Projector and wavelength conversion device thereof

This application claims the priority benefit of Chinese patent application CN201611254214.7, filed on 2016 Dec. 30. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.

The invention relates to a wavelength conversion device, and more particularly to a wavelength conversion device used for a projector.

The frame of the conventional projector mainly includes an illumination system, a light valve and a projection lens. The illumination system can provide an illumination beam, the light valve can convert the illumination beam to an image beam, and the projection lens can project the image beam on a screen, so as to form an image on the screen. The illumination system can generate illumination beams with different colors, where its main principle is that the utilization of the good luminous efficiency of an exciting light source, such as light emitting diode (LED) or laser diode (LD) to excite phosphor powders on a phosphor wheel, thereby generating a monochromatic beam.

In the formation of the phosphor wheel, first, an adhesive layer is coated on the metal disc, and then glue mixed with phosphor powders is coated on the adhesive layer that is on the metal disc, so that the glue mixed with phosphor powders can adhere to the metal disc. The adhesive layer that is coated on the metal disc is for example an adhesive layer mixed with a high reflective material. The adhesive layer mixed with the high reflective material can reflect the laser beam that passes by the phosphor powders but not hit the phosphor powders back to the phosphor powders to achieve the chance to excite the phosphor powders, thereby increasing the wavelength conversion efficiency. In addition, a high reflective layer (e.g. mirror reflective material or white reflective material) is coated on the metal disc at first, and then the glue mixed with the phosphor powders is coated on the metal disc, so as to achieve the purpose to reflect the laser beam that passes by the phosphor powders back to the phosphor powders for exciting likewise.

However, the two kinds of the aforementioned structures of both phosphor wheels are restricted because the concentration of the phosphor powders in the phosphor glue is unable to increase more, so that using efficiency of the wavelength conversion is unable to increase, thereby affecting the whole luminous efficiency. Moreover, there is not any structure arranged at the lateral sides of the phosphor glue in the conventional phosphor wheel, so that the lateral sides of the excited phosphor glue leak a part of the light that is generated by exciting the phosphor glue, thereby influencing the whole luminous efficiency. The reason why the concentration of the phosphor powders in the phosphor glue is unable to increase is that the more the concentration of the phosphor powders is, the less the concentration of the glue is. For that reason, the bonding force between the phosphor glue and the metal disc decreases. When the phosphor wheel spins at high speed, the phosphor glue is easy to cause a risk of the separation between the phosphor glue and the metal disc due to wind shear and centrifugal force, so as to influence the reliability of the whole structure of the phosphor wheel. Therefore, people skilled in the art pay attention to how to solve the abovementioned problems indeed.

The following is a further description of the detailed structure of the wavelength conversion device 1 of the embodiment. Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 , FIG. 2 illustrates a plan view of a wavelength conversion device according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-sectional view along a section line A-A shown in FIG. 2 . FIG. 4 illustrates an enlarged view of an area Z shown in FIG. 3 . As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 , the wavelength conversion device 1 of the embodiment includes a substrate 11 , a first glue substance 12 , a wavelength conversion structure 13 , and a second glue substance 14 . The substrate 11 includes a first surface 111 , a second surface 112 , and an axis A. It is to be noted that the substrate 11 is a disk-shaped metal substrate in the present embodiment, but the invention is not limited thereto. The axis A of the substrate 11 is substantially the center of the disk-shaped metal substrate, and in other embodiment, the substrate 11 also may be a transparent substrate. The first glue substance 12 is disposed on the first surface 111 of the substrate 11 and surrounds the axis A of the substrate 11 . The wavelength conversion structure 13 disposed on the first glue substance 12 and surrounding the axis of the substrate 11 , which is in the extending direction perpendicular to the axis A of the first surface 111 . The first glue substance 12 is disposed between the wavelength conversion structure 13 and the first surface 111 of the substrate 11 . Specifically, the wavelength conversion structure 13 is attached to the substrate 11 by the first glue substance 12 . In the present embodiment, the wavelength conversion structure 13 is a phosphor powders sheet made by sintering, but the invention is not limited thereto. The wavelength conversion structure 13 includes a first bonding surface 131 , a first lateral surface 132 , and a second lateral surface 133 , where the first bonding surface 131 faces to the first glue substance 12 , and the first bonding surface 131 is connected between the first lateral surface 132 and the second lateral surface 133 . The first lateral surface 132 faces in the direction away from the axis A, whereas the second lateral surface 133 faces in the direction close to the axis A. The second glue substance 14 is connected to the first lateral surface 132 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 and surrounds the axis A of the substrate 11 . For example, the distance between the second lateral surface 133 and the axis A is less than the distance between the first lateral surface 132 and the axis A.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 , the first glue substance 12 of the wavelength conversion device 1 of the embodiment includes a second bonding surface 121 , a third lateral surface 122 , and a fourth lateral surface 123 . The second bonding surface 121 of the first glue substance 12 faces to the wavelength conversion structure 13 , and the second bonding surface 121 is connected between the third lateral surface 122 and the fourth lateral surface 123 . The third lateral surface 122 faces in the direction away from the axis A, whereas the fourth lateral surface 123 faces in the direction close to the axis A. For example, the distance between the fourth lateral surface 123 and the axis A is less than the distance between the third lateral surface 122 and the axis A. In the embodiment, the second glue substance 14 is not only connected to the first lateral surface 132 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 , but also connected to the third lateral surface 122 of the first glue substance 12 . That is, the second glue substance 14 simultaneously surrounds the first lateral surface 132 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 and the third lateral surface 122 of the first glue substance 12 , but the invention is not limited thereto. The whereabouts of forming the first glue substance 12 and the second glue substance 14 may be different depending on the different methods of coating the glue. For example, in one of the embodiments, the second glue substance 14 may be only connected to the first lateral surface 132 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 , but not connected to the third lateral surface 122 of the first glue substance 12 . In addition, in the embodiment, since the substrate 11 is the disk-shaped structure, the first glue substance 12 , the wavelength conversion structure 13 , and the second glue substance 14 are arranged in a concentric ring arrangement in a radial direction from the axis A of the substrate 11 .

