Abstract

The present invention provides a mini-projector apparatus for combining with a portable device. The mini-projector apparatus includes a base which is a heat sink. A mini-projector is disposed on the base. A heat conduction medium is disposed between the base and the mini-projector. A top housing is capable of combining with the base such that the mini-projector and the heat conduction medium can be fixed between the base and the top housing. The portable device may be fixed on the top housing.

Claims

a bottom cover, which is a heat sink;

a mini projector, configured on said base;

a heat conduction medium, configured between said base and said mini projector; and

a top cover, for combined with said bottom cover to facilitate said mini projector and said heat conduction medium fixing between said top cover and said bottom cover, and said portable device capable of fixing on said top cover.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said top cover comprises a lock portion for locking said portable device.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said lock portion has a slide for facilitating said portable device sliding into said lock portion along said slide to fix on said top cover.

4. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said top cover further comprises a second lock portion for locking said bottom cover.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said bottom cover comprises a fixture for facilitating said mini projector fixing on said bottom cover.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said bottom cover comprises a joint focus ring structure which allows for a focus ring of said mini projector.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said portable device comprises a touch wireless video output device, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a portable game console, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a notebook or a Tablet PC.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a gap is located between said mini projector and said bottom cover for said heat conduction media capable of contacting said mini projector and said bottom cover, respectively.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein material of said bottom cover comprises ceramic, metal or alloy.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein material of said heat conduction medium comprises silicon grease, silicone, plastic, graphite films, mica, phase change material, metal or alloy.
