  • Publication number: 20070229772
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a handheld projection system (10) comprising a projection device (14, 18, 20) arranged for projecting an image onto a projection surface (24). The projection device has at least two drive power modes associated with different qualities of the projected image. The handheld projection system further comprises a selection device (17) for selecting, based on the currently selected power source of the device, one of said at least two drive power modes, so that the quality of the projected image is adjusted based on the power source of the handheld projection system. The handheld projection system according to the invention may easily be adapted to different usage situations implying different requirements when it comes to projected image quality and device properties.

  • Publication number: 20070079232
    Abstract: A display system (20) employs a light source (21), a display panel (31), and an optical filter (23). An optical path (OP) extends from the light source (21) through the optical filter (23) to the display panel (31) where light emitted from the light source (21) propagates along the optical path (OP) through the optical filter (23) to the display panel (31). The display system (20) further employs an Nth order electro-mechanical wave transducer (24, 40) to vibrate the optical filter (23) to thereby facilitate a desired illumination of the emitted light onto the display panel (31).

  • Publication number: 20060203209
    Abstract: A projection display device comprises an illumination system having a light source providing an illumination beam, a colour filter means comprising four different colour filter segments, corresponding to four different primary colours, respectively, for scanning an image display panel with different coloured portions of the illumination beam, and an image display system comprising said image display panel for modulating the coloured portions of the illumination beam with image information and projecting an image on a screen. The device is characterized in that the colour filter segments are arranged to allow simultaneous scanning of said image display panel with at least three of said four primary colours.

  • Publication number: 20060203132
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of projection type video image display devices allowing color adjustment and a method for such a color adjustment. The device comprises a light source (1) for emitting a white light luminous flux; color light-separating means (2a, 2b) for separating the white light into three color lights of red, blue and green light; light valves (3R, 3G, 3B) for modulating lights contained in luminous fluxes from said color light-separating means (2a, 2b), and producing a video image; color light-combining means (4) for combining the modulated luminous fluxes, and projection optical means (5) for projecting a combined luminous flux on a screen.

  • Publication number: 20050117075
    Abstract: Rear projection system comprising a rear projection cabinet with a rectangular opening, a projection screen covering said opening and a projector located at least partly in said cabinet, wherein the sides of the rectangular opening are curved. The sides of the opening are curved at least as much as curvatures of sides of an image to be projected by the projector, which curvatures are due to distortion caused by the projector.

  • Publication number: 20050117074
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of correcting perturbations in a picture signal of a color projection system which is provided with a light modulation panel comprising a large number of pixels arranged in a matrix of m×n rows. The light modulation panel is projected on a screen by a projection lens, and simultaneously illuminated by curved light spots of two or more colors. The light spots are moved across the light modulation panel and the pixels are driven row by row for projecting the picture signal. The invention also relates to a color projection system comprising a light source, an optical system comprising lenses and mirrors, means for splitting a light beam from the light source into several bars of different colors, a light modulation panel provided with a large number of pixels arranged in a matrix of m rows and n columns, a projection lens, and driving means for driving the pixels row by row for projecting information.

  • Publication number: 20050088622
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for generating an image for projection, the device comprising a light source, a light source drive unit, electro-optical light modulation means including color scanning means for simultaneously generating scrolling image parts of different colors, image projection means for projecting the image by using said scrolling image parts and a projection drive unit for controlling said image projection means by a control signal including the image data to be projected. In such devices, a UHP lamp is often used as a light source. Therein, a pulse on the lamp current is used to shape the electrodes in such a way that the lamp arc remains in a stable position.
