PROJECTION DISPLAY DEVICE
The projection display device includes an imager unit which modulates light from a light source, and a cooling device which cools the imager unit. In this arrangement, the imager unit includes a red imager which modulates light in a red wavelength band, a green imager which modulates light in a green wavelength band, and a blue imager which modulates light in a blue wavelength band. Further, the cooling device includes cooling fans which supply a cooling air to the imager unit. The cooling device is configured in such a manner that at least one of the cooling fans is provided for each of the red imager, the green imager, and the blue imager, and a plurality of the cooling fans is provided for at least the green imager.
1 . A projection display device comprising:
an imager unit which modulates light from a light source; and
a cooling device which cools the imager unit, wherein
the imager unit includes:

a green imager which modulates light in a green wavelength band; and
a blue imager which modulates light in a blue wavelength band,
the cooling device includes cooling fans each generating a cooling air to be supplied to the imager unit, and
the cooling device is configured in such a manner that at least one of the cooling fans is provided for each of the red imager, the green imager, and the blue imager, and a plurality of the cooling fans are provided for at least the green imager.
2 . The projection display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the cooling device is configured in such a manner that a plurality of the cooling fans is provided for the blue imager.
3 . The projection display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the cooling device is configured in such a manner that two of the cooling fans are provided for each of the green imager and the blue imager.
4 . The projection display device according to claim 3 , wherein
each of the red imager, the green imager, and the blue imager includes an incident-side polarizer, a liquid crystal panel, and an output-side polarizer, and
the cooling device includes first air outlets each being provided for both of the incident-side polarizer and the liquid crystal panel of each imager, and second air outlets each being provided for the output-side polarizer of each imager, and the cooling air is supplied from each of the cooling fans individually to the first air outlet and the second air outlet corresponding to each of the green imager and the blue imager.
5 . The projection display device according to claim 4 , wherein
the cooling device is configured in such a manner that one of the cooling fans is provided for the red imager, and
the cooling air is supplied from the one cooling fan to both of the first air outlet and the second air outlet for the red imager.
6 . The projection display device according to claim 5 , wherein
an air volume of the cooling fan which supplies the cooling air to the second air outlet for the green imager, and an air volume of the cooling fan which supplies the cooling air to the first air outlet and the second air outlet for the red imager are set larger than an air volume of each of the other cooling fans.
