Abstract

A projector comprises a light machine, a housing accommodating the light machine, a circuit board disposed above the light machine, a semi-sealed shell covering the circuit board, a copper post supporting the semi-sealed shell and connecting the housing and the semi-sealed shell, and at least one contact element contacting the copper post to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Claims

1. A projector, comprising

a light machine;

a housing accommodating the light machine;

a circuit board disposed above the light machine;

a semi-sealed shell covering the circuit board;

a copper post supporting the semi-sealed shell and connected the housing and the semi-sealed shell; and

at least one contact element disposed on the light machine and contacting the copper post by at least one contact point to prevent electromagnetic interference.

2. The projector as claimed in claim 1, wherein one end of the contact element is fixed to the light machine.

3. The projector as claimed in claim 2, wherein the contact element comprises a linear portion fixed to the light machine.

4. The projector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the contact element comprises a linear portion fixed to the light machine.

5. The projector as claimed in claim 4, wherein the contact element further comprises a curved portion contacting the copper post.

6. The projector as claimed in claim 5, wherein the contact element further comprises a hook portion abutting the light machine.

7. The projector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the contact element comprises metal.

8. The projector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the contact point divides the copper post into sections, each shorter than a critical length.

9. The projector as claimed in claim 8, wherein the critical length is ¼

the wavelength of electromagnetic waves emitted from the copper post.

10. The projector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the contact element is disposed between the copper post and the light machine.
