Technical Field
The invention relates to a display device, and more particularly to a projection device, a light source system thereof and a projection method thereof.
Background
In recent years, projection apparatuses mainly including solid-state light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (laser diodes) have been in the market. Since the laser diode has a light emitting efficiency higher than about 20% compared to the light emitting diode, in order to break through the light source limitation of the light emitting diode, a pure color light source for generating a projector by exciting the phosphor with a laser light source is gradually developed. In addition, the laser projection device can use laser light source to excite the fluorescent powder to emit light, and can also directly use laser as the projector illumination light source, and has the advantage of adjusting the number of light sources according to the brightness requirement, so as to meet the requirements of projectors with different brightness.
Generally, most Laser projectors control Laser light source modules (Laser modules) by connecting all Laser diodes (Laser diodes) in the Laser light source modules in parallel to uniformly control the on and off of the Laser light source modules, so that when the service life of the Laser light source modules is over, the whole group of Laser light source modules needs to be replaced. For example, if the lifetime of a laser light source module is 10000 hours, the light source needs to be replaced after the laser projector is used for 10000 hours, but the projector is often installed on the ceiling, so the replacement of the light source is inconvenient.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a projection method of a projection apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention. In the above embodiments, the projection method of the projection apparatus may include at least the following steps. First, the light emitting unit of the control portion supplies a light beam as a first light beam (step S402). Then, whether the characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches a predetermined value is detected (step S404), for example, whether the characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the predetermined value is determined according to a voltage or current feedback signal from the light emitting unit providing the light beam. If the characteristic parameter of the light-emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the predetermined value, for example, when the current flowing through the light-emitting unit is greater than the predetermined current value, it can represent that the light intensity provided by the light-emitting unit still meets the projection requirement, and at this time, the step S404 may be returned to continue to detect whether the characteristic parameter of the light-emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the predetermined value. If the characteristic parameters of the light-emitting units providing the light beams do not reach the preset value, the light-emitting units providing the light beams are disabled, the rest light-emitting units are controlled to provide the standby light beams as the first light beams (step S406), and then part of the first light beams are converted into the second light beams (step S408), wherein the light spots generated by the light combination device when the original light beams are incident and the light spots generated by the light combination device when the standby light beams are incident have the same number and position. Then, the second light beam and the first light beam without wavelength conversion are combined to generate an illumination light beam (step S410), the illumination light beam is converted into an image light beam (step S412), and finally the image light beam is converted into a projection light beam (step S414). Thus, the prepared light-emitting unit in the laser light source can prolong the period time for replacing the laser light source, reduce the frequency for replacing the laser light source and improve the use convenience of the projection device.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a projection method of a projection apparatus according to another embodiment of the invention. The difference between the projection method of the present embodiment and the projection method of the embodiment shown in fig. 4 is that in the present embodiment, when it is detected that the characteristic parameter of the light-emitting unit providing the light beam does not reach the preset value, the projection apparatus can be controlled to project the display light source selection interface (step S502) to remind the user that the light-emitting unit has reached the service life and to allow the user to select the light-emitting unit providing the light beam. Then, the light-emitting units providing the light beams are disabled according to the light source selection instruction corresponding to the user selection operation, and the rest of the light-emitting units are controlled to provide the standby light beams as the first light beams (step S504), and then the steps S408-S414 are executed, so that the control of the light source system is more flexible.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a projection method of a projection apparatus according to another embodiment of the invention. The difference between the projection method of this embodiment and the projection method of the embodiment in fig. 4 is that the laser light source includes a first light source module and a second light source module, and the first light source module includes a plurality of first light emitting units, and the second light source module includes a plurality of second light emitting units. In the present embodiment, a first light emitting unit in a portion of the first light source module and a second light emitting unit in a portion of the second light source module are enabled to provide a light beam as a first light beam (step S602), and then whether a characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches a predetermined value is detected (step S404), if the characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the predetermined value, the step S404 is returned to continue to detect whether the characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the predetermined value. If the characteristic parameters of the light-emitting units providing the light beams do not reach the preset value, the first light-emitting units and the second light-emitting units providing the light beams are disabled, and the rest of the first light-emitting units and the rest of the second light-emitting units are controlled to provide the standby light beams as the first light beams (step S604), and then the steps S408 to S414 are executed.
Fig. 7 is a flowchart of a projection method of a projection apparatus according to another embodiment of the invention. The difference between the projection method of the present embodiment and the projection method of the embodiment in fig. 6 is that in the present embodiment, all light emitting units (first light emitting units) in the first light source module are first enabled to provide light beams as first light beams (step S702). Then, whether the characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the preset value is detected (step S404), and if the characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the preset value, the step S404 is returned to continue to detect whether the characteristic parameter of the light emitting unit providing the light beam reaches the preset value. If the characteristic parameters of the light-emitting units providing the light beams do not reach the preset values, the first light-emitting unit providing the light beams is disabled, all the light-emitting units (second light-emitting units) in the second light source module are enabled to provide the standby light beams as the first light beams (step S704), and then the steps S408 to S414 are executed.
