Description

  The present invention relates to a light source device and a projector.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a light source device and a projector that modulates light emitted from the light source device to form image light according to image information and enlarges and projects the image light on a projection surface such as a screen are known. . Such a light source device is often configured to include a discharge arc tube such as an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp and a reflecting mirror that reflects light emitted from the arc tube. Sometimes it becomes hot.
Specifically, an arc tube used for a projector has a light emitting part having a substantially spherical shape and a pair of sealing parts extending in directions away from both ends of the light emitting part. Is filled with a luminescent substance such as mercury. When such an arc tube is turned on, the upper part of the light emitting part has the highest temperature and the lower part has the lowest temperature. When such a high temperature state at the upper part of the light emitting part continues, devitrification is likely to occur, whereas when the temperature difference between the upper part and the lower part becomes large, blackening is likely to occur and the arc tube tends to deteriorate. For this reason, it is necessary to cool the upper part of the arc tube efficiently.

  By the way, such a projector is used in, for example, a normal position placed on a setting surface such as a desk and a ceiling position fixed to a ceiling or the like so that the normal position is upside down. However, the position where hot air stays inside the projector differs between the normal position and the ceiling position. For this reason, when the flow path of the cooling air for cooling the configuration in the projector is set in advance, there is a problem that the light source device cannot be cooled appropriately in either the normal position or the ceiling position. In order to solve such problems, a light source device is known in which a wind direction changing plate that rotates by its own weight is provided, and the air direction changing plate is used to blow cooling air to the upper part of the light emitting unit in either a normal position or a suspended position. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

JP 2002-189247 A (FIG. 8)

  However, in the light source device described in Patent Document 1, the cooling air that cools the light-emitting portion is circulated in the duct, and then the flow direction is changed to a gentle downward direction by the air direction change plate, and the air is changed through the air inlet and the air vent. Then, it is introduced into the reflector (reflector). For this reason, there is a problem in that the cooling air cannot be blown at an angle with respect to the arc tube, and the cooling air cannot be appropriately blown to the upper portion of the arc tube.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a light source device and a projector capable of appropriately cooling an arc tube.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the light source device of the present invention includes a light emitting unit that emits light, a light emitting tube including a first sealing unit that extends from one end of the light emitting unit, and the first sealing.

According to the present invention, the cooling air flowing in the duct portion is inclined toward the surface opposite to the surface on which the first opening is formed by the inclined portion provided in the vicinity of the first opening. . For this reason, when the said cooling air passes through the 1st opening part opened toward the arc_tube | light_emitting_tube, the angle changes with respect to the distribution direction in a duct part by the said surface and wall part on the opposite side, and distribute | circulates. By positioning the light emitting unit on the flow direction of the cooling air, the cooling air that has circulated through the duct portion can be blown linearly to the light emitting unit.
Moreover, since the duct part is located above the arc tube, the cooling air that has circulated through the duct part is blown to the upper part of the light emitting part. According to this, the upper part of the light emitting part can be positively cooled by the cooling air, and the temperature difference between the upper part and the lower part can be reduced, so that the deterioration of the arc tube can be suppressed.
Therefore, the upper part of the arc tube can be appropriately cooled, and the life of the arc tube can be extended.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the opening end of the first reflecting mirror is in contact with the end surface of the wall portion on the base end side in the traveling direction.
According to the present invention, the first opening and the opening end of the first reflecting mirror are close to each other. According to this, compared with the case where each is mutually spaced apart, cooling air can be ventilated to light emission part upper part linearly at a short distance. Therefore, the cooling air can be reliably blown to the upper part of the arc tube.

In the present invention, the arc tube includes a second sealing portion extending from an end of the light emitting portion opposite to the first sealing portion, and the duct portion circulates in the duct portion. It is preferable to include a branch portion having a second opening that branches a part of the cooling air and guides the air to the second sealing portion.
According to the present invention, the cooling air flowing through the first opening can cool the first sealing portion side of the arc tube, and the cooling air flowing through the second opening can The second sealing portion side of the arc tube can be cooled. Therefore, since the whole arc tube can be cooled, the lifetime of the arc tube can be further extended.

