20230050692 · 2023-02-16 ·

A directivity backlight display device with reflector curvature assisted diffuser includes a light source module, a reflective narrow-angle diffuser, a concave reflector, and a backlit type display panel. The light source module projects a light. The reflective narrow-angle diffuser includes a concave surface or a flat surface served as a reflecting surface. The reflecting surface is provided with a plurality of micro curved mirrors laid out in an array. The light is reflected and diffused by the reflective narrow-angle diffuser and the concave reflector to provide a uniform directional light beam. A backlit type display panel is deployed to display an image. The uniform directional light beam penetrates the backlit type display panel to provide a directional image light beam, and then projects the directional image light beam to a projection area. With this arrangement, a reflective narrow-angle diffuser with a low concave curvature is deployed to achieve a high-directivity image projection.

A compact, catadioptric and athermal imaging spectrometer is disclosed. A telecentric light (1) incident from a slit (2) is folded or refracted by an object-side prism (3) to enter a plano-convex lens (4); after being refracted by the plano-convex lens (4) and a meniscus lens (5), and refracted and reflected by a thick catadioptric lens (6), said telecentric light is incident onto a convex grating (7) in the form of a convergent beam; and after said beam is diffracted, spectral division is implemented. The divergent beam is sequentially refracted and reflected by the thick catadioptric lens (6), and refracted by the meniscus lens (5) and the plano-convex lens (4) to enter an image-side prism (8). Said beam is folded or refracted and filtered, and imaged on a focal plane (10) to realize spectral imaging.
