  • Patent number: 7934838
    Abstract: A projector includes a case, a separating plate, an electronic component system, a light source device and a blocking device. The case has a space defined therein. The separating plate is arranged in the case to divide the space into a first space and a second space. The electronic component system is arranged in the first space. The light source device for emitting light is arranged in the second space. The blocking device has a blocking plate which is arranged adjacent to the separating plate and controlled to be located from a first position and a second position. When the blocking plate is located at the first position, air flows from the first space into the second space. When the blocking plate is located at the second position, air in the second space is prevented from entering into the first space.

  • Patent number: 7883215
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention discloses projector circuit boards comprising an image receiving terminal, a central processing unit, a motor driving module, a DMD and a DMD control module. The image receiving terminal receives an image signal and transmits the received image signal to the central processing unit. The central processing unit processes the received image signal. The motor driving module drives a motor on the basis of the processed image signal to rotate a color wheel to generate a colored beam. The DMD, comprising a plurality of micro-mirrors, is used in reflecting the colored beam, transforming the colored beam into an image beam, and transmitting the image beam to a projection lens to project an image. The rotation angles of the micro-mirrors are controlled by the DMD control module coupled between the central processing unit and the DMD. The projector circuit board is perpendicular to a light path of the projection lens.

  • Publication number: 20090073146
    Abstract: An interface device includes a first connector, a second connector, and a switch unit. The first connector and the second connector respectively have a first power pin and a second power pin. The switch unit is coupled between the first connector and the second connector. When one of the first and the second connectors receives a first multimedia signal, the switch unit controls whether or not to transmit the first multimedia signal to the other of the first and the second connectors according to a voltage level of the other of the first and the second power pins.
