Patent number: 11852961Abstract: A projection device, a projection system and a method for calibrating projected image are provided. The projection device and an external projection device the same image source and respectively project an image and another image corresponding to the image source. The same portion of the image source where the two images overlap each other forms an overlapping area. The projection device includes a lens, a light shielding member and a processor. The light shielding member is disposed on the lens. The processor controls the light shielding member to selectively shade a partial area of the lens according to the brightness of the image source, wherein the partial area corresponds to the overlapping area.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: BenQ CorporationInventors: Chin-Fu Chiang, Tung-Chia Chou, Chang-Sheng Lee

Patent number: 11249377Abstract: A projector includes a lens, a first base, a lock member, a second base and a first fixing member. The lens includes at least one adjusting member. The first base is disposed with respect to the lens. The lock member is disposed on the at least one adjusting member. The second base is disposed with respect to the lock member. When the first fixing member fixes the second base to the first base, the second base pushes the lock member, such that the lock member forces the at least one adjusting member on the lens tightly.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignees: BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, BENQ CORPORATIONInventors: Chin-Fu Chiang, Tung-Chia Chou

Patent number: 11221550Abstract: A projection device includes a laser light source and a wavelength conversion assembly. The laser light source is configured to emit a first laser light having a first wavelength. The wavelength conversion assembly is configured to convert a first portion of the first laser light into a second laser light, wherein the second laser light has a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. The second laser light is reflected back to an upstream optical path of the wavelength conversion assembly through the wavelength conversion assembly, and a second portion of the first laser light is reflected to a downstream optical path of the wavelength conversion assembly through the wavelength conversion assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignees: BENQ CORPORATION, BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., LtdInventors: Chen-Cheng Huang, Tung-Chia Chou

Publication number: 20210281808Abstract: A projection system includes a plurality of projection units, a sensing module and a processing unit. The projection units project a plurality of images. The sensing module senses a current optical parameter of each of the images to obtain a plurality of current optical parameters. The processing unit communicates with the projection units and the sensing module. The processing unit receives the current optical parameters from the sensing module, determines a target optical parameter according to the current optical parameters, and transmits a control signal to each of the projection units. Each of the projection units adjusts the current optical parameter to the target optical parameter in response to the control signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Chen-Cheng Huang, Tung-Chia Chou
