  • Patent number: 11543649
    Abstract: A wavelength conversion device includes a substrate, a reflective layer, a phosphor layer and a thermal conductive layer. The substrate has a surface. The reflective layer is disposed on the surface of the substrate. The phosphor layer is disposed on the reflective layer and has a conversion region configured to perform a wavelength conversion. The thermal conductive layer is disposed on the surface of the substrate and thermally directly connected to the conversion region for conducting a heat generated at the conversion region during the wavelength conversion. The thermal resistance of the reflective layer is high and causes heat in the conversion region to accumulate. By disposing the thermal conductive layer adjacent to a side of the phosphor layer, the thermal conductive layer is thermally directly connected to the conversion region, so that the heat generated at the conversion region during the wavelength conversion is efficiently dissipated.

  • Patent number: 11506965
    Abstract: An illumination system providing an illumination light beam is provided. The excitation light beam passes beside a central region from a first side of the wavelength conversion wheel and then exits from a second side and is transmitted to the first mirror. The first mirror reflects the excitation light beam to the central region on the second side. A non-conversion reflection region of the wavelength conversion wheel reflects the excitation light beam, or a wavelength conversion reflection region of the wavelength conversion wheel converts the excitation light beam into a converted light beam and reflects the converted light beam. The excitation light beam or the converted light beam that is reflected is transmitted to the light homogenizing element. The light homogenizing element homogenizes the excitation light beam and the converted light beam to form the illumination light beam. A projection device is proposed, too.
