Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention is an optical device which integrates a dimming device for modulating colored light according to image information, a color synthesizing optical element for synthesizing the colored light modulated by the dimming device, and a projector using the optical device. Background technique
[0002] The mounting structure of a liquid crystal panel and a prism in a projector is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-2000-221587 or JP-A-2000-221588. In these publications, some measures are taken to improve the assembly performance and reliability of this part by housing the liquid crystal panel in the display panel frame and attaching it to the prism. At the same time, the cooling of the liquid crystal panel basically relies on the cooling of the air passage provided between the display panel frame and the prism.
[0003] However, in recent years, with the progress of miniaturization and high brightness of projectors, the heat density in the devi...
