  • Publication number: 20090097265
    Abstract: The light source module (10) includes a circuit board (11), a heat dissipating module (13) and a plurality of light emitting members (121). The circuit board defines a first surface 112 for supporting the plurality of light emitting members and an opposite second surface (114) for supporting the heat dissipation module. The heat dissipating module includes a base (1312), a plurality of heat dissipation fins (1313) and a plurality of heat pipes (132). The base has a top surface (1316) and an opposite bottom surface (1315). The plurality of heat dissipation fins are protruded upwardly from the top surface of the base. A plurality of grooves (1314) are defined in the bottom surface of the base. The heat pipes are received in the plurality of grooves of the base respectively. Each of the heat pipes includes a flat sidewall (1321) and an arc-shaped sidewall (1322).

  • Publication number: 20070139887
    Abstract: A portable projector with heat dissipating system is disclosed. The portable projector has a housing, at least a light source and a heat dissipating system, which comprises a heat dissipating tunnel, a light source heat dissipating module, and a fan. The heat dissipating tunnel has an inlet and an outlet such that air is able to enter the portable projector through the inlet and exit from it through the outlet. The light source heat dissipating module has at least one heat sink coupled to each light source for dissipating heat generated by each light source, and a heat pipe coupled to each heat sink for collecting heat dissipated by each heat sink to the heat dissipating tunnel, and the fan is located at the outlet of the heat dissipating tunnel for dissipating heat collected by the heat dissipating tunnel to the outside of the housing of the portable projector.

  • Patent number: 7018049
    Abstract: A projection cooling apparatus comprises a first cooling path and a second cooling path. The first cooling path includes a temperature sensor and an exhaust fan respectively installed in an inlet and an outlet of the first cooling path. The second cooling path includes a temperature sensor, a power supply unit, and a guiding fan. According to the detecting temperature resulted from the change of power supply and the environmental temperature, the temperature sensors of the first and second cooling path control the rotational speed of two sets of the fans to reach the best cooling effect, reduce the noises and extend the lifetime of the fan.

  • Patent number: 6967839
    Abstract: A cooling device includes a printed circuit board having a hole, a light valve disposed on the front surface of the printed circuit board, and a thermal diffuser disposed on the back surface of the printed circuit board. Therefore, the thermal diffuser can contact the light valve through the whole, and directly receives heat from the light valve. Guided by partition wall and channels, a fan of the thermal diffuser sucks airflows into stream channels to fully exchange heat with diffuser fins for cooling the light valve, so that the cooling efficiency of the light valve can be increased. Then, the airflows blow and cool the printed circuit board to form an integrated cooling system.
