Patent number: 8602598Abstract: A light source cooling device includes a light source module, an inner casing, an outer casing, and a plurality of spacers. The inner casing encloses an accommodation space for accommodating the light source module. The outer casing surrounds the inner casing and has a gap included between an inner wall of the inner casing and the outer casing, wherein the inner casing and the outer casing are made of materials with different thermal conductivity coefficients. The inner wall of the inner casing, an outer wall of the outer casing, and the spacers together form a plurality of heat-dissipating passages. The inner wall absorbs the heat generated by the light source module and generates a temperature gradient between the inner wall and the outer wall, which assists in creating thermal convection to exhaust the heat.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Lextar Electronics Corp.Inventors: Sheng-Shing Duan, Shih-Chin Chou