According to the present invention, a part of light emitted from the light emitting unit and not directly incident on the first reflecting mirror can be reflected by the second reflecting mirror and incident on the first reflecting mirror. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of the light emitted from the light emitting unit can be improved.
Even when the light emitting part is covered with such a second reflecting mirror, the cooling air flowing through the first opening part falls linearly as described above, so avoid the second reflecting mirror. The cooling air can be blown to the upper part of the light emitting unit. Therefore, even when the second reflecting mirror is provided, the upper portion of the light emitting unit can be appropriately cooled.

In this invention, the said duct part is arrange | positioned so that it may oppose centering on the center of the said arc_tube | light_emitting_tube, The 1st duct part and the 2nd duct part which have the said 1st opening part, the said wall part, and the said inclination part, respectively. And a rectifying member that moves by its own weight and causes the cooling air to flow toward the duct portion located above the arc tube out of the first duct portion and the second duct portion. Is preferred.
According to the present invention, even when the storage body is turned upside down, the rectifying member that moves due to its own weight causes the cooling air to flow into the duct portion located above the arc tube among the first duct portion and the second duct portion. Since it can be made to distribute | circulate, as above-mentioned, cooling air can be directly blown on the light emission part upper part. Therefore, even when the storage body is arranged so that one of the first duct portion and the second duct portion is positioned above the arc tube, the arc tube can be appropriately cooled.

Furthermore, on the surface of the front portion 621 on the Z direction base end side, a protruding portion 6214 protruding in the out-of-plane direction from the Y direction base end side and the tip end edge of the introduction port 6212 is formed. One end of these protrusions 6214 comes into contact with the end of the rectifying plate 63 rotated by its own weight.

The back surface portion 622 faces the front surface portion 621 outside the housing body main body 61, and when the duct member 62 is attached to the housing body main body 61, together with the front surface portion 621 and the right side surface portion 623, the branch portion 7A and each Part of the duct portions 7B and 7C is configured.
A concave portion 6211 to which a support member 64 that pivotally supports the rectifying plate 63 is attached is formed at the end edge of the rear surface portion 622 on the X direction front end side.

  On the inner surface of the right side surface portion 623 (surface on the tip side in the X direction), a pair of rotation restricting portions 6231 and 6232 (Y direction) having the same shape at positions corresponding to the pair of rotation restricting portions 6121 and 6122 described above. The proximal end side rotation restricting portion is 6231 and the distal end side rotation restricting portion is 6232). Further, a substantially circular recess 6233 is formed at a position between the rotation restricting parts 6231 and 6232 and closest to the turn restricting parts 6231 and 6232. An extending portion 632 serving as a rotation axis of the plate 63 is inserted. Further, a screw hole (not shown) into which a screw 65 for fixing the support member 64 is screwed is formed on the inner side of the right side surface portion 623 in the Z direction.

  The top surface part 624 covers the step part 6131, the inclined part 6132, the standing part 6133, the opening part 6134 and the wall part 6135 formed on the upper surface part 613. At this time, the surface on the Y direction base end side of the top surface portion 624, the edge on the Y direction front end side of the upright portion 6133, and the edge on the Z direction front end side of the wall portion 6135 are in contact with each other. The first duct portion 7 </ b> B is formed inside the surface portion 624, the upper surface portion 613, the front surface portion 621, and the back surface portion 622.

  The top surface portion 624 is formed with a protruding portion 6241 that protrudes toward the Y-direction front end side, and the main reflecting mirror 52 housed in the lamp housing portion 616 through the opening 6137 is formed in the projecting portion 6241. An opening 6242 for circulating the cooling air is formed on the outer periphery of the outer periphery. However, the opening 6242 does not communicate with the first duct portion 7B, and the flow path of the cooling air flowing through the opening 6242 and the flow path of the cooling air flowing through the first duct portion 7B are respectively be independent.

On the top end side in the X direction of the top surface portion 624, an upright portion 6243 that rises toward the front end side in the Y direction is formed, and the upright portion 6243 abuts on the upright portion 6136 formed on the upper surface portion 613, and the container body The duct member 62 is positioned with respect to 61.
Further, on the inner surface (surface in the Y direction base end side) 624 </ b> A of the top surface portion 624, a metal plate-like body 624 </ b> A <b> 1 at a position corresponding to the opening 6134 when the duct member 62 is attached to the housing body 61. (See FIG. 10) is attached. The plate-like body 624A1 prevents light emitted from the light emitting unit 511 from directly entering the top surface part 624 through the opening 6134 and preventing the incident position of the light from deteriorating.

