| 20100141897 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - An image display apparatus includes an LD for emitting and modulating visible light, an optical scanning device for two-dimensionally scanning the light from the Ld on a screen in synchronism with the LD, an imaging device for picturizing an image of the image displayed on the screen, and an image processor for judging presence or absence of the pointing element such as a finger or fingers which is/are used to point out an optional position on the image based on temporal change of the image picturized by the imaging device. Even when the finger or fingers of a person is/are used as the pointing element, it is possible to judge the presence or absence of the pointing out of the image by the finger or fingers. Thereby, a number of components can be reduced. In addition, in comparison with an image display apparatus that emits invisible light detects a position of a pointing element corresponding to a photoreception timing of the invisible light reflected by the pointing element, a complex detection circuit having a high time-resolution becomes unnecessary, and it enables to simplify the configuration and to reduce manufacturing cost. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100053563 | DIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING PROJECTOR - A DLP projector includes a light source generating white light beams, a color wheel separating the white light beams into three colored light beams, an integration rod rendering the colored light beams uniform, a projection lens, a DMD, a light-shade and a light-absorbing member. When a light beam on a first path is in use, a micro mirror of the DMD reflects the light beam on the first path to follow a second path towards the projection lens. Otherwise, the micro mirror reflects the light beam on the first path to follow a third, fourth and fifth path out of the projection lens. The light-shade is positioned in a light path of the light beam out of the projection lens. The light-absorbing member is under the light-shade and absorbs the light beam on the fifth path, the light beam on a sixth and a seventh path reflected by the light-shade. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20110116052 | ILLUMINATION DEVICE AND PROJECTOR - An illumination device includes: a light source which has an emission surface forming area where a plurality of emission surfaces are disposed; a plurality of converging lenses disposed in correspondence with the plural emission surfaces to converge emission lights emitted from the emission surfaces; a first fly-eye lens which divides lights converged by the plural converging lenses into a plurality of partial lights; a second fly-eye lens which converges the plural partial lights; and a condenser lens which stacks the plural partial lights converged by the second fly-eye lens on an illumination receiving area, wherein the plural converging lenses stack the emission lights on the first fly-eye lens. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110188003 | ILLUMINATION DEVICE AND PROJECTION-TYPE IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A light source having (a) a light emitter that emits a light beam along a first axis, the light beam having a highest degree of anisotropic coherency in a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; and (b) a light multiplexer positioned optically downstream of the light emitter, the multiplexer having an axis of multiplexing perpendicular to the first axis, the second axis and the axis of multiplexing being oriented at an angle with respect to each other that is other than 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20120008099 | DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR PROJECTING IMAGES ONTO A SCREEN - A device and system for projecting images onto a screen, wherein the device and devices which are included in the system have associated therewith components comprising a light source, a cooling means for the light source, at least one of a reflector adapted to focus light from the light source and a focusing lens that receives light from the light source, a dynamic colour filter that receives light from at least one of the light source/reflector and the focusing lens, a light-shaping lens or rod that transmits light which has passed through the filter, an image-forming element that receives light from the light-shaping lens or rod, and a lens for projecting onto the screen images received from the image-forming element. At least the light source and the cooling means are placed in a first component housing separate from the other components that are located in at least one further component housing, and the connection between the component housings is effected by at least one liquid light guide. The system is characterised in that at least said light source and cooling means are installed in a plurality of first component housings or in one first component housing common to the projector devices, that other components associated with each projector device are arranged in at least one respective further component housing separate from said respective or common first component housing, and that respective liquid light guides connect said further component housings and said respective component housings or the common first component housing. The screen and at least one of said further component housings are placed in a projection room separated from rooms in which the other component housings are placed, thereby obtaining a substantial noise reduction in the projection room. | 01-12-2012 |
