In order to improve the collimation efficiency of illumination system of DLP projector and simplify the optical path, a free-form TIR lens is used as the collimating component. The coordinates of profile curve of the transmitting part and total reflecting part are calculated by Matlab according to the Snell's law and iterative method at first. Then the TIR lens model is established with Pro/E. The ideal point source and surface source are also used to do the simulation. The view angle is collimated to ±7° b...
