Patent number: 8562144Abstract: An image projection device includes a replaceable air filter placed near an opening of a housing, a switcher for switching step by step a working area of the air filter, an air-speed meter for detecting a pollution level of the air filter, and a controller for controlling the switcher. When the air-speed meter detects that the pollution level of the air filter reaches a given threshold, the controller prompts the switcher to switch the working area of the air filter, and then detects a pollution level of the air filter after the switchover for determining whether or not the working area before the switchover needs to be switched.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2011Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yoshinobu Nakajima, Mamoru Nomoto, Masaya Yamamoto

Patent number: 8403498Abstract: A housing (17) that accommodates a light source (1), a display device (3), etc. has an intake aperture (18) and an exhaust aperture (24). A blowing unit (16, 23) sucks air in through the intake aperture and expels air out through the exhaust aperture. A filter unit (19) is disposed so that a filter (20) faces the intake aperture in a predetermined area between a rolling shaft (31a) and a take-up shaft (31b). A part of the filter facing the intake aperture is renewed by taking-up the filter from the rolling shaft onto the take-up shaft. A control unit (36) performs control so as to renew the filter for a range that is smaller than an opening area of the intake aperture, when a predetermined renewal condition is determined to be satisfied, based on the output of a detection unit (38, 39a, 39b) that detects a specific factor value relating to contamination of the filter, such as a cumulative display time, a temperature, an air pressure, etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Mitsuru Kotaka, Shigekazu Yamagishi, Yoshinobu Nakajima, Toshiyuki Noguchi, Yoshinari Matsumoto, Kenji Kunitake
