  • Publication number: 20140009698
    Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal projector which prevents deterioration of an aluminum grid inorganic polarizing plate due to dusts included in cooling wind for cooling a liquid crystal panel module. A shade member is provided along a surface of the inorganic polarizing plate on which the cooling wind is received, to prevent the surface from being directly receiving the cooling wind and thus prevent attachment of dusts. In order to reduce a cooling effect due to the shade member, 0.9t?a?1.5t and 0.5t?b?1.5t are satisfied, where a represents a width of the shade member, b represents a distance between the shade member and the polarizing plate, and t represents a thickness of the polarizing plate. As a result, it is possible to obtain the cooling effect and the effect of reducing the dusts at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8109642
    Abstract: A projection type image display apparatus comprising a light source, an optical integrator, by which light outgoing from the light source is changed in distribution of illumination, a color separation optical system, by which light outgoing from the optical integrator is separated into a plurality of light beams, and a relay optical system including a plurality of relay lenses, by which light beams separated by the color separation optical system are relayed, and a reflection mirror. The relay optical system includes a device that adjusts angles of inclination of at least one of the relay lenses with respect to an optical axis of illumination of light outgoing from the light source.

  • Patent number: 6680883
    Abstract: It is an object to perform a thin and compact design of the objective lens driving device. In order to achieve the above object, optical beam is passed through a space surrounded by a tracking coil and a focusing coil which are adjacent to each other and fixed in a holder. Further, it is another object to position the objective lens with high precision in an objective lens driving device for switching a plurality of objective lenses in accordance with the type of an optical disc. In order to achieve this object, magnetic substances which are radially extended with the sliding shaft at the center are provided in the lens holder, and the magnetic substances are located within a plane perpendicular to the plane constituting the magnetic gap and at the outside of the magnetic gap. Still further, in an objective lens driving device it is another object to prevent the occurrence of positional displacement of the objective lens due to resistance force of current supply means such as FPC.
