  • Publication number: 20200228765
    Abstract: An illumination system and a projection device are provided. The illumination system includes an excitation light source, a wavelength conversion module and a light combining prism. The excitation light source emits an exciting light beam. The light combining prism has a first, second, and third surfaces. The exciting light beam enters the light combining prism through the first surface, and is totally reflected by the second surface to leave the light combining prism through the third surface and is transmitted to the wavelength conversion module. The exciting light beam is converted into a wavelength converted light beam by a wavelength conversion region of the wavelength conversion module or reflected by a reflecting region of the wavelength conversion module at different timings, and the wavelength converted light beam or the exciting light beam sequentially penetrates through the third surface and the second surface to leave the light combining prism.

  • Publication number: 20200089091
    Abstract: An illumination system including a first excitation light source, a transflective element, a wavelength conversion wheel and a filter wheel is provided. The first excitation light source emits a first excitation beam. The transflective element allows a first portion beam of the first excitation beam to pass through, and reflects a second portion beam of the first excitation beam. The wavelength conversion wheel is disposed on a transmission path of the first portion beam and includes a wavelength conversion region, and when the first portion beam irradiates onto the wavelength conversion region, the first portion beam is converted into a converted beam. The filter wheel is disposed on a transmission path of the second portion beam and the converted beam, and includes multiple filter regions, wherein the second portion beam and the converted beam irradiate onto each of the filter regions of the filter wheel.

  • Patent number: 10358264
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus may include a hang tag including a frame, a flap, and a strip. The frame may define an opening dimensioned to receive a display fixture and be secured to part of a package that is removable from a second part of the package. The flap may be coupled to the frame, and may fold over an edge of the frame to attach to the second part of the package, forming a seal between the two parts of the package. The strip may be disposed between, and removably coupled to, the flap and the frame. Removing the strip may break the seal between the two parts of the package, thereby enabling the parts of the package to be separated. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

The illumination system provides an illumination beam. An image display surface of the light valve includes a first region and a second region. First pixels of the first region convert the illumination beam into first sub-image beams. Second pixels of the second region convert the illumination beam into second sub-image beams. A transmission path of one of the first sub-image beams in the optical actuation element is a first transmission path. A transmission path of one of the second sub-image beams in the optical actuation element is a second transmission path. A length of the first transmission path is smaller than a length of the second transmission path. In this way, the projection apparatus has good image quality.

  • Patent number: 8308014
    Abstract: A fuel cap of an internal combustion device includes a fuel cap body, a restraining element, a resilient element, and a positioning element. The slide block of the restraining element is normally resiliently pressed by the resilient element and therefore protrudes from the outer periphery of the main body portion of the fuel cap body. The fuel cap body can be inserted into a fuel tank when the engaging blocks of the fuel cap body are aligned with the gaps of the fuel tank, and the fuel cap body is subsequently secured when the slide block is engaged in a positioning notch formed on the outer projecting wall of the fuel tank. By pushing the pushing plate of the restraining element inward, the slide block is retracted into the slide groove of the fuel cap body to allow removal of the fuel cap body from the fuel tank opening.
