Abstract

An apparatus for fixing an optical system for use in a projection display device having a cabinet forming a casing and an optical system disposed on the cabinet for forming an image and magnifying and projecting the image. The apparatus includes a bracket for mounting the optical system; a first connector having projections formed at either one side portion of the bracket or a first counter-portion of the cabinet opposite to the one side portion of the bracket, projection-receiving parts formed at the other of the one side portion of the bracket or the first counter-portion of the cabinet, and first vibration-absorbing members for absorbing vibrations from the cabinet disposed between the projection and the projection-receiving part; and a second connector having a second vibration-absorbing member for absorbing the vibrations from the cabinet interposed between the other side portion of the bracket and a second counter-portion of the cabinet opposite to the other side portion of the bracket, and an intermediate fixing member having a portion directly fixed to the second counter-portion of the cabinet and another portion disposed to be in contact with the second vibration-absorbing member to press it against the other side portion of the bracket.
