A projector device is provided. The projector device includes a projector unit, an optical beam splitting module and a first image forming element. The projector unit forms a beam projecting image. The horizontal projection width of the beam projecting image is smaller than the vertical projection width of the beam projecting image. The optical beam splitting module projects one or multiple projection sub-images according to the beam projecting image. The projection sub-images are projected to the first image forming element to form one or multiple projection images. Thus, the projector device obtains multiple projection images from a single image source, and the placement of the image forming elements in the projector unit may be adjusted to obtain the projection images with the best image ratios and the best resolutions. The projector device may be suitable for a head up display.

A beam splitting module and a projector device using the same are provided. The beam splitting module comprises a projector, a first reflective mirror and a second reflective mirror. The projector projects a first split image, a second split image and a third split image. The first reflective mirror reflects the first split image to a real image forming plate to form a first projection image. The second reflective mirror reflects the second split image to the real image forming plate to form a second projection image. The third split image is projected on the real image forming plate through a space between the first reflective mirror and the second reflective mirror to form a third projection image.

An optical scanning projection module includes a scanning light component including a plurality of sub light sources and at least one light-splitting element, a main light reflective element, a scanning element and a photosensitive element. Sub light beams of the sub light sources are converged to form a main light beam. One of the sub light beams travels to the light-delivering element to form a partial reflective light beam and a partial penetrating light beam. With a scanning manner, the partial reflective light beam or the partial penetrating light beam is reflected by the scanning element to be an inspection light, and the main light beam is reflected by the scanning element to be a projection light. The photosensitive element outputs a sensing signal according to the inspection light. Thus, the optical scanning projection module controls the operation of the scanning light component according to the sensing signal.

Optical scanning projection module

An optical scanning projection system includes a scanning light source component, a second reflecting element, a transparent element, a scanning element, a photosensitive element and a control module. The transparent element receives a main light beam emitted by the scanning light source component and reflects a part of the main light beam to be a reflected light. The reflected light is reflected by the second reflecting element, and the scanning element reflects the reflected light from the second reflecting element in a scanning manner. The photosensitive element receives the reflected light from the scanning element and outputs a sensing signal, and the control module actuates or stops actuating the scanning light source component according to the sensing signal. Therefore, when the scanning element is damaged, the control module may instantly stop actuating the scanning light source component, thereby enhancing the using safety of the optical scanning projection system.
