  • Patent number: 11169434
    Abstract: An optical engine module includes a housing, an assembling element, a light valve and a first heat exchange assembly. The assembling element has an opening corresponding to an assembly hole of the housing and is assembled on the housing in a non-direct contact mode. The light valve includes a base and an imaging element. The base bears against the assembling element, and an imaging surface of the imaging element faces the opening. The housing, the assembling element and the light valve define a chamber. The first heat exchange assembly is disposed on the assembling element and includes at least one first heat conduction component and a first heat dissipation fin set. The first heat dissipation fin set is located outside the housing. The first heat conduction component extends from the assembling element to the outside of the housing and is connected with the first heat dissipation fin set.

  • Publication number: 20210063852
    Abstract: A projection device includes a housing, a light source module, a light valve, a projection lens, and a temperature control element. The light source module is disposed in the housing and adapted to provide an illumination beam. The light valve is disposed on a transmission path of the illumination beam and configured to convert the illumination beam into an image beam. The projection lens is disposed on a transmission path of the image beam and includes a lens barrel having a curved surface. The temperature control element is disposed on the projection lens and is adapted to cool or heat the projection lens. The shape of the temperature control surface matches the curved surface of the lens barrel, and the temperature control surface is configured to be connected to the curved surface of the lens barrel. The disclosure may further provide a temperature control method of a projection device.

  • Patent number: 8393738
    Abstract: An illumination module includes a light source, a supporting element, a guiding tube and an airflow generator. The supporting element is fixed relative to the light source. The guiding tube is pivoted to the supporting element and adjacent to the light source. The guiding tube is capable of moving between a first position and a second position relative to the light source. The airflow generator has an airflow outlet and is capable of generating an airflow. The airflow outlet is adjacent to the guiding tube. The airflow flows into the light source through the guiding tube. The invention also provides a projector with the illumination module.
