Phosphor wheel, light source unit, and image display device
To provide a phosphor wheel capable of restraining vibration caused by a driving unit for rotatably driving a wheel and reducing noise in a high frequency band. The phosphor wheel includes: a wheel substrate that has a surface on which a fluorescent material is provided; a driving unit that rotates the wheel substrate; a support portion that supports the driving unit and is fixed to a housing; and a buffer member that is provided to fill a space between the support portion and a part of the housing.
1. An image display device, comprising:
at least one light source section;
an optical section configured to project an image formed on the basis of a luminous flux emitted from the light source section onto a plane of projection; and
wherein the at least one light source section includes a housing, a driving section that drives a wheel substrate, and a buffer member that is arranged between the wheel substrate and the housing along a direction of a rotating shaft.
2. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one light source section includes a support portion that supports the driving section and is fixed to the housing.
3. The image display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the buffer member is formed by laminating a plurality of sheet members different in hardness in a direction in which the support portion faces to a part of the housing.
4. The image display device according to claim 3 , wherein
the buffer member includes a first sheet member in contact with the support portion is softer than a second sheet member in contact with a side of the first sheet member, the side being opposite to a side of the first sheet member in contact with the support portion.
5. The image display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the support portion is integrally formed with a lens support portion supporting a lens member for introducing light from the at least one light source section to the wheel substrate.
6. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one light source section includes one or more light source.
7. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is provided on a side opposite to the wheel substrate in a rotating shaft direction of the driving section.
8. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the wheel substrate has a surface on which a fluorescent material is provided.
9. The image display device according to claim 8 , wherein
when the fluorescent material is irradiated with light emitted from the light source section, emits fluorescence emission light in a different wavelength region.
