Illuminating system and method for improving asymmetric projection
First Claim
1. The system for improving asymmetric projection comprising:
- a light source producing a light beam to form a light path;
a projection lens which is disposed in the light path and projects an image onto a screen;
a light valve inserted in the light path between the light source and the projection lens, which selects and reflects the obliquely incident light beam to the projection lens or predetermined directions; and
at least one anamorphic surface unit placed in the light path between the light source and the light valve.

Abstract
An system and method for improving asymmetric projection comprising a light source producing a light beam to form a light path, a projection lens disposed in the light path, a light valve inserted in the light path between the light source and the projection lens, and at least one anamorphic surface unit placed in the light path between the light source and the light valve. The anamorphic surface unit offsets a distortion of a light spot resulted from obliquely incidence on the light valve, thus an asymmetriclight spot can be improved as a more symmetric one to increase illuminating collection efficiency and uniformity.

9. The method for improving asymmetric projection, comprising:
-
a light source for producing a light beam to form a light path;
a light valve for receiving the light beam with oblique incidence to generate a light spot with two asymmetric diagonals thereon; and
at least one anamorphic surface unit, in the light path between the light source and the light valve, having a curvature for offsetting two asymmetric diagonals of the light spot into a more normal rectangle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
