  • Patent number: 11323668
    Abstract: A projection device and a controlling method of the projection device are provided. The projection device includes a light emitting module, a driver, a light valve, a projection lens and a processor. The light emitting module generates a light beam according to a driving current respectively. The driver generates the driving current and transmit the driving current to the light emitting module according to an operating signal. The light valve receives the light beam to form an image light beam. The projection lens projects the image light beam. The processor provides the operating signal with a default period to the driver and provides an operation of the light valve. According to the operating signal or the operation of the light valve, the driver generates the driving current lower than a default current during a first time interval in the default period.

  • Publication number: 20200099901
    Abstract: A projection device and a light source module thereof and a method for synchronizing a wavelength conversion wheel and a filter wheel are provided. A rotation state of the wavelength conversion wheel and a rotation state of the filter wheel are detected to generate a first position signal and a second position signal, respectively. A control unit is used to control one of the wavelength conversion wheel and the filter wheel to rotate. A micro control unit is used to control the other one of the wavelength conversion wheel and the filter wheel to rotate according to the first position signal and the second position signal, so that the wavelength conversion wheel and the filter wheel rotate synchronously. The disclosure enables the wavelength conversion wheel and the filter wheel to synchronize in the circumstances where the control unit only supports controlling of one wavelength conversion wheel or filter wheel.
