  • Patent number: 9857669
    Abstract: A projection type image display device to be used with a mobile terminal has a housing with an upper side case having a reflective mirror attached thereto and an openable mirror cover formed thereon and a lower side case having a plurality of air exhausting openings provided on a side wall surface thereof. A light source is provided for shining image light that has been magnified and projected onto the reflective mirror; and an image is magnified and projected on the basis of the light from the light source. An optical system is disposed within the lower side case parallel to the bottom surface of the case along a central axis of the device, and also an image processing unit, which includes the light source, and a power supply unit are disposed within the lower case symmetrically with the optical system as the center.

  • Patent number: 9846354
    Abstract: A projection video display device, which enlarges and projects an image from an image-displaying means, has a housing and a raisable/lowerable mirror and a power supply, a light source, and a lens unit inside the housing. The raisable/lowerable mirror covers a projection-light opening formed in the top surface of the housing and able to rotate with respect to the housing, and has a convex mirror on the inside surface thereof. The raisable/lowerable mirror covering the top surface of the housing forms a smoothly connected, smooth, convexly curved surface with no height difference between the edge of the raisable/lowerable mirror and the front edge of the opening, and a half-bowl-shaped concavity is formed on at least one side of the raisable/lowerable mirror in the direction of the axis of rotation thereof.

  • Publication number: 20160209739
    Abstract: Without increasing the size of a projection video display device that has a mirror that can be raised and lowered, this invention makes it easy to raise and lower said mirror. In order to do so, this projection video display device, which enlarges and projects an image from an image-displaying means, has a housing (10) and a raisable/lowerable mirror (30) wherein: a power supply, a light source, and a lens unit are accommodated inside the housing (10); said lens unit enlarges light from the light source after said light has been directed to the aforementioned image-displaying means; and the raisable/lowerable mirror (30) covers a projection-light opening (26) formed in the top surface of the housing (10), is provided so as to be able to rotate with respect to the housing (10), and has a convex mirror (110) on the inside surface thereof.

  • Patent number: 8405960
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wall-mountable display apparatus that is simple in structure and excellent in withstand load. In an inner central portion of a rear cover of the display apparatus, a boss bulged towards a display panel is formed integrally with the cover, with a distal end of the boss being fixedly coupled to a base chassis in such a manner that the boss end is opposed to part of the base chassis. The boss is formed in a substantially central position of a mounting region defined by four mounting holes to which wall-mounting metallic fixtures are to be mounted. Alternatively, the boss is formed in a substantially central position of the mounting region in a horizontal direction.
