Definitions

  • Digital projectors such as digital mirror devices (DMD) and liquid crystal display (LCD) projectors, project high-quality images onto a viewing surface.
  • DMD and LCD projectors utilize high-intensity lamp assemblies to generate the light needed for projection.
  • Light generated by the lamp assembly is created by a burner that produces light concentrated as a "fireball,” located at a focal point of a reflector. This light is directed into a projection assembly that produces images and utilizes the generated light to form the image. The image is then projected onto a viewing surface. Misalignment of the focal point causes degradation of the image, since less light is captured, and creates "hot spots" on the screen instead of a uniform brightness.
  • a burner assembly includes a burner, a header coupled to the burner, a holder coupled to the header, contacts coupled to the holder, and electrical connections coupling the contacts to the burner.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of a display system according to one exemplary embodiment.
  • Fig. 2-1 illustrates a schematic view of a lamp assembly in which the burner assembly is outside of the housing according to one exemplary embodiment.
  • Fig. 2-2 illustrates a schematic view of a lamp assembly in which the burner assembly is coupled to the housing according to one exemplary embodiment.
  • Fig.2-3 illustrates a schematic view of a lamp assembly in which the burner assembly is coupled to the housing and to the reflector according to one exemplary embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of a burner assembly according to one exemplary embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a partial perspective view of a burner assembly focusing on the electrical connection inside a lamp holder according to one exemplary embodiment.
  • Burner assemblies, lamp assemblies, and methods of forming such are provided herein that include burners, headers, and holders. These assemblies and methods place the holder contacts at a location that is relatively remote from the burner. The separation of the burner and the holder contacts may allow for the use of a relatively simple header.
  • Such a separation may allow for the use of relatively inexpensive materials for the holder contacts due to the lower temperature associated at the offset location.
  • the offset may provide space to use relatively simple coupling operations to couple the burner leads to the holder contacts, such as by crimping the burner leads to the flexible wires.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a display system (10).
  • the display system (10) generally includes a power source (15), a lamp assembly (17) including a burner assembly (20) and a reflector (25) housed within a housing (27), a light modulator or projection assembly (30), and a viewing surface (35).
  • the burner assembly (20) is configured to be removably coupled to the reflector (25) and the housing (27).
  • the power source (15) is also coupled to the housing (27).
  • the burner assembly (20) includes electrical contacts that are located remotely from the burner, thereby decreasing heating effects on the electrical contacts and possibly allowing for more rapid formation processes.
  • the burner assembly (20) includes a burner (40) coupled to a header (45).
  • the header (45) provides support and alignment for the burner (40) relative to the reflector (25).
  • the burner assembly (20) also includes a holder (50) coupled to the header (45). Electrodes extend from the burner (40), through the header (45) and holder (50) to holder contacts (55-1, 55-2) on the holder (50). Accordingly, the burner connections (55-1 , 55-2) are located remotely from the burner (40) and the header (45).
  • the burner assembly (20) is configured to be replaceably coupled to the reflector (25).
  • the housing (27) has an opening defined therein that corresponds closely to the cross sectional shape of the holder (50). The burner (40) and header (45) may thus be inserted into the opening until the holder (50) comes into contact with the opening. The holder (50) is then slid toward the reflector (25) until the header (45) comes into contact with the reflector (25).
  • the housing (27) includes housing contacts coupled to the power source (15). These housing contacts are located such that when the burner (40) is thus coupled to the reflector (25), the housing contacts are in contact with the holder contacts (55-1, 55-2) on the holder (50), thereby coupling the power source (15) to the burner (40). Thus, the power source (15) is able to provide power to the burner (40) when the burner assembly (20) is coupled to the housing (27).
  • the burner (40) generates light when it receives power from the power source (15). This light is directed by the reflector (25) to the projection assembly (30). The projection assembly (30) modulates the light to form images that are projected onto the viewing surface (35).
  • the burner (40) emits concentrated light from a central portion or fireball generator (60).
  • the optimal operating position of the fireball generator (60) is the focal point of the reflector (25) during operation of the burner (40). Frequently, as the burner (40) is heated from a non-operating temperature to an operating temperature, the fireball generator (60) will change positions in response to heating or gravitational effects.
  • the position of the fireball generator (60) is offset slightly from the focal point to account for such heating or gravitational effects during operation.
  • the interaction of a burner assembly with a reflector and housing and the orientation of that burner will be discussed in more detail below.
  • Figs. 2-1 through 2-3 illustrate a schematic view of a lamp assembly (17-1) that includes a burner assembly (200), a housing (205), and a reflector (215).
  • the burner assembly (200) includes a burner (210), a header (220), and a holder assembly (230).
