  • Patent number: 11822052
    Abstract: A colour wheel assembly, a light source system provided with the same, and a projection device are provided, a boron nitride coating being arranged on the side of the colour wheel assembly corresponding to a red fluorescent area and the other side being provided with glass powder, and the two sides of a non-red fluorescent area both being provided with a glass powder coating layer. By means of arranging boron nitride material in a position corresponding to a red fluorescent area, as the boron nitride material has good thermal conductivity relative to the glass powder and the crystal structure of the boron nitride is a layered structure, having the effect of effectively blocking light and thereby further reducing the excitation light incident on the red fluorescent powder, attenuation of the red fluorescence under the direct excitation of strong excitation light can be effectively prevented.

  • Patent number: 11732860
    Abstract: With a simple configuration, a clear illumination area with suppressed blurring is formed, and a form such as position, shape, and size thereof is changed. Divergent light from a point light source is shaped by a collimating optical system and emitted to a hologram element. Since the point light source is arranged at a front focal position of the collimating optical system, the light emitted from the collimating optical system is emitted to the hologram element as parallel light, and diffracted light therefrom forms an illumination area at a predetermined position on an illumination target surface. A light scanning part rotating about a predetermined rotation axis is arranged between the point light source and the collimating optical system, and light incident on the collimating optical system is scanned. By this scanning, an incident angle of the parallel light incident on the hologram element changes, and the illumination area changes.
