  • Publication number: 20090116218
    Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source, at least one seal block, at least one wavelength conversion material and a concentration adjusting unit. The light source emits light of a first wavelength. The wavelength conversion material is filled in the seal block. The concentration adjusting unit is disposed on the seal block for controlling concentration distribution of the wavelength conversion material in the seal block. The light emitted by the light source is absorbed by the wavelength conversion material and converted into light of second wavelength different from the first wavelength.

  • Publication number: 20090109353
    Abstract: A lighting device includes a light-emitting element, an ultrasonic member, a signal processing unit, a light control unit, an indicator and an indicator control unit. The light-emitting element emits a light. The ultrasonic member emits an ultrasonic signal and receives the ultrasonic signal reflected from an object. The signal processing unit is communicated with the ultrasonic member for converting the reflected ultrasonic signal into a control signal. The light control unit is interconnected between the signal processing unit and the light-emitting element for controlling the light-emitting element to emit light in a selected operating mode in response to the control signal. The indicator control unit is interconnected between the signal processing unit and the indicator for controlling the indicator to assert a notification signal indicative of the operating mode in response to the control signal.

  • Patent number: 7167322
    Abstract: A beam shaping apparatus including an optical lens is provided. The optical lens includes a diverging surface and a cylindrical surface. The diverging surface expands the input laser beam into a uniform line in one plane. The cylindrical surface converges the laser beam in another plane. Therefore, the output laser line has the desired width and the uniform density along its length.

  • Patent number: 7050123
    Abstract: An assembled housing of rear projection television comprising a foldable main framework and a foldable back cover is disclosed. The main framework is a flat structure as folded, while the main framework forms a ring structure as unfolded. The ring structure includes a front opening and a back opening, while the back cover is positioned in the back opening to form a chamber. The foldable design of the housing facilitates the users and the vendors to assemble the rear projection television, and also reduce the hardware space occupied by the housing, so as to reduce the cost of transportation compared to a traditional rear projection television.

  • Patent number: 7018082
    Abstract: A light bulb assembly with reduced tolerance for engaging a light bulb to a light engine. The light bulb has a first positioning portion. The light bulb assembly has a light machine and a light bulb frame. The light machine has a second positioning portion and an engaging portion for fixing the light bulb in a determined position when the first positioning portion of the light bulb abuts the second positioning portion. The light bulb frame is relatively fixed to the light machine for supporting the light bulb; the light bulb frame has a leaning portion for leaning on the first positioning portion of the light bulb, and an elastic pressure portion for applying three-dimensional pressure on the light bulb for moving toward the determined position.

  • Patent number: 6778338
    Abstract: A shield assembly for a built-in lens set is introduced to a lens set built in a housing, in which the lens set has an optical head and the housing provides an aperture with respective to the optical head. A protrusive enclosure surrounding the aperture protrudes toward the optical head and is spaced from the optical head by a variable slim spacing. The shield assembly includes a shield ring for sleeving both the optical head and the protrusive enclosure and an elastic connecting unit for bridging the shield ring and the housing. By providing the shield ring to enclose always the spacing and the elastic connecting unit to engage elastically the lens set with the housing, the lens set can be prevented from dust-contaminating through the aperture, aged axial offsetting problem, and poor focus-adjusting performance caused by backlash existing in a driving mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20030214740
    Abstract: An installation frame for a color wheel assembly of a projection apparatus, for firmly installing the color wheel assembly on a chassis of the apparatus, includes a base to be fixed on the chassis, a holding end for fastening the color wheel assembly, and a body connecting the base and the holding end. In particularly, the body forms a triangle to have the base as a side of the triangle and the holding end positioned at an angle opposing to the side. By providing the installation frame, the color wheel assembly can be isolated in construction from a cooperated optical device so as to reduce the entire operational noise level of the apparatus.
