Abstract

In a projection system for projecting graphic charts or the like which are laid on a flat transparent base, it is proposed that, for the projection of still or moving graphics, the base should be a translucent liquid crystal screen (4) which can be laid on the translucent or transparent flat worktop (5) lying in the projection path of an overhead projector, and that the liquid crystal screen should be connected to the processor (1) of a computer, laptop (2) or notebook.

Description

ProjektionseinrichtungProjection device

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Projektionseinrichtung für auf einem flachen durchsichtigen Träger angeordneten Graphiken od.dgl..The invention relates to a projection device for graphics or the like arranged on a flat transparent support.

Es ist bekannt als Träger für Graphiken od.dgl. durch¬ sichtige Folien zu verwenden und auf Projektionseinrich¬ tungen mit ebener Arbeitsplatte, sogenannten Overhead- projektoren zum Einsatz zu bringen. Die Verwendung von Folien als Träger der Graphiken od.dgl. zeigt sich dabei als arbeitsaufwendig und ermöglicht nur starre Projek¬ tionen. Ferner sind zur Kenntlichmachung von Detials der projizierten Graphiken od.dgl. Zeigestäbe oder Licht¬ strahlgeräte erforderlich.It is known as a support for graphics or the like. to use transparent foils and to use them on projection devices with a flat worktop, so-called overhead projectors. The use of foils as a support for the graphics or the like. shows itself to be labor-intensive and only enables rigid projections. Furthermore, for identifying details of the projected graphics or the like. Pointers or light beam devices required.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung von Maßnahmen zur wahlweisen Darstellung starrer oder beweglicher Gra¬ phiken od.dgl. unter Verwendung von Overheadprojektoren.The object of the invention is to provide measures for the optional display of rigid or movable graphics or the like. using overhead projectors.

Der Erfindung gemäß ist diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Träger der Graphiken od.dgl. durch einen licht¬ durchlässigen Flüssigkristallbildschirm gebildet ist, der auf einer im Projektionsstrahlengang eines Overhead- projektors angeordneten durchscheinenden oder durchsich¬ tigen ebenen Arbeitsplatte auflegbar und mit dem Rechner eines Computers, Laptops oder Notebooks verbunden ist. Bevorzugt kann der Flüssigkriεtallbildschirm durch ein um die Kontrastplatte vermindertes Display eines Laptops oder Notebooks gebildet sein. Auf diese Weise ist die Projektion starrer oder beweglicher Graphiken od.dgl. möglich, wobei die Graphiken od.dgl. vom Rechner belie¬ big veränderbar sind. Die bekannte Benutzung einer Viel- zahl Folien, z.B. zu Vorträgen oder Präsentationen ent¬ fällt, was auch zu einem Fortfall von umweltbelastendem Folienmüll führt. Die Projektion kann in schwarz/weiß oder farbig erfolgen.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the support of the graphics or the like. is formed by a translucent liquid crystal screen which can be placed on a translucent or transparent flat worktop arranged in the projection beam path of an overhead projector and which is connected to the computer of a computer, laptop or notebook. The liquid crystal screen can preferably be formed by a display of a laptop or notebook reduced by the contrast plate. In this way, the projection of rigid or moving graphics or the like. possible, the graphics or the like. are arbitrarily changeable by the computer. The well-known use of a variety Number of foils, for example lectures or presentations, is eliminated, which also leads to the elimination of environmentally harmful foil waste. The projection can be in black and white or in color.

In Ausgestaltung der Projektionseinrichtung ist vorge¬ sehen, daß der Flüssigkristallbildschirm und der Rechner durch flexible elektrische Leiter miteinander verbunden sind. Auch ist es möglich den Flüssigkristallbildschirm und den Rechner in anderer Weise, z.B. durch Infrarot¬ strahlung miteinander in Verbindung zu bringen.In an embodiment of the projection device, it is provided that the liquid crystal screen and the computer are connected to one another by flexible electrical conductors. It is also possible to use the liquid crystal screen and the computer in another way, e.g. to bring them together by infrared radiation.

