20090052912 | ABNORMALITY DETERMINING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, COPYING MACHINE, AND INFORMATION OBTAINING METHOD - A time point at which a predetermined period elapses since the start of use of a copying machine as a detection subject after factory shipment or repair is obtained. Pieces of set information, which are combinations of various types of information until the time point is reached are sequentially stored to construct a normal set information group. After the time point is reached, presence of abnormality in the copying machine is determined based on the normal set information group and the various types of information obtained. | 02-26-2009 |
20090147313 | Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and image processing method - An information acquiring unit acquires information indicating whether a color material used at least for image formation is saved. An image-information generating unit creates, when the information acquiring unit acquires the information for saving the color material, image information using the color material of which consumption is saved. | 06-11-2009 |
20140028953 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - An objective of the present invention is to enable making a liquid crystal display device thin, and to enable regional control of window brightness with power conservation. A backlight of a liquid crystal display device comprises a plate-shaped light guiding plate ( | 01-30-2014 |
20140098349 | LIGHT SOURCE UNIT AND PROJECTION DISPLAY SYSTEM USING SAME - The projection display system has a light source unit where a first light source and a second light source respectively emitting a first and second wavelength or wavelength range of light are juxtapositionally arranged; a third light source emitting a third wavelength or wavelength range of light; an optical combiner device for combining the three wavelengths or wavelength ranges of light from the light sources; an optical device for averaging distributions of the wavelengths or wavelength ranges of light; an image display device for receiving the light transmitted through the optical device and forming image light responsive to a video signal; and a projector lens for projecting the image light onto a screen. At least two of the optical axes of the first, second, and third wavelengths or wavelength ranges of light which are incident on the optical device are not coincident with each other. | 04-10-2014 |
20140204307 | LIGHTING DEVICE AND IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A lighting device according to the present invention includes: a curvedly shaped base chassis having a reflection layer on its inner surface; an optical sheet facing the reflection layer to output illuminating light of the lighting device; a light source group, disposed between the base chassis and the optical sheet, including first light sources and second light sources emitting light in mutually opposite directions; a light source substrate mounted with the light source group, and a light distribution adjusting member, covering the optical sheet side of the light source group, to direct light from the light source group into predetermined directions. The directions of light emission from the light source group are in parallel with the light output surface of the optical sheet. The reflection layer is curved such that a portion thereof on each of the two direction sides is concave away from the optical sheet. | 07-24-2014 |
20140268358 | VIRTUAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A virtual image display device includes: an image projection device that projects an image light; a diverging element on which the image light emitted from the image projection device is incident, spreading the image light out over a range of a predetermined angle; and a light branching element that reflects the image light emitted from the diverging element, while transmitting the incident light from the surface other than the reflecting surface. The image light from the image projection device is formed into an image on the diverging element. A virtual image of the image formed on the diverging element is generated on an extension line in the opposite direction to the emission direction of the image light reflected from the light branching element. Further, an optical axis converting element is provided to convert the optical axis of the image light emitted from the image projection device, into a predetermined direction. | 09-18-2014 |
20140285541 | LIGHT IRRADIATION DEVICE - A light irradiation device to display an image by light irradiation prevents easy perception of distortion occurring in the displayed image due to vibration of the device or movement of viewpoint. A random number is generated, and the refresh rate of the displayed image is distributed at random in correspondence with the random number. The light emission intensity is changed in correspondence with the refresh rate. When the number of lines is changed, the input video signal is subjected to scaling and a display is produced. The refresh rate is changed in correspondence with the frequency of the vibration detected with the vibration monitor. | 09-25-2014 |
20140320826 | OPTICAL UNIT AND PROJECTIVE DISPLAY DEVICE - In an optical unit of a projective display device which projects light source light reflected by a DMD, one prism of TIR prisms has a first boundary surface which is arranged in parallel to an emission surface of the light source light of other prism at a predetermined distance and on which the light source light from other prism is incident and a second boundary surface which is provided to face the DMD and emits the light source light illuminating the DMD and on which reflected light from the DMD is incident. When a swinging angle of minute mirrors of the DMD is set as ±θ, a refractive index of the prisms is set as n, an angle formed by the first boundary surface and the second boundary surface is set as β, and an emission angle of the light source light with respect to the DMD in the second boundary surface is set as α, the swinging angle θ, the refractive index n, the angle β, and the angle α satisfy a predetermined relation. | 10-30-2014 |
