Figure 3 shows that first lamp control circuit 213 of the utility model one embodiment and the circuit diagram of second lamp control circuit 217.Merging is with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, and first lamp control circuit 213 and second lamp control circuit 217 comprise NAND gate NA, N type bipolar transistor T, resistance R 1 and R2 respectively, and capacitor C.Wherein, in first lamp control circuit 213, two inputs of NAND gate NA are in order to the difference receiving system control signal LCS and the first lamp enable signal L1_En, and the output of NAND gate NA is in order to send the first lamp drive signal SCI_1.The base stage of N type bipolar transistor T is kept signal L1_K in order to receive first lamp, and the emitter-base bandgap grading of N type bipolar transistor T is coupled to an earthing potential GND, and the collection utmost point of N type bipolar transistor T is coupled to the output of NAND gate NA.First end of resistance R 1 is coupled to a system voltage V

Based on above-mentioned, Fig. 4~Fig. 7 is depicted as the flow chart of many lamps ignition method of the utility model one embodiment respectively.Merging is with reference to Fig. 2~Fig. 7, at first, in step S401, to keep the default value of signal L2_K be that the default value of logic low, system status signal LCS is a logic high to the default value (default value) of supposing the first lamp enable signal L1_En and the second lamp enable signal L2_En for logic low, first lamp are kept signal L1_K and second lamp, and allow the number of times Cnt that lights a lamp again for example to can be 3 times.
Then, as described in step S402, when digital optical processing projector was started shooting, system processing unit 209 can go to read the content that is embedded in the volatile storage M in the system processing unit 209 earlier.By content that previous embodiment disclosed as can be known, whether nonvolatile memory M is lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown in order to write down first lamp 201 and second lamp 203.At this, suppose that first lamp 201 is lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, and the words (being single lamp projection) that second lamp 203 is not lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, then can move towards step S403, to light the flow process of first lamp 201 separately in the judged result of step S402.
In addition, suppose that first lamp 201 is not lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, and the words (being single lamp projection) that second lamp 203 is lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, then can move towards step S404, to light the flow process of second lamp 203 separately in the judged result of step S402.Moreover, suppose the words (promptly two lamp projection) that first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 are all lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, then can move towards step S405, to light the flow process of first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 simultaneously in the judged result of step S402.
In the present embodiment, when the judged result of step S402 is moved towards step S403 when lighting the flow process of first lamp 201 separately, with reference to Fig. 5.The flow process of lighting first lamp 201 separately comprises: system processing unit 209 can send the first lamp enable signal L1_En (step S501) of logic high earlier, then, resupplies system control unit 211 (being TI DLP ASIC) power supply (step S502).Thus, after errorless and colour wheel (not shown) stabilization of speed, system control unit 211 can send the system control signal LCS of logic highs to first lamp control circuit 213 (step S503) to system control unit 211 in self-examination.
Because the system control signal LCS and the first lamp enable signal L1_En are all logic high, so the first low lamp drive signal SCI_1 of output meeting output logic of the NAND gate NA in first lamp control circuit 213 is to provide a continuous current loop to first lamp driver 215.Thus, first lamp driver 215 can begin to light first lamp 201.Light in the process of first lamp 201 at first lamp driver 215, system processing unit 209 can judge whether the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 is transmitted is logic low (step S504).
When system processing unit 209 is judged the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted and is logic low (successfully lighting first lamp 201), the system status signal LST that system processing unit 209 can send logic low earlier makes system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC give first lamp control circuit 213 (step S506) to system control unit 211 (step S505).Thus, first lamp 201 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S507) and successfully be lighted (step S508).Wherein, when first lamp 201 enters the external sync pattern, represent its polarity (frequency) and sense of current Be Controlled, therefore throw image and just can not produce flicker.
On the other hand, to judge the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted non-during for logic low (successfully not lighting first lamp 201) when system processing unit 209, then system processing unit 209 can send the system status signal LST of logic high to system control unit 211, so that the system control signal LCS that system control unit 211 resends logic high gives first lamp control circuit 213 in a preset times (that is in step S401 Cnt defined 3 times), and continue to judge whether the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 is transmitted transfers logic low (step S504 to, S509 and S510).
