LIGHT SOURCE APPARATUS AND PROJECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111209 titled 'LIGHT SOURCE APPARATUS AND PROJECTOR

Simplified Explanation

The light source apparatus described in the patent application includes a first light source section that outputs light with two polarized components, a second light source section, a wavelength converter, a light combiner, and a filter. The light combiner reflects one polarized component and transmits the other, while the filter attenuates light of a specific wavelength band.

  • First light source section outputs light with two polarized components
  • Second light source section outputs light
  • Wavelength converter converts light from first source
  • Light combiner combines all three lights
  • Filter attenuates light of specific wavelength band

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be used in various fields such as lighting, display technologies, and optical communications.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently combining and manipulating light from different sources with specific polarizations and wavelengths.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved light manipulation, enhanced efficiency, and potential cost savings in various applications.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercialized in industries such as lighting design, display manufacturing, and telecommunications under the title "Innovative Light Source Apparatus for Enhanced Efficiency."

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of filters and combiners in optical systems to manipulate light sources with different characteristics.

Unanswered Questions

How does the wavelength converter work in converting the light from the first source?

The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific mechanism of the wavelength converter in converting light from the first source into the third light.

What materials are used in the movable filter and how does it attenuate light of the specific wavelength band?

The patent application does not specify the materials used in the movable filter or the exact method by which it attenuates light of the specific wavelength band.


Original Abstract Submitted

a light source apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a first light source section that outputs first light containing a first polarized component and a second polarized component, a second light source section that outputs second light, a wavelength converter that converts the first light into third light, a light combiner that combines the first light, the second light, and the third light, and a filter that attenuates light of the third wavelength band. the light combiner reflects the first polarized component and transmits the second polarized component to cause one of he first polarized component and the second polarized component to exit toward the wavelength converter, and transmits the first light and the second light or the third light and reflects the third light or the first light and the second light. the filter is movable.
