Scanning-type projection device

摘要

A scanning-type projection device is provided with an emitted-light-intensity control unit for controlling the light intensity of a laser light emitted by a laser light source unit, a polarization direction control unit for controlling the polarization direction of the laser light, a scanning unit for scanning the laser light and generating a display image, and a divergence unit on which the laser light scanned by the scanning unit is incident. The emitted-light-intensity control unit has a polarization control element for controlling the polarization state of the laser light, and a polarizing plate on which the laser light emitted from the polarization control element is incident, and the polarization direction control unit adjusts the polarization direction of display light incident on a projection surface by controlling the polarization direction of the laser light emitted by the emitted-light-intensity control unit.

1. A scanning-type projection device, which emits a display light to a projection surface and projects a display image expressed by the display light as a virtual image on the projection surface when the display light is reflected in the projection surface, the scanning-type projection device comprising:
a laser light source that emits a laser light; an emitted-light-intensity control unit that is located on the optical path of the laser light which is emitted from the laser light source, and that controls light intensity of the laser light which is emitted from the laser light source; a polarization direction control unit that is located on the optical path of the laser light which is emitted from the laser light source, and that controls a polarization direction of the laser light which is emitted from the laser light source; a scanning unit that scans the laser light which is emitted from the laser light source, and that generates the display image; and a microlens array to which the laser light scanned by the scanning unit is incident, and including a plurality of microlenses periodically arranged at a first pitch in a horizontal direction and a second pitch in vertical direction, where the first pitch is larger than the second pitch, and wherein the emitted-light-intensity control unit includes a polarization control element which controls a polarization state of the laser light, and a polarizing plate into which the laser light emitted from the polarization control element is incident, and wherein the polarization direction control unit is configured to adjust the polarization direction of the display light to the horizontal direction of the microlens array, which is incident into the projection surface, by controlling the polarization direction of the laser light which is emitted by the emitted-light-intensity control unit.
