Patent Images
1. A projector, comprising:
- an image creation unit that projects image information upon a screen, comprising a plurality of picture elements that create an image pattern corresponding to the image information; and
an illumination unit in which light emitting members are disposed upon a vertical plane in different locations with respect to an optical axis which passes through a center of the image creation unit, at equal distances from the optical axis;
a portable telephone functional portion for performing communication that is external to the projector;
a chassis unit that houses the image creation unit, the illumination unit and the portable telephone functional portion, and that is formed with two chassis components connected together by a hinge construction about which the two chassis components are able to swing;
an angle detector, disposed in the chassis unit, that detects an angle subtended between the two chassis components; and
a controller, disposed in the chassis unit, that controls the image creation unit and the illumination unit so as to project image information indicating receipt of a communication when the portable telephone functional portion has received the communication, while the angle detected by the angle detector is less than a predetermined angle and the projector is set in a projector mode for performing a projection operation.

16. A projector, comprising:
-
an image creation unit, through which image information is projected upon a screen, that comprises a plurality of picture elements that create an image pattern corresponding to the image information; a light emitting diode constituting a single light emitting member of an area substantially equal to an area of the image creation unit; a portable telephone functional portion for performing communication that is external to the projector; a chassis unit that houses the image creation unit, the light emitting diode and the portable telephone functional portion, and that is formed with two chassis components connected together by a hinge construction about which the two chassis components are able to swing; an angle detector, disposed in the chassis unit, that detects an angle subtended between the two chassis components; and a controller, disposed in the chassis unit, that controls the image creation unit and the light emitting diode so as to project image information indicating receipt of a communication when the portable telephone functional portion has received the communication, while the angle detected by the angle detector is less than a predetermined angle and the projector is set in a projector mode for performing a projection operation. - View Dependent Claims (17)
