  • Patent number: 7830599
    Abstract: A projection-type display apparatus and a display method thereof are disclosed, the projection-type display apparatus including a coated portion which is formed on a surface of a substrate, and which scans a video onto a screen, and a patterned portion which is formed on another surface of the substrate in a serrated pattern, wherein the serrated pattern is formed on the substrate according to the surface area of the patterned portion and the depth of the serrated pattern. A serrated pattern is formed on a substrate forming a reflective portion to reflect a video on a screen, so the cooling surface area of the substrate is increased, thereby compensating for distortions in video scanned onto the screen.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7304690
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical engine of a projection television in which a path of illumination emitted from a light source is aligned to correspond with the image producer by turning a screw of a mirror device. The object of the present invention can be achieved by an optical engine of a projection television including a light generator, a mirror device for reflecting illumination emitted from the light generator thereby changing a path of the illumination, in which a reflection angle of the illumination can be adjusted, and a projection apparatus for enlarging and projecting the image produced in the image producer on the screen by reflecting the image to an incident illumination from the mirror device, wherein the path of the illumination is aligned to correspond to the whole image produced in the image producer to be projected on the screen by adjusting the mirror device.

  • Publication number: 20060114362
    Abstract: An optical engine for a projection apparatus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises an image data input unit, an optical source, an image generator, a projector which projects an image produced by the image generator and light reflected from the image generator onto a screen, an iris unit which controls the quantity of light passing through the projector, and a controller that regulates the optical source, the image generator, and the iris unit based on image data input by the image data input unit. The quantity of light passing through the iris unit can be varied to improve the brightness of the image being projected onto the screen.
