20110109785 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS - An image capturing apparatus includes a camera body having an image-capturing lens for receiving light to form an image of a subject and a display unit having a display screen for displaying the image. The display unit is slidably supported by the camera body. A surface of the display unit opposite a surface having the display screen disposed thereon faces a surface of the camera body opposite a surface having the image-capturing lens disposed thereon. An image capture button is disposed on the surface of the camera body opposite the surface having the image-capturing lens disposed thereon. The image capture button is exposed when the display unit is slid over the camera body in a first direction and the image capture button is covered by the display unit when the display unit is slid over the camera body in a second direction opposite the first direction. | 05-12-2011 |
20110157806 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A power switch and connector that are conventionally included in a body are formed in spaces created at the outer ends of the shafts of hinges other than the body and a display, whereby the body is thinned. Electronic device comprises a body, a display, and a hinge that joins the body and display so that they can be freely opened or closed. A power switch is formed at an end of the shaft of the hinge. Furthermore, the electronic device comprises the body, the display, and another hinge that joins the body and display so that they can be freely opened or closed. A port of a connector opens at an end of the shaft of the hinge. | 06-30-2011 |
20110241975 | HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY - There is provided a head mounted display including a glasses-type frame to be worn on a head of an observer; two optical modules including two image creation devices, and two light guides having two light guide plates coupled one-to-one with the two image creation devices and placed closer to a center of a face of the observer than the image creation devices are as a whole, that guide light beams output from the image creation devices and output the light beams toward pupils of the observer; and an optical plate supporting the two light guides, wherein the optical plate is attached to a center part of the frame. | 10-06-2011 |
20120162878 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device includes a display main body having a housing having an opening formed through the front surface and a display unit attached to the housing to close the opening and displaying an image, a stand base placed on a mounting surface, and at least one support connected to the display main body at one end and connected to the stand base at the other end, in which the support includes a cable inputting/outputting power or signals to/from the display main body and a coating covering the cable. | 06-28-2012 |
20130070431 | DISPLAY, ELECTRONIC UNIT, AND SUPPORTING SUBSTRATE - There are provided a display and an electronic unit that realize excellent operability when display content is switched based on a user operation associated with a variation in a physical form, and a supporting substrate employed in such a display. The display includes: a supporting substrate having flexibility; and a display section provided on the supporting substrate. The flexibility of the supporting substrate gradually increases toward an edge in a first region provided at at least a portion on a side of the edge in a plane thereof. | 03-21-2013 |
20130070949 | SOUND-REPRODUCING APPARATUS, LIGHTING APPARATUS, AND SUSPENDED OPENING AND CLOSING APPARATUS - A sound-reproducing apparatus includes plural coupling portions, plural rods, plural shell portions, an actuator, and first, second, and third speakers. The coupling portions are disposed at positions corresponding to vertices of an assumed first regular tetrahedron and second regular tetrahedron in a duality relation. The rods connect adjacent coupling portions with each other among the coupling portions. The shell portions are joined to the rods. The actuator is disposed outside one coupling portion selected from the coupling portions with respect to a center of the first regular tetrahedron or second regular tetrahedron, and the actuator is connected with the one coupling portion. The first, second, and third speakers are disposed on, of the four coupling portions disposed at positions corresponding to the vertices of the one of the first and second regular tetrahedra including the one coupling portion, three coupling portions excluding the one coupling portion. | 03-21-2013 |
