What is 3LCD Bonding? The Key Process for Superior Projection Quality


Reliable Technology


With more than 100 million 3LCD chips shipped worldwide for projection, this powerful and road-tested technology is an optimal way to achieve sharp, beautiful images.

Light flows seamlessly through the system to produce brilliant on-screen colors and sharp images.


What is 3LCD Bonding? The Key Process for Superior Projection Quality

3LCD bonding is a critical manufacturing process in 3LCD projection technology. It refers to the core technique of precisely aligning and fixing the three liquid crystal panels (one each for red, green, and blue) into the optical engine. This process is fundamental to forming a complete, high-brightness image with vibrant, consistent color brightness, ensuring the perfect fusion of red, green, and blue light beams. It is the key to achieving high-quality projection performance.

The Principle of 3LCD Technology and the Importance of Bonding:

  • Three-Panel Principle: Unlike single-panel DLP technology that uses reflection, a 3LCD projector uses three separate LCD panels to control the passage of red, green, and blue primary colored light.

  • Prism Combination: These three light paths are precisely converged through a color synthesis prism (dichroic prism) and then projected onto the screen.

  • Bonding Precision: The "bonding" process ensures these three LCD panels achieve extremely high-precision alignment (at a micron level) in spatial dimensions (X, Y, Z axes, and rotation). This prevents color separation (color blur) or image ghosting, guaranteeing that the convergence point of the three colored light beams is flawless. The result is pure, accurate color reproduction and uniform color brightness.


Key Aspects of the Bonding Process:

  • High-Precision Alignment: Requires the use of precision machinery and optical inspection equipment to fix the three LCD panels in their predetermined positions within the optical engine.

  • Specialized Optical Adhesive: Specific optical-grade adhesives must be used. These ensure no bubbles or stress after curing, offer high light transmittance, and remain stable under varying temperature and humidity conditions.

  • Environmental Control: The manufacturing process must be conducted in a cleanroom environment with strict control over dust, temperature, and humidity to avoid contamination that could affect optical performance.


Why is 3LCD Bonding So Important?

  • Color Performance: It ensures the high Color Brightness and color saturation that 3LCD projectors are known for.

  • Image Quality: It eliminates color shift, enabling sharp, clear, and color-accurate images.

  • Technical Barrier: The bonding technique is one of the core technologies of 3LCD and a key area of competition among major brands (such as Epson, Panasonic, Barco, etc.).


In simple terms, 3LCD bonding is like precisely aligning and laminating three "colored transparencies" in the same position so that their light combines perfectly to form one complete, full-color picture.
