Abstract

A light source module of a projector includes a beam splitter, a red light source, a blue light source, and a blue light source. The beam splitter has a first reflection side, on which a first splitter film is provided, and a second reflection side, on which a second splitter film is provided. An angle between a normal line of the first reflection side, and a normal line of the second reflection side, is in a range between 165 degrees and 180 degrees. Both the first splitter film and the second splitter film permit red rays to pass therethrough. The red light source is separated from the blue and green light sources to obtain a better thermal dissipation.

Claims (9)

1. A light source module of a projector, comprising:

a beam splitter having a first reflection side, on which a first splitter film is provided, and a second reflection side, on which a second splitter film is provided, wherein an angle between a normal line of the first reflection side, and a normal line of the second reflection side, is in a range between 165 degrees and 180 degrees, both the first splitter film and the second splitter film permit red rays to pass therethrough;

a red light source at a side facing the first reflection side of the beam splitter;

a blue light source at a side facing the second reflection side of the beam splitter; and

a green light source on the same side with the blue light source facing the second reflection side of the beam splitter.

2. The light source module as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first splitter film reflects blue rays, and the second splitter film permits blue rays to pass therethrough, and reflects green rays.

3. The light source module as defined in claim 2 , wherein the first splitter film reflects green rays, and the second splitter film permits green rays to pass therethrough, and reflects blue rays.

4. The light source module as defined in claim 1 , wherein the beam splitter is a tapered member, having a narrow end and a wide end, and the red light source is proximal to the narrow end, and distal to the wide end.

5. The light source module as defined in claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of collimators between the light sources and the beam splitter.
