A projection device configured to provide multiple projection modes is provided. The projection device includes a housing module and a projection module. The housing module includes a display screen and multiple protective walls. The display screen includes a display curved surface. The projection module includes an optomechanical assembly and a light guide assembly.

An intersecting point of the first and second axes is positioned closer to the projection lens unit than a geometric barycenter of the mirror is.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of projection and display, and in particular, relate to a projection device. The projection device includes: a base, provided with a receiving chamber and a first opening, wherein the first opening is in communication with the receiving chamber; a projection unit, mounted in the receiving chamber, wherein a projection screen output by the projection unit is emitted out from the first opening; a light-transmissive strut, wherein one end of the light-transmissive strut is mounted on the base; a mounting plate, fixed to the other end of the light-transmissive strut; a first drive device, mounted on the mounting plate; a reflective mirror, mounted on the first drive device, wherein the reflective mirror is disposed opposite to the projection unit, the reflective mirror is configured to reflect the projection screen output by the projection unit, and the first drive device is configured to drive the reflective mirror to rotate to adjust an output direction of the projection screen. Accordingly, the projection screen reflected by the reflective mirror in the embodiments of the present disclosure may directly pass through the light-transmissive strut, thereby increasing the projection region of the projection screen.

An object of the present invention is to provide a projection apparatus capable of appropriately performing control relating to rotation of a projection lens. A projection apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a housing; a power supply; a control unit; and a projection lens attached to the housing, the projection lens having a holder, a detection unit that detects a rotation state of the holder, and a locking mechanism unit that brings rotation of the holder into a locked state or an unlocked state. The locking mechanism unit does not bring rotation of the holder into the locked state when a rotation state of the holder is other than a specific state. The specific state is a rotation state in which the locking mechanism unit is capable of bringing rotation of the holder into the locked state. When rotation of the holder is not brought into the locked state, the control unit disables an operation relating to the locked state or an operation of turning off the power supply.

A laser projection apparatus includes a laser source, an optical engine and a projection lens. The optical engine includes a light pipe, a lens assembly, a reflector, a prism assembly and a digital micromirror device. An optical axis of the illumination beam transmitted by the light pipe and the lens assembly is a first optical axis. An optical axis of an illumination beam reflected by the reflector to the prism assembly is a second optical axis. The first optical axis is perpendicular to the second optical axis, and both the first optical axis and the second optical axis are parallel to the beam receiving face of the digital micromirror device.

A method for displaying a modified phase mask on a spatial light modulator (SLM), including: modifying, by a processor, a phase mask by combining the phase mask with a virtual lens pattern, the virtual lens pattern having a focal length; displaying, by the SLM in communication with the processor, the modified phase mask on the SLM; and projecting, by a light source in communication with the processor, the light source through the SLM to form an intensity pattern at a distance from the SLM corresponding to the focal length of the virtual lens pattern, the intensity pattern being based on the phase mask.

A projector, including a body, a light source, a light valve, a projection lens, and a lens adjustment module, is provided. The light source and the light valve are disposed in the body, and the projection lens is movably disposed on the body. The lens adjustment module includes a driven structure connected to the projection lens, a guiding member and a rotating member connected to the guiding member. The guiding member is disposed on the body to be rotatable along an axis of rotation and has a closed ring guiding rail. The driven structure is slidably disposed at the closed ring guiding rail and is configured to move relative to the guiding member along a closed ring path defined by the closed ring guiding rail. A normal direction of a surface where the closed ring path is located is not parallel to the axis of rotation.

The disclosure provides a projection system and a gamma curve correction method. The projection system includes a projection target and a projection device. A test image is projected on the projection target. The projection device obtains a first gamma curve of the test image by receiving the test image projected on the projection target or sensing a light beam of the projected test image, and judges whether multiple difference values between the first gamma curve and a preset gamma curve is larger than a preset value. The first gamma curve is corrected to generate a second gamma curve when at least one of the difference values is larger than the preset value. The projection system and the gamma curve correction method of the disclosure provides an ideal gamma curve according to the output performance of the use situation.
