Abstract

PURPOSE:To display a picture on any position of a panel sheet on the same condition by forming a spiral cooling pipe on the rear face of a transparent substrate so that its density is lower toward the peripheral part from the center and keeping the temperature distribution uniform on a liquid crystal panel. CONSTITUTION:A liquid crystal 9 in a part corresponding to the intersection between electrodes 13 and 14 shown in a figure (a) is heated by applying a voltage to both electrodes to display a desired picture on a liquid crystal panel 2. If a light source 3 shown in a figure (b) is lit then, its illuminating light is diffused up to the full size of a condenser Fresnel lens 6 by a lens 4 and is projected to the panel 2 throughout. The light is reflected on the electrode 14 and is condensed again by the lens 6 and is projected to a screen by an image forming lens 8. Since the quantity of light of the light source 3 is largest on the optical axis, the panel 2 receives heat most in the center. Since a spiral cooling pipe 16 is so formed that its density is lower toward the peripheral part from the center, the cooling action is most powerful in the center to keep the temperature distribution uniform on the panel 2.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the transmission type liquid crystal panel 5 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6
2.59 is not preferable for use as a projection device because it has a small number of pixels and is small. This is true even if a smectic liquid crystal panel is used. A TN liquid crystal panel is one that is close to that in practical use, but this also uses two polarizing plates, so there is a considerable amount of light loss. Furthermore, in the reflection type projection device shown in Fig. 7, the illumination light is strong;
The light intensity is higher toward the center of the optical axis of the illumination light. Therefore, the temperature increases toward the center of the liquid crystal panel 62, and the temperature distribution is non-uniform. Therefore, even if the same image is displayed, the display state changes between the central part and the peripheral part.

Operation: Therefore, the panel sheet is illuminated by the light source, and the image displayed on the panel sheet is transmitted through the imaging lens. The heat that the panel sheet receives from the light source is highest at the center and gradually decreases toward the periphery, but by controlling the cooling temperature and cooling distribution of the cooling device, the temperature of the panel sheet can be made uniform. This makes it possible to display images under the same conditions at any position.

A large number of electrodes 13 and 14 are formed in parallel on the inner surface of the transparent substrates 11 and 12. The electrodes 13,14 are arranged in mutually orthogonal directions. Further, the electrode 13 is a transparent electrode, but the electrode 14 is formed of a metal plate such as aluminum and also serves as a reflective surface. Then, one transparent substrate 12
A cooling pipe 15, 16, which is a cooling device, is provided on the back side of the unit. These cooling pipes 15, 16 are spiral-shaped and are arranged in a pattern in which the density gradually increases from dense to coarse from the center toward the periphery.

In such a configuration, a desired image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 2 by applying a voltage to the electrodes 13.14 and heating the liquid crystal 9 at a portion corresponding to the point where the electrodes 13.14 intersect. When the light source 3 is turned on, the illumination light is diffused by the condenser lens 4 to the full size of the condensing Fresnel lens 6, is slightly condensed by the condensing Fresnel lens 6, and is irradiated to the full extent of the liquid crystal panel 2. 14, is again focused by a condensing Fresnel lens 6, and is projected onto a screen by an imaging lens 8.

At this time, since the light intensity of the light source 3 is highest at the center of the optical axis, the heat received by the liquid crystal panel 2 is highest at the center and gradually decreases toward the periphery. Therefore, if cooling water of the same temperature is flowed through the cooling pipes 15 and 16, the cooling effect is highest at the center and gradually decreases toward the periphery. Therefore, the liquid crystal panel 2 can be maintained at a uniform temperature distribution, and thereby the liquid crystal panel 2 can display images under the same conditions regardless of the center and periphery.

Note that a plurality of divided cooling pipes may be arranged in a uniform distribution on the back surface of the transparent substrate 14. In this case, by making the temperature of the cooling water flowing through the cooling pipes lower in the central cooling pipes and higher in the peripheral cooling pipes,
Similar results can be obtained.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 4. The same parts as in the previous embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, a plurality of fins 17 serving as a cooling device are formed at the center of the back surface of a transparent substrate 12. Therefore, the fins 17 mainly radiate heat from the center of the liquid crystal panel 2. As a result, although the heat received by the liquid crystal panel 2 from the light source 3 is higher at the center, the temperature of the entire surface of the liquid crystal panel 2 can be approximately equalized.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, the panel sheet is illuminated by the light source and the image displayed on the panel sheet is transmitted through the imaging lens, but the cooling temperature and cooling distribution of the cooling device are controlled. This makes it possible to make the temperature of the panel sheet uniform, which has the effect of allowing images to be displayed under the same conditions at any position.
