  • Patent number: 9316825
    Abstract: A color wheel module and a projector apparatus using the same are disclosed. The color wheel module has a driving device, a polarity of color filters and a switching device. The color filters are disposed on and driven by a rotary axle of the driving device. The switching device is disposed on the side of the driving device. The driving device is capable of rotating the rotary axle and driving the color filters of the color wheel module. While the projector apparatus is in a planar image mode, a lock rod of the switching device will lock the rotary axle of the driving device to stop the operation of the driving device. While the projector apparatus is in a stereoscopic mode, the lock rod will release the axle so that the driving device is turned to drive the color filters.

  • Patent number: 8085245
    Abstract: A display device includes a processor, a memory, an interface and a keypad. The keypad, separably connected to the interface, includes a signal generator. When the display device is connected to a power source, the processor sends a first signal to the interface. The signal generator generates a second signal in response to the first signal. The processor determines whether the second signal is correct based on data stored in the memory. If yes, the display device may be activated. A method for activating the display device via the separable keypad comprises the steps of: connecting the display device to the power source; the display device sending the first signal to the interface; determining whether the second signal is correct; and if yes, activating the display device.

  • Publication number: 20070176107
    Abstract: An optical engine for use in a projection apparatus is disclosed, wherein the optical engine carries an illumination system and an imaging system for co-defining an optical axis, while a light beam emitted from the illumination system is transmitted to the imaging system along the optical axis. The optical engine comprises a chassis, a housing, a light tunnel apparatus and a holding edge. The dimensions of the receiving space defined by the holding edge and the housing are substantially constant and identical to the dimensions of the light tunnel apparatus comprised of a light tunnel and a bracket apparatus. The receiving space comprises a symmetry centerline coinciding with the optical axis to prevent the light beam from deviating away from the optical axis. To accommodate different resolutions, the differently sized light tunnels may fit into the receiving space, provided that the bracket apparatus comes in a size that can maintain constant dimensions after assembly with the light tunnel.
