The signal processor increases grayscale values of pixels of the image data. The optical relay system provides illumination light to the DMD for modulating to obtain projection light required for a projection image. The adjusting member reduces the luminous flux of the illumination light provided to the DMD when the grayscale values of the pixels of the image data are increased. A reduction ratio of the luminous flux of the illumination light matches an increase ratio of the grayscale values of the image data. The DMD modulates the adjusted illumination light according to the image data with increased grayscale values to generate the projection light required for the projection image.

The projection reflective layer (12) selectively reflects the projected light. The transmission light-absorbing layer (13) comprises light-absorbing material particles, and the distribution of the light-absorbing material particles in the transmission light-absorbing layer (13) is set according to the distribution of the Fresnel loss of the projected light on the surface of the screen, such that the light transmittance of the transmission light-absorbing layer (13) is higher in the region where the Fresnel loss is larger. Further disclosed is a projection system comprising the screen. The screen and the projection system have high contrast and high brightness uniformity.

Abstract

A light source system includes an excitation light unit, a spectral filter unit, a scattering unit, and an excited-light unit. The excitation light unit is configured to emit excitation light. In an embodiment, the spectral filter unit reflects a portion of the excitation light to the scattering unit, the scattering unit scatters the same to generate a first light and a second light, and the spectral filter unit transmits the second light. The spectral filter unit also transmits another part of the excitation light to the excited-light unit, the excited-light unit emits excited light under the illumination thereof, and the spectral filter unit reflects the excited light, so that the spectral filter unit merges and emits the transmitted second light and the reflected excited light. The excitation light is thus split into two paths at the spectral filter unit, and finally emits light by combining excitation light and excited light.