  • the burner (210) may be of any suitable type. Suitable burners include, without limitation, ultra-high pressure (UHP) burners. For ease of reference, a UHP burner will be described.
  • UHP ultra-high pressure
  • the burner assembly (200) is shown schematically to focus on the electrical connections contained therein.
  • the burner (210) is coupled to the header (220), which is in turn coupled to the holder assembly (230).
  • a first burner lead (235-1) extends from the distal end of the burner (210), through the header and into the holder assembly (230).
  • the proximal end of the burner (210) extends through the header (220) and into the holder assembly (230).
  • a second burner lead (235-2) extends from this proximal end of the burner (210) and into the holder assembly (230). Accordingly, the first and second burner leads (235-1, 235-2) are routed into the holder assembly (230)
  • the burner leads (235-1 , 235-2) are routed near first and second holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2).
  • Flexible wires (245-1 , 245-2) extend from the first and second holder contacts (240-1, 240-2) to burner leads (235-1, 235-2).
  • These flexible wires (245-1 , 245-2) are coupled to the burner leads (235-1, 235-2) by crimping couplers (270). While crimping couplers (270) may be used to couple the burner leads (235-1, 235-2), any other suitable method may be used, such as spot welding, etc.
  • the flexible wires (245-1 , 245-2) may allow relative motion between the header (220) and the holder assembly (230) while reducing the possibility that the burner leads (235-1, 235-2) will be decoupled from the flexible wires (245-1 , 245-2) and hence the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2).
  • the flexible wires (245-1 , 245-2) may allow relative displacement between the holder contacts (240-1, 240-2) and each of the side portions (245-1 , 245-2) as the burner assembly (200) is coupled to the housing (205) and reflector (215).
  • the interaction between the burner assembly (200) and the housing (205) and reflector (215) will now be discussed in more detail.
  • the first and second holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2) according to one exemplary embodiment are located on guide rails (247).
  • the guide rails (247) are located on opposing sides of the holder assembly (230). In Fig.
  • the holder contacts (240-1, 240-2) are shown in a first position in which the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2) are biased away from the center of the holder assembly (230).
  • the holder contacts (240-1, 240-2) are configured to be coupled to housing contacts (250-1, 250-2) in the housing (205).
  • the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2) are located on the surface of a burner receiving portion (255) of the housing (205).
  • the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2) are biased toward the center of the burner receiving portion (255).
  • the burner receiving portion (255) includes an opening corresponding in size and shape to the cross section of the holder assembly (200).
  • Fig. 2-2 illustrates the burner assembly (200) being coupled to the housing (205) and reflector (215).
  • the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2) As seen in Fig. 2-2, as the guide rails (247) come into contact with the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2), the housing contacts (250-1 , 250-2) are displaced. More specifically, the housing contacts (250-1 , 250-2) are pushed away from the center of the burner receiving portion (255). The displacement of the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2) causes them to exert a biasing force against the holder assembly (230), as indicated by the arrows.
  • the header (220) is configured to be coupled to the reflector (215).
  • the holder assembly (230) is advanced relative to the burner receiving portion (255) until the header (220) comes into contact with the reflector (215).
  • Fig. 2-3 illustrates the burner assembly (200) fully coupled to the housing (205) such that the header (220) is coupled to the reflector (215), the burner (210) is in position relative to the focal point of the reflector (215), and the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2) are coupled to the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2).
  • the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2) come into physical contact with the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2)
  • the holder contacts (240-1, 240- 2) are displaced slightly in response to the biasing force applied thereto by the housing contacts (250-1 , 250-2).
  • This biasing force exerted by the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2) is balanced by a biasing force exerted by the holder contacts (240-1, 240-2) as the holder contacts (240-1, 240-2) are displaced.
  • the opposing biasing forces may help ensure that the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2) remain coupled to the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2).
  • flexible wires (245-1, 245-2) are used to couple the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2) to the burner leads (235-1 , 235-2). As the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2) are displaced, the flexible wires (245-1 , 245-2) flex relative to the relatively stiff burner leads (235-1 , 235-2). Consequently, the flexible wires (245-1, 245-2) may decrease the possibility that the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2) will become decoupled from the burner leads (235-1 , 235-2) and the burner (210).
  • the burner (210) is able to receive power from a power source coupled to the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2).
  • the power is directed to the burner (210) from the housing contacts (250-1, 250-2), to the holder contacts (240-1 , 240-2), to the flexible wires (245-1, 245-2), to the burner leads (235-1, 235-2), and to opposing electrodes in the burner (210).
  • a voltage differential is thereby created at the opposing electrodes in the burner (210). This voltage differential creates a fireball in a central portion (260) of the burner.
  • the burner includes a mercury vapor or other vapor-filled tube that results in the generation of a plasma caused by an arc across the two electrodes.
