Abstract

The heat dissipation portion includes a plurality of plate-like bodies that extend out along a plane which is specified by a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, and are disposed facing each other in a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction, a connecting portion which is located on the second direction side in the plurality of plate-like bodies, and is connected to the heat receiving portion, an opening which is located on an opposite side to the second direction in the heat dissipation portion, and a position corresponding to the connecting portion, and a shielding portion which is located on an opposite side to the second direction in the heat dissipation portion, and in the periphery of the opening.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A light source device comprising:
a light source portion that emits light;
a heat receiving portion that receives heat generated in the light source portion; and
a heat dissipation portion that dissipates heat conducted from the heat receiving portion,
wherein the heat dissipation portion includes
a plurality of plate-like bodies that extend out along a plane which is specified by a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, and are disposed facing each other in a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction,
a connecting portion which is located on the second direction side in the plurality of plate-like bodies, and is connected to the heat receiving portion,
an opening which is located on an opposite side to the second direction in the heat dissipation portion, and a position corresponding to the connecting portion, and
a shielding portion which is located on an opposite side to the second direction in the heat dissipation portion, and in the periphery of the opening.

2. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein a cooling gas sent into the heat dissipation portion through the opening is sent between the plurality of plate-like bodies along the second direction.

3. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding portion is located on at least any of a site on the first direction side in a surface of the heat dissipation portion on the opposite side to the second direction and a site on an opposite side to the first direction.

4. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein a dimension of the opening in the first direction is equal to or less than a dimension of the connecting portion in the first direction.

5. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation portion includes a discharge portion that discharges a cooling gas, to an outside, which is sent to at least any of the first direction side and the opposite side to the first direction with respect to the connecting portion.

6. The light source device according to claim 5 , wherein the discharge portion is located on the same surface as a surface of the heat dissipation portion on which the connecting portion is located.

7. The light source device according to claim 5 , wherein the discharge portions are located at an end face of the heat dissipation portion on the first direction side and an end face thereof on the opposite side to the first direction, respectively.

8. An illumination device comprising:
the light source device according to claim 1 ;
a duct in which at least any of a cooling gas sent to the heat dissipation portion and a cooling gas having cooled the heat dissipation portion is sent thereinto;
a fan, provided in the duct, which sends a cooling gas to the heat dissipation portion; and
a plurality of optical components that act on light emitted from the light source device.

9. The illumination device according to claim 8 , further comprising:
two light source devices; and
a photosynthesis member that synthesizes beams of light emitted from the two light source devices.

10. A projector comprising:
the illumination device according to claim 8 ;
a light modulating device that modulates light emitted from the illumination device; and
a projection optical device that projects light modulated by the light modulating device.
