Background technology
In the projection display, the life-span that how to prolong bulb is considered to be one of technology of most critical always, and influences in bulb life length all multifactor, and most important one is the good whether corrupt of heat abstractor.
Because a bulb is in luminous; can be accompanied by generation heat energy;; this bulb is stopping luminous moment; the heat energy that is produced before it; can't disappear outright; so, in the existing projection display, be used for getting rid of the heat abstractor of heat energy; stop luminous moment at this bulb; can't decommission at once, on the contrary, this heat abstractor must continue to operate a period of time again; the heat energy that is produced to get rid of this bulb as much as possible, and and then protect this bulb to avoid the infringement of this heat energy.
For instance, people such as Gilmore have promptly disclosed a kind of management process of controlling this heat abstractor running in 2004 in the United States Patent (USP) that is proposed No. 6704061 " Temporary Simulated Off State in a Restart of a Video Display ", this management process mainly is to utilize two stage administrative mechanisms, controls the running of this heat abstractor.In specific words, when the user shuts down button by next, one display can carry out a false shutdown phenomenon immediately earlier, just, this display can be in very first time during section (this very first time section is to originate in the moment that this shutdown button is pressed), the demonstration of FEFO image is pressed already so that this user senses this shutdown button, but this bulb is still to be in luminous state fully in this very first time section; If in this very first time section, there is other button to be pressed again, meaning being pressed of this shutdown button and be because of due to user's the false touch, as a result, under the situation that this bulb need not be restarted, this display recovers the demonstration (more than be a phase I) of image; On the contrary, if in this very first time section, be pressed without any other button again, meaning this user and will shut down really, as a result, this management process proceeds to a second stage.In this second stage, this management process can be ignored being pressed of any button, and just, this management process can abandon any push button signalling that is pressed and produces because of button; In this second stage, this bulb can be closed at leisure, and correspondingly, this heat abstractor can operate constantly, till this second stage finishes fully.
Though above-mentioned management process, after this shutdown button is pressed, can wait until that this second stage finishes fully after, just controlling this heat abstractor decommissions, the heat energy that is produced to get rid of this bulb as much as possible, however this management process but is unable to cope with precipitate outage.That is to say that this heat abstractor is understood because of this precipitate outage, and must stop to get rid of the running of heat energy, thus, this bulb just very likely is subjected to the infringement of this heat energy that is not excluded fully as yet.

See also Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the flow chart of the operation procedure 100 of the projection display 10.Operation procedure 100 comprises the following step:
Step 102: beginning;
Step 104: is energy state normal? if, carry out step 106, otherwise, carry out step 190;
(electric energy detection device 26 can judge whether the energy state of the projection display 10 is normal by detecting the mode whether attaching plug 18 receives the electric energy that this external power supply supplies.In specific words, if attaching plug 18 has when receiving the electric energy that this external power supply supplies, the energy state of the projection display 10 be judged as normal)
Is step 106: the current potential of electrical energy storage device 24 higher than this predetermined potential? if, carry out step 110, otherwise, carry out step 108;
(whether whether the current potential of electric potential detector 30 decidable electrical energy storage devices 24 is higher than this predetermined potential, will charge to electrical energy storage device 24 to judge)
Step 108:, carry out step 110 to electrical energy storage device 24 chargings;
(operation procedure 100 carries out so far, and mean electrical energy storage device 24 and do not storing enough electric energy, therefore, but electric potential detector 30 conducting charge switchs 32, so that the electric energy that attaching plug 18 is received can be stored in the electrical energy storage device 24)
Step 110: receive this starting-up signal? if, carry out step 112, otherwise, carry out step 102;
Step 112: conducting light source switch 34, carry out step 114;
(thus, light source 20 is just received the received electric energy of attaching plug 18, and and then with this light emission to display floater 14)
Step 114: carry out the boot program of the projection display 10, carry out step 116;
Step 116: is energy state normal? if, carry out step 118, otherwise, carry out step 182;
(operation procedure 100 must check every now and then whether the energy state of the projection display 10 is normal)
Step 118: receive this off signal? if, carry out step 120, otherwise, carry out step 116;
(energy state at the projection display 10 is under the normal prerequisite, and operation procedure 100 can detect whether receive the off signal that this remote controller sends constantly)
Step 120: stop display image, carry out step 122;
(projection display 10 stops the demonstration of image when receiving this off signal)
Is step 122: the current potential of electrical energy storage device 24 higher than this predetermined potential? if, carry out step 126, otherwise, carry out step 124;
(electric potential detector 30 is before the projection display 10 real shutdown, whether the current potential that can judge electrical energy storage device 24 again is higher than this predetermined potential, to guarantee institute's electric energy stored in the electrical energy storage device 24, be enough to supply the running of heat abstractor 22, it is outer that just the heat energy that light source 20 is produced is disposed to housing 12)
Step 124:, carry out step 116 to electrical energy storage device 24 chargings (being similar to step 108);
Step 126: have any button to be pressed? if, carry out step 112, otherwise, carry out step 128;
(step 126 is to be similar to prior art, and is not superfluous now)
Step 128: carry out the shutdown programm of the projection display 10, carry out step 182;
Step 182: stop display image and not conducting light source switch 34 (because at this moment, the energy state of the projection display 10 is undesired);
Step 184:, carry out step 190 with institute's electric energy stored supply heat abstractor 22 in the electrical energy storage device 24; And
(electric energy detection device 26 is electrically connected to electrical energy storage device 24 with heat abstractor 22; so that heat abstractor 22 the energy state of the projection display 10 be undesired (for instance; sudden power) under the situation, still can operate constantly, and and then protect light source 20 to avoid the infringement of heat energy)
Step 190: finish.
