Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber scanning imaging, in particular to an optical fiber and a scanning light imaging display device.
Background
The structure of the scanning light imaging display device used for projection at present is shown in fig. 1. The part of the optical fiber beyond the actuator forms an optical fiber cantilever, the optical fiber cantilever is driven by the actuator to perform plane scanning, and a scanning track of the optical fiber cantilever forms a curved surface (spiral scanning corresponds to a spherical surface, and grid scanning corresponds to a cylindrical surface) right opposite to the actuator in the scanning process. Correspondingly, the projection picture is projected on the right opposite side of the actuator.
When large-size screen projection is performed, multiple scanners are often required to perform screen splicing, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, a first projection screen 201 is projected by a first scanner 101, a second projection screen 202 is projected by a second scanner 101, and a third projection screen 203 is projected by a third scanner 103.
The problems are that: limited by the parallel arrangement of the fiber optic cantilevers and actuators, a picture can only be projected on the directly opposite side of the actuators, and cannot be imaged on both sides of the directly opposite side (i.e., left-opposite and right-opposite). In certain product applications (such as projection keyboards, products requiring oblique projection), it may be necessary to tilt the entire scanning light imaging display device or to add reflective elements to direct the light beam to the desired projection surface, but both of these approaches result in a certain amount of wasted space. For another example, in image stitching, a certain gap needs to be maintained between the scanners, and there are generally two arrangement methods, namely parallel arrangement (as shown in fig. 1) and divergent arrangement (as shown in fig. 2), but both of these two arrangement methods waste space.
The invention is used for enabling the scanning light imaging display device to have more projection angles so as to improve the utilization rate of the scanning light imaging display device to the space.

Each of the outer and inner electrodes 412 and 413 of the piezoelectric material tube 411 is connected to an external driving circuit to apply an alternating electric field to the piezoelectric material tube 411 through each pair of the mating outer and inner electrodes 412 and 413. The piezoelectric material tubes 411 are polarized along the radial direction, and each pair of outer electrodes 412 and inner electrodes 413 corresponding to the outer electrodes 412 and inner electrodes 413 which are symmetrical about the axial line of the piezoelectric material tubes 411 are driven to expand and contract in opposite directions at the same moment, that is, when one outer electrode 412 and one inner electrode 413 in each pair of outer electrodes 412 drive the piezoelectric material tube 411 in the range to expand, the other outer electrode 412 and the inner electrode 413 thereof drive the piezoelectric material tube 411 in the range to synchronously shorten; and vice versa.

When the outer surface of the piezoelectric material tube 411 is provided with n pairs of outer electrodes 412 that are symmetrical about the axis of the piezoelectric material tube 411, the free end of the piezoelectric material tube 411 may vibrate in n directions perpendicular to the axis with respect to the fixed end. As a preferred embodiment of such an embodiment, n is 2, and the two vibration directions are perpendicular to each other, so that the fiber cantilever can perform spiral scanning under the driving of the piezoelectric actuator.

When the surface of the base 421 is provided with n first piezoelectric sheets 422 that are not symmetrical with respect to the center of the base 421, the free end of the base 421 may vibrate in n directions perpendicular to the axis line with respect to the fixed end. As a preferred embodiment of such an embodiment, n is 2, and the two vibration directions are perpendicular to each other, so that the fiber optic cantilever can perform spiral scanning under the driving of the piezoelectric actuator.
The first piezoelectric sheet 422 includes a sheet of piezoelectric material, and a surface of the sheet of piezoelectric material contacting the base 421 and a surface opposite to the surface are both provided with electrodes, and the sheet of piezoelectric material is polarized in a direction perpendicular to the two surfaces, that is, the sheet of piezoelectric material is polarized in a thickness direction.
The cross section of the substrate 421 can be any closed figure formed by straight lines and/or curved lines; for example, the cross section of the substrate 421 may be square, circular, or oval.

The motion trajectory of the free end of the second actuator 42 with respect to the fixed end of the first actuator 41 is the composite of the vibration trajectories of the first actuator 41 and the second actuator 42. As a preferred embodiment of such an embodiment, the free end of the first actuating part 41 vibrates in one direction perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the fixed end thereof, the free end of the second actuating part 42 vibrates in one direction perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the fixed end thereof, and the two vibration directions are perpendicular to each other, so that the fiber cantilever can make lissajous-type scanning or grid-type scanning under the drive of the piezoelectric actuator. The natural frequency of the second actuator 42 is much greater than that of the first actuator 411 to satisfy the requirement of the grid scanning.
The first and second actuating portions 41 and 42 may be bimorph actuators, piezoelectric material tube actuators, or piezoelectric sheet-driven actuators.
As shown in fig. 11, the bimorph actuator includes a middle spacer 431 extending in a first direction, one side of the middle spacer 431 is provided with a first piezoelectric material piece 432 parallel to the middle spacer 431, the other side of the middle spacer 431 is provided with a second piezoelectric material piece 433 parallel to the middle spacer 431, each of the first piezoelectric material piece 432 and the second piezoelectric material piece 433 has two first surfaces parallel to the middle spacer 431, and the first surfaces of the first piezoelectric material piece 432 and the second piezoelectric material piece 433 are both provided with a layer of electrodes 434.

