20090141238 | MIRROR DRIVER USING DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED MECHANICAL BEAMS WITH MIRROR INBETWEEN AND RETINAL SCANNING DISPLAY USING THE SAME - A mirror driver is disclosed which includes: a mirror having a reflective surface reflecting incident light thereon; a pair of mechanical beams diametrically opposed to each other with the mirror inbetween as viewed along a reference line parallel to the reflective surface; an actuator imparting bending motions to the pair of beams, respectively; and a pair of joints integrally coupling the pair of beams and the mirror to each other, with less rigidity to resist deformation than rigidity of the pair of beams and the mirror, for allowing conversion of the bending motions of the pair of beams into a rigid-body motion of the mirror without inducing an angular oscillation about the reference line. | 06-04-2009 |
20100007935 | Optical scanning device, retinal scanning display and manufacturing method of optical scanning device - An optical scanning device includes an oscillating mirror portion having a reflection surface, and a frame portion holding the oscillating mirror portion. The optical scanning device reflects an incident optical flux by the reflection surface so as to convert the incident optical flux into a scanned optical flux. The optical scanning device further includes a reflection portion having a first reflection surface and a second reflection surface which are arranged in substantially V-shaped inclined surfaces. The first reflection surface reflects the incident optical flux and radiates the reflected light toward the oscillating mirror portion. The second reflection surface receives the reflected light from the oscillating mirror portion and radiates the reflected light as the scanned optical flux. | 01-14-2010 |
20110075178 | MULTI-FUNCTION APPARATUS - A multi-function apparatus includes a body, an image reading unit, a document cover and a locking member. The image reading unit is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The document cover is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The locking member is movable to a first position and a second position and includes a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion. In response to a movement of the document cover to the opened position, the locking member moves to the first position and locks the image reading unit to the closed position. In response to a movement of the image reading unit to the opened position, the locking member moves to the second position and locks the document cover to the closed position. | 03-31-2011 |
20110234733 | Multifunctional Peripheral - A multifunctional peripheral includes a main body, an upper unit arranged on the main body, and an opening and closing mechanism connected to the upper unit and the main body. The upper unit moves between a closed position and an open position. The multifunctional peripheral further includes a damping unit including an engaging member configured to move in a predetermined direction and including a spring configured to resiliently urge the engaging member in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. During a sliding of the slider from the first position to the second position, the slider engages the engaging member at an engaging position on the sliding path and moves the engaging member in the predetermined direction as the slider slides toward the second position, and the slider disengages the engaging member at a disengaging position between the engaging position and the second position such that the slider is released from receiving the force of the spring via the engaging member when the slider is in the second position. | 09-29-2011 |
20120001961 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A drive signal generation part of an image display device includes a memory unit which stores data on a first waveform for scanning light out of a sawtooth waveform of a drive signal, and stores data on a second waveform which is a waveform formed by excluding the first waveform from the sawtooth waveform of the drive signal, and the drive signal generation part sequentially reads data on the first waveform from the memory unit at readout timing corresponding to resonance frequency of a high-speed scanning element and generates a portion of a drive signal corresponding to the first waveform, and sequentially reads data on a plurality of second waveforms stored in the memory unit corresponding to the resonance frequency of the high-speed scanning element and generates portions of the drive signal corresponding to the second waveforms corresponding to the resonance frequency of the high-speed scanning element. | 01-05-2012 |
20140009799 | Image Reading Apparatus - An image reading apparatus includes: a housing; a cover pivotable with respect to the housing about a first pivot axis extending in first directions that are opposite each other; a first electric component provided in the housing; a second electric component provided in the cover; and an electric wire configured to connect the first electric component and the second electric component to each other. The electric wire includes: a first extending portion retained by the cover and extending in the first directions; and a second extending portion movable relative to the cover and extending from the first extending portion toward the housing. | 01-09-2014 |
20140104659 | MULTI-FUNCTION APPARATUS - A multi-function apparatus includes a body, an image reading unit, a document cover and a locking member. The image reading unit is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The document cover is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The locking member is movable to a first position and a second position and includes a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion.
