The magnitude of the Lorentz force can be proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field lines (magnetic flux density), the amount of current, and the length of the wound coil, and the direction of the force can be perpendicular to the plane formed by the magnetic flux density and the current.
[0135] Therefore, the diaphragm 191g of the first speaker unit 191 can vibrate up and down. Corresponding to the vibration of the diaphragm 191g, the air inside the speaker housing 190 also resonates, thereby changing its pressure.
[0136] The second speaker unit 192 may be located in the second hole 1902 of the speaker housing 190. The second speaker unit 192 may include a speaker frame 192F, a yoke 192a, a magnet 192b, a plate 192c, a spool 192d, a coil, a diaphragm 192g, a damper 192h, and an edge 192i.

[0139] Magnet 192b can be disposed inside yoke 192a. Magnet 192b can be cylindrical. Plate 192c can be located on magnet 192b and can be circular.
[0140] The bobbin 192d can be located in the air gap between the plate 192c and the yoke 192a, and can have a hollow cylindrical shape. A coil can be formed on the outer circumference of the bobbin 192d, and can be called a voice coil. The coil can be connected to tin-plated copper wire.
[0141] A diaphragm 192g can be attached to the upper part of the spool 192d. The diaphragm 192g can be conical in shape. Alternatively, the diaphragm 192g can also be dome-shaped or plate-shaped. A conical diaphragm 192g can be referred to as a cone diaphragm 192g. A dust cover 192gg can cover the diaphragm 192g and the spool 192d. One side of a resilient damper 192h can be fixed to the mounting part 192FF of the speaker frame 192F, and the other side of the damper 192h can be fixed to the spool 192d. The damper 192h can have a wave-like shape to support the vibration of the diaphragm 192g.
[0142] Edge 192i connects the edge of diaphragm 192g to speaker frame 192F. Edge 192i can be elastic to support the vibration of diaphragm 192g. Edge 192i can be ring-shaped or have an inverted U-shaped cross-section. Edge 192i can be referred to as wrap edge 192i.
[0143] If magnetic field lines are formed in the air gap between magnet 192b and yoke 192a, and current flows in the coil formed in the shaft 192d, a Lorentz force may be generated. The magnitude of the Lorentz force can be proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field lines (magnetic flux density), the amount of current, and the length of the wound coil, and the direction of the force can be perpendicular to the plane formed by the magnetic flux density and the current.
[0144] Therefore, the diaphragm 192g of the second speaker unit 192 can vibrate up and down. Corresponding to the vibration of the diaphragm 192g, the air inside the speaker housing 190 also resonates, thereby changing its pressure.

The cross-section of the hinge shaft 37 may have a partially cut circular shape, and the side surface of the hinge shaft 37 may include curved surfaces and flat surfaces. Threads may be formed on the side surface of the hinge shaft 37. The hinge shaft 37 may pass through the hole 351H of the first part 351, the hole 361H of the body 361 of the connector 36, and the hole 352H of the second part 352. A plurality of holes 351H and 352H may have shapes corresponding to the cross-section of the hinge shaft 37, and hole 361H may be a circular hole. Thus, the rotation of the fixed seat 35 centered on the hinge shaft 37 can be restricted, and the connector 36 can rotate about axis A of the hinge shaft 37.
[0213] The fixing member 38, such as the nut, can be fastened to the end of the hinge shaft 37. The head 37H of the hinge shaft 37 can face the first part 351 of the fixing seat 35, and the fixing member 38 can face the second part 352 of the fixing seat 35. Thus, the joint 36 can be rotatably connected to the fixing seat 35 and the hinge shaft 37.
[0214] At least one disc spring 37D may be disposed between the first portion 351 of the mounting base 35 and the head 37H of the hinge shaft 37, the body of the hinge shaft 37 extending through the disc spring 37D.

A washer 37R may be disposed between the first portion 351 and the head 37H of the hinge shaft 37. The washer 37R may be disposed between the second portion 352 and the fixing member 38.
[0215] Thus, the connector 36 can be disposed between a plurality of portions 351, 352 of the fixed base 35. Due to the frictional force between the connector 36 and the plurality of portions 351, 352, the connector 36 can maintain a predetermined angle relative to the hinge axis 37. If a predetermined force greater than the frictional force is applied to the connector 36, the connector 36 can rotate. By adjusting the fastening length of the hinge axis 37 and the fixing member 38, the frictional force between the connector 36 and the plurality of portions 351, 352 can be adjusted.