  The bottom surface portion 625 is formed to be substantially flat, and when the duct member 62 is attached to the housing body 61, the step portion 6141, the inclined portion 6142, and the standing portion formed on the lower surface portion 614, similar to the top surface portion 624. 6143, the opening 6144 and the wall 6145 are covered. The bottom portion 625, the lower surface portion 614, the front surface portion 621, and the back surface portion 622 form a second duct portion 7C. In addition, also on the inner surface 625A of the bottom surface portion 625, a metal plate-like body 625A1 (see FIG. 10) is attached at a position corresponding to the opening 6144.

[Composition of current plate]
The rectifying plate 63 corresponds to the rectifying member of the present invention, and is arranged in the branch portion 7A as described above, and rotates by its own weight within the range from the rotation restricting portions 6121 and 6231 to the rotation restricting portions 6122 and 6232. It moves and changes the distribution direction of some cooling air among the cooling air introduced from the introduction port 6212 to the 1st duct part 7B or the 2nd duct part 7C. The rectifying plate 63 is formed as a plate-like body, and includes a rectifying unit 631 positioned at the center, and an extending unit 632 formed on one end side of the rectifying unit 631 and extending in a direction away from each other. .

Among these, one extending portion 632 is inserted into the recess 6233, and the other extending portion 632 is inserted into the hole 641 formed in the support member 64. And this support member 64 is fixed to the above-mentioned screw hole formed in the right side surface part 623, whereby the rectifying plate 63 is pivotally supported with the extending part 632 as a rotation shaft.
The rectifying unit 631 is a part that changes the flow direction of the cooling air upward. When the rectifying plate 63 is rotated by its own weight, the rectifying unit 631 is a rotation restricting unit (rotation restricting units 6121 and 6231 when the projector 1 is in a normal position, a ceiling suspension posture). In this case, it abuts on the rotation restricting portions 6122 and 6232) and abuts on the protruding portion 6214 located on the front end side in the vertical direction. Thereby, a part of the cooling air introduced through the introduction port 6212 is changed in its flow direction upward. The other cooling air is introduced into the lamp housing 616 through the opening 6123 (see FIG. 6).

[Cooling air flow path]
Hereinafter, the flow path of the cooling air for cooling the light source lamp 50 will be described. In the following description, a case where the projector 1 is in the normal posture will be described.
8 to 10 are diagrams showing a flow path of cooling air for cooling the light source lamp 50. In other words, FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 are a transverse sectional view and a longitudinal sectional view showing the light source device 5 in a horizontal plane and a vertical plane including the central axis of the light source lamp 50. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the light source device 5 showing the duct member 62 with an imaginary line.
As shown in FIG. 8, the cooling air discharged from the fan 93 travels in the direction D <b> 1 and is introduced into the branch portion 7 </ b> A through the introduction port 6212. Among the cooling air, a part of the cooling air branches in the D2 direction (direction toward the tip end side in the X direction) and is introduced into the lamp housing portion 616 through the slit-shaped opening 6123. Then, the cooling air cools the sealing portion 513 side of the arc tube 51.
On the other hand, the other cooling air branches in the D3 direction (direction toward the front end side in the Y direction) by the rectifying plate 63 rotated in the vertical direction by its own weight until coming into contact with the rotation restricting parts 6121 and 6231, and the branching part 7A. The inside flows toward the first duct portion 7B.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the cooling air circulated in the direction D <b> 3 is the first duct portion surrounded by the upper surface portion 613 of the housing body 61 and the front surface portion 621, the back surface portion 622, and the top surface portion 624 of the duct member 62. Enter 7B. And the said cooling air distribute | circulates the inside of the 1st duct part 7B along D4 direction (direction which goes to the X direction front end side).

