  • Patent number: 7618145
    Abstract: A heat dissipation device of a projector for transmitting the heat from a lamp out of the projector, the heat dissipation device comprises a fan, a diversion duct, and a division vane. The diversion duct is used for changing the direction of the air flow that generated by the fan to a second direction from a first direction; and the division vane is disposed within the diversion duct for splitting the air flow to discharge the air flow with uniform distributing heat off the diversion duct.

  • Patent number: 7149041
    Abstract: An optical engine includes a light source, an optical main body and a projection lens. The optical main body includes a reflective light valve, a case, a first heat-dissipating device and a heat-insulating device. The reflective light valve reflects the incident light beam to form an image light beam or a dumped light beam that is not projected into the projection lens. The case encloses the light paths of the incident light beam, the image light beam and the dumped light beam. An opening is on the case for the dumped light beam to be projected into. A first heat-dissipating device is fixed on the case and covers the opening for removing the heat generated by the dumped light beam. A heat-insulating device is disposed between the first heat-dissipating device and the case for preventing the heat conduction between the first heat-dissipating device and the case.
