  • Patent number: 8851154
    Abstract: A cooling module includes a casing with a thermal-transmittance wall having an interior surface and an exterior surface, a coolant inlet, a vapor outlet, and a converting component with a plurality of orifices and dividing an interior of the casing into a coolant chamber and a vaporization chamber. A liquid coolant is ejected through the plurality of orifices to form plumes toward the interior surface of the thermal-transmittance wall and exchange heat with the thermal-transmittance wall resulting in coolant vapor. In a cooling system, a vapor conduit then carries the vapor to a condenser, and a coolant conduit returns the condensed coolant to the cooling module. The cooling system is used to cool a lamp device.

  • Patent number: 7350928
    Abstract: A projection display system comprises an illumination device, a prism assembly, a projection lens and a reflective light valve. The prism assembly has a first light incident surface, a first light emitting surface and a second light emitting surface. The first light emitting surface is an optical curved surface. An illumination beam is incident on the light valve after it enters the prism assembly from the first light incident surface. A modulated beam is generated after it is processed through the light valve. Finally, the modulated beam is projected into the projection lens through the prism assembly. Because a surface of the prism assembly is set to be an optical curved surface to replace a lens in the projection lens or the illumination device, a back focal length of the system is shortened and the projection lens or the illumination device is simplified.

  • Patent number: 7080908
    Abstract: The optical system of a projection display apparatus. The projection display apparatus includes a light source, a prism, a light valve, and a projection lens. A light beam emitted from the light source impinges into the prism and passes through the first surface of the prism directly to illuminate the light valve which is placed near the first surface and parallels the first surface. By the reflection of the light valve, the light beam impinges into the first surface again, and illuminates a total internal reflection surface with an incidental angle large than the critical total reflection angle, so as to reflect the light beam out of the second surface of the prism and impinge to projection lens to form an image. Therefore, the optical system can increase the transmission and decrease the number of components, and reduce its overall volume.

A light beam is provided by the illumination system. The projection lens unit and the reflective light valve are disposed on the transmission path of the light beam, and the reflective light valve is disposed between the illumination system and the projection lens unit. The first beam breaker and the second beam breaker are used to cut into the transmission path of the light beam from different directions to block a part of the light beam, and part of the light beam passes through the first beam breaker and the second beam breaker. The darker image projected by the optical projection apparatus has higher contrast and better uniformity.

  • Patent number: 6834967
    Abstract: An optical system disposes a total reflection lens between a light valve and a projection lens. When a white light beam, emitting from a light source, passes through a color-generating device, the color of the light beam is sequentially converted into red, green, and blue primaries, and uniformed by an integrator. Then, the light beam impinges into the total reflection lens and is reflected to the light valve. The light valve reflects the light beam into a projection lens to be projected on a screen. Therefore, this invention increases the projection efficiency, and reduces the bulk and components of the optical system.
