摘要
We have developed illumination optics for image projection systems. It realizes uniform illumination and suppression of speckle and diffraction noises by using a diffuser and integrator optics. By optimizing the diffusing angle of the diffuser, optical power loss was less than 10%. A proto type of a laser projector with a red wide-stripe semiconductor laser and green and blue second-harmonic generation lasers was realized by using the developed illumination optics and twisted nematic liquid-crystal panels. Still images from a personal computer and video images from a digital versatile disk (DVD) player were displayed with the system and a wide colour gamut and smooth images without diffraction noise nor speckle noise were confirmed.