[0216] A groove 35G can be formed in either the first portion 351 or the second portion 352 of the mounting base 35.

[0217] If, corresponding to the rotation of the connector 36 relative to the hinge axis 37, the protrusion 364 engages with one or the other end of the groove 35G, the rotation of the connector 36 can be restricted. With the hinge axis 37 as a reference, the angle between said one end and said other end of the groove 35G can be greater than 90 degrees. The end of the groove 35G can be located in a counterclockwise direction (CCW) from the length axis of the connector 36 (refer to...). Figure 35 The position is spaced at a first angle θa.

The retaining body 320 and / or the sleeve 322 can be made of conductive materials such as metal. The head 10 can be electrically grounded to the base 40 via the support plate 31 and the rod 30 (and vice versa).
[0281] Reference Figure 1, Figure 52 and Figure 53 The angle of the head 10 of the projection device 1 can be adjusted.
[0282] Reference Figure 1 The head 10 can be configured perpendicularly to the rod 30. The lens 14L of the head 10 can face forward, and the cover 10C of the head 10 can face upward. The head 10 can project images (including video) forward (see reference). Figure 1 The head 10 can output sound upwards (see P). Figure 1 (S).
[0283] Reference Figure 52 The head 10 can be obtained from Figure 1 The head 10 rotates approximately 90 degrees backward. The lens 14L of the head 10 can face upward, and the cover 10C of the head 10 can face backward. The head 10 can project an image (including a video) upward (see reference). Figure 52 (P). That is, head 10 can project images (including video) toward the ceiling. Head 10 can output sound to the rear (see P). Figure 52 (S). On the other hand, the lighting module L can, for example, shine light onto the wall W. Due to the light from the lighting module L, the atmosphere of the space where the projection device 1 is located can be changed. The brightness and color of the light from the lighting module L can be adjusted.
[0284] Reference Figure 53 The head 10 can be obtained from Figure 1 The head 10 rotates forward approximately 15 degrees. The lens 14L of the head 10 can tilt downwards from the front, and the cover 10C of the head 10 can tilt forwards from the top. An image (including a video) can be projected from the front of the head 10 downwards (see reference). Figure 53 (P). That is, the height of the image projected from the head 10 can be smoothly adjusted by adjusting the angle of the head 10. Sound can be output from the upper side of the head 10 at an angle towards the front (see P). Figure 53 (S).
[0285] Therefore, the image projection direction and sound projection direction of the head 10 can be adjusted. In addition, the projection device 1 can also function as a lighting device.
[0286] Reference Figure 54 The position and size of the image projected onto the wall W can be adjusted based on the distance between the projection device 1 and the wall W, and the angle of the head 10. For example, the wall W can be a fixed structure between the floor where the projection device 1 is placed and the ceiling of the indoor space where the projection device 1 is located.
[0287] Reference Figure 54(a) The head 10 of the projection device 1 can be perpendicular to the rod 30, which can be referred to as the 0-degree posture of the head 10. The projection device 1 can be separated from the wall W by a first distance D11, and can project an image toward the wall W. The bottom line of the image projected by the projection device 1 can be parallel to the horizontal direction, and the top line of the image can form a predetermined angle θ10 with respect to the bottom line. The bottom line can be located at a first height Da relative to the floor on which the projection device 1 is placed. The image projected onto the wall W (refer to...) Figure 54 The Sa) can be relatively high above the floor (refer to) Figure 54 The Da), can be placed slightly away from the ceiling (see reference). Figure 54 (H11). For example, the size of the image projected onto the wall can correspond to a 100-inch screen.
[0288] Reference Figure 54 (b) The head 10 of the projection device 1 can be lowered slightly forward; this state can be referred to as the +15-degree head 10 posture. The projection device 1 can be separated from the wall W by a second distance D12, and can project an image onto the wall W. The second distance D12 can be greater than the first distance D11. The image projected onto the wall W (see reference) Figure 54 Sb) can be slightly away from the floor (see reference) Figure 54 The Db can be relatively far from the ceiling (refer to...) Figure 54 (H12). For example, the size of the image projected onto the wall can correspond to a 100-inch screen.
