Abstract

A projection device is provide, including a projection module having at least an optical lens, the projection module receiving data and converting display data into an optical image to be projected on a display area by the optical lens. The projection device can be positioned substantially close to the display area. This allows the projection device to directly project the optical image on the display area without having to adjust a projection angle, and also makes the projected image free of obstruction from movement of a user. Therefore, data display and projection operation can be conveniently and efficiently implemented.

Claims (18)

1. A projection device comprising a projection module having at least an optical lens, the projection module managed for receiving and converting display data into an optical image to be projected on a display area by the optical lens, wherein an optic axis of the optical lens is directed toward a same direction as the display area and the projection device is connected to the display area without any external cables such that the projecting device is positioned so adjacent to the display area that a user is prevented from obstructing an image projection.

2. The projection device of claim 1 , further comprising a computer connected with the projection module, for processing and converting data into the display data.

3. The projection device of claim 2 , further comprising at least one communication interface for receiving the display data from the computer.

4. The projection device of claim 2 , further comprising at least one communication interface connected to an external peripheral device, for downloading data to be displayed on the display area.

5. The projection device of claim 2 , wherein the computer is connected to a digitizing tablet by an internal circuit.

6. The projection device of claim 1 , wherein the projection module further comprises an optical reflector formed on the optic axis of the optical lens, for reflecting the optical image from the optical lens on the display area.

7. The projection device of claim 6 , further comprising a data storage unit for storing data to be displayed on the display area.

8. The projection device of claim 1 , wherein the optical lens is directed toward the display area to project the optical image on the display area.

9. The projection device of claim 8 , further comprising a data storage unit for storing data to be displayed on the display area.

10. The projection device of claim 1 , further comprising a data storage unit for storing data to be displayed on the display area.

11. A projection device, comprising:

a computer for processing and converting data into display data wherein the computer is connected to a digitizing tablet by a network communication interface; and

a projection module having at least an optical lens and an optical reflector, the projection module being connected to the computer for converting the display data from the computer into an optical image, and for projecting the optical image on the digitizing tablet via the optical lens, wherein an optical axis of the optical lens is

directed toward a same direction as the digitizing tablet, such that the projecting device is so adjacent to the digitizing table that a user is prevented from obstructing an image projection.

12. The projection device of claim 11 , wherein the optical reflector is formed on the optic axis of the optical lens, for reflecting the optical image from the optical lens on the display area.

13. The projection device of claim 11 , further comprising at least one communication interface connected to an external peripheral device, for downloading data to be displayed on the display area.

14. The projection device of claim 11 , further comprising a data storage unit for storing data to be displayed on the display area.

15. The projection device of claim 11 , wherein the computer is connected to a digitizing tablet by a network communication interface.
