ必要がある。そのためには、図10において3箇所の赤外線発光素子101L,101C,101Rで示したように、レンズシフトに対応する画像位置に投射できるような配置で、別途赤外線発光素子を設ける必要がある。
(6)赤外光出力が必要の無い一般的な光学系と比べて、プリズムやミラーなど半透明反射膜手段やそれを保持するための補助的な部品も含め、追加部品が必要となり、コストや装置サイズが上がってしまう。
(7)同じく上記追加部品を挿入する空間を確保するためにLCDのパネルから投射レンズまでの距離、すなわちバックフォーカスが長くなる。これにより、投射レンズ設計においてより強い正のパワーと負のパワーを必要とすることになるため、レンズ枚数が増加し、コストや装置サイズが上がってしまう。
(9)共通プラットフォームを使って3D対応と3D非対応の投射型表示装置を製造する場合、3D非対応の装置にも上記追加部品やレンズ枚数の多い投射レンズが必要となり余分なコストを背負うことになる。
