20080198338 | PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS - A projection display apparatus is provided with a projection distance adjustment mechanism for adjusting a distance between a projection plane and an emitting position of projection light, and provided with a focus adjustment mechanism for making a focus adjustment of a projection image with respect to the projection plane. The focus adjustment mechanism is driven such that a projection image is properly focused onto the projection plane in accordance with the distance between the projection plane and the emitting position. | 08-21-2008 |
20080266528 | PROJECTION DISPLAY DEVICE - A projection lens unit and a projection mirror unit are moved relative to an illumination optical system, between a first position where an image is projected in a shape that is longer along a direction of projection onto a projection plane and a second position where an image is projected in a shape that is longer along a direction perpendicular to the direction of projection onto the projection plane. When the projection lens unit and the projection mirror unit are located in the first position, a vertically long image is projected onto the projection plane (portrait display). In this state, when the projection lens unit and the projection mirror unit are moved to the second position, a horizontally long image is projected onto the projection plane (landscape display). | 10-30-2008 |
20090059177 | ILLUMINATION DEVICE AND PROJECTION DISPLAY DEVICE - An illumination device includes a light source part for emitting light with an intensity distribution approximately uniform in a first direction and a fly-eye lens into which the light is entered. The light source part and the fly-eye lens are arranged such that the first direction is inclined with respect to vertical and horizontal directions of arrangement of lens cells in the fly-eye lens. Since illumination light is entered into the fly-eye lens in a state of inclining with respect to the fly-eye lens, the number of superimposition patterns on the fly-eye lens is increased and illuminance non-uniformity in illumination light is suppressed. | 03-05-2009 |
20100060618 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND PORTABLE TERMINAL DEVICE - An image display device includes a light source which emits laser light; an optical system which is operable to switch between a direct viewing mode of modulating the laser light and displaying the modulated light on a display section, and a projection mode of modulating the laser light and projecting the modulated light on a projection plane; and a control circuit which controls the optical system. The control circuit sets the optical system to the direct viewing mode at the time of activating an electric power source of the image display device. | 03-11-2010 |
20100060809 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND PORTABLE TERMINAL DEVICE - An image display device includes a light source which emits laser light; an optical element which is operable to switch between a first state for reducing a coherence of the laser light and a second state for substantially maintaining the coherence of the laser light; a switching control circuit which controls the optical element; an imager which modulates the laser light transmitted through the optical element; and a modulation control circuit which controls the imager based on an image signal. The modulation control circuit causes the imager to render an image pattern for generating an image by changing alight amount at each pixel position when the optical element is in the first state, and causes the imager to render a hologram pattern for generating an image by diffraction when the optical element is in the second state. | 03-11-2010 |
20110069285 | ILLUMINATION APPARATUS AND PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS - An illumination apparatus includes; a first solid-state light source, a second solid-state light source, a first arrangement member provided with a first arrangement surface, a second arrangement member provided with a second arrangement surface, an optical unit configured to reduce a dispersion angle of a light beam. The first solid-state light source emits a light beam having a first directivity. The second solid-state light source emits a light beam having a second directivity greater than the first directivity. A distance from the second arrangement surface to the second light-entering surface is longer than a distance from the first arrangement surface to the first light-entering surface. | 03-24-2011 |
