Patent number: 8403505Abstract: A projector includes a main body and an optical assembly. The main body forms an image and projects the image to a first screen through a lens of the main body. The optical assembly is detachable from the light path of the lens, and is used for reflecting light beams emitted from the lens to project an image on a second screen when the optical assembly is in the light path of the lens. When the optical assembly is detached from the light path of the lens, the optical assembly projects the image on the first screen. The first screen and the second screen are on two adjacent perpendicular surfaces, such as a wall and a ceiling.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Lung Dai

Patent number: 8248542Abstract: A table type large-size imaging apparatus in which an imaging screen and a reflector are installed in front and rear end positions of a table type case with an inclination angle that extends in directions downwardly away from the upper surface. The reflector and imaging screen are arranged to then reflect an image in a direction parallel to an upper surface of the table type case to allow a viewer to watch an image formed on the screen through a transparent window provided at a top of the table type case. The viewer's watching distance and the image projection distance are overlapped within the table type case, to achieve a maximum screen size with a minimum table size. With this configuration, a viewer who is located close to the imaging apparatus in the form of a table is able to appreciate the vivid large-size image with a downward viewing angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Inventor: Hae-Yong Choi

Publication number: 20120200785Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid crystal displaying apparatus wherein generation of sounds due to vibration of an LED substrate used in an LED backlight is suppressed. The liquid crystal displaying apparatus drives the LED by means of PWM control using the LED backlight. An LED substrate having the LED disposed thereon has a front surface pattern having the LED provided on the mounting surface, and a rear surface pattern provided on the rear surface side of the front surface pattern. The rear surface pattern is not a circuit pattern for driving the LED, but is provided so as to dissipate heat and to prevent warping of the substrate. Furthermore, the rear surface pattern has a structure which is grounded. In the grounded structure, an electrically conductive tape is attached on the rear surface pattern, and electricity is carried by having the electrically conductive tape in contact with a backlight chassis.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2010Publication date: August 9, 2012Inventor: Kentaroh Ohki
