  • Publication number: 20150371841
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a light source device comprises an arc tube having a first sealing portion extending from a light emission portion. A reflection mirror is attached to neighbor the first sealing portion and has a concave reflection surface. A container accommodates the arc tube and the reflection mirror. A branch portion has a first opening which branches a part of a cooling air flowing within the container to guide the cooling air to the arc tube. First and second duct portions are each connected to the branch portion. The first and second duct portions extend along a center axis of a light reflected by the reflection mirror such that the air flows in a direction opposite to a traveling direction of the light reflected by the reflection surface. A guiding member directs the air toward the first or second duct portion by moving by its own weight.

  • Patent number: 8596797
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a light source device comprises a container with a duct unit disposed above an arc tube and extends along the center axis of light reflected by a reflection surface such that cooling air can flow in a direction opposite to the traveling direction of light reflected by the reflection surface. The duct unit includes a first opening disposed at a position shifted toward the traveling direction side from an opening end of the first reflection mirror, a wall portion which forms the edge of the first opening on the side opposite to the traveling direction side as a final end of the duct unit, and an inclined portion disposed in the vicinity of the edge of the first opening on the traveling direction side to bend the flowing direction of the cooling air toward an upper surface opposite to the surface having the first opening.