[0289] Reference Figure 54 (c) The head 10 of the projection device 1 can tilt significantly backward, which can be referred to as the -90-degree head 10 posture. The projection device 1 can be separated from the wall W by a third distance D13, and can project an image onto the ceiling. The third distance D13 can be less than or greater than distances D11 and D12. The image projected onto the ceiling (see...) Figure 54 The size of the image projected onto the ceiling can be determined based on the distance between the head 10 and the ceiling. For example, the size of the image projected onto the ceiling can correspond to a 40-inch screen.
[0290] Reference Figure 55 The control unit CL of the projection device 1 can be electrically connected to the projector P, the illumination module L, and the speaker 19. The control unit CL can control the operation of the projector P, the illumination module L, and the speaker 19. For example, the control unit CL can be located on the mainboard 18 (see reference). Figure 23 ).
[0291] The projector P, the lighting module L, and the speaker 19 can be driven independently of each other. For example, the projector P can be driven, and each of the lighting module L and the speaker 19 can be driven or not driven. For example, the lighting module L can be driven, and each of the projector P and the speaker 19 can be driven or not driven. For example, the speaker 19 can be driven, and each of the projector P and the lighting module L can be driven or not driven. For example, the image of the projector P and the sound of the speaker 19 can correspond to each other.
[0292] The projector P, lighting module L, and speaker 19 can be connected via communication module 10W (see reference). Figure 26 The projector P can be wirelessly connected to an external terminal. The projector P can be driven or stopped by the external terminal. The projector P can generate and output images based on information received from the external terminal. The projector P can transmit information about the images generated by the projector P to the external terminal. The lighting module L can be driven or stopped by an external terminal. The lighting module L can adjust the color, brightness, etc., of the light based on information received from the external terminal. The lighting module L can transmit information about the light generated by the lighting module L to the external terminal. The speaker 19 can output sound based on information received from the external terminal. The speaker 19 can transmit information about the sound output by the speaker 19 to the external terminal.
[0293] Thus, the projection device 1 can provide at least one of images (including video), sound, and lighting.
[0294] Reference Figure 56 Interface 13 can be located in the center of the cover 10C of head 10. Touch panel 131 can form the outer surface of interface 13. Backlight unit 130 of interface 13 can provide light to touch panel 131, thereby allowing touch panel 131 to emit light. Not only can the on / off state of touch panel 131 be adjusted, but also the color and brightness of the light emitted by touch panel 131 can be adjusted. (Refer to...) Figure 55 The backlight unit 130 can be driven independently of the aforementioned projector P, lighting module L, and speaker 19.
[0295] On the other hand, the color and brightness of the light from the touch panel 131 can be adjusted independently of the color and brightness of the light from the illumination module L. Alternatively, the color and brightness of the light from the touch panel 131 can be synchronized with the color and brightness of the light from the illumination module L. Alternatively, the color and brightness of the light from the touch panel 131 can be adjusted correspondingly to the color and brightness of the light from the illumination module L.
[0296] Reference Figures 57 to 59A plurality of icons 13N can be formed on the touch panel 131. The user can control the head 10 by touching the icons 13N. The icons 13N can be referred to as buttons 13N. Alternatively, the user can control the head 10 using a remote controller that is wirelessly connected to the head 10.
[0297] The first button 13Na can be a (Bluetooth) speaker mode button. The second button 13Nb can be a projection mode button. The third button 13Nc can be a lighting (ambient light) mode button. The fourth button 13Nd can be a select (confirm) / power button. The fifth button 13Ne can be a back button. The sixth button 13Nf can be a four-way button. The sixth button 13Nf can consist of an upward arrow, a downward arrow, a leftward arrow, and a rightward arrow. A user pressing button 13N for less than a specified time is called a short press. A user pressing button 13N for more than a specified time is called a long press. The specified time can be approximately 1.3 seconds.
