Abstract:
A light source device generates irradiation light that is irradiated onto a predetermined face, the light source device including: a laser light source that emits laser light; a diffractive optical element that diffracts the laser light; a diffusion optical element that has an incidence face into which the laser light is incident and a light emission face from which the laser light from the incidence face is emitted, and that diffuses the laser light; and unit structures that are two-dimensionally arrayed on at least one of the incidence face and the light emission face of the diffusion optical element, and that cause the light which is perpendicularly incident into the diffusion optical element to refract at one time, and then emit this light toward the predetermined face.

Abstract:
A light conducting unit is disposed between a light source and a region which is to be illuminated. In addition, a light conducting unit includes a polygonal prism made from a first medium with a first coefficient of refraction, a first light conducting unit which directs light to be incident upon a first surface of the polygonal prism, and a second light conducting unit upon which light emitted from a second surface of the polygonal prism is incident, wherein the polygonal prism includes a reflective device which reflects light which is incident into the polygonal prism from the first surface towards the second surface, and a second medium with a second coefficient of refraction which is less than the first coefficient of refraction is provided at the first surface and the second surface.
Abstract:
A hologram element that forms a predetermined illumination pattern on an irradiated surface by diffracting incident light is disclosed. The illumination pattern is formed by making light in a first wavelength region diffracted in a first region, and the illumination pattern is formed by making light in a second wavelength region different from the first wavelength region diffracted in a second region on the same plane as the first region.
Abstract:
A projector includes a laser beam source that outputs a laser beam and modulates the laser beam in a beam form based on an image signal, a scanning unit that scans the laser beam output by the laser beam source at least in one-dimensional direction, a scan driving unit that drive controls the scanning unit by a first force, a retaining unit that stops and retains the scanning unit at a predetermined position by a second force, and a light shielding unit that shields the laser beam from the scanning unit that is retained by the retaining unit. The scan driving unit releases the scanning unit retained by the retaining unit, and drives it when the first force is larger than the second force. The retaining unit stops and retains the scanning unit at the predetermined position when the second force is larger than the first force.

A projector includes: an image forming unit that forms an image using light emitted from a solid-state light source; a diffusion unit which is provided at focal positions of light components of the image formed by the image forming unit and diffuses the light; and a projection optical system that projects the light emitted from the diffusion unit.
Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a light source unit that can supply bright light efficiently. The light source unit includes a light emitting unit that emits light, a phase plate that polarizes the light from the light emitting unit to produce a first polarized light and a second polarized light that is polarized in a different direction with respect to the first polarized light, a reflecting-type polarizing plate that transmits the first polarized light and reflects the second polarized light; and a reflector that is provided near both the light emitting unit and the phase plate, and reflects back a third light, which is a portion of the first polarized light and that passes through the phase plate, to the phase plate.
Abstract:
An image display device having a plurality of selfluminous pixels, for displaying an image by selectively making the pixels luminous is disclosed. The image display device includes: the pixels each divided into a plurality of small light-emitting sections; an ejection-direction selecting section that deflects the light emitted from the small light-emitting sections at predetermined angles according to the position of the small light-emitting sections in the pixel; and controller that selectively makes only small light-emitting sections that emit light that can reach the viewer luminous on the basis of viewer-position information indicative of the position of the viewer.
Abstract:
A display device using a tilt-mirror device and a projector. The image display device may include a first color-ray light-source for supplying a G-ray, a second color-ray light-source for supplying a R-ray or B-ray, and a tilt-mirror device having a plurality of movable mirror elements that may be switched between a first reflection position and a second reflection position. The first color-ray light-source may be arranged so that the G-ray is reflected in a predetermined direction when the movable mirror elements are located in the first reflection position, and the second color-ray light-source can be arranged so that the R-ray or B-ray is reflected in a predetermined direction when the movable mirror elements are located in the second reflection position. The color-ray light-sources may be conjugated with an entrance pupil of the projection lens of the projector.
