  • Publication number: 20120019785
    Abstract: A light source module, a projection apparatus, and a method of controlling the projection apparatus are provided. The projection apparatus has the light source module. The light source module has a first light source, a wavelength transforming unit, and a driver. The first light source generates a first light beam having a first wavelength according to a first pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The wavelength transforming unit transforms the first light beam into a second light beam having a second wavelength. The driver drives the wavelength transforming unit, such that the first light beam irradiates a start position on the wavelength transforming unit when a rising edge of the first PWM signal is detected. The start position is determined by a controller.

  • Patent number: 7514880
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus for a projector comprises a control module, a lamp driver and a transient voltage suppression circuit, in which the control module is used for generating a lighting signal, the lamp driver is used for receiving the lighting signal and controlling a lamp according to the lighting signal, and the transient voltage suppression circuit is disposed between the control module and the lamp driver, used for transmitting said lighting signal to the lamp driver and attenuating a high transient voltage generated at the instant the lamp driver lights up the lamp. The present invention is used to lower the high transient voltage through the transient voltage suppression circuit. Whereby, the control module is protected and the stability of the projector is further enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7237904
    Abstract: A control method for cooling a projection display, wherein a pressure sensor automatically detects the elevation above sea level of a projection display and then transmits a signal to the control unit for controlling the cooling unit to operate in a corresponding cooling mode, thereby the cooling efficiency varies with the elevation above sea level and then the cooling unit can operate in a corresponding rotating speed in order to effectively cool the whole projection display and increase the flexibility in using the projection display, and further extend the lifetime of each component inside the projection display.

  • Publication number: 20060055893
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring signals of a projector includes a power supply, a signal-processing unit, a control unit, a starter and a lamp. The power supply provides the power, and then the signal-processing unit transmits the starting signal to the starter. The control unit monitors and determines if the signal is normal, and then controls the power supply and the signal-processing unit according to the signal. Therefore, the present invention can prevent the lamp from bursting, increase the safety of the users, and raises the stability of the projector.