In case when system processing unit 209 is judged the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted transfer logic low in pre-determined number (successfully lighting first lamp 201), the system status signal LST that system processing unit 209 can send logic low earlier is to system control unit 211 (step S505), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC give first lamp control circuit 213 (step S506).Thus, first lamp 201 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S507) and successfully be lighted (step S508).
Yet, judge when system processing unit 209 and (to repeat 3 times and all can't successfully light first lamp 201 when the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted does not transfer logic low in pre-determined number, represent that first lamp 201 may damage), then system processing unit 209 can go to revise the content (step S511) of the nonvolatile memory M of embedded system processing unit 209, and finishes to light the flow process (step S512) of first lamp 201.Wherein, the content that system processing unit 209 is revised the nonvolatile memory M that is embedded in system processing unit 209 comprises that record first lamp 201 is not lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, and second lamp 203 is lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown.Thus, when digital optical processing projector was started shooting again, system processing unit 209 will attempt lighting second lamp 203, but not the first original lamp 201.
Similarly, when the judged result of step S402 is moved towards step S404 when lighting the flow process of second lamp 203 separately, with reference to Fig. 6.The flow process of lighting second lamp 203 separately comprises: system processing unit 209 can send the second lamp enable signal L2_En (step S601) of logic high earlier, then, resupplies system control unit 211 (being TI DLP ASIC) power supply (step S602).Thus, after the errorless and colour wheel stabilization of speed, system control unit 211 can send the system control signal LCS of logic highs to second lamp control circuit 217 (step S603) to system control unit 211 in self-examination.
Because the system control signal LCS and the second lamp enable signal L2_En are all logic high, so the second low lamp drive signal SCI_2 of output meeting output logic of the NAND gate NA in second lamp control circuit 217 is to provide a continuous current loop to second lamp driver 219.Thus, second lamp driver 219 can begin to light second lamp 203.Light in the process of second lamp 203 at second lamp driver 219, system processing unit 209 can judge whether the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 is transmitted is logic low (step S604).
When system processing unit 209 is judged the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted and is logic low (successfully lighting second lamp 203), the system status signal LST that system processing unit 209 can send logic low earlier is to system control unit 211 (step S605), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC give second lamp control circuit 217 (step S606).Thus, second lamp 203 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S607) and successfully be lighted (step S608).Wherein, when second lamp 203 enters the external sync pattern, represent its polarity (frequency) and sense of current Be Controlled, therefore throw image and just can not produce flicker.
On the other hand, to judge the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted non-during for logic low (successfully not lighting second lamp 203) when system processing unit 209, then system processing unit 209 can send the system status signal LST of logic high to system control unit 211, so that the system control signal LCS that system control unit 211 resends logic high gives second lamp control circuit 217 in a preset times (that is in step S401 Cnt defined 3 times), and continue to judge whether the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 is transmitted transfers logic low (step S604 to, S609 and S610).
In case when system processing unit 209 is judged the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted transfer logic low in pre-determined number (successfully lighting second lamp 203), the system status signal LST that system processing unit 209 can send logic low earlier is to system control unit 211 (step S605), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC give first lamp control circuit 213 (step S606).Thus, second lamp 201 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S607) and successfully be lighted (step S608).
Yet, judge when system processing unit 209 and (to repeat 3 times and all can't successfully light second lamp 203 when the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted does not transfer logic low in pre-determined number, represent that second lamp 203 may damage), then system processing unit 209 can go to revise the content (step S611) of the nonvolatile memory M that is embedded in system processing unit 209, and finishes to light the flow process (step S612) of second lamp 203.Wherein, the content that system processing unit 209 is revised the nonvolatile memory M that is embedded in system processing unit 209 comprises that record first lamp 201 is lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, and second lamp 203 is not lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown.Thus, when digital optical processing projector was started shooting again, system processing unit 209 will attempt lighting first lamp 201, but not the second original lamp 203.
In addition, when the judged result of step S402 is moved towards step S405 when lighting the flow process of first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 simultaneously, with reference to Fig. 7.The flow process of lighting first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 simultaneously comprises: system processing unit 209 can send earlier the first lamp enable signal L1_En and the second lamp enable signal L2_En (step S701) of logic high simultaneously, then, resupply system control unit 211 (being TI DLP ASIC) power supply (step S702).Thus, after the errorless and colour wheel stabilization of speed, the system control signal LCS that can send logic high is to first lamp control circuit 213 and second lamp control circuit 217 (step S703) in self-examination for system control unit 211.
