Abstract
A projector includes: a first light source; an optical system configured to emit image light based on light from the first light source; a housing having a first surface and configured to house the first light source and at least a part of the optical system; a plurality of second light sources different from the first light source and configured to emit light from the first surface side to an outside of the housing; and a controller provided to the housing and configured to control the plurality of second light sources.
Claims37
A projector comprising:
- a first light source;
- an optical system configured to emit image light based on light from the first light source;
- a housing having a first surface and configured to house the first light source and at least a part of the optical system;
- a plurality of second light sources different from the first light source and configured to emit light from the first surface side to an outside of the housing;
- and
- a controller provided to the housing and configured to control the plurality of second light sources.
A projector comprising:
- a first light source;
- an optical system configured to emit image light based on light from the first light source;
- a housing that houses the first light source and at least a part of the optical system and including a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface;
- a plurality of second light sources different from the first light source and configured to emit light from the first surface side to an outside of the housing;
- a touch sensor disposed on the second surface and configured to control the plurality of second light sources;
- a leg that supports the housing from the first surface side;
- and
- a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the housing relative to the leg.
A projector comprising:
- a first light source;
- an optical system configured to emit image light based on light from the first light source;
- a housing that houses the first light source and at least a part of the optical system, and including a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface;
- a plurality of second light sources which is different from the first light source, disposed along a contour of the first surface, and configured to emit light from the first surface side to the outside of the housing;
- a touch sensor disposed on the second surface and configured to control the plurality of second light sources;
- at least one third light source different from the first light source and the plurality of second light sources and configured to emit light to the outside of the housing;
- a driver element configured to control the plurality of second light sources;
- an integrated circuit element housed in the housing and configured to control the at least one third light source and the driver element;
- a microcontroller configured to perform processing according to an output of the touch sensor;
- a power supply circuit configured to supply electric power to the plurality of second light sources, the at least one third light source, and the microcontroller;
- a leg including a first portion having a long axis and configured to support the housing from the first surface side;
- and
- a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the housing relative to the leg, wherein
- a first end along the long axis of the first portion of the leg is coupled to a first recess having the long axis and opening on the first surface, and
- a rotational direction of the housing by the rotation mechanism is a direction along the long axis of the first recess.
