  • Patent number: 7744045
    Abstract: The invention provides a display device having an improved exterior appearance by covering a bracket including a display unit with a back cabinet, capable of having a stand attached thereto and removed therefrom without taking off the back cabinet. A display unit 1 is fixed inside a cabinet 5 composed of a front cabinet 5A and a back cabinet 5B. An opening 28 is formed to the back cabinet 5B having an inner diameter D1 greater than an outer diameter D of a head portion 25A of a fixing screw 25. Thus, the stand 15 can be disassembled from the display unit 1 without taking off the back cabinet 5B, by removing a disengaged fixing screw 25 through the opening 28 to the exterior.

  • Patent number: 7077527
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to share a projection unit which is a principal component of a rear-projection type imaging device and a chassis are mounted to thereby share a molding die of a base cabinet. Upper cabinets 3 are molded according to the inch size of a screen 7. A chassis 25 is shared. A base cabinet 5 is molded with a common molding die, nesting dies are built in according to the width of an upper cabinet 3 and adjustment sections 22 are formed as a single piece on both sides of the base cabinet 5. Adjustment sections 22a disposed on both sides of a back cover 6 and a decorative panel 26 fixed to the front of the base cabinet 5 are molded separately so as to match the width of the upper cabinet 3 to the width of a lower cabinet 4.

  • Publication number: 20060066761
    Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive rear projection television including a cooling structure that blows air directly against a heating element that generates heat to become hot, thus suppressing a rise in the temperature of the heating element. In addition, the shapes of having exhaust ducts are simplified, thus reducing the cost. A first duct 71 and a second duct 101 are formed to have generally U-shaped cross sections; air blown by a first blowing fan 70 is exhausted to the exterior through the first duct 71 and external air is supplied to a second blowing fan 100 through the second duct 101. The U-shaped opening sides of the ducts are attached to a lower cabinet 5 to form cylindrical paths. Consequently, the costs of the ducts are lower than those of integrally cylindrically molded ducts.

  • Publication number: 20060068619
    Abstract: To provide a device capable of effectively shielding noise which constitutes interference is provided without sacrificing miniaturization. A power supply circuit board 60 and an analog signal processing substrate 61 are arranged side by side backward and forward centered on a projection unit 30 and a lamp drive circuit board 64 is disposed at a position far from the analog signal processing substrate 61 across the projection unit 30. A driver circuit board 31, digital circuit board 62 and scaler circuit board 63 are housed in shield cases 39, 70, 71, the shield case 70 is disposed upright so as to separate the power supply circuit board 60 and analog signal processing substrate 61 from the driver circuit board 31, and the three sides of the driver circuit board 31 are surrounded with the shield cases 70, 71 and an uprising section 35b of a support frame 35.

  • Publication number: 20050084655
    Abstract: The present invention provides an injection molding method and a thin-plate molded product formed thereby. The method for forming as molded product a thin-plate molded product by injecting a molten material such as resin into a cavity of a mold formed of a fixed mold and a movable mold comprises disposing slide core molds defining the cavity across substantially a whole length on at least three directions of the thin-plate molded product, providing projections to the slide core molds that face the cavity, injecting molten resin into the cavity and cooling the same, moving the movable mold to open the mold, receding the slide core molds disposed on at least three directions of the thin-plate molded product, and projecting the molded product via eject pins provided to the fixed mold.