Because the system control signal LCS and the first lamp enable signal L1_En are all logic high, so the first low lamp drive signal SCI_1 of output meeting output logic of the NAND gate NA in first lamp control circuit 213 is to provide a continuous current loop to first lamp driver 215.Thus, first lamp driver 215 can begin to light first lamp 201.
Similarly, because the system control signal LCS and the second lamp enable signal L2_En are all logic high, so the second low lamp drive signal SCI_2 of output meeting output logic of the NAND gate NA in second lamp control circuit 217 is to provide a continuous current loop to second lamp driver 219.Thus, second lamp driver 219 can begin to light second lamp 203.
Distinctly light in the process of first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 at first lamp driver 215 and second lamp driver 219, system processing unit 209 can judge whether the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 is transmitted is logic low (step S704) earlier, when system processing unit 209 is judged the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted and is logic low (successfully lighting first lamp 201), system processing unit 209 can continue judge whether the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 219 is transmitted is logic low (step S705).
When system processing unit 209 is judged the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 219 transmitted and is logic low (successfully lighting second lamp 203), the system status signal LST that system processing unit 209 can send logic low earlier is to system control unit 211 (step S706), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC give first lamp control circuit 213 and second lamp control circuit 217 (step S707).Thus, first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S708) and successfully be lighted (step S709).Wherein, when first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 enter the external sync pattern, represent its polarity (frequency) and sense of current Be Controlled, therefore throw image and just can not produce flicker.
On the other hand, judging the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted when system processing unit 209 is logic low (promptly successfully lighting first lamp 201), but the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 is transmitted is non-when the logic low (successfully not lighting second lamp 203), system processing unit 209 can send first lamp of logic highs earlier keep signal L1_K to first lamp control circuit 213, N type bipolar transistor T in Open from This Side first lamp control circuit 213; Then, system processing unit 209 can send the system status signal LST of logic high again to system control unit 211 (step S710).Thus, first lamp 201 promptly can enter spontaneous pattern (step S711).
After first lamp 201 enters spontaneous pattern, the system status signal LST of the logic high that system processing unit 209 is sent at step S710 can make system control signal LCS that system control unit 211 resends logic high give second lamp control circuit 217 in a preset times (that is in step S401 Cnt defined 3 times), and system processing unit 209 can continue to judge whether the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 is transmitted transfers logic low (step S712~S714) to.
In case when system processing unit 209 is judged the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted transfer logic low in pre-determined number (successfully lighting second lamp 203), system processing unit 209 can send the system status signal LST of logic low earlier to system control unit 211 (step S715), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC (step S716); Then, system processing unit 209 can send first lamp of logic low again and keep signal L1_K to first lamp control circuit 213 (step S717), so that first lamp control circuit 213 and second lamp control circuit 217 receive the system synchronization signal SYNC that system control unit 211 is sent.Thus, first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S718) and successfully be lighted (step S719).
Yet, judge when system processing unit 209 and (to repeat 3 times and all can't successfully light second lamp 203 when the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted does not transfer logic low in pre-determined number, represent that second lamp 203 may damage), system processing unit 209 can go to revise the content (step S720) of the nonvolatile memory M that is embedded in system processing unit 209 earlier, then the system status signal LST that sends logic low again is to system control unit 211 (step S721), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC (step S722); Then, system processing unit 209 can send first lamp of logic low again and keep signal L1_K to first lamp control circuit 213 (step S723), so that first lamp control circuit 213 receives the system synchronization signal SYNC that system control unit 211 is sent.Thus, first lamp 201 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S724) and successfully be lighted.
Owing to can't light second lamp 203 (being that digital optical processing projector can't operate in two lamp projection mode) smoothly, so after first lamp 201 enters the external sync pattern and is successfully lighted, can also on screen, show (on-screen display, OSD) information successfully do not lighted of second lamp 203 is known (step S725) to the user, can allow the user further second lamp 203 be changed or checks.
