Abstract

In a projection video display system, display devices are irradiated with light emitted from a light source 1 housed in a body case, and a video image is projected to the outside of the body case. The system includes: a cooling fan for cooling the display devices; and an air passage for guiding air generated by driving the cooling fan to the display devices. Openings for making the display devices communicate with outside air are formed in positions corresponding to at least the display devices in the body case.

Claims (8)

1. A projection video display system for dividing light emitted from a light source housed in a body case into three colors of R, G, B, modulating each of the divided colors, combining the modulated colors and projecting a video image to the outside of the body case, comprising:

display devices that are irradiated with the light divided into the three colors, the display devices modulating each of the divided colors that pass through the respective display devices;

a cooling fan for cooling the display devices;

an air passage for guiding air generated by driving the cooling fan to the display devices;

openings formed in a bottom face of the body case at positions corresponding to each of said display devices for making the display devices communicate with outside air; and

detachable closing members that fit in said openings to open said openings in a detached state and to close said openings in an attached state,

wherein the detachable closing members are detached from the openings to the outside of the body case and the detachable closing members are detached from the cooling fan separately.

2. The projection video display system according to claim 1 , further comprising a cleaning tool for removing dust adhered to the display devices by blowing air, the cleaning tool being insertable into the openings formed in the bottom face of the body case.
