Method and system for a thermal architecture and user adjustable keystone in a display device
A rear projection display device. The display device includes a screen and a base to which the screen is mounted. The base includes a plurality of vents to allow air to flow in and out of the base, a heat source, and an air movement device to move air from near the screen, past the heat source, and out through the vents.
1. A rear projection display device comprising:
a screen;
a first frame selectively pivotal about a first axis through a first adjuster;
a second frame selectively pivotal about a second axis through a second adjuster;
a mirror to reflect an image to the screen, the mirror moveably mounted to the second frame and adapted to pivot about the first axis and the second axis, wherein a user may selectively position the image on the screen through use of the first adjuster and the second adjuster; and
a base to which the screen is mounted, the base including:
a plurality of vents to allow air to flow in and out of the base;
a heat source; and
an air movement device to move air from near the screen, past the heat source, and out through the vents.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the air movement device is a fan.
3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the air movement device is a blower.
4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the heat source is a lamp.
5. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a wide angle lens system to project an image.
6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a first mirror to reflect the image to the screen.
7. The display device of claim 6 , further comprising an intermediate mirror to reflect the image projected by the lens system to the first mirror.
8. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a digital micromirror device (DMD) to provide the image to the lens system.
9. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) to provide the images to the lens system.
10. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a grating light valve (GLV) to provide the images to the lens system.
11. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a liquid crystal display (LCD) to provide the images to the lens system.
12. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display to provide the images to the lens system.
13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the screen comprises a total internal reflection (TIR) Fresnel lens.
14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the screen comprises a refractive Fresnel lens.
15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the air movement device is positioned lower than a bottom edge of the screen.
16. A rear projection display device comprising:
a screen bordered by a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge and a right edge;
a first frame selectively pivotal about a first axis through a first adjuster;
a second frame selectively pivotal about a second axis through a second adjuster;
a mirror to reflect an image to the screen, the mirror moveably mounted to the second frame and adapted to pivot about the first axis and the second axis, wherein a user may selectively position the image on the screen through use of the first adjuster and the second adjuster; and
a base to which the screen is mounted, the base including:
a plurality of vents to allow air to flow out of the base;
a heat source; and
an air movement device to move air past the heat source and out through the vents, wherein the air movement device is positioned lower than the bottom edge of the screen.
17. A rear projection display device comprising:
a screen;
a first frame selectively pivotal about a first axis through a first adjuster;
a second frame selectively pivotal about a second axis through a second adjuster;
a mirror to reflect an image to the screen, the mirror moveably mounted to the second frame and adapted to pivot about the first axis and the second axis, wherein a user may selectively position the image on the screen through use of the first adjuster and the second adjuster; and
a base to which the screen is mounted, the base including:
a plurality of vents to allow air to flow out of the base;
