Chapter 4---Optical 4-8 Model 250 Service Manual Figure 4-5 Upper level view of Optical Path (top view). Optical Path - Inputs Arc Lamp high intensity white light Component RGB Image light from each of the ILA ® Optical Path - Outputs Component RGB polarized light to the ILA® Output image light to the Projection Lens Optical Path - Operation The light travels from the Arc Lamp into the Optical Path (see Figure 4-5). The light reflects off a cold mirror and passes through a light pipe. From the...

Chapter 4---Optical Model 250 Service Manual 4-9 The Dichroic Beamsplitter Assembly separates the white light into its red, green, and blue components. Each component light beam goes into the Prism Assembly where it is polarized. Light can be viewed as having two electromagnetic components: a Horizontal- electric field and a Vertical-electric field. These fields are perpendicular to each other. When unpolarized light travels through a polarizing beamsplitter, one of these fields is reflected and one is...

Chapter 4---Optical 4-12 Model 250 Service Manual Positioner adjusts the light beam coming out of the Light Pipe so that it projects squarely onto the face of the ILA®. NOTE: Do not adjust the XY Positioner unless there is a dark edge visible on screen. If the XY Positioner is misaligned, there will be a dark edge on the left, right, top or bottom edge caused by the edge of the Light Pipe. Perform the Arc Lamp alignment before adjusting the XY Positioner unless the dark edge makes Arc Lamp alignment...

Chapter 4---Optical Model 250 Service Manual 4-13 4.3 ILA® ILA® Main functions ! Modulates image light from the CRT onto the high intensity polarized light from the Arc Lamp ! Reflects high intensity light received from the Prism Assembly back into the Prism Assembly after modulating with image light ! Adjustable bias voltage and frequency (ILA® Sensitivity) ! Adjustable offstate with Super Contrast ILA®s ! Image light from CRT is blocked from output. Image is electrostatically coupled to output...

Chapter 4---Optical 4-14 Model 250 Service Manual ILA® Operation The ILA® plays a critical part in bringing the image to the screen. The ILA® receives the image light when the CRT projects the image through the Relay Lens and focuses it onto the photoconductive layer on the input side of the ILA®. The image does not pass directly through the ILA® but is transferred by a change of impedance of the photoconductive layer to the Liquid Crystal Layer on the output side of the ILA ®. The light coming from the...

Chapter 4---Optical Model 250 Service Manual 4-15 NOTE: Reset the ILA® bias after setting the Compensator and check G2 Sensitivity Offset, and Threshold Offset level (see Model 250 User’s Guide, section 5.8 Black Level G 2 and Sensitivity Offset). ILA ® Overlap This adjustment positions the ILA® assemblies in their sockets so that the image from each ILA® will overlap (be placed on top of) the other two ILA®s. Make this adjustment whenever replacing an ILA®. Tools Needed 4-mm hex-head wrench Flathead...

Chapter 4---Optical 4-16 Model 250 Service Manual CAUTION! To avoid damaging the connector, grasp the ILA® assembly itself, not the connector at the top. Figure 4-10 ILA® Assembly top view. The overlap screws shown are under the ILA®. They are visible only after the ILA® assembly is removed. 13. If the overlap is at the top or bottom, be sure the projector is level. Slide the spring clip (see Figure 4-10) at the top of the ILA ® assembly back. 14. Loosen the two hex nuts, using a 4-mm hex-head...

ILA ® Back Focus Adjustment The ILA® Back Focus adjustment moves the ILA®/Relay Lens/CRT assemblies forward or backward as one unit to focus the ILA® output on the screen. When using a zoom lens this adjustment allows the zoom lens’ tracking to remain focused on the screen throughout the entire zoom range. Use the Focus Pattern...
