Abstract

A projection display device has a power supply unit which supplies electric power from an external power supply, a charging circuit which charges a rechargeable battery with the power supply unit, an alarm part for outputting an alarm sound, and a switching circuit which supplies either the electric power from the power supply unit or an electric power from the rechargeable battery to the alarm part. When a voltage from the rechargeable battery becomes less than a threshold value, the electric power supply from the rechargeable battery to the alarm part is cut off, and power consumption of the rechargeable battery is suppressed.

Claims

1. A projection display device, comprising:

a power supply part which supplies electric power from an external power supply;

a charging part which charges a rechargeable battery with the power supply part;

an alarm part for outputting an alarm sound;

a switching part which supplies either one of the electric power from the power supply part or an electric power from the rechargeable battery to the alarm part; and

a cutoff part which cuts off a supply of the electric power from the rechargeable battery to the alarm part when a charge quantity of the rechargeable battery becomes less than a threshold value.

2. The projection display device according to claim 1, wherein

the cutoff part is arranged between the rechargeable battery and the switching part.

3. The projection display device according to claim 1, wherein

the threshold value is set at a lower limit value of a voltage range where the alarm part can operate normally.

4. The projection display device according to claim 1, wherein

the threshold value is set at a voltage value which is determined beforehand to suspend discharge of the rechargeable battery.

5. The projection display device according to claim 1, wherein

the alarm part has a distinguish part for distinguishing whether the projection display device is moved, and outputs the alarm sound when an electric power from the rechargeable battery is supplied to the alarm part by the switching part, and when the distinguish part determines that the projection display device is moved.
