Description

  The present invention relates to a projector, and more particularly to a structure of a projector that can be installed in a narrow space, and an image projection method using the same.

  Projectors for enlarging and projecting images for applications such as conferences and presentations are widely used. In recent years, ultra-short focus projectors that can effectively use space by shortening the projection distance to the projection surface have been commercialized.

  As a background art in this technical field, there is JP 2013-122491 A (Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 discloses a projector that has a super-short focus projection system including an aspherical mirror and enables desktop projection with a short projection distance, and performs floor surface projection and wall surface projection with this projector. In addition, the projector housing is provided with a projection port 210 through which light emitted from the projection optical system 110 passes. In addition, the projection optical system 110, the illumination optical system 120, a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) 70, and a reflection prism 80 are included, and the projection optical system 110 further includes a projection lens group 111 and a reflection mirror 112. The projection lens group 111 is configured to emit the color component light emitted from the DMD 70 to the reflection mirror 112 side.

JP 2013-122491 A

  It is conceivable to use an image projected by a projector for purposes other than conferences and presentations. For example, it is conceivable to display an environmental image or the like for producing a space atmosphere in a hotel or shop.

  On the other hand, for the same purpose, there is indirect illumination as illumination in order to produce a moody space. Indirect lighting refers to lighting that illuminates the interior with reflected light so that the light source cannot be seen directly, and illuminates the interior with reflected light. Suitable for directing.

  Examples of the indirect illumination method include the following methods. One is indirect illumination that illuminates the ceiling, and there is cove illumination that is a kind of indirect illumination method for the ceiling. This is a lighting method in which a recess or a ridge is provided in a corner or wall of a ceiling, and a light source (lighting fixture) is concealed inside to diffuse soft light on the ceiling surface. In addition, there is cornice illumination that is indirect illumination that illuminates the wall surface from above. This is a method of illuminating the wall surface with indirect illumination by providing a peripheral edge that shields the light source at the corner of the ceiling and the wall.

  In this way, if the projector can be housed in a general indirect lighting structure, such as a depression, a fence, or a peripheral edge, which is a structure of a building for indirect lighting, an image can be displayed instead of lighting. More effective space production is possible. At that time, the issue is a projector structure that can be installed in a narrow space such as an indirect illumination structure part where a lighting fixture is originally installed, and can be reduced in size so that the projector body is difficult to see when installed. .

  Patent Document 1 does not consider the above-described problem, which is that the projector can be installed in a narrow space and the projector body is less visible when installed.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and in particular, provides a projector that can be installed in a general indirect illumination structure.

  In order to solve the above problems, for example, the configuration described in the claims is adopted. The present invention includes a plurality of means for solving the above problems. For example, an image projection unit that modulates light emitted from a light source according to a video signal and projects projection light, and an image projection A projector having a housing in which a mirror that reflects projection light projected from a section is disposed, the housing being sandwiched between a front surface having a projection port for projecting projection light and a back surface facing the front surface When the side surface on the side where the mirror is arranged is the first grounding surface, and the side surface facing the first grounding surface on the side where the image projection unit is arranged is the second grounding surface, It is assumed that the relationship between the depth D1 from the front surface to the back surface of the ground and the depth D2 from the front surface to the back surface of the second grounding surface has a shape that satisfies D2 <D1.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  First, a general indirect illumination installation structure, which is a premise of the present invention, will be described.

  FIG. 26 is a structural diagram of an illumination installation portion used for general indirect illumination. In FIG. 26, (A) has shown the structure figure in the cove illumination which is a kind of indirect illumination to a ceiling, and its schematic dimension. 900 is a ceiling, 901 is a wall, 902 is the length of the heel portion where the lighting 903 is arranged, and a recommended value thereof is about 150 mm. The height 904 of the edge portion extending upward from the flange portion is about 40 mm, and the opening height 905 between the edge portion and the ceiling is 150 mm or more. Moreover, (B) has shown the structure figure and its outline dimension in the cornice illumination which is indirect illumination which illuminates a wall surface from the upper part. The height 906 of the edge falling from the ceiling 900 is about 150 mm, and the width 907 of the opening from the tip of the ridge extending from the lowermost part of the edge toward the wall 901 to the wall 901 is 100 to 200 mm.

