  • Patent number: 7055960
    Abstract: A rear projection display device includes an image generator, a reflector, a screen and a light shield disposed between the reflector and the screen. The image engine emits image beams among which ineffective ones are blocked by the light shield while effective ones are reflected on the screen via the reflector, thereby increasing the image forming performance of the displace device. The light shield is mounted on an adjusting device having an adjusting element. After the rear projection display device has been assembled, an angle and position of the light shield can be adjusted by means of rotating the adjusting element to further help the light shield to block the ineffective beams.

  • Publication number: 20050012995
    Abstract: A rear projection display apparatus includes a housing, an optical engine installed in the housing, a multi-curvatures reflection mirror, a plane mirror and a screen, in which a plurality of reflection faces with a different curvature radius are disposed at the surface of the multi-curvatures reflection mirror according to the lengths of optical paths. An image beam is provided by the optical engine and the light paths are reflected and bended to the plane mirror by the multi-curvatures reflection mirror after image deformation is corrected. Finally, the optical paths are reflected and bended again by the plane mirror and the image is displayed on the screen. Whereby, the thickness of the apparatus can be reduced and the image deformation can be improved.