Since one end of the first and second actuating portions 41 and 42 is a fixed end, the synchronous reverse expansion and contraction of the first and second piezoelectric material pieces 432 and 433 will drive the free end of the actuating portion to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the middle spacer 431 relative to the fixed end thereof.
As shown in fig. 8, the piezoelectric tube actuator includes a piezoelectric tube 411, wherein at least two pairs of outer electrodes 412 are disposed on an outer surface of the piezoelectric tube 411, and are symmetrical with respect to an axial center of the piezoelectric tube 411, and an inner electrode 413 is disposed on an inner surface of the piezoelectric tube 411 and is matched with the outer electrodes 412.

The piezoelectric material tubes 411 are polarized along the radial direction, each pair of outer electrodes 412 and corresponding inner electrodes 413 which are symmetrical about the axial line of the piezoelectric material tubes 411 drive the piezoelectric material tubes 411 to expand and contract in opposite directions at the same time, namely when one outer electrode 412 and one inner electrode 413 in each pair of outer electrodes 412 drive the piezoelectric material tubes 411 located in the range to expand, the other outer electrode 412 and the other inner electrode 413 drive the piezoelectric material tubes 411 located in the range to synchronously contract; and vice versa. When one end of the piezoelectric material tube 411 is fixed, the other end of the piezoelectric material tube 411 is a free end, and the synchronous extension and contraction causes the free end of the piezoelectric material tube 411 to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the axis relative to the fixed end. When the outer surface of the piezoelectric material tube 411 is provided with n pairs of outer electrodes 412 that are symmetrical about the axis of the piezoelectric material tube 411, the free end of the piezoelectric material tube 411 may vibrate in n directions perpendicular to the axis with respect to the fixed end. As a preferred embodiment of such an embodiment, n is 1 or 2, and when n is 2, one pair of the external electrodes 412 and the corresponding internal electrodes 413 which are symmetric about the axis of the piezoelectric material tube 411 drives the free end of the piezoelectric material tube 411 to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the axis with respect to the fixed end thereof, and the other pair of the external electrodes 412 and the corresponding internal electrodes 413 which are symmetric about the axis of the piezoelectric material tube 411 drives the free end of the piezoelectric material tube 411 to vibrate in another direction perpendicular to the axis, so that the piezoelectric material tube actuator has a correction function, and the final vibration direction thereof can be freely adjusted to overcome the distortion of the scanning track caused by the errors in the mounting, processing and other steps.
As shown in fig. 9, the piezoelectric sheet driving actuator includes a base 421 having an axial direction as a first direction, at least one first piezoelectric sheet 422 extending and contracting along the first direction is attached to a surface of the base 421 at intervals along a circumferential direction, when at least two first piezoelectric sheets 422 are attached to the surface of the base 421 at intervals along the circumferential direction, any two first piezoelectric sheets 422 may or may not be symmetric with respect to a center of the base 421, two ends of the base 421 along the first direction are a fixed end and a free end, respectively, and the extension and contraction of the first piezoelectric sheets 422 drive the free end of the base 421 to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the fixed end. When the two first piezoelectric sheets 422 are symmetric about the center of the base 421, the expansion and contraction directions of the two first piezoelectric sheets 422 symmetric about the center of the base 421 at any time are opposite, so that the two first piezoelectric sheets 422 drive the base 421 to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the first direction; the first piezoelectric patches 422, which are not symmetric about the center of the base 421, each drive the base 421 to vibrate in a corresponding direction perpendicular to the first direction. The surface of the base 421 may be provided with only one first piezoelectric sheet 422 or only two first piezoelectric sheets 422 with respect to the center of the base 421, so that the free end of the base 421 may vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the first direction; at least two first piezoelectric sheets 422 which are not symmetrical with respect to the center of the base 421 may be provided, so that the free end of the base 421 may vibrate in a plurality of directions perpendicular to the first direction, and the piezoelectric sheet driving actuator may have a correction function, and the final vibration direction thereof may be freely adjusted to overcome distortion of a scanning track due to errors in mounting, machining, and the like.
The first piezoelectric sheet 422 includes a sheet of piezoelectric material, and a surface of the sheet of piezoelectric material contacting the base 421 and a surface opposite to the surface are both provided with electrodes, and the sheet of piezoelectric material is polarized in a direction perpendicular to the two surfaces, that is, the sheet of piezoelectric material is polarized in a thickness direction.
