Color wheel module and projector apparatus comprising the same

Abstract

A color wheel module and a projector apparatus using the same are disclosed. The color wheel module has a driving device, a polarity of color filters and a switching device. The color filters are disposed on and driven by a rotary axle of the driving device. The switching device is disposed on the side of the driving device. The driving device is capable of rotating the rotary axle and driving the color filters of the color wheel module. While the projector apparatus is in a planar image mode, a lock rod of the switching device will lock the rotary axle of the driving device to stop the operation of the driving device. While the projector apparatus is in a stereoscopic mode, the lock rod will release the axle so that the driving device is turned to drive the color filters.