Schließlich ist eine umständliche Benutzung von Zeige¬ stäben zur Hervorhebung von Details der projizierten Graphik od.dgl. dadurch unnötig, daß Details durch die Anzeige der Maus oder des Trackballs des Rechners er¬ kennbar gemacht werden können.Finally, laborious use of pointers to highlight details of the projected graphic or the like is necessary. unnecessary in that details can be made recognizable by the display of the mouse or the trackball of the computer.

Wie die Erfindung ausführbar ist, zeigt das m der Zeichnung dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel. Hierin bedeuten:The embodiment shown in the drawing shows how the invention can be carried out. Here mean:

Fig. 1 einen Laptop mit einem Rechner und einem Flüs¬ sigkristallbildschirm aufweisenden Display in perspektivischer Darstellung und1 is a perspective view of a laptop with a computer and a liquid crystal display screen, and

Fig. 2 eine Projektionseinrichtung, perspektivisch.Fig. 2 shows a projection device, in perspective.

In den Fig. ist mit 1 der Rechner eines Laptops 2 oder Notebooks bezeichnet, an dem ein Display 3 schwenkbeweg¬ lich abnehmbar angeordnet ist. Das Display 3 weist einen Flüssigkristallbildschirm 4 auf, der durch eine abnehm¬ bare Kontrastplatte hintergriffen ist. In Fig. 2 ist das Display 3 vom Rechner 1 abgenommen und die Kontrastplatte des Displays 3 vom Flüssigkristall¬ bildschirm 4 entfernt. Der auf diese Weise von beiden Seiten lichtdurchlässige Flüssigkristallbildschirm 4 ist auf die Arbeitsplatte 5 eines Overheadpro.ektors 6 auf¬ gelegt. Mit seinem Anschlußrahmen 4' ist der Flüssig¬ kristallbildschirm 4 durch elektrische Leiter 7 mit dem Rechner 1 des Laptops 2 oder Notebooks verbunden. Die auf dem Flüssigkristallbildschirm 4 erscheinenden Gra- phiken 10 od.dgl. können nunmehr vermittels der opti¬ schen Einrichtung des Overheadprojektors 6 über einen ümlenkεpiegel 8 auf eine Bildfläche 9 projiziert werden. Vermittels des Rechners 1 ist die Graphik od.dgl. auf dem Flüssigkristallbildschirm veränderbar, wodurch eine hohe Flexibilität in der Vorführung von Graphiken od. dgl., z.B. zu Vorträgen erzielbar ist. Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit, vermittels des Zeigers einer Maus oder eines Trackballs (nicht gezeigt) des Rechners 1 Anzeigen zur Verdeutlichung von Details auf dem Flüssigkπstall- bildschir aufzubringen, die durch Projektion auf der Bildfläche 9 erscheinen. In the figures, 1 denotes the computer of a laptop 2 or notebook, on which a display 3 is arranged so that it can be swiveled and removed. The display 3 has a liquid crystal screen 4, which is gripped behind by a removable contrast plate. 2, the display 3 is removed from the computer 1 and the contrast plate of the display 3 is removed from the liquid crystal screen 4. The liquid crystal screen 4, which is thus transparent from both sides, is placed on the work surface 5 of an overhead projector 6. With its connecting frame 4 ', the liquid crystal screen 4 is connected to the computer 1 of the laptop 2 or notebook by electrical conductors 7. The graphics 10 or the like appearing on the liquid crystal screen 4. can now be projected onto an image surface 9 by means of the optical device of the overhead projector 6 via a deflecting mirror 8. By means of the computer 1 is the graphic or the like. changeable on the liquid crystal screen, whereby a high flexibility in the presentation of graphics or the like, for example for lectures, can be achieved. There is also the possibility of using the pointer of a mouse or a trackball (not shown) of the computer 1 to bring up displays on the liquid cell screen to illustrate details which appear on the screen 9 by projection.
