  • Publication number: 20230371198
    Abstract: A cooling device includes a base material providing a heating element on a first surface and a heat exchanger on a second surface opposite to the first surface, the heat exchanger receiving heat from the heating element to perform heat exchange with a refrigerant, and a case material including a refrigerant inflow port and a refrigerant outflow port, the refrigerant inflow port supplying the refrigerant to the heat exchanger. The case material is attachable to the base material in two forms of a first form and a second form, the first form being a form in which the refrigerant inflow port and the refrigerant outflow port are attached to the base material in a first direction, and the second form being a form in which the refrigerant inflow port and the refrigerant outflow port are attached to the base material in a second direction different from the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11388377
    Abstract: The display device includes a light source unit that emits light, a first display element, and a second display element. The display device further includes a light separating and synthesizing member that separates the light emitted from the light source unit into first light and second light having different wavelength regions, emits the first light toward the first display element, emits the second light toward the second display element, and synthesizes the first light that has been reflected and modulated by the first display element and the second light that has been reflected and modulated by the second display element. The display device further includes a light absorbing member that covers a part of the first display element. The light absorbing member absorbs a part of the modulated second light reflected by the second display element and directed toward the first display element.