Based on the above, since the first lateral surface 132 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 of the embodiment is connected to the second glue substance 14 , not only the exciting beam passing by the wavelength conversion structure 13 is reflected or scattered back to the wavelength conversion structure 13 by the first glue substance 12 to excite the phosphor powders, but also the light beam emitted from the first lateral surface 132 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 is reflected or scattered back to the wavelength conversion structure 13 by the second glue substance 14 , thereby effectively increasing the wavelength conversion efficiency. In the embodiment, the first glue substance 12 includes a first adhesive and a first reflective material, for example. The second glue substance 14 , for example, includes a second adhesive and a second reflective material. By the first glue substance 12 and the second glue substance 14 consisting of the adhesive and the reflective material, the reflective abilities of the first glue substance 12 and the second glue substance 14 can be improved effectively, so that more exciting beams passing by the wavelength conversion structure 13 can be reflected by the first glue substance 12 and the second glue 14 and thus return to the wavelength conversion structure 13 to perform the exciting, thereby increasing the wavelength conversion efficiency. In the embodiment, the first adhesive and the second adhesive are each silica gel, for example. The first reflective material and the second reflective material may each be such as TiO 2 or Al 2 O 3 , but the invention is not limited thereto. It is to be noted that the percentage by weight of the first reflective material in the first glue substance 12 is, for example, more than or equal to 50%, and less than or equal to 70%, but the invention is not limited thereto. The percentage by weight of the second reflective material in the second glue substance 14 is, for example, more than or equal to 40%, and less than or equal to 60%, but the invention is not limited thereto. The purpose of controlling the percentage by weight of the reflective material in the previous range can cause that the first glue substance 12 and the second glue substance 14 have not only good reflective ability, but also good adhesive force.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the wavelength conversion device 1 of the embodiment further includes a light-transmission component 15 , and the substrate 11 further has a through recess 113 . The through recess 113 extends from the first surface 111 to the second surface 112 of the substrate 11 . The light-transmission component 15 is disposed in the through recess 113 to form a light penetrating area R adjacent to the wavelength conversion structure 13 . In the embodiment, the wavelength conversion structure 13 is used to convert a part of the exciting beam L 1 to a color light beam with a special wavelength (depending on the phosphor powders with different colors for generating color light beams with different wavelengths). The rest part of the exciting beam L 1 is used to pass through the light penetrating area R. For example, the part of the exciting beam L 1 excited by the wavelength conversion structure 13 and the rest part of the exciting beam L 1 passing through the light penetrating area R consist of the illumination beam L 2 via a light-combination device (not shown) combing light. In addition, in the embodiment, the material of the light-transmission component 15 is such as glass, but in other embodiment, the material of the light-transmission component 15 may also be plastic. Moreover, a diffusion layer may be coated on the light-transmission component 15 to eliminate laser spot phenomenon. However, the invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the wavelength conversion device 1 of the embodiment further includes a drive motor 16 . In the embodiment, substrate 11 further has another through recess 114 , and the center point of the through recess 114 overlaps with the axis A of the substrate 11 . The drive motor 16 includes a shaft part 161 and a joint part 162 connected to each other. The drive motor 16 passes through the through recess 114 of the substrate 11 with the shaft part 161 , so that the joint part 162 of the drive motor 16 is connected to the second surface 112 of the substrate 11 . The drive motor 16 is used to drive the substrate 11 to rotate.

FIG. 6 illustrates an enlarged view of an area Z′ shown in FIG. 5 .

The wavelength conversion structure 13 is disposed between the second glue substance 14 and the third glue substance 17 . In addition, the third glue substance 17 is connected to the fourth lateral surface 123 of the first glue substance 12 . The first glue substance 12 , the second glue substance 14 , and the third glue substance 17 are arranged in a concentric ring arrangement in a radial direction from the axis A of the substrate 11 . Since the first lateral surface 132 and the second lateral surface 133 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 in the embodiment are connected to the second glue substance 14 and the third glue substance 17 respectively, not only the exciting beam passing by the wavelength conversion structure 13 is reflected or scattered back to the wavelength conversion structure 13 by the first glue substance 12 to excite the phosphor powders, but also the light beam emitted from the first lateral surface 132 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 is reflected or scattered back to the wavelength conversion structure 13 by the second glue substance 14 , and the light beam emitted from the second lateral surface 133 of the wavelength conversion structure 13 is reflected or scattered back to the wavelength conversion structure 13 by the third glue substance 17 , thereby effectively increasing the wavelength conversion efficiency.
