20110243497 | OPTICAL SWITCH, IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OPTICAL SWITCH - An optical switch includes electro-optic crystal, and electrode unit including a plurality of electrodes arranged on the same plane in electro-optic crystal to extend in parallel to one another. A refractive index of a part of electro-optic crystal is changed by an electric field generated at electrode unit, thereby switching transmission and reflection of light incident on electro-optic crystal. Electro-optic crystal has an entrance surface through which light enters and an exit surface from which light exits. Electrode unit is located between the entrance surface and the exit surface. An angle θx formed between a longitudinal direction of electrodes and at least one surface from among the entrance surface and the exit surface is set near an angle that satisfies the expression θx=90°−Sin | 10-06-2011 |
20110255148 | OPTICAL SWITCH - An optical switch changes the refractive index of an electro-optical crystal according to an electric field applied to the electro-optical crystal so as to switch depending on whether the electro-optical crystal enables incident light to pass through or whether the electro-optical crystal enables incident light to be totally reflected. The optical switch includes an electrode section including a plurality of electrodes and formed in the electro-optical crystal, a principal plane including the largest area of each electrode on a same plane of the electro-optical crystal; an insulator layer on at least one plane of the electro-optical crystal, the plane being parallel with the electrode section, the insulator layer made of an insulator with lower dielectric constant than the electro-optical crystal; and a temperature control device formed on and in contact with the insulator layer and controls a temperature of the electrode section or dissipates heat generated in the electrode section. | 10-20-2011 |

20130229580 | MULTI-PROJECTION DISPLAY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS THEREOF - A multi-projection display system is provided with a plurality of sensor units corresponding to projector units. The sensor units detect brightness for each color in a projected image that is projected on a screen and supply the detection results. The projector unit generates a brightness correction table on the basis of the image signal of a specific picture element of the projected image realized by an adjacent projector unit and on the basis of the brightness of the specific picture element of the projected image of the adjacent projector unit that is detected by a sensor unit for matching the brightness of the image projected by its own projector unit with that of the adjacent projector unit, refers to the brightness correction table to correct brightness for each color of the image signals that are received as input, and projects onto a screen the light of each color in accordance with the corrected image signals. | 09-05-2013 |
20130278906 | PROJECTOR AND CONTROL METHOD - A projector includes a screen having a periodic array of color stripes for producing visible light depending on incident light, a light source that remits a light beam, a projection unit that scans an area of the screen where the color stripes are disposed, with the light beam in a direction across the color stripes, to display an image on the screen, a detector that detects the visible light from each of the color stripes as a feedback light pulse, and a controller that adjusts a start-of-emission timing of the light source based on a start-of-detection timing at which the feedback light pulse is detected by the detector and a detection period during which the feedback light pulse is detected by the detector, and controlling the light source to emit the light beam in order to apply light pulses to the color stripes within boundaries thereof. | 10-24-2013 |
20130320236 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - An image display device includes an excitation light source; a fluorescent screen including a plurality of phosphor regions that are repeatedly formed in an in-plane direction and a retro-reflection region that reflects a part of incident light in the opposite direction of the incident light; a scanning unit that scans a surface of the fluorescent screen on which the phosphor regions and the retro-reflection region are formed with excitation light from the excitation light source; a photo detection unit that outputs signal value that varies on the basis of an incident light amount onto the photo detection unit; a reflection unit that reflects retro-reflection light of the excitation light directed from the retro-reflection region to the photo detection unit; and a control unit that causes the scanning unit to scan the fluorescent; detects boundaries between the phosphor regions and the retro-reflection region on the fluorescent screen based on the output signal of the photo detection unit, and controls a light emission timing of the excitation light source based on the detected boundaries. | 12-05-2013 |
20130335390 | Multi-projection Display and Brightness Adjustment Method Thereof - A multi-projection display includes: a plurality of projector units; a plurality of optical sensors that are provided corresponding to each of the projector units; and a main control unit that both causes adjustment images to be projected by each of the projector units and vertically synchronizes each projected adjustment image. Each projector unit acquires by a respective optical sensor brightness values of the picture elements that are adjacent between the adjustment image that is projected by the projector unit and the adjustment images that are projected by other projector units and adjusts the brightness of the projected image based on the differences in the acquired brightness values. | 12-19-2013 |
