LOW POWER PROJECTION DISPLAY DEVICES
First Claim
1. A projection-type display device, comprising:
- a light source for generating light;
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;
a projection lens system configured to output light, transmitted by the optical modulation device, along a projection path;
at least one battery that stores electrical energy; and
an electrical energy transport system configured to transmit electrical energy from the battery to the light source and to transmit electrical energy from the battery to the optical modulation device.

Abstract
Described herein are devices that provide projection-type video output in a portable design. The projection-type display devices include a battery that stores electrical energy. The battery increases display device portability and flexible usage by permitting display device operation in locations not serviceable by a fixed power supply. For example, inclusion of a battery extends projector-type display device usage into a car, library, remote environment, or any other setting where fixed power outlets are not readily available or within power cord reach. To increase device endurance from a finite battery power supply, the present invention may also implement one or more hardware designs that reduce power consumption.

11. A display device, comprising:
-
a base that includes a) a housing, b) a light source within the housing for generating light, and c) at least one battery within the housing that stores electrical energy;
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;
a positional interface, coupled to the base and coupled to the projection chamber, that allows the projection chamber to be moved relative to the base and allows the projection chamber to maintain a constant position relative to the base after being moved; and
an electrical energy transport system configured to transmit electrical energy from the at least one battery to the light source and to transmit electrical energy from the at least one battery in the base, through the positional interface, and to the optical modulation device in the projection chamber. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