As shown in FIG. 10, the flow direction of the cooling air flowing in the D4 direction is changed to the D5 direction (direction toward the base end side in the Z direction) by the standing portion 6133.
Thereafter, the cooling air flows along the top surface portion 624, the inclined portion 6132, and the upright portion 6133, and then strikes the wall portion 6135 that is the terminal end of the first duct portion 7B, so that the lamp is accommodated through the opening portion 6134. Enter the part 616. At this time, the inclined portion 6132 is inclined toward the Y-direction distal end side toward the Z-direction proximal end side, and the end portion on the Z-direction proximal end side of the inclined portion 6132 is at the Y-direction distal end side. A curved portion 61321 that warps toward is formed. Furthermore, the wall 6135 that forms the edge of the opening 6134 is a wall that is perpendicular to the inner surface 624A of the top surface 624 (the surface 624A that faces the upper surface 613 of the housing body 61). For this reason, the cooling air flowing along the inclined portion 6132 is linearly distributed in the direction D6, that is, in the direction toward the upper portion of the light emitting portion 511, by the inclined portion 6132, the curved portion 61321, the inner surface 624A, and the wall portion 6135. Will change.

And the cooling air which distribute | circulated to the D6 direction distribute | circulates to the D7 direction which is the same direction as the said D6 direction, and is ventilated on the upper part of the light emission part 511 located on the said D7 direction. At this time, the opening end of the main reflecting mirror 52 (the end edge on the tip end side in the Z direction of the reflecting portion 522) is in contact with the end surface of the wall portion 6135 on the base end side in the Z direction. The cooling air can be blown over the light emitting unit 511 without changing the traveling direction of the cooling air introduced into the storage unit 616. As a result, the cooling air that has flowed through the first duct portion 7B does not flow along the reflection surface 5221 of the main reflecting mirror 52, but is directly blown to the upper portion of the light emitting portion 511, and the upper portion of the light emitting portion 511 is effective. Can be cooled.
The cooling air that has cooled the light-emitting portion 511 and the cooling air that has been introduced through the opening 6123 at the branching portion 7A and has cooled the sealing portion 513 are on the opposite side of the opening 6123. The air is sucked by the fan 94 through the opening 6151 formed in the left side surface portion 615 and discharged to the outside of the storage body 6.

  Note that when the light source device 5 is turned upside down, that is, when the projector 1 is in the ceiling position, the rotation direction of the rectifying plate 63 is reversed, and the cooling air branched at the branching portion 7A is Circulates in the second duct portion 7C. At this time, since the second duct part 7C has the same configuration as the first duct part 7B, the cooling air circulated in the second duct part 7C is blown to the upper part of the light emitting part 511 even in the ceiling hanging position. And the upper part is effectively cooled.

FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a light source device 5A as a comparative example with respect to the present embodiment, in other words, a vertical cross-sectional view showing the light source device 5A in which a flat portion 6132A is formed instead of the inclined portion 6132.
Here, the flow path of the cooling air when the inclined portion 6132 is not formed will be described. The light source device 5A shown below has the same configuration as the light source device 5 except that it includes a flat portion 6132A along the Z direction and the X direction instead of the inclined portion 6132, and is the same as the already described portion. Or about the substantially same part, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The cooling air that has circulated in the first duct portion 7B of the light source device 5A circulates in the F5 direction (the direction toward the base end side in the Z direction) along the top surface portion 624, the flat portion 6132A, and the standing portion 6133. Here, since the flat portion 6132A has a flat surface along the Z direction together with the opposing inner surface 624A, the cooling air flows in the F6 direction along the wall portion 6135 and passes through the opening 6134. The lamp enters the lamp housing 616.

  The cooling air that has entered the lamp housing 616 diffuses in the lamp housing 616. Among these, a part of the cooling air flows in the F7 direction along the reflecting surface 5221 of the main reflecting mirror 52. This cooling air flows between the reflecting surface 5221 and the light emitting unit 511, and a further part of the cooling air is blown to the upper part of the light emitting unit 511. For this reason, compared with the light source device 5 in which the inclination part 6132 was formed, the flow volume and wind pressure of the cooling air which are blown to the light emission part 511 upper part are low, and the cooling efficiency of the said upper part is low.

The projector 1 according to the present embodiment described above has the following effects.
The cooling air flowing through the first duct portion 7B is circulated by the inclined portion 6132 while being inclined toward the inner surface 624A facing the upper surface portion 613 where the opening 6134 is formed. For this reason, the cooling air travels with the inclined portion 6132, the inner surface 624 </ b> A, and the wall portion 6135 having a flow direction changed toward the light emitting portion 511 through the opening portion 6134. Thereby, since the cooling air can be blown linearly from the opening 6134 to the upper portion of the light emitting portion 511 while avoiding the sub-reflecting mirror 54, the upper portion of the light emitting portion 511 can be effectively cooled. In addition, since the curved portion 61321 that is warped toward the Y-direction distal end side is formed on the Z-direction base end side of the inclined portion 6132, the cooling air is further angled toward the upper portion of the light-emitting portion 511. Can blow.

