  • Publication number: 20190361328
    Abstract: A projection device, includes a housing including an opening, a projection lens disposed in the housing, a lens cover module including a lens cover, and a Hall switch including a Hall sensor and a magnet. The lens cover shields the opening when the lens cover is in the closed position, and the housing exposes the opening and exposes the projection lens when the lens cover is in the open position. The Hall sensor is disposed on one of the housing and the lens cover, and the magnet is disposed on the other one of the lens cover and the housing corresponding to the Hall sensor. The Hall switch generates a first control signal when the lens cover is moved from the closed position to the open position. The Hall switch generates a second control signal when the lens cover is moved from the open position to the closed position.
