Abstract: A liquid crystal projector device of the present invention includes a casing having disposed therein a lamp unit, an optical system for receiving light from the lamp unit to generate image light, and a power unit. An exhaust system for cooling an inside of the casing is attached to a side surface of the casing. The exhaust system includes a first exhaust fan and a second exhaust fan, which stand along the side surface of the casing. The first exhaust fan is placed toward the lamp unit, while the second exhaust fan is placed toward the power unit. Exhaust directions of both exhaust fans intersect each other.
Abstract: Embodiments include a light engine to generate pixels and a number of lenses positioned to receive pixels from the light engine and to project the pixels on to a field with a higher angular pixel density at an edge of the field than at a center of the field. A method according to embodiments includes generating pixels in a light engine, receiving the pixels from the light engine in a plurality of lenses, and projecting the pixels through the plurality of lenses on to a field with a higher angular pixel density at an edge of the field than at a center of the field.
