  • Publication number: 20130342765
    Abstract: A video display device includes: a video processing unit including a light source and optical components, which generates and displaying video signals; and a cooling mechanism unit cooling the light source and the optical components, wherein the cooling mechanism unit includes an air cooling fan generating cooling air for cooling the optical components to be circulated in the device, a heat exchanger arranged in a flow path of the circulating cooling air, performing heat exchange of the cooling air obtained after the cooling of the optical components from a high temperature to a low temperature, a cooler cooling heat generated in the light source and heat generated in the heat exchanger by a cooling liquid, and a circulating thermal regulator circulating the cooling liquid with respect to the cooler while managing a liquid temperature of the cooling liquid so as to be a constant temperature.

  • Patent number: 7320523
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel in which temperature rise of the liquid crystal panel is sufficiently restrained by cooling the panel by means of a cooling liquid, and exudation of the cooling liquid toward the liquid crystal material is prevented. Disclosed are cover members attached to the liquid crystal panel that form cavities on the light entrance and exit sides of the panel. The cover members are such that a sealed portion of the liquid crystal material is not in contact with the cavities. The cover members are light transmitting. The cavities are filled with the cooling liquid.
