ABSTRACT:
An artificial light source generator includes at least one luminescent set and a projection plane. The luminescent set includes a light source, a parabolic mirror, a supporting seat, a first lens array, and a second lens array. The light source is disposed at the focus of the parabolic mirror, so that light beams generated by the light source are transmitted in a parallel direction through the parabolic mirror. The supporting seat is for supporting the light source. The first lens array has a plurality of first lens units, and each of the first lens units has a first focal distance. The second lens array has a plurality of second lens units. The distance between the second lens array and the first lens array is 0.5 to 1.5 times the first focal distance. A suitable distance exists between the projection plane and the luminescent set, so that the light beams passing through each of the second lens units cover the entire projection plane. Therefore, the projection plane has excellent illumination uniformity.
