Example Embodiment

[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more obvious and understandable, detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with specific implementations.
[0046] Please refer to figure 1 , Is a schematic diagram of a miniature projector provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and may include:
[0047] The input power identification unit 101 is used to identify the output power of the input power adapter;
[0048] The brightness setting unit 102 is configured to set the brightness of the micro projector according to the output power of the power adapter recognized by the input power recognition unit 101;
[0049] The brightness adjustment unit 103 is configured to adjust the brightness output by the micro projector to the brightness set by the brightness setting unit 102.
[0050] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present invention, the micro projector can identify the output power of the power adapter, set the brightness according to the output power of the power adapter, and adjust the brightness to the set brightness and output. Therefore, regardless of the output power of the power adapter used by the user, the micro projector can automatically adjust the brightness according to the power of the power adapter, which can not only prevent the performance of the micro projector from being affected due to insufficient output power of the power adapter, but also avoid the power adapter from being overpowered. Safety problems occur during load work, and at the same time, if the output power of the power adapter used by the user does not match the brightness of the micro projector, the user does not need to equip the micro projector with a special power adapter, saving the cost of use.
[0051] Please refer to figure 2 , Is a schematic diagram of a miniature projector provided in the second embodiment of the present invention, which may include:
[0052] The access unit 201 of the power adapter is used to provide power for the micro projector;
[0053] The input power identification unit 101 is used to identify the output power of the power adapter;
[0054] Assume that the output part of the 65-watt power adapter has a grounding resistance, and the output part of the 90-watt power adapter is floating or connected to a high level. When the input power recognition unit 101 detects that the output pin of the power adapter is low, it recognizes that the power of the power adapter is 65 watts. When the input power recognition unit 101 detects that the output pin of the power adapter is floating or high power In normal state, it is recognized that the power of the power adapter is 90 watts.
[0055] The brightness setting unit 102 is used to set the brightness of the light emitting diode of the micro projector according to the output power of the power adapter;
[0056] The brightness of the micro-projector is achieved by turning on three light-emitting diodes of red, green and blue at high frequencies at the same time or separately. By controlling the register of each light-emitting diode, the display brightness of the light-emitting diode can be controlled, that is, after the value of the register of each light-emitting diode is set, the display brightness of the light-emitting diode is fixed. In the embodiment of the present invention, the brightness setting unit 102 is pre-configured with a correspondence table. In the correspondence table, the first set of values ​​of the register corresponds to the first output power, and the second set of values ​​of the register corresponds to the second output power. Provide the brightness of two light-emitting diodes by setting the value of this register. Still taking a power adapter with an output power of 90 watts and a power adapter with an output power of 65 watts as examples, suppose that in the correspondence table, the first set of values ​​in the register corresponds to 90 watts, and the second set of values ​​in the register corresponds to 65 watts. When the identified power adapter is a power adapter with an output power of 90 watts, the brightness setting unit 102 searches the corresponding table and selects the first set of values. When the identified power adapter is a power adapter with an output power of 65 watts, The brightness setting unit 102 looks up the correspondence table and selects the second set of values. For example: assuming that the first set of values ​​of the register are 40, 26, 45, and each register in the register corresponds to the red, green, and blue LEDs, the output brightness of the micro projector is 90 lumens.
[0057] The brightness setting unit 102 can also set the brightness of the light emitting diode in the following manner. The brightness setting unit 102 selects the first set of registers or the second set of registers according to the identified output power. The value of the first set of registers is used to make the display brightness of the light emitting diode in the first state, and the value of the second set of registers is used to make The display brightness of the light emitting diode is in the second state. The brightness setting unit 102 turns on the light-emitting diodes according to different selected registers.
[0058] The brightness adjustment unit 103 is configured to adjust the output brightness of the micro projector to the brightness set by the brightness setting unit 102 and output.
[0059] When the power of the power adapter is 90 watts, the display brightness of the light-emitting diode set by the brightness setting unit 102 is relatively high, and the brightness adjustment unit 103 adjusts the brightness of the micro projector to high lumens (for example, 100 lumens) and outputs. When the power of the power adapter is 65 watts, the display brightness of the light emitting diode set by the brightness setting unit 102 is low, and the brightness adjustment unit 103 adjusts the brightness of the micro projector to a low lumens (for example: 75 lumens) and outputs.
[0060] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the input power source identification unit 101 may include:
[0061] The detection unit 202 is used to detect the output pin of the power adapter;
[0062] The input power identification sub-unit 203 is used to identify that the output power of the power adapter is the first value (for example: 65 watts) when the detection unit 202 detects that the output pin of the power adapter is low, and when the detection unit 202 detects When the output pin of the power adapter is floating or high, it is recognized that the power of the power adapter is the second value (for example, 90 watts).
[0063] The brightness setting unit 102 may include:
[0064] The register value setting unit 204 is configured to set the value of the register of the light emitting diode according to the output power recognized by the recognition unit 101;
[0065] The brightness setting subunit 205 is used to set the brightness of the micro projector according to the value set by the register value setting unit.
[0066] Alternatively, the brightness setting unit 102 may include:
[0067] The switch unit (not shown) is used to select the first set of registers or the second set of registers according to the output power recognized by the input power source identification unit, and the value of the first set of registers is used to make the display brightness of the light emitting diode In the first state, the value of the second set of registers is used to make the display brightness of the light emitting diode in the second state;
[0068] The conduction unit (not shown in the figure) is configured to conduct the light emitting diode according to the first group of registers or the second group of registers selected by the switch unit.
[0069] The brightness adjustment unit 103 may include:
[0070] The first brightness adjustment unit 206 is configured to adjust the brightness output by the micro projector to high lumens according to the brightness of the light emitting diode set by the brightness setting unit 102;
[0071] The second brightness adjustment unit 207 is configured to adjust the brightness output by the micro projector to a low lumen according to the brightness of the light emitting diode set by the brightness setting unit 102.
[0072] The third embodiment of the present invention also provides a portable device, the portable device includes a micro projector, and the portable device includes:

Therefore, regardless of the output power of the power adapter used by the user, the micro projector can automatically adjust the brightness according to the power of the power adapter, which can not only prevent the performance of the micro projector from being affected due to insufficient output power of the power adapter, but also avoid the power adapter from being overpowered. Safety problems occur during load work, and at the same time, if the output power of the power adapter used by the user does not match the brightness of the micro projector, the user does not need to equip the micro projector with a special power adapter, saving the cost of use.

Therefore, regardless of the output power of the power adapter used by the user, the micro projector can automatically adjust the brightness according to the output power of the power adapter, which can not only prevent the performance of the micro projector from being affected due to insufficient output power of the power adapter, but also avoid the power adapter due to insufficient output power.
