  • Publication number: 20170003578
    Abstract: The invention discloses an oscillating lens module and a projector. The oscillating lens module includes a frame, a first coil, a lens, and a second coil. The first coil and the second coil are connected to the frame and located in a magnetic field, wherein the first coil and the second coil are adapted to be electrified and to oscillate about a first axis and a second axis respectively via the magnetic field. The lens is connected to the first coil, wherein the lens is adapted to oscillate along with the first coil. An oscillation phase of the second coil is opposite to an oscillation phase of the first coil, such that forces applied on the frame by the first coil and the second coil are counterbalanced, so as to prevent the oscillating lens module from over vibrating which makes projection images shake and makes noise.

  • Patent number: 9503700
    Abstract: A phosphor wheel includes a rotating disk and a wavelength converting layer. The rotating disk has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, in which the first surface forms a coating region and a non-coating region. The wavelength converting layer is formed on the coating region of the first surface for converting a light wavelength of a light beam. In addition, an embodiment of the invention discloses a projection device having the phosphor wheel. When the rotating disk of the phosphor wheel rotates, the recess portion may disturb the air around the phosphor wheel such that the temperature of the wavelength converting layer may be effectively decreased. Simultaneously, the rotating disk has a stable dynamic balance and the rotating disk has a larger heat dissipating region because the recess portion is disposed on the rotating disk.
