There is provided an electronic apparatus that enables a line-of-sight detection function at an appropriate timing, thereby achieving power saving, for example. The line-of-sight detection function can be enabled with less power consumption. The electronic apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as a line-of-sight detection unit configured to detect a line-of-sight position based on a line-of-sight of a user, and a control unit configured to perform control so that, in a state where a first content is displayed on a display unit, the line-of-sight detection unit detects the line-of-sight position of the user in response to a second content being displayed on the display unit, wherein the second content is to be displayed together with the first content.

Efficient, dynamic, high contrast lensing with applications to imaging, illumination and projection

A new projector design combines one spatial light modulator that affects only the phase of the illumination, and one spatial light modulator that only affects its amplitude (intensity). The phase-only modulator curves the wavefront of light and acts as a pre-modulator for a conventional amplitude modulator. This approach works with both white light and laser illumination, generating a coarse image representation efficiently, thus enabling, within a single image frame, significantly elevated highlights as well as darker black levels while reducing the overall light source power requirements.

Optical imaging lens

An optical imaging lens may include a first, a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth and a sixth lens elements positioned in an order from an object side to an image side. The optical imaging lens may satisfy AAG/(T3+T6)≥2.500, wherein a sum of five air gaps from the first lens element to the sixth lens element along the optical axis is represented by AAG, a thickness of the third lens element along the optical axis is represented by T3, and a thickness of the sixth lens element along the optical axis is represented by T6.
