A projection display device includes a light source, a reflector, and a fixing portion. The device further includes a first air supply portion and a second air supply portion; a first air drawing portion which separates the cooling air from the first air supply portion into streams of the cooling air to guide one of the streams into an interior of the reflector in a first direction and to guide the other of the streams to the fixing portion in a second direction; and a second air drawing portion which separates the cooling air from the second air supply portion into streams of the cooling air to guide one of the streams into the interior of the reflector in a third direction and to guide the other of the streams to the fixing portion in a fourth direction.

Projection display device

A projector apparatus equipped with a metal plate structure serving as a light shield against a light source and as a heat radiator is provided. The metal plate structure is arranged over the light source to hide the light source. The metal plate structure extends farther to a cooling fan and connects to the upper end of the air expiration face of the fan. The metal plate structure thus serves as the top plate of the baffle section of the exhaust duct of the fan for leading the air expired from the fan. The metal plate structure also serves as a shield plate, which can be connected to a grounded metal piece.

A projector apparatus and a lamp fixation structure for use with the projector apparatus are disclosed. The lamp fixation structure has a lower holder, which includes an integrally formed lower holder lens section and a lower holder lamp section. The lower holder lens section defines a lens fitting slot for fixing a lens, and a lower holder lamp section defines a lamp fitting slot for fixing a lamp. The lens fixing slot includes an upper holder connected to the lower holder. The lamp fixation structure also includes an integrally formed metal holder, which has an elastic top plate, elastic lateral plates, a front plate, an elastic bottom plate, and elastic jointing plates. The inventive lamp fixation structure of the projector apparatus consists of a fewer components and can be assembled in a simple manner, yet it is highly wrought.

The invention enables efficient cooling of: a light source providing source light; an optical system adapted to split the source light received from the light source into three primary colors R, G, and B; and a power supply unit for supplying electric power to various electric components installed in a casing of a projector apparatus. To do so, a first fan is arranged between the light source and the power supply unit such that its air inspiration face is directed to the power supply unit and its air expiration face is directed to the light source. Further, a second fan, adapted to inspire air from within the projector apparatus, is provided in the central area of the projector apparatus. On the air expiration side of the second fan is a cooling duct for cooling the light source and optical system. In addition, a third fan for cooling a G-LCP unit and an R-LCP unit of the image synthesizing device and a fourth fan for cooling a B-LCP and an R-LCP unit of the image synthesizing device are provided in such a way that the streams of air expired from said third and fourth fans intersect each other. The invention allows operation of a projector apparatus with a fewer fans, yet achieves suppression of exhaust air temperature and noise, and cost reduction as well.

Projector apparatus

The projector apparatus of the invention constructs colored imaging light by splitting a beam of light received from a light source into beams of three primary colors and inputting the beams of three primary colors in an image synthesizing device via light adjusting device. The image synthesizing device includes a prism, a prism mount for fixing the prism, LCPs, and LCP holders integral with the prism mounts for fixing the LCPs. The prism mount has a central area and multiple peripheral areas, each area in contact with the prism. The invention provides effective solution for solving reliability problems encountered in a cost reduction strategy for miniaturization of a prism and for using inexpensive plastic prism fixation members.
