Abstract:
An image projection device includes a replaceable air filter placed near an opening of a housing, a switcher for switching step by step a working area of the air filter, an air-speed meter for detecting a pollution level of the air filter, and a controller for controlling the switcher. When the air-speed meter detects that the pollution level of the air filter reaches a given threshold, the controller prompts the switcher to switch the working area of the air filter, and then detects a pollution level of the air filter after the switchover for determining whether or not the working area before the switchover needs to be switched.
Abstract:
A projection display device includes: a leg section that supports a main body of the projection display device with respect to an installation surface on which the main body is installed; and a filter section that is disposed on a bottom of the main body and exposes a first air intake surface to the outside. In this arrangement, the first air intake surface is inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the main body in a direction that departs from the installation surface, and air flows into the filter section through a clearance between the first air intake surface and the installation surface.
