Temperature sensor mounting structure and video projector

A video projector comprising:

• a lamp;
• a liquid crystal light bulb which receives light from the lamp;
• a housing which houses the lamp;
• and
• a mounting unit for a temperature sensor which detects a temperature of a wall surface of the housing, the temperature sensor including a main body and a lead wire connected to the main body, the main body including a temperature detection surface, which detects the temperature of the wall surface when in contact with the wall surface, wherein the mounting unit includes:
• a groove formed in the wall surface and including an inlet from which the temperature sensor is inserted;
• a support which supports the main body of the temperature sensor;
• a wire bender which bends the lead wire of the temperature sensor extending out of the inlet into a U-shape so that the lead wire is parallel to the wall surface in order to press the temperature detection surface of the temperature sensor against the wall surface with an elastic force of the lead wire that is produced when the lead wire is bent;
• and
• a stopper which restricts movement of the main body of the temperature sensor towards the inlet.
