Abstract

A projection apparatus including an illumination system, a light valve, and an image-forming system is provided. The illumination system includes a first dichroic unit, a second dichroic unit, a third dichroic unit, two wavelength conversion modules, two light sources respectively emitting a first beam and a second beam, and an excitation light source module emitting an excitation beam. The first dichroic unit and the second dichroic unit are disposed on a transmission path of the excitation beam. The two wavelength conversion modules respectively convert the corresponding partial excitation beam coming from the first dichroic unit and the second dichroic unit into two converted beams. The light valve converts the first beam, the two converted beams, and the second beam coming from the third dichroic unit into an image beam. The image-forming system is disposed on a transmission path of the image beam.
