A projector device-of the present invention includes a light blocking mechanism for blocking leak light from a lamp unit. The light blocking mechanism includes a first light blocking member having a plurality of first light blocking plates arranged therein at certain pitches, and a second light blocking member having a plurality of second light blocking plates arranged therein at certain pitches. The first light blocking plates and the second light blocking plates each define a gap providing an air flow passage. A flat inclined part of each second light blocking plate extends in an inverted direction to a flat inclined part of each first light blocking plate, with a predetermined angle of inclination, so that the first light blocking plates and the second light blocking plates block the light emitted from the lamp unit toward a vent of a casing in all orientations.

Projector device

A liquid crystal projector device of the present invention includes three image generating units for generating image light of three primary colors. Each image generating unit has a polarizing plate and an optical compensating plate held by a combination frame and placed on a support base. The combination frame includes a polarizing plate frame for holding the polarizing plate, and a compensating plate frame for holding the optical compensating plate. The polarizing plate frame is supported on the support base via a rotation adjustment mechanism for rotating the polarizing plate about the optical axis, while the compensating plate frame is supported on the polarizing plate frame via an inclination adjustment mechanism for inclining the optical compensating plate by rotating the optical compensating plate about two axes perpendicular to the optical axis and perpendicular to each other.

Liquid crystal projector device

A projection type video display capable of reducing components in number, and attempting to improve a cooling efficiency and a silencing of the video display is provided. Three cooling fans are provided on a plate member arranged within a chassis of the video display of a liquid crystal projector. The plate member is arranged in such a manner as to be spaced apart from a bottom plate of a chassis of the video display in order to form a single external-air introducing duct. Double-bottomed structure is formed by the plate member, and the plate member is used as a bottom for arranging components. Each cooling fan sucks external air from the single external-air introducing duct, and blows the external air from a blowing duct to an object to be cooled (a light source, a liquid crystal display, and others).
