  • Patent number: 11895402
    Abstract: An actuator is configured to drive an imaging lens system. The actuator includes a frame portion configured to accommodate the imaging lens system, a supporting portion disposed on the frame portion, a driving portion configured to drive the imaging lens system to move, an optical mark structure disposed on part of the frame portion, the supporting portion or the driving portion and a liquid disposed on the optical mark structure. The supporting portion is configured to support the imaging lens system and give the imaging lens system a degree of freedom of movement with respect to the frame portion. The optical mark structure includes a plurality of optical mark units arranged side by side. The liquid is in physical contact with the imaging lens system, the frame portion, the supporting portion or the driving portion that is adjacent to the optical mark structure.

  • Patent number: 10095096
    Abstract: A projector, a light source controller, and a light source control method are provided. The projector includes a light source, a wavelength conversion device, and a light source controller. The light source is adapted to provide a light beam. The wavelength conversion device is adapted to convert a wavelength of the light beam into a plurality of converted wavelengths. The light source controller includes a controller and a selector. The controller is adapted to receive a synchronization signal, and generate an enable signal and a plurality of indication signals according to the synchronization signal. The enable signal has a plurality of pulses, and there is an interval time between adjacent two pulses. The selector is adapted to select one of the control voltages according to the enable signal and the indication signals to generate a light source control signal.

  • Publication number: 20180284588
    Abstract: An autofocus method for a projector is provided. A projection lens of the projector projects at least projecting one image. The image includes a correction image. The projection lens has a focal length. The autofocus method includes: projecting the correction image; capturing the correction image; capturing a luminance parameter value of the correction image; controlling the focal length of the projection lens according to the luminance parameter value, wherein a process of controlling the focal length of the projection lens according to the luminance parameter value comprises a coarse adjustment phase and a fine adjustment phase, and the luminance parameter value changes with the adjustment of the focal length of the projection lens; and finding a maximum of the luminance parameter value. An autofocus system and a projector having the autofocus system are also provided.
