353082000 | PLURAL PROJECTION PATHS WITH SINGLE LIGHT SOURCE | 7 |
20090141251 | ILLUMINATION SYSTEM TO ELIMINATE LASER SPECKLE AND PROJECTION SYSTEM EMPLOYING THE SAME - An illumination system designed to remove laser speckle and a projection system including the same. The illumination system includes a laser light source having at least one laser, a diffractive optical element to divide a laser beam emitted from the laser light source into a plurality of sub-beams and to periodically move in such a way as to temporally average the speckle of the laser beam, and an optical fiber bundle including a plurality of fibers with the same length to divide the sub-beams into smaller sub-beams. The illumination system divides the laser beam emitted from the laser light source into sub-beams and temporally or spatially averages the sub-beams, thereby effectively reducing or removing laser speckle. The projection system employing the illumination system can provide improved image quality. | 06-04-2009 |
20100231868 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device is revealed. The display device includes a laser source for emitting a laser beam, a pre-optics for processing the laser beam, a light scan member such as a MEMS mirror for converting the processed laser beam into a scanning light beam, and/or a corresponding post-optics. A switch-control beam splitter is disposed on the light path of the laser beam, after the light scan member so as to divide the scanning light beam into a reflected light beam and a transmitted light beam. They are two different light paths and generate a virtual image as well as a real image respectively. | 09-16-2010 |
20100315603 | ELEVATOR SHAFT PROJECTION SYSTEM - A projection system configured in an elevator shaft is designed to project a same image at a same time on elevator shaft doors of different stories with a single projector. Each of the shaft doors functions as a projection screen, persons in the lobby before the elevator shaft door can watch the image or images displayed on the shaft door during the time waiting for the elevator car. | 12-16-2010 |
20110116055 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes: a first projector that scans light on a first display section to thereby display an image; a second projector that scans the light on a second display section, which is set in a position different from a position of the first display section, to thereby display an image; and a switching section that switches plural states including a first state in which the first projector displays the image on the first display section and a second state in which the second projector displays an image on the second display section. | 05-19-2011 |
20120092628 | PROJECTION OPTICAL SYSTEM AND IMAGE PROJECTOR - A projection optical system configured to project an image onto a projection surface includes a first optical system including at least one dioptric system and having positive power as a whole; a second optical system including a reflection region and a transmission region; and a third optical system including at least one reflecting surface having power, and having positive power as a whole, wherein light entering the projection optical system passes through the first optical system to have a path thereof bent by the reflection region of the second optical system to be incident on the third optical system, and the light incident on the third optical system has the path thereof bent by the third optical system to pass through the transmission region of the second optical system to be incident on the projection surface. | 04-19-2012 |
20120206697 | BIDIRECTIONAL PROJECTOR - A bidirectional projector, which may project slides onto two screens at the same time, includes a light source emitting red beam, green beam, and blue beam; at least an imaging device receiving the red beam, the green beam, and the blue beam from the light source and reflecting predetermined parts of the red beam, the green beam, and the blue beam to form an image beam according to image signals; and an optical lens, wherein the image beam emits to the optical lens and a part of the image beam passes through the optical lens to form a first projecting beam, and a part of the image beam is reflected by the optical lens to form a second projecting beam. | 08-16-2012 |
20140016104 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH MULTIPLE PROJECTING FUNCTIONS - A portable electronic device with multiple projecting functions is provided. The portable electronic device includes a main body, a projecting module, and a switching mechanism. The projecting module is disposed within the main body for generating an image beam. The switching mechanism is movably disposed on the main body. When the switching mechanism is located at a first position, the image beam is projected along a first projecting path, and the portable electronic device is in a first operating mode. When the switching mechanism is located at a second position, the image beam is projected along a second projecting path, and the portable electronic device is in a second operating mode. | 01-16-2014 |
