Problems solved by technology

Therefore, there are problems such as increased noise caused by the operation of the fan and a significant increase in power consumption.
[0005] In addition, there has also been a problem that the outside air that has absorbed the heat is released to the outside, but the released outside air is sucked in again by the fan and supplied to the projector, that is, the so-called heat-radiated air is short-circuited, so that effective cooling effect
That is, when the outside air temperature is low, although the optical element group can be sufficiently dissipated by the supplied outside air, but when the outside air temperature is high, it is necessary to increase the air volume of the fan to dissipate heat.
Therefore, there are problems such as increased noise caused by the operation of the fan and a significant increase in power consumption.
[0014] In addition, there has also been a problem that the outside air that has absorbed heat from the light source and the optical element group is released to the outside, but part of the released outside air is sucked in again by the fan and supplied to the liquid crystal projector, that is, the so-called after-heat dissipation. The air in the air is short-circuited, so that the optimal heat dissipation effect of the LCD panel cannot be obtained
[0015] In addition, in recent years, in the liquid crystal projector market for business use, etc., the demand for larger and brighter projected images has increased, and with this, the amount of light emitted by the light source has increased, and the amount of light guided to the optical element group has also increased. , and the heat generation of the optical element group tends to increase
Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to maintain the optical element group below the usual temperature while dissipating heat.

The projector of the embodiment is a liquid crystal projector configured by providing a light source 2, an optical path changing member 3, a color separation optical system 4, an optical element group 5, a projection lens 10, and a cooling device 11 for the optical element group 5 inside a main body 1. p. The main body 1 is a flat box made of a material with excellent heat dissipation, for example, magnesium.

[0205] The light source 2 includes a lamp such as an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, and a reflector for emitting light (divergent light) diverged from the lamp forward. The light source 2 of the embodiment is constituted by attaching a reflector to each of a plurality of (four) lamps, and is accommodated in an unillustrated lamp housing provided in the main body 1 .

[0206] The optical path changing member 3 forms the emitted light from the light...

Embodiment 2

[0257] In addition, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the controller C executes the ventilation operation of opening the external air inlet 32 ​​and the air outlet 33, thereby blocking a part of the passage 30 with each baffle plate 34, 35, and the optical element group 5 is separated in the substantially airtight space 30A formed by the baffles 34 and 35 in the channel 30, but is not limited to the first, second, fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention. When each baffle plate 34,35 opens the external air inlet 32 ​​and the air outlet 33, for example, to Figure 4 A structure in which the optical element group 5 is not separated from the outside air inlet 32 ​​and the air outlet 33 is also effective during the movement in the direction of the arrow indicated by the arrow, that is, during the ventilation operation.

[0258] In this case, when the ventilation operation is performed, although the outside air is also introduced into the channel 30 (space 30A) in w...

The projector is provided with a cooling device (11) provided to a body (1) and functioning as a cooling means, a closed or a substantially closed duct (30) for cooling optical element group (5) by supplying and circulating air cooled by a cooler (18) of the cooling device (11) to the optical element group (5), an outside air introducing opening (32) and an air discharging opening (33) which function as a ventilating means for introducing outside air into the duct (30) and discharging the air in the duct (30), dampers (34, 35) for opening and closing the outside air introducing opening (32) and the air discharging opening (33), and a controller (C) functioning as a controlling means for controlling the dampers (34, 35) to ventilate the inside of the duct (30).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a projector including an optical element group that processes light emitted from a light source based on a video signal and emits the processed video light. [0002] Also, the present invention relates to a projector including a light source, an optical element irradiated with light emitted from the light source, and a projection optical system that projects the light emitted from the optical element. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, such a projector, for example, a liquid crystal projector is configured by mounting a light source, a liquid crystal panel (optical element), a projection lens, and the like in a main body. A liquid crystal panel is generally composed of three liquid crystal panels serving as light valves for processing (modulating) light of each color in accordance with video signals. Then, after the light emitted from the light source is separated into each color light, it is processed (modu...