  Therefore, it is necessary to provide a projector that can be installed on the general dimensions of the structural portion used for general indirect illumination.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the projector in this embodiment. In FIG. 1, a projector 100 projects an image obtained by a light modulation device, which will be described later, from a projection lens 101 onto a mirror 102 via a lens unit. The projection light from the projection lens 101 is reflected by the surface of the mirror 102 and enlarged and projected from the projection port 103 for projection light. The projection light reflected by the mirror 102 is projected in an oblique direction on the front surface 104 on the projection opening side of the projector 100, and is projected onto a surface such as a screen, a wall surface, a desk, or a table to form image light. The mirror 102 is an optical system composed of a lens unit and a mirror, and even if the distance from the projector to the image projection surface is short, it is sufficient that the projection performance capable of displaying a sufficiently enlarged image without distortion is ensured. For example, a convex mirror or a plane mirror may be used. Since the projection light reflected by the mirror 102 is magnified and projected, a depression 105 is provided as an interference avoidance portion in the projection opening so as not to interfere with the optical path. In addition, 150 is an operation unit for performing operations such as turning on / off the power, 151 is a terminal unit for inputting an image to be projected and displayed from the outside, 152 is an exhaust port for exhausting air inside the apparatus, and However, an intake port is provided on the surface facing the exhaust port. Reference numeral 153 denotes a leg, and the projector 100 can be used by sliding the leg 153 with the leg 153 side down. Reference numeral 154 denotes a connecting recess described later.

  FIG. 2 shows a top view of the projector 100 as viewed from the front. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 110 denotes an optical unit having a light source such as an LED or a laser, and 111 denotes a light modulation device that modulates light from the light source of the optical unit 110 in accordance with an external video signal. It consists of a reflective liquid crystal panel, a transmissive liquid crystal panel, and the like. The image light obtained by the light modulation device 111 is synthesized by the prism 112 and projected from the projection lens 101 onto the mirror 102 via the lens unit 113 composed of a plurality of lenses. Reference numeral 114 denotes a power supply unit. The lens unit 113 includes various lenses including a lens having a free-form surface that is not rotationally symmetric, which is necessary for correcting various distortions associated with enlarged projection of an image, such as distortion caused by oblique incidence and trapezoidal distortion. It is configured to include a lens. The optical unit 110, the light modulation device 111, the prism 112, the lens unit 113, and the projection lens 101 are collectively referred to as an image projection unit.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. The projection light from the projection lens 101 is reflected by the mirror 102 and projected obliquely from the front surface 104 on the projection port side of the projector 100. Therefore, the mirror 102 is disposed obliquely with respect to the front surface 104 of the projector. Further, the projection port 103 is provided with a transparent dustproof cover 115 for dustproofing.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. The depression 105 serving as an interference avoiding unit for preventing interference with the optical path of the projection light reflected by the mirror 102 is formed so that the surface 116 forming the depression 105 is also inclined with respect to the front surface 104 of the projector corresponding to the mirror 102. Yes.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, in the housing of the projector 100, the surface with the projection port 103 is defined as the front surface 104, and the surface facing the surface is defined as the back surface 120. The side on which the image projecting unit including the first ground plane 130, the optical unit 110 or the optical unit 110, the light modulation device 111, the prism 112, the lens unit 113, and the projection lens 101 is disposed is disposed on the side surface. The side surface facing the first ground plane 130 is defined as a second ground plane 140. In addition, the distance between the first ground plane 130 and the second ground plane 140 is defined as a height H. In this state, the external shape such that the relationship between the depth D1 from the front surface to the back surface of the first grounding surface 130 and the depth D2 from the front surface to the back surface of the second grounding surface 140 is D2 <D1. To do.

In other words, the projector 100 is not a rectangular parallelepiped, and the front surface is configured by an inclined surface, and the side surfaces other than the first and second grounding surfaces are trapezoidal.
Accordingly, when the projector is installed on the first ground plane 130, the depth of the second ground plane 140 that opposes the line of sight obliquely below the ground plane 130 side is narrow, which makes it difficult to see the main body. it can.

  Further, since the optical path of the projection light reflected by the mirror 102 is enlarged as the distance from the mirror 102 increases, the projection opening for preventing interference with the optical path by reducing D2 compared to the case where the depths D1 and D2 are the same. And the mirror 102 can be made closer, and the area of the projection port on the front surface 104 can be reduced. Further, since the width of the depression 105 provided in the projection port can be reduced for the same reason so as not to interfere with the optical path, the projection port width W2 can be reduced as shown in FIG. Therefore, the projector according to the present embodiment can be downsized.

  Corresponding to the general dimensions of the structural part used for general indirect illumination described above, the projector 100 in this embodiment has a height H of 40 mm edge height + 150 mm opening height in the case of cove illumination. = 190 mm or less, and considering the case of cornice illumination, about 120 mm is desirable. The width W is preferably about 350 mm, the depth D1 is about 90 mm, and D2 is about 40 mm.