[0298] For example, a user can briefly press the first button 13Na. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly while the head 10 is only connected to power (Case 1), the speaker 19 can be turned on and switched to Bluetooth pairing ready state. For example, the last device connected to the speaker 19 can automatically connect to the speaker 19 via Bluetooth. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly while the speaker 19 is on (Case 2), the Bluetooth connection between the device connected to the speaker 19 and the speaker 19 can be released, and the speaker 19 can switch to Bluetooth pairing ready state. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly while the projector P is on (Case 3), a pop-up message will appear ( Figure 59 The pop-up message (serial number 1) can be displayed on the OSD (On Screen Display: on-screen menu adjustment mode). The OSD can be displayed on the image projected by the projector P. Regarding the pop-up message, the user can select "Yes" to end the project mode and switch to speaker mode, or select "No" to close the pop-up message. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly while the lighting mode is on (Case 4), the speaker 19 can be turned on and switched to Bluetooth pairing ready state. For example, the last device connected to the speaker 19 can automatically connect to the speaker 19 via Bluetooth. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly while the speaker 19 and lighting mode are on (Case 5), the Bluetooth connection between the device connected to the speaker 19 and the speaker 19 can be terminated, and the speaker 19 can switch to Bluetooth pairing ready state.
[0299] For example, a user can press and hold the first button 13Na. If the first button 13Na is pressed and held while the speaker 19 is on (Case 6), the speaker 19 can be turned off. If the first button 13Na is pressed and held while the speaker 19 and the lighting mode are on (Case 7), the speaker 19 can be turned off.
[0300] For example, a user can briefly press the second button 13Nb. If the second button 13Nb is pressed briefly while the head 10 is only connected to the power supply (Case 8), the projector P can be turned on. If the second button 13Nb is pressed briefly while the speaker 19 is on (Case 9), the projector P can be turned on after the speaker 19 is turned off. If the second button 13Nb is pressed briefly while the projector P is on (Case 10), a pop-up message will appear ( Figure 59 The pop-up message (number 3) can be displayed on the OSD. Regarding the pop-up message, the user can select "Yes" to execute the installation guide for screen reset, or select "No" to close the pop-up message. If the second button 13Nb is pressed briefly while the lighting mode is on (Case 11), the projector P can be turned on after the lighting module L is turned off. If the second button 13Nb is pressed briefly while the speaker 19 and lighting mode are on (Case 12), the projector P can be turned on after the speaker 19 and lighting module L are turned off.
[0301] For example, a user can press and hold the second button 13Nb. If the second button 13Nb is pressed and held while the projector P is on (Case 13), the projector P can be turned off.
[0302] For example, a user can briefly press the third button 13Nc. If the third button 13Nc is pressed briefly while the head 10 is only connected to the power supply (Case 14), the lighting module L can be turned on. If the third button 13Nc is pressed briefly while the speaker 19 is on (Case 15), the lighting module L can be turned on. If the third button 13Nc is pressed briefly while the projector P is on (Case 16), a pop-up message will appear. Figure 59The pop-up message (serial number 2) can be displayed on the OSD. Regarding the pop-up message, the user can select "Yes" to end the projection mode and switch to the lighting mode, or select "No" to close the pop-up message. If the third button 13Nc is pressed briefly while the lighting mode is on (Example 17), the user can enter the lighting editing mode, where they can change the brightness and color of the lighting module L. However, if there is no user input within a specified time (e.g., three seconds), the lighting editing mode can end with the last set value. If the third button 13Nc is pressed briefly while the speaker 19 and the lighting mode are on (Example 18), the user can enter the lighting editing mode, where they can change the brightness and color of the lighting module L. However, if there is no user input within a specified time (e.g., three seconds), the lighting editing mode can end with the last set value.
[0303] For example, a user can press and hold the third button 13Nc. If the third button 13Nc is pressed and held while the lighting mode is on (Case 19), the lighting module L can be turned off. If the third button 13Nc is pressed and held while the speaker 19 and the lighting mode are on (Case 20), the lighting module L can be turned off.
[0304] For example, a user can briefly press the fourth button 13Nd. If the fourth button 13Nd is pressed briefly while the head 10 is only connected to the power supply (Case 21), the last off mode (speaker mode, projection mode, or lighting mode) can be turned on. If the fourth button 13Nd is pressed briefly while the speaker 19 is on (Case 22), the sound from the speaker 19 can be played or temporarily stopped. If the fourth button 13Nd is pressed briefly while the projector P is on (Case 23), the user can display the local key menu on the OSD (see...). Figure 61 The local key menu (O) can be used to confirm or activate a specific function on the menu.

