Abstract

A laser light source module includes a housing and a heat sink that is thermally connected to the housing. The housing includes a laser element that emits laser light, a laser holder that is made of metal to hold the laser element, a laser light receiving element that receives laser beam from the laser element, a mirror element that reflects the laser light to scan a screen, an optical element that is disposed on the optical axis of the laser light. The laser holder is thermally connected to the housing with a thermally conductive member. A protrusion is formed on the thermally conductive member. The protrusion and the springiness of the thermally conductive member are used to press the laser holder against the housing in the same direction as the direction of laser light emission.

Claims (22)

1. A laser light source module comprising:

a housing including:

a laser element that emits laser light;

a laser holder that is made of metal to hold the laser element;

a laser light receiving element that receives laser light from the laser element;

a mirror element that reflects the laser light to scan the laser light on a screen; and

an optical element that is disposed on an optical axis of the laser light; and

a heat sink that is thermally connected to the housing;

wherein the laser holder is thermally connected to the housing through a thermally conductive member having springness;

wherein the thermally conductive member or the laser holder is provided with a protrusion which is configured to protrude in the same direction as a laser emission direction of the laser light; and

wherein the protrusion and the springness of the thermally conductive member are used to press the laser holder against the housing in the same direction as the laser light emission direction.

2. The laser light source module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a hook provided on one end of the thermally conductive member; and

a slot provided on the housing,

wherein the hook engages into the slot.

3. A scanning image display device comprising

the laser light source module according to claim 2 .

4. The laser light source module according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the thermally conductive member engages with the heat sink.

5. A scanning image display device comprising

the laser light source module according to claim 4 .

6. A scanning image display device comprising

the laser light source module according to claim 1 .
