Abstract

A light source device includes a laser light source, a first adjustment mechanism, a second adjustment mechanism, and a mirror. The laser light source emits laser light. The first adjustment mechanism is configured such that the laser light from the laser light source is incident thereto, and performs an emission angle adjustment of the laser light and a focus adjustment of the laser light. The second adjustment mechanism is configured such that the laser light from the first adjustment mechanism is incident thereto, and performs a positional adjustment of the incident laser light. The mirror is configured such that the laser light from the second adjustment mechanism is incident thereto, and emits the incident laser light in a predetermined direction. An image display apparatus includes the above light source device.

Claims (20)

1. A light source device comprising:

a laser light source that emits laser light;

a first adjustment mechanism that receives the laser light incident from the laser light source, and performs an emission angle adjustment of the laser light and a focus adjustment of the laser light;

a second adjustment mechanism that receives the laser light incident from the first adjustment mechanism, and performs a positional adjustment of the laser light incident from the first adjustment mechanism; and

a mirror that receives the laser light incident from the second adjustment mechanism, and emits the laser light incident from the second adjustment mechanism in a predetermined direction,

wherein the second adjustment mechanism includes a parallel flat plate transmitting the laser light, an adjustment mechanism changing an inclination of the parallel flat plate, and an adjustment mechanism rotating the parallel flat plate.

2. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein the first adjustment mechanism includes a collimator lens, and an adjustment mechanism changing an optical center of the collimator lens.

3. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein the laser light source includes a first laser light source emitting red laser light, a second laser light source emitting blue laser light, and a third laser light source emitting green laser light.

4. The light source device according to claim 3 , wherein the light source device comprises the first adjustment mechanism and the second adjustment mechanism with respect to each of the first laser light source, the second laser light source, and the third laser light source.

5. An image display apparatus comprising the light source device according to claim 1 .

6. A light source device comprising:

a light source emits laser light;

a light source holding unit to which the light source is attached; and

a base unit coupled with the light source holding unit,

wherein a protruding portion is formed on at least one of the light source holding unit and the base unit between the light source holding unit and the base unit, and the light source holding unit and the base unit are in contact with each other at the protruding portion.

7. The light source device according to claim 6 , wherein a cooling unit is further attached to the light source holding unit.

8. The light source device according to claim 6 , wherein the light source holding unit and the base unit are formed of a metal.

9. The light source device according to claim 6 , wherein the light source includes a laser diode.

10. The light source device according to claim 6 , wherein a mechanism is mounted on the base unit, the mechanism performing an optical adjustment of the laser light from the light source.

11. An image display apparatus comprising the light source device according to claim 6 .