  Furthermore, even when the cooling air blowing direction to the light source device 5 is from the front side of the light source device 5, the cooling air can be appropriately blown to the upper part of the light emitting unit 511 by the above-described configuration. The fan 93 to be cooled can be disposed at a position that does not affect the size of the projector 1. Therefore, the light source device 5 can be efficiently cooled without increasing the size of the projector 1.

  Further, since the first duct portion 7B and the second duct portion 7C having the same configuration as the first duct portion 7B are located above and below the housing 6, that is, above and below the arc tube 51, the projector 1 However, in any of the normal position and the ceiling position, the cooling air can be blown to the upper part of the light emitting unit 511. Accordingly, the upper part of the light emitting unit 511 can be actively cooled, and the temperature difference between the upper part and the lower part of the light emitting part 511 can be reduced, so that the deterioration of the arc tube 51 can be further suppressed.

  The open end of the main reflecting mirror 52 is brought into contact with the end surface of the wall portion 6135 on the base end side in the Z direction. According to this, since the opening 6134 whose edge is formed by the wall 6135 and the opening end of the main reflecting mirror 52 are close to each other, the distance is shorter than when they are separated from each other. Cooling air can be blown linearly to the upper part of the light emitting unit 511. Therefore, the cooling air can be reliably blown to the upper part of the light emitting unit 511, and the cooling efficiency of the upper part can be improved.

  Among the cooling air introduced into the branch portion 7A, a part of the cooling air is introduced into the lamp housing portion 616 through the opening 6123, and cools the sealing portion 513 side of the arc tube 51. According to this, since the entire arc tube 51 can be cooled together with the cooling air flowing through the first duct portion 7B or the second duct portion 7C, the cooling efficiency of the arc tube 51 is increased, and the arc tube 51 is further improved. It is possible to achieve a long life.

Since the arc tube 51 is provided with a sub-reflecting mirror 54 that covers the sealing portion 513 side of the light-emitting unit 511, a part of light that does not directly enter the main reflecting mirror 52 is partly reflected by the sub-reflecting mirror 54. 52 can be made incident. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of the light emitted from the light emitting unit 511 can be improved.
Further, as described above, even when the sub-reflecting mirror 54 is provided, the cooling air can be blown linearly to the upper part of the light-emitting unit 511, so that the sub-reflecting mirror 54 is avoided and the light-emitting unit is avoided. The upper part of 511 can be cooled appropriately.

  A rectifying plate 63 that rotates due to its own weight is provided in the branching portion 7A. By the rectifying plate 63, a duct portion located above the arc tube 51 among the first duct portion 7B and the second duct portion 7C. Cooling air can be circulated. Therefore, even when the projector 1 is in the normal position or the ceiling position, the cooling air can be blown to the upper part of the light emitting unit 511 to appropriately cool the upper part.

Although the air is guided to the two duct portions 7C, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a rectifying member that moves by its own weight, shields the flow path to the duct portion located below the first duct portion and the second duct portion, and guides cooling air to the duct portion located above. It may be adopted.

  In the said embodiment, although the light source device 5 was set as the structure provided with 7 A of branch parts, the 1st duct part 7B, and the 2nd duct part 7C by which the baffle plate 63 is arrange | positioned inside, this invention is not limited to this.

However, the light modulation device that modulates the incident light beam according to the image information to form an optical image has other configurations. A modulation device may be employed. For example, the present invention can be applied to a projector using a light modulation device other than liquid crystal, such as a device using a micromirror. When such a light modulation device is used, the polarizing plates 443 and 445 on the light incident side and the light emitting side can be omitted.

