Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a projection display device according to the present invention, fig. 2 is a structural top view of an embodiment of a lamp source plate, a parabolic plano-convex lens module, a spherical biconvex lens and a liquid crystal display module according to the present invention, and fig. 3 is a structural side view of an embodiment of a lamp source plate, a parabolic plano-convex lens module, a spherical biconvex lens and a liquid crystal display module according to the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the projection display device 1 includes a lamp source board 10, a parabolic plano-convex lens module 11, a spherical biconvex lens 12, a liquid crystal display module 13 and at least one reflecting mirror 14. For convenience and clarity, a mirror 14 is exemplified herein. The lamp source board 10 has a plurality of light sources 100, the light sources 100 being for example, but not limited to, light emitting diodes. The parabolic plano-convex lens module 11 has a plurality of parabolic plano-convex lenses 110, wherein the planes of all the parabolic plano-convex lenses 110 face the light-emitting sides of all the light sources 100, respectively, and the paraboloids of the parabolic plano-convex lenses 110 face the spherical biconvex lenses 12. The spherical biconvex lens 12 and the lamp source plate 10 are located on opposite sides of the parabolic plano-convex lens module 11, respectively. The liquid crystal display module 13 and the parabolic plano-convex lens module 11 are respectively located on opposite sides of the spherical biconvex lens 12.
The light emitted from all the light sources 100 sequentially passes through all the parabolic plano-convex lenses 110 of the parabolic plano-convex lens module 11, the spherical biconvex lens 12 and the liquid crystal display module 13 to form image light. Because the reflecting mirror 14 is located in the optical path of the image light, the reflecting mirror 14 reflects the image light to a transparent substrate 2, thereby generating a virtual image. The transparent substrate 2 may be a windshield of an automobile, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The parabolic plano-convex lens module 11 and the spherical biconvex lens 12 are used for achieving high uniformity and high brightness display effect, and reducing the light emergent angle so as to prevent light from diffusing in the device, thereby reducing stray light.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the paraboloid-shaped plano-convex lens 110 are both parabolic curves, and the radii of curvature of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis are different, so that the paraboloid-shaped plano-convex lens 110 can achieve the light source expansion effect more than an axisymmetric lens. For example, the radii of curvature of the horizontal and vertical axes of the parabola of the parabolic plano-convex lens 110 may be, but are not limited to, 2.5 millimeters (mm) and 4 millimeters, respectively. The refractive index of the parabolic plano-convex lens 110 may be, but is not limited to, 1.56-1.58. The vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the spherical surface of the spherical lenticular lens 12 facing the liquid crystal display module 13 may be both spherical curves, the vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the spherical surface of the spherical lenticular lens 12 facing the liquid crystal display module 13 may have different radii of curvature, and the vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the spherical surface of the spherical lenticular lens 12 facing the parabolic plano-convex lens module 11 may be a spherical curve and a straight line, respectively, so as to achieve the light source expansion effect. The radii of curvature of the vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the spherical surface of the spherical lenticular lens 12 facing the liquid crystal display module 13 may be, but not limited to, 100 mm and 20 mm, respectively, and the radius of curvature of the vertical axis of the spherical surface of the spherical lenticular lens 12 facing the parabolic plano-convex lens module 11 may be, but not limited to, 100 mm. The refractive index of the spherical lenticular lens 12 may be, but is not limited to, 1.56 to 1.58. Specifically, the light source board 10 may further include a printed circuit board 101, and all the light sources 100 are disposed on the printed circuit board 101. In order to effectively distribute the light sources 100 in the screen, the light sources 100 are non-equally spaced on the printed circuit board 101.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a combined structure of a lamp panel, a parabolic plano-convex lens module, a hollow cylinder, a spherical biconvex lens, a fixing member, a diffusion film, a liquid crystal display module and a fixing clamp according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments of the present invention, the projection display apparatus 1 may further include a hollow column 15, a fixing member 16, a diffusion film 17 and a fixing clamp 18. The hollow column 15 has a first opening 150 and a second opening 151 opposite to each other, wherein the parabolic plano-convex lens module 11 is disposed in the hollow column 15, the printed circuit board 101 of the lamp panel 10 is disposed on the hollow column 15 to cover the first opening 150, and all the light sources 100 are disposed in the hollow column 15. The fixing member 16 has a third opening 160 penetrating therethrough, wherein the fixing member 16 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the spherical lenticular lens 12 is fixed to the first side of the fixing member 16, and the spherical lenticular lens 12 and the fixing member 16 are disposed in the hollow cylinder 15. The diffusion film 17 may have a microstructure exhibiting an elliptical shape. The diffusion film 17 is fixed to the second side of the fixing member 16, wherein the spherical lenticular lens 12 and the diffusion film 17 shield the third opening 160. The mounting clip 18 has a fourth opening 180 therethrough. The fixing clamp 18 is fixed on the hollow column 15 to clamp the liquid crystal display module 13 between the fixing clamp 18 and the diffusion film 17, and exposes the liquid crystal display module 13 through the fourth opening 180. The light emitted from the light source 100 sequentially passes through the spherical biconvex lens 12, the third opening 160, the second opening 151, the diffusion film 17, the liquid crystal display module 13 and the fourth opening 180 to form image light. If the top side a of the printed circuit board 101 is defined as a horizontal side and the side B is a vertical side, the spherical lenticular lens 12 and the liquid crystal display module 13 are also defined as a horizontal side and the side B ' is a vertical side because the spherical lenticular lens 12 and the liquid crystal display module 13 also have the top side a ' and the side B ' which are perpendicular to each other. In order to prevent sunlight from penetrating the transparent substrate 2 and directly irradiating the liquid crystal display module 13, the liquid crystal display module 13 may be inclined with respect to the printed circuit board 101 of the lamp panel 10. Specifically, the horizontal side of the lcd module 13 may be inclined at 3.06 degrees with respect to the horizontal side of the pcb 101, and the vertical side of the lcd module 13 may be inclined at 22 degrees with respect to the vertical side of the pcb 101 to avoid the defocus phenomenon. In order to match the optical path design of the liquid crystal display module 13, the spherical lenticular lens 12 is tilted with respect to the printed circuit board 101 of the lamp source board 10. Specifically, the horizontal side of the spherical lenticular lens 12 may be inclined by 1 degree with respect to the horizontal side of the printed circuit board 101, and the vertical side of the spherical lenticular lens 12 may be inclined by 2 degrees with respect to the vertical side of the printed circuit board 101.

As can be seen from fig. 6, the printed circuit board 101 is further away from the sun light than the liquid crystal display module 13, which is indicated by an arrow. The sides of the liquid crystal display module 13 have two ends, one of which is close to the sunlight and the other is far away from the sunlight, wherein the shortest distance between the end close to the sunlight and the printed circuit board 101 is designed to be larger than the shortest distance between the end far away from the sunlight and the printed circuit board 101, so as to prevent the sunlight from penetrating through the transparent substrate 2 and directly irradiating the liquid crystal display module 13.
