Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080239144FRAME RATE CONVERSION DEVICE AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - An interpolation frame generation unit includes a first unit that uses, with respect to each of pixel positions, which are determined to be a motionless region by a region determination unit, in an interpolation frame, any of an image at the same pixel position in the preceding frame, an image at the same pixel position in the current frame, and an average of the images at the same pixel position in the preceding frame and the current frame as an interpolated image at the pixel position, and a second unit that extracts, with respect to each of pixel positions, which are determined to be a motion region by the region determination unit, in the interpolation frame, an image corresponding to the pixel position in the interpolation frame from either one of the preceding frame and the current frame on the basis of a motion vector for a block including the pixel position and uses the extracted image as an interpolated image.10-02-2008
20080246927PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS - A projection display apparatus includes: a light amount sensor which detects an amount of light emitted from an array light source; a deterioration rate calculator which acquires an amount of light of a measurement target light source from the amount of light detected by the light amount sensor; a reference light amount storage which stores a reference amount of light of an amount of light emitted from plurality of solid state light sources, for each of the solid state light sources; and a light source controller which controls the amount of light emitted from the plurality of solid state light sources for each of the solid state light sources, and the deterioration rate calculator determines whether the measurement target light source has deteriorated, in accordance with a result of a comparison between the amount of light detected by the light amount sensor, and the reference amount of light.10-09-2008
20080279238ILLUMINATION APPARATUS, DISPLAY APPARATUS AND PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS - An illumination apparatus includes: a solid-state light source; a Peltier element configured to cool the solid-state light source; a light amount sensor configured to detect an amount of a light emitted from the solid-state light source; a power consumption monitor configured to monitor power consumptions of the solid-state light source and the Peltier element; and a power controller configured to control powers supplied to the solid-state light source and the Peltier element. The power controller controls the powers supplied to the solid-state light source and the Peltier element, on the basis of the light amount detected by the light amount sensor and a sum of the power consumptions of the solid-state light source and the Peltier element.11-13-2008
20080291343ILLUMINATING APPARATUS AND PROJECTION IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - An illuminating apparatus comprises a light source and an optical system for guiding the light from the light source to an imager such as a liquid crystal panel. The optical system has an optical element disposed for changing a traveling direction of the light traveling to the imager in accordance with a control signal. The optical element is controlled such that, out of all pixel regions on the imager, part of the light amount to be applied to low-brightness pixel regions is distributed to high-brightness pixel regions.11-27-2008
20080303954Signal Processing Apparatus, Image Display Apparatus, And Signal Processing Method - A signal processing apparatus 12-11-2008
20090015796ILLUMINATION APPARATUS AND PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS - The illumination apparatus includes a color separator configured to separate a white light beam, emitted from a white light source, into a plurality of color component light beams, a plurality of imagers each configured to modulate a corresponding one of the plurality of color component light beams separated by the color separator and a polarization modulator provided on a light incident side of one imager included in the plurality of imagers. The polarization modulator modulates a polarization direction of a modulation-object light beam which is part of a color component light beam guided to the one imager.01-15-2009
20090022411IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - An image display apparatus 01-22-2009
20110013041SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE AND PROJECTION-TYPE IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A signal processing device (01-20-2011
20110025988PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS AND IMAGE ADJUSTMENT METHOD - A projection display apparatus includes; an element control unit configured to control a light valve so as to display a test pattern image configuring at least one portion of a respective one of three or more line segments configuring three or more crossing points; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a pickup image of the test pattern image outputted along a predetermined line from an image pickup element configured to pick up the test pattern image projected on a projection plane; a computation unit configured to specify three or more crossing points from three or more line segments included in the pickup image, based upon the pickup image acquired by the acquisition unit, and to compute a positional relationship between the projection image apparatus and the projection plane, based upon the three or more crossing points; and an adjustment unit configured to adjust an image projected on the projection plane, based upon the positional relationship between the projection display apparatus and the projection plane. The three or more line segments have an inclination relative to the predetermined line.02-03-2011
20110157555STEREOSCOPIC-IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - An image signal storing unit stores an image signal provided from the outside. An image processing unit appropriately processes the image signal stored in the image signal storing unit in accordance with the instruction from an adjusting unit. A projecting unit projects, onto a display area, light corresponding to an image created by the image processing unit. A display size determination unit computes the display size of the picture plane displayed on a screen based on an image captured by the camera provided adjacent to the projection-type video-image display device. The display size determination unit then determines whether or not the display size of the picture plane is equal to or larger than a predetermined upper-limit size.06-30-2011