A light source device as a related art of the present invention is attached to a light emitting unit that emits light, a light emitting tube including a first sealing unit extending from one end of the light emitting unit, and the first sealing unit, A first reflecting mirror having a substantially concave curved reflecting surface for reflecting the light emitted from the light emitting section; and a housing for housing the arc tube and the first reflecting mirror, Located above the arc tube and extending along the central axis of the light beam reflected by the reflecting surface, the cooling air flows in a direction opposite to the traveling direction of the light reflected by the reflecting surface. A duct portion, the duct portion opening toward the arc tube, a first opening located on the front end side in the traveling direction from the opening end of the first reflecting mirror, and the progression in the first opening. The wall that forms the end edge of the directional proximal end and becomes the end of the duct An inclined portion that is provided in the vicinity of an edge of the first opening on the front end side in the traveling direction, and that inclines the cooling air toward a surface opposite to the surface on which the first opening is formed. It is characterized by having.
According to the related art , the cooling air flowing through the duct portion is inclined toward the surface opposite to the surface on which the first opening is formed by the inclined portion provided in the vicinity of the first opening. The For this reason, when the said cooling air passes through the 1st opening part opened toward the arc_tube | light_emitting_tube, the angle changes with respect to the distribution direction in a duct part by the said surface and wall part on the opposite side, and distribute | circulates. By positioning the light emitting unit on the flow direction of the cooling air, the cooling air that has circulated through the duct portion can be blown linearly to the light emitting unit.
Moreover, since the duct part is located above the arc tube, the cooling air that has circulated through the duct part is blown to the upper part of the light emitting part. According to this, the upper part of the light emitting part can be positively cooled by the cooling air, and the temperature difference between the upper part and the lower part can be reduced, so that the deterioration of the arc tube can be suppressed.
Therefore, the upper part of the arc tube can be appropriately cooled, and the life of the arc tube can be extended.

In the related technology , it is preferable that an opening end of the first reflecting mirror is in contact with an end surface of the wall portion on the base end side in the traveling direction.
According to this configuration , the first opening and the opening end of the first reflecting mirror are close to each other. According to this, compared with the case where each is mutually spaced apart, cooling air can be ventilated to light emission part upper part linearly at a short distance. Therefore, the cooling air can be reliably blown to the upper part of the arc tube.

In the related technology , the arc tube includes a second sealing portion extending from an end portion of the light emitting portion opposite to the first sealing portion, and the duct portion circulates in the duct portion. It is preferable that a branch portion having a second opening for branching a part of the cooling air to guide air to the second sealing portion is provided.
According to the said structure , the 1st sealing part side of an arc_tube | light_emitting_tube can be cooled with the cooling air which distribute | circulates through a 1st opening part, Moreover, with the cooling air which distribute | circulates through a 2nd opening part, The second sealing portion side of the arc tube can be cooled. Therefore, since the whole arc tube can be cooled, the lifetime of the arc tube can be further extended.

In the related technology, it is preferable that the arc tube includes a second reflecting mirror that covers the distal end side in the traveling direction of the light emitting unit and reflects incident light toward the first reflecting mirror.
According to this configuration , a part of the light emitted from the light emitting unit and not directly incident on the first reflecting mirror can be reflected by the second reflecting mirror and incident on the first reflecting mirror. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of the light emitted from the light emitting unit can be improved.
Even when the light emitting part is covered with such a second reflecting mirror, the cooling air flowing through the first opening part falls linearly as described above, so avoid the second reflecting mirror. The cooling air can be blown to the upper part of the light emitting unit. Therefore, even when the second reflecting mirror is provided, the upper portion of the light emitting unit can be appropriately cooled.

And a rectifying member that moves by its own weight and distributes the cooling air toward the duct portion located above the arc tube out of the first duct portion and the second duct portion. It is preferable.
According to this configuration , even when the storage body is turned upside down, the rectifying member that moves due to its own weight causes cooling air to flow into the duct portion located above the arc tube, of the first duct portion and the second duct portion. Since it can be made to distribute | circulate, as above-mentioned, cooling air can be directly blown on the light emission part upper part. Therefore, even when the storage body is arranged so that one of the first duct portion and the second duct portion is positioned above the arc tube, the arc tube can be appropriately cooled.

A projector as a related technology of the present invention includes a light source device according to the related technology , a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device to form image light, and projection optics that projects the image light. And a device.
According to this configuration, it is possible to achieve the same effects as the light source device of the related technology , and it is possible to extend the life of the arc tube, and thus the light source device, so it is necessary to frequently replace the light source device. This eliminates the need for maintenance.
