POSITIONING INTERFACES FOR PROJECTION DISPLAY DEVICES
First Claim
1. A display device, comprising:
- a base that includes a housing and a light source within the housing configured to generate light;
a projection chamber that includes a) a projection chamber housing, b) an optical modulation device configured to selectively transmit light generated by the light source according to video data included in a video signal provided to the optical modulation device, and c) a projection lens system for outputting light transmitted by the optical modulation device along a projection path; and
means for allowing the projection chamber to be moved relative to the base.

Abstract
Described herein are devices that provide projection-type video output in a portable and flexible design. The design includes a projection chamber, a base, and an interface that permits relative positioning between the projection chamber and base. The base maintains the position of the display device. The projection chamber includes components responsible for the production of images based on received video data and components responsible for the projection of those images. Relative pointing between the projection chamber and base allows the projection chamber to be pointed—and an output projected image to be positioned—with minimal effort.
