  • Patent number: 9740217
    Abstract: A device is suitable for controlling a rotation-speed of a fan of a display. The device includes a temperature sensor for sensing a current temperature of the display, a memory for storing the current temperature of the display and a first and a second setting-temperature and a control module coupled to the temperature sensor and the memory and adapted to couple to the fan of the display. The control module compares the current temperature of the display with the first and the second setting-temperatures and judging the variation of the current temperature of the display to control the rotation-speed of the fan. If the control module judges out the current temperature of the display sensed by the temperature sensor rises, the control module raises the rotation-speed of the fan when the rotation-speed of the fan is lower than a maximum rotation-speed.

  • Publication number: 20050139346
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a light valve of the present invention includes a control box disposed on the back of the light valve to actuate the light valve, followed by a heat pipe and a heat-conducting component pasted upon the inner surface of the control box. The heat-conducting component is connected to a heat-collecting end of the heat pipe and one of its surface contacts with the light valve. The heat of the light valve is conducted to the second part of the control box through the heat-conducting component, and then the heat is conducted to the second part of the control box via the heat pipe pasted upon it. Thus, the heat of the light valve can be removed through the large area of the second part of control box, so as to increase the cooling efficiency and simplify the cooling apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6808296
    Abstract: The present invention sucks the air from the fan at the top of the imaging assembly of the optical engine and blows the air via the air duct device downward. Some of the air is guided by the diversion board, aslant guiding surface, and aslant isolating board of the air duct device and blown into the imaging assembly for cooling the optical components. Some of the air is guided through a first air duct, a second air duct, and a third air duct extended from the outside of this main body respectively to the outer surface of the light valves. Further, some of the airflow is guided into a branch air duct and blown to a vent of the imaging assembly. By means of the changing direction diversion board, the airflow is guided towards the polarizer module, and flows out from a vent on the other side.