In addition, owing to can't light second lamp 203 smoothly, therefore in step S720, the content that system processing unit 209 is revised the nonvolatile memory M that is embedded in system processing unit 209 comprises that record first lamp 201 is lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, and second lamp 203 is not lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown.Thus, when digital optical processing projector was started shooting again, system processing unit 209 just only can remove to light first lamp 201 separately, does not remove to light second lamp 203 that may damage again and can not waste resource.
Again on the other hand, to judge the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted in step S704 non-during for logic low (promptly successfully not lighting first lamp 201) when system processing unit 209, and system processing unit 209 can continue judge whether the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 219 is transmitted is logic low (step S726).
When system processing unit 209 is judged the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted and is logic low (successfully lighting second lamp 203), system processing unit 209 can send second lamp of logic high earlier and keep signal L2_K to second lamp control circuit 217, in order to open N type bipolar transistor T in second lamp control circuit 217; Then, system processing unit 209 can send the system status signal LST of logic high again to system control unit 211 (step S727).Thus, second lamp 203 promptly can enter spontaneous pattern (step S728).
After second lamp 203 enters spontaneous pattern, the system status signal LST of the logic high that system processing unit 209 is sent at step S727 can make system control signal LCS that system control unit 211 resends logic high give first lamp control circuit 213 in a preset times (that is in step S401 Cnt defined 3 times), and system processing unit 209 can continue to judge whether the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 is transmitted transfers logic low (step S729~S731) to.
In case when system processing unit 209 is judged the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted transfer logic low in pre-determined number (successfully lighting first lamp 201), system processing unit 209 can send the system status signal LST of logic low earlier to system control unit 211 (step S732), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC (step S733); Then, system processing unit 209 can send second lamp of logic low again and keep signal L2_K to second lamp control circuit 217 (step S734), so that first lamp control circuit 213 and second lamp control circuit 217 receive the system synchronization signal SYNC that system control unit 211 is sent.Thus, first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S735) and successfully be lighted (step S736).
Yet, judge when system processing unit 209 and (to repeat 3 times and all can't successfully light first lamp 201 when the first lamp status signal L1ST that first lamp control circuit 213 transmitted does not transfer logic low in pre-determined number, represent that first lamp 201 may damage), system processing unit 209 can go to revise the content (step S737) of the nonvolatile memory M that is embedded in system processing unit 209 earlier, then the system status signal LST that sends logic low again is to system control unit 211 (step S738), so that system control unit 211 transmitting system synchronizing signal SYNC (step S739); Then, system processing unit 209 can send second lamp of logic low again and keep signal L2_K to second lamp control circuit 217 (step S740), so that second lamp control circuit 217 receives the system synchronization signal SYNC that system control unit 211 is sent.Thus, second lamp 203 promptly can enter external sync pattern (step S741) and successfully be lighted.
Owing to can't light first lamp 201 (being that digital optical processing projector can't operate in two lamp projection mode) smoothly, so after second lamp 203 enters the external sync pattern and is successfully lighted, can also show on screen that the information that first lamp 201 is not successfully lighted knows (step S742) to the user, can allow the user further first lamp 201 be changed or check.
In addition, owing to can't light first lamp 201 smoothly, therefore in step S737, the content that system processing unit 209 is revised the nonvolatile memory M that is embedded in system processing unit 209 comprises that record first lamp 201 is not lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown, and second lamp 203 is lighted before the digital optical processing projector shutdown.Thus, when digital optical processing projector was started shooting again, system processing unit 209 just only can remove to light second lamp 203 separately, does not remove to light first lamp 201 that may damage again and can not waste resource.
Again on the other hand, to judge the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 219 transmitted in step S726 non-during for logic low (first lamp 201 and second lamp 203 are not all successfully lighted) when system processing unit 209, the system status signal LST that system processing unit 209 can send logic highs is to system control unit 211 (step S743), so that the system control signal LCS that system control unit 211 resends logic high gives first lamp control circuit 213 and second lamp control circuit 217 (step S744 and S745) in a preset times (that is in step S401 Cnt defined 3 times).When in preset times, not lighting first lamp 201 or second lamp 203 yet, then finish to light the flow process (step S746) of first lamp 201 and second lamp 203.Otherwise, then return step S704.