[0308] Will Figure 60 and Figure 57 Referring to the interface 13, the touch panel 131 can emit light from its surface. The backlight unit 130 of the interface 13 can provide light to the touch panel 131. A diffuser plate can be located between the backlight unit 130 and the touch panel 131 to diffuse the light from the backlight unit 130. The touch panel 131 can be located on the diffuser plate. The touch panel 131 can sense the user's touch. The brightness and color of the light from the backlight unit 130 can be adjusted.
[0309] For example, a user can briefly press the first button 13Na. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly when the head 10 is only connected to power or when the speaker 19 is on, the brightness and color of the set interface 13 can be maintained, and it will flash at one-second intervals to indicate waiting for Bluetooth pairing. After flashing twice, it will continue to light up to indicate that the speaker 19 has been paired with Bluetooth. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly when the projector P is on, the light of the interface 13 can be turned off. If the first button 13Na is pressed briefly when the lighting mode is on or when both the speaker and lighting modes are on, the brightness and color of the set interface 13 can be maintained, and it will flash at one-second intervals to indicate waiting for Bluetooth pairing. After flashing twice, it will continue to light up to indicate that the speaker 19 has been paired with Bluetooth.
[0310] For example, a user can press and hold the first button 13Na. If the first button 13Na is pressed and held while the speaker 19 is on, the backlight of the interface 13 can be turned off. If the first button 13Na is pressed and held while the speaker and lighting modes are on, the set brightness and color of the interface 13 can be maintained.
[0311] For example, a user can briefly press the second button 13Nb. If the second button 13Nb is briefly pressed in any mode of the head 10, the illumination of the interface 13 can be turned off.
[0312] For example, a user can briefly press the third button 13Nc. If the third button 13Nc is pressed while the head 10 is only connected to power or when the speaker 19 is on, the set brightness and color of the interface 13 can be maintained. If the third button 13Nc is pressed while the projector P is on, the illumination of the interface 13 can be turned off. If the third button 13Nc is pressed while the lighting mode is on or both the speaker and lighting modes are on, the set brightness and color of the interface 13 can be maintained. Alternatively, if entering lighting editing mode, the interface 13 can flash at one-second intervals. The user can change the brightness and color of the interface 13 using the sixth button 13Nf. The interface 13 can maintain its final setting for two seconds before flashing at one-second intervals.
[0313] For example, a user can press and hold the third button 13Nc. If the third button 13Nc is pressed and held while the lighting mode is on, or while both the speaker and lighting modes are on, the illumination of interface 13 can be turned off.
[0314] For example, a user can briefly press the fourth button 13Nd. If the fourth button 13Nd is pressed briefly while the head 10 is only connected to power or with the speaker 19 on, the set brightness and color of the interface 13 can be maintained. However, if a signal to turn on the projector P is input, the illumination of the interface 13 can be turned off. If the fourth button Nd is pressed briefly while the projector P is on, the illumination of the interface 13 can be turned off. If the fourth button 13Nd is pressed briefly while the lighting mode is on or while both the speaker and lighting modes are on, the set brightness and color of the interface 13 can be maintained.
[0315] For example, the user can press and hold the fourth button 13Nd. If the fourth button 13Nd is pressed and held in any mode of the head 10 (except when the head 10 is only connected to the power supply), the illumination of the interface 13 can be turned off.
[0316] For example, a user can briefly press the fifth button 13Ne. If the fifth button 13Ne is pressed briefly while the projector P is on, the illumination of interface 13 can be turned off.
[0317] For example, a user can briefly press the sixth button 13Nf. If the sixth button 13Nf is pressed while the speaker 19 is on, the set brightness and color of the interface 13 can be maintained. If the sixth button 13Nf is pressed while the projector P is on, the light emitted by the interface 13 can be turned off. If the sixth button 13Nf is pressed while the lighting mode is on, the user can change the brightness and color of the light on the interface 13 in lighting editing mode. If the sixth button 13Nf is pressed while the lighting mode is on, or while both the lighting mode and the speaker 19 are on, the set brightness and color of the interface 13 can be maintained. Alternatively, in lighting editing mode, the user can change the brightness and color of the light on the interface 13.
[0318] Therefore, the brightness and color of the interface 13 can be adjusted according to the mode of the head 10 and the user's selection.
