  • Patent number: 8096663
    Abstract: A projection display device accommodates, in a main body cabinet, a projection lens section to which light modulated by a light modulating element is entered, and a mirror section that reflects light transmitted through the projection lens section and directs the light to a projection plane. When the main body cabinet is mounted on a mounting plane so that the light transmitted through the projection lens section may get away from the mounting plane, a holding member which holds the main body cabinet in a upright state with regard to the mounting plane is mounted on the main body cabinet.

  • Patent number: 7513626
    Abstract: A light source device (18) includes a light source (1) constructed by a light emitter (1a) surrounded by a reflector (2); and a supporting member (20) for holding the reflector (2), and passages of cooling air are formed above and below the reflector (2). First and second openings (21b) and (21a) as passages of cooling air are opened in upper and lower portions, respectively, of the reflector (2). Near the opening (21a) on the lower side, a wind direction switching member (23) is disposed on the supporting member (20). The wind direction switching member (23) makes cooling air from the opening (21a) flow upward to a side of the light emitter (1a) in a state where the supporting member (20) is placed on a desk, and makes the cooling air flow directly to an upper portion of the light emitter (1a) via the opening (21a) in a state where the supporting member (20) is hung from a ceiling.

  • Patent number: 7255446
    Abstract: A projection type video display capable of reducing components in number, and attempting to improve a cooling efficiency and a silencing of the video display is provided. Three cooling fans are provided on a plate member arranged within a chassis of the video display of a liquid crystal projector. The plate member is arranged in such a manner as to be spaced apart from a bottom plate of a chassis of the video display in order to form a single external-air introducing duct. Double-bottomed structure is formed by the plate member, and the plate member is used as a bottom for arranging components. Each cooling fan sucks external air from the single external-air introducing duct, and blows the external air from a blowing duct to an object to be cooled (a light source, a liquid crystal display, and others).

  • Patent number: 7029123
    Abstract: A projector device adapted to project an image-forming beam using a lamp as a light source. The lamp is installed within a rectangular parallelepipedal housing, and an exhaust fan is disposed to the rear of the lamp. The top wall of the housing surrounding the lamp is given an opening pattern asymmetric about the optical axis of the lamp by forming an air inlet opening in a position deviated from the optical axis toward a direction orthogonal to the axis for producing a swirling air current within the housing by operating the exhaust fan. The lamp can be effectively cooled with reduced quantities of air.