Figure 8 shows that the flow chart of many lamps ignition method of another embodiment of the utility model.Merging is with reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 8, suppose that first lamp 201 is lighted, and this moment, desire increased or when alternately lighting second lamp 203, many lamps ignition method of present embodiment comprises: system processing unit 209 can send second lamp of logic high and keep signal L2_K to second lamp control circuit 217 (step S801), N type bipolar transistor T in Open from This Side second lamp control circuit 217, thus force second lamp driver 219 to light second lamp 203.
Thus, system processing unit 209 can judge whether the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 is transmitted is logic low (step S802).To judge the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted non-during for logic low (successfully not lighting second lamp 203) when system processing unit 209, can show on screen that then first lamp 201 continues to be lighted, and the information that second lamp 203 is not successfully lighted is known (step S803) to the user, thereby allows the user further second lamp 203 be changed or check.
On the other hand, when system processing unit 209 is judged the second lamp status signal L2ST that second lamp control circuit 217 transmitted and is logic low (successfully lighting second lamp 203), second lamp of the logic high that system processing unit 209 is sent at step S801 is kept signal L2_K can make second lamp 203 enter spontaneous pattern (step S804); Then, system processing unit 209 can send the second lamp enable signal L2_En of logic high earlier to second lamp control circuit 217 (step S805), second lamp that sends logic low is afterwards again kept signal L2_K to second lamp control circuit 217 (step S806), allows second lamp 203 enter external sync pattern (step S807) thus and is successfully lighted (step S808).
Thus, after system processing unit 209 only needed the user that it is received to order UC to handle (parsing), system processing unit 209 can judge whether to extinguish first lamp 201 (step S809).Lighted and desire extra (increases) this moment and light under the situation of second lamp 203 at first lamp 201, the judged result of step S809 can be moved towards step S810, that is: allow first lamp 201 and 203 whiles of second lamp projection light source as digital optical processing projector.That is to say that digital optical processing projector is in two lamp projection mode.
In addition, first lamp 201 lighted and this moment desire alternately light under the situation of second lamp 203, the judged result of step S809 can be moved towards step S811, that is: system processing unit 811 can send the first lamp enable signal L1_En of logic low to first lamp control circuit 213.Thus, first lamp 201 will extinguish (step S812), to allow the projection light source (step S813) of second lamp 203 as digital optical processing projector.That is to say that digital optical processing projector is in single lamp projection mode.
Similarly, in other embodiment of the utility model, also can be under the situation that second lamp 203 has been lighted, extra (increase) or alternately light first lamp 201, so its overall flow is similar to Fig. 8, does not repeat them here.
The lighting system of the foregoing description can be applied in the digital optical processing projector, and its projection light source is not restricted to two lamp systems.That is to say, can be according to practical application or design requirement, and in digital optical processing projector, set up several groups of lamps, lamp driver and lamp control circuit more.Yet in view of the content that the various embodiments described above disclosed, but the utility model field those of ordinary skill should class be released the above operation principles of two lamps, does not therefore repeat them here.In other words, so long as the digital optical processing projector of the lighting system of using the foregoing description is arranged, or even the above lighting system of two lamp promptly belongs to the scope of the utility model institute desire protection.
In sum, in the utility model the foregoing description, lighting system can reach following one of them purpose or other purpose at least:
1, the number of the lamp of increase digital optical processing projector is to increase the upper limit of projection brightness;
2, can specify according to the user and light specific lamp;
3, can be under the state that a certain small cup lamp has been lighted, extra (increase) lights another lamp;
4, can under the state that a certain small cup lamp has been lighted, alternately light another lamp; And
5, can light two lamps wherein under the state of success and another failure, light a lamp once more and do not influence that lamp of successfully lighting at that lamp of lighting failure.
The above; it only is preferred embodiment of the present utility model; when not limiting the scope that the utility model is implemented with this, promptly the simple equivalent of being done according to the utility model claim and utility model description generally changes and revises, and all still belongs in the protection range of the present utility model.In addition, arbitrary embodiment of the present utility model or claim must not reached the disclosed whole purposes of the utility model or advantage or characteristics.In addition, summary and title only are to be used for auxiliary patent document retrieval, are not to be used for limiting interest field of the present utility model.
