Abstract

The present invention provides an optical projection system with microlens arrays. The optical projection system includes a light source, a collimating lens, a first microlens array, a projection source, a positive lens module, a second microlens array and a receiving surface which are arranged in sequence. The first microlens array includes n first microlens units arranged in an array. The projection source includes n projected image units arranged in an array. The second microlens array includes n second microlens units arranged in an array. The first microlens unit and the second microlens unit which are opposite to each other have a common optical axis. According to the system of the present invention, sub-real image units can be compounded and superposed on the receiving surface, such that optical crosstalk between adjacent optical channels can be avoided.
