Abstract
The invention is a small, low-power consuming, projector system. Once programmed and provided with image data, it can be a standalone system for presenting varying length, silent, videos. Its programmability and FPGA-based micro-circuitry allows it to be repurposed with minimal effort to support other embedded-light-system applications.
Claims4
An image projection system comprising:
- a memory module;
- a programmable microcontroller module;
- a projector module;
- a power and data bus allowing said memory, programmable microcontroller and projector modules to convey and receive data and control signals;
- an enclosure within which resides said memory, programmable microcontroller and projector modules:
- and said power and data bus;
- said-enclosure comprises a heat-sink structure operative to absorb heat internal to said enclosure and dissipate the absorbed heat external to said enclosure;
- a first interface connector means enabling external power and systems to convey and receive data and control signals;
- said enclosure has a first aperture allowing light images produced by said projector module to be beamed outside said enclosure and projected onto a reflective surface operative to reflect light that impinges upon it so as to produce an image;
- said enclosure has a second aperture that supports a said first interface connector;
- and said first interface connector shares said power and data bus, a module supporting a wired-networking standard;
- said module supporting a wired-networking standard interfaces with said power and data bus;
- said enclosure has a third aperture that supports a second interface connector;
- and said second interface connector enables said module supporting a wired-networking standard to convey and receive data and control signals.
