Abstract

A power board and ballast module includes a housing, a power board, a ballast and an electrical connector. The power board is disposed in the housing. The ballast is disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the power board. The electrical connector is disposed in the housing and exposed out of the housing, wherein the power board and the ballast are electrically connected to the electrical connector respectively. Projectors using the power board and ballast module are also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A projector comprising:
a casing comprising a containing tank;
an opto-mechanical module disposed in the casing;
a first electrical connector disposed in the containing tank, the opto-mechanical module being electrically connected to the first electrical connector; and
a power board and ballast module, comprising:
a housing detachably disposed in the containing tank;
a power board disposed in the housing;
a ballast disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the power board; and
a second electrical connector disposed in the housing and exposed out of the housing, the power board and the ballast being electrically connected to the second electrical connector respectively, wherein when the housing is disposed in the containing tank, the first electrical connector is electrically connected to the second electrical connector.

2. The projector of claim 1 , wherein the power board and ballast module further comprises a handheld part disposed on the housing.

3. The projector of claim 2 wherein the handheld part is pivotally connected to the housing.

4. The projector of claim 2 , wherein the housing comprises a fillister for containing the handheld part.

5. The projector of claim 1 , wherein an inner side of the containing tank comprises a first slide slot or a first slide rail, an outer side of the housing comprises a second slide rail corresponding to the first slide slot or a second slide slot corresponding to the first slide rail.

6. The projector of claim 1 , wherein when the housing is disposed in the containing tank, an outer side of the housing and an outer side of the casing are substantially coplanarized.

7. The projector of claim 1 , further comprising a cover for covering the containing tank.

8. A projector comprising:
a casing comprising a containing tank;
an opto-mechanical module disposed in the casing;
a first electrical connector disposed in the containing tank, the opto-mechanical module being electrically connected to the first electrical connector; and
an electronic module comprising:
a housing detachably disposed in the containing tank;
a plurality of electronic components disposed in the housing; and
a second electrical connector disposed in the housing and exposed out of the housing, the plurality of electronic components being electrically connected to the second electrical connector individually, wherein when the housing is disposed in the containing tank, the first electrical connector is electrically connected to the second electrical connector.

9. The projector of claim 8 , wherein the electronic module further comprises a handheld part disposed on the housing.

10. The projector of claim 9 , wherein the handheld part is pivotally connected to the housing.

11. The projector of claim 9 , wherein the housing comprises a fillister for containing the handheld part.

12. The projector of claim 8 , wherein an inner side of the containing tank comprises a first slide slot or a first slide rail, an outer side of the housing comprises a second slide rail corresponding to the first slide slot or a second slide slot corresponding to the first slide rail.

13. The projector of claim 8 , wherein when the housing is disposed in the containing tank, an outer side of the housing and an outer side of the casing are substantially coplanarized.

14. The projector of claim 8 , further comprising a cover for covering the containing tank.

15. The projector of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of electronic components comprise a power board and a ballast.
