  • Publication number: 20180143519
    Abstract: The invention provides a projection apparatus and an illumination system. The projection apparatus includes an illumination system, a light valve, and a projection lens. The illumination system includes at least one laser light source, at least one light separating element, a wavelength conversion element, and a reflective element. The at least one laser light source is adapted to generate at least one laser beam, and the at least one laser beam is adapted to penetrate at least one first coating region of the light separating element. The wavelength conversion element is adapted to convert the laser beam from the light separating element into a converted beam. A second coating region of a reflective surface of the reflective element is adapted to reflect a portion of the laser beam from the wavelength conversion element, and the second coating region and the first coating region are adapted to reflect the converted beam. The portion of the laser beam and the converted beam constitute an illumination beam.

  • Patent number: 9977316
    Abstract: An illumination system includes a light integration rod and a light source module. The light integration rod has a light-in end, a light-out end opposite to the light-in end, and phosphor distributed between the light-in end and the light-out end. The light source module is configured to provide a laser beam to enter into the light integration rod through the light-in end thereof. The phosphor is used to convert the laser beam into a first color beam to form an illumination beam. The illumination beam then emits out from the light integration rod through the light-out end thereof. A projection apparatus using the aforementioned illumination system is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9746965
    Abstract: A light source device including a light source module and an adjusting mechanism is provided. The light source module includes a base, a first light source and at least two second light sources. The first light source is disposed on the base and adapted to emit an invisible light curtain, wherein the invisible light curtain ranges over a display plane. The second light sources are disposed on the base and adapted to emit a first visible light beam and a second visible light beam respectively, wherein the first visible light beam is parallel to the invisible light curtain and the second visible light beam is parallel to the invisible light curtain. The adjusting mechanism is disposed on the base and used to adjust relative positions of the base and the display plane. In addition, an adjusting method of the light source device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9400574
    Abstract: An interactive touch system includes a display device, a light source device and an invisible light detecting device. The display device is adapted to provide an image beam to a display surface. The light source device includes a light-emitting element and a light-guide element. The light-guide element has a conical surface and a cylindrical curved surface facing the conical surface. The curvature center of at least partial section of the cylindrical curved surface is not located on the central axis of the conical surface. The light-emitting element is adapted to emit an invisible light beam toward the conical surface, and the invisible light beam is reflected by the conical surface and the cylindrical curved surface to be diverged and range over the display surface. When an object moves to the display surface, the invisible light beam is reflected by the object to be detected by the invisible light detecting device.

  • Patent number: 9317137
    Abstract: A touch module, a projection system, and a touch method of the touch module are provided. The touch module includes a laser scanner device, a photodiode, an image capturing device, and a processing unit. The laser scanner device sequentially provides a touch region with a laser beam at a plurality of angles in a first period. The photodiode is configured for receiving a reflection beam from a touch point in the touch region. The image capturing device captures an image having another reflection beam from the touch point in a second period. The processing unit determines a first angle corresponding to the touch point according to the reflection beam from the touch point received by the photodiode, determines a second angle corresponding to another reflection beam captured by the image capturing device, and calculates location information of the touch point according to the first angle and the corresponding second angle.