  In addition, the front, back, and side surfaces of the projector housing may be curved surfaces instead of flat surfaces, but flat surfaces are desirable if a simple structure that does not feel uncomfortable is desired.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the image projection unit that projects the projection light by modulating the light emitted from the light source according to the video signal and the mirror that reflects the projection light projected from the image projection unit are arranged. The housing has a first side surface on the side where the mirror is disposed among the side surfaces sandwiched between a front surface having a projection port for projecting projection light and a rear surface facing the front surface. When the second grounding surface is a side surface facing the first grounding surface on the side where the image projection unit is disposed, the depth D1 from the front surface to the back surface of the first grounding surface and the second contact surface are defined. It is assumed that the relationship between the depth D2 from the front surface to the back surface of the ground has a shape that satisfies D2 <D1.

  A projector having a mirror that modulates and projects light from the optical unit according to an image signal from the outside, reflects the projected light, and projects to the outside through the mirror; In the projector housing, the surface adjacent to the front surface provided with the projection port is opposed to the first ground surface on the side where the mirror is disposed and the first ground surface on the side where the optical unit is disposed. When the depth dimensions from the front surface of the second grounding surface to the opposite back surface are D1 and D2, respectively, D2 is formed to be smaller than D1.

  According to the present embodiment, the projector can be housed in the indirect illumination structure portion. As a result, not only light but also video can be displayed, and a more effective space effect can be achieved. In addition, since the projector fits in the indirect illumination structure portion, it is possible to make the projector difficult to see from the position of the line of sight, and the appearance of the appearance is improved.

  In this embodiment, an example of further downsizing will be described. In addition, the same function as Example 1 attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  5, 6 and 7 are external views of the projector 200 according to the present embodiment. 5 is a perspective view, FIG. 6 is a top view seen from the front of the projector 200, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG.

  5 is different from FIG. 1 of the first embodiment in that the front surface on the projection port 203 side of the projector 200 is composed of two surfaces 201 and 202 having different inclinations. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the front surface 104 of FIG. 1 is composed of two surfaces 201 and 202 having different inclinations that bend in the depth direction at a bending point BP at a substantially central portion of the front surface. Thereby, compared to the first embodiment, the distance between the projection port 203 on the surface 202 and the mirror 102 so as not to interfere with the optical path can be made closer, so the area of the projection port 203 on the surface 202 can be reduced. The width of the recess 205 provided in the projection port can be reduced so as not to interfere with the optical path, and the projection port width W4 can be reduced as shown in FIG. The surfaces 201 and 202 may be curved surfaces instead of flat surfaces. However, flat surfaces are desirable if a simple structure that does not feel uncomfortable is desired. Similarly to the first embodiment, the projection port 203 includes a transparent dustproof cover 215 for dustproofing.

  Therefore, the projector according to the present embodiment can be further downsized.

  In this embodiment, a projector structure that can be easily installed when a plurality of projectors described in the first and second embodiments are installed and an installation configuration thereof will be described.

  When it is desired to take a wide display range or to continuously display a wide range, it is necessary to install a plurality of projectors at predetermined positions. FIG. 8 shows a state in which a plurality of projectors in this embodiment are connected. As shown in FIG. 1, the projector in the present embodiment has a connecting recess 154. Then, by inserting the connecting rail 300 into the connecting recess 154, the projector can move in the connecting rail direction, but the movement in the direction orthogonal thereto is restricted. Therefore, when multiple projectors are installed, the position of the projector is adjusted only in the left-right direction, and the position adjustment of the front and rear is only necessary to specify the installation location of one projector, and the position adjustment of other projectors is unnecessary. Adjustment of installation becomes easy.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the back side when the projectors are connected and installed in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the power supply cable 304 and the cable 305 connected to the power supply 302 of the projector and the connector 303 are passed through the connecting rail 300 so that the wiring process can be performed, and the wiring can be neatly organized. Further, after passing the cables through the connecting rail 300, the appearance can be improved by covering with the cable cover 301.

  In the present embodiment, the connection recess is described. However, the projector is not limited to this because it can move in the direction of the connection rail and can restrict the forward and backward movement. For example, it may be a connecting hole, a notch, or a convex portion.

  8 and 9 are described using the projector 100 in the first embodiment, it is needless to say that the projector 200 in the second embodiment can be applied.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a plurality of projectors are installed, the installation position can be easily adjusted, and the appearance can be improved.
