Video projector with monitor screen

A video projector with a monitor screen, comprising:

• a casing, wherein said casing has a shape substantially like a rectangular parallelepiped, on a side surface of which said monitor screen is fixedly disposed such that said monitor screen is substantially flush with said side surface of said casing;
• a projection lens, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source, all of which are disposed in the interior of said casing;
• and
• an optical system including a reflecting mirror capable of advancing into and retracting from the optical axis of said projection lens, at least said reflecting mirror guiding image light to the back surface of said monitor screen.

A video projector with a monitor screen, comprising:

• a casing on a side surface of which said monitor screen is disposed;
• a projection lens, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source, all of which are disposed in the interior of said casing;
• an optical system including a reflecting mirror capable of advancing into and retracting from the optical axis of said projection lens, at least said reflecting mirror guiding image light to the back surface of said monitor screen;
• and
• first and second stereo speakers disposed at frontward and rearward positions on either side of said monitor screen, and a third stereo speaker, disposed on a side surface of said casing which opposes said monitor screen, for being paired with one of said first and second stereo speakers.

A video projector with a monitor screen, comprising:

• a casing on an upper surface of which said monitor screen is disposed;
• a first projection lens for use in projector mode, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source, all of which are disposed in the interior of said casing;
• a second projection lens for use in monitor mode which is capable of advancing into and retracting from the optical path between said first projection lens and said transmission-type display means;
• and
• a reflecting mirror capable of advancing into and retracting from said optical path together with said second projection lens so that light emitted from said second projection lens can be guided to the back surface of said monitor screen.

A video projector with a monitor screen, comprising:

• a casing body on an upper surface of which said monitor screen is disposed;
• a bottom case disposed rotatable relative to said casing body, said bottom case being capable of rotating in such a manner as to close onto said casing body so as to be received in said casing body, and capable of rotating in such a manner as to open away from said casing body so as to expand an internal space at the front of said casing body;
• a projection lens, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source, all of which are disposed in the interior of said casing body;
• and
• first and second reflecting mirrors disposed in the interior of said bottom case,
• wherein when said bottom case is closed, said first and second reflecting mirrors are retracted to positions above and below the optical path of image light emitted from said projection lens, and when said bottom case is opened, said first reflecting mirror is inserted in said optical path while said second reflecting mirror is so positioned as to guide the image light reflected from said first reflecting mirror to the back surface of said monitor screen.

A video projector with a monitor screen comprising:

• a casing on a rear surface of which said monitor screen is disposed;
• a projection block disposed rotatably upward and downward relative to said casing, and normally projecting an image in a first direction normal to a front surface of said casing, said projection block comprising a projection lens, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source;
• and
• a reflecting mirror disposed at a frontward position in the interior of said casing, said reflecting mirror guiding image light emitted from said projection lens to the back surface of said monitor screen in a direction opposite said first direction, when said projection block is rotated by a prescribed angle.

A video projector with a monitor screen, comprising:

• a casing having an opening formed therein, said opening extending from a part of a front surface of said casing to a part of an upper surface thereof;
• said monitor screen rotatably supported at a rearward position of said casing, said monitor screen being capable of rotating to a first position at which said monitor screen covers said upper surface of said casing, and a second position at which said monitor screen forms a certain angle from said upper surface of said casing;
• a projection lens, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source, all of which are disposed in the interior of said casing;
• and
• a lens cover rotatably supported at a frontward position of said casing, said lens cover having an inner surface on which a reflecting mirror is disposed,
• wherein said reflecting mirror guides image light emitted from said projection lens to the back surface of said monitor screen when said lens cover is rotated to a position at which said reflecting mirror is positioned in front of said projection lens while said monitor screen is simultaneously rotated to said second position.

A video projector with a monitor screen, comprising:

• a casing;.
• a projection lens, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source, all of which are disposed in the interior of said casing;
• a supporting member for supporting one side of said transmission-type display means in such a manner that said transmission-type display means is tiltable within a display plane thereof;
• an engagement portion on the other side of said transmission-type display means;
• and
• an adjustment member engaging with said engagement portion in such a manner as to allow adjustment of the vertical position of said engagement portion.

A video projector with a monitor screen, comprising:

• a casing on a side surface of which said monitor screen is disposed;
• a projection lens, transmission-type display means for displaying an image on the basis of a video signal, and a projector light source, all of which are disposed in the interior of said casing;
• a lens cover disposed movably relative to said casing so as to open and close a surface in front of said projection lens;
• and
• an optical system including a reflecting mirror capable of, in an interlocked relationship with the movement of said lens cover, advancing into and retracting from the optical axis of said projection lens, at least said reflecting mirror guiding image light to the back surface said monitor screen.
