Abstract

A laser projection apparatus includes a laser source, an optical engine and a projection lens. The optical engine includes a light pipe, a lens assembly, a reflector, a prism assembly and a digital micromirror device. An optical axis of the illumination beam transmitted by the light pipe and the lens assembly is a first optical axis. An optical axis of an illumination beam reflected by the reflector to the prism assembly is a second optical axis. The first optical axis is perpendicular to the second optical axis, and both the first optical axis and the second optical axis are parallel to the beam receiving face of the digital micromirror device.
