Solution Overview
Problem
In projector design, the miniaturization trend limits configuration space, making it challenging to achieve effective heat dissipation for light-emitting diode light sources with different heat generation requirements while maintaining structural strength.
Innovation Solution
A heat dissipation structure is implemented in a projector with separated heat dissipation structures for each color light-emitting unit, creating an accommodation space to prevent heat conduction and allow for additional heat dissipation within a limited space, including a base with side surfaces for each unit and heat dissipation structures that define a space for another unit's dissipation.

1Volume of moving object
If the projector is miniaturized to reduce size, then the configuration space is reduced, but the heat dissipation efficiency of light-emitting diode light sources deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation structure is divided into multiple independent heat dissipation components, each corresponding to different light-emitting diode chips (red, green, blue). Each heat dissipation component has its own heat dissipation channel, allowing separate heat dissipation paths for each color light source, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency in a compact space.
2Temperature
If heat dissipation structures are separated for each light-emitting unit, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple heat dissipation components are integrated into a unified heat dissipation structure that forms an accommodation space together. This structure combines the functions of multiple heat dissipation paths while maintaining a compact overall design, reducing device complexity compared to completely separate heat dissipation systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The heat dissipation components are arranged to form nested or interlocking structures that create accommodation spaces. This nesting approach allows multiple heat dissipation functions to coexist in a compact configuration, improving heat dissipation efficiency without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Temperature
If heat dissipation structures are separated, then cross-heat conduction is prevented, but the structural strength may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The separated heat dissipation components are merged into an integrated heat dissipation structure that maintains structural continuity. This integration preserves structural strength while keeping the heat dissipation paths separate to prevent cross-heat conduction between different light-emitting units.
