Cooling system for projection display systems

摘要

A projection display device (1) includes an optical unit (2), a cooling fan (3) for cooling the circumference of light valves (35) of the optical unit (2), and an exterior cabinet (4) accommodating the optical unit (2) and the cooling fan (3). The cooling fan is in the form of a sirocco fan (3). Cooling air from the cooling fan (3) is brought to the circumference of the light valves (35) through a duct (5), and is distributed by air-quantity controlling means (6) arranged in the duct (5) for effective cooling thereof. <IMAGE>
