Abstract
A cooling system for a display projector. The display projector has a plurality of panels substantially enclosing a heat generating component. The system includes means for conducting heat from the heat generating component to at least one panel of the housing and means for dissipating the conducted heat, wherein the means for dissipating comprises at least one panel of the display projector.
Claims39
A cooling system for a display projector, said display projector having a housing formed of a plurality of panels around a heat generating component said cooling system comprising:
- means for conducting heat from the heat generating component to at least one panel of the housing;
- and
- means for dissipating the conducted heat, wherein the means for dissipating comprises the at least one panel of the display projector, and wherein the at least one panel comprises an exterior wall of the display projector.
A cooling system for a display projector, said display projector having at least one panel around a heat generating component, said cooling system comprising:
- means for conducting heat from the heat generating component to the at least one panel;
- and
- means for dissipating the conducted heat, wherein the means for dissipating the conducted heat comprises the at least one panel, and wherein the at least one panel contains a working fluid having a relatively low boiling point temperature.
A cooling system for a display projector, said display projector having a housing formed of a plurality of panels around a heat generating component, said cooling system comprising:
- means for conducting heat from the heat generating component to at least one panel of the housing;
- and
- means for dissipating the conducted heat, wherein the means for dissipating comprises the at least one panel of the display projector;
- and
- wherein the heat generating device comprises a projecting device having a lamp reflector, said lamp reflector comprising the means for conducting heat.
A display projector having a housing composed of a plurality of panels, said plurality of panels forming exterior walls of the display projector, said display projector comprising:
- one or more heat generating components;
- a heat dissipating device forming at least one of the plurality of panels;
- and
- at least one heat conducting member for conducting heat from the one or more heat generating components to the heat dissipating device.
A method for cooling one or more heat generating components in a display projector, said display projector having at least one panel forming an exterior wall of the display projector, said method comprising:
- conducting heat from the one or more heat generating components to a heat dissipating device located in the at least one panel of the display projector;
- and
- dissipating the conducted heat with the heat dissipating device to thereby cool the one or more heat generating components.
