A lighting apparatus for a vehicle may include a light output unit; an interface unit; and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to control the light output unit to generate light that illuminates an exterior of the vehicle. The at least one processor may also be configured to receive first information via the interface unit; and control the light output unit to display, via the light that illuminates the exterior of the vehicle, a visual image corresponding to the received first information. The at least one processor may further be configured to receive second information via the interface unit; and control the light output unit based on the received second information to change the visual image displayed by the light that illuminates the exterior of the vehicle.

The present invention provides a rear projection simulator system with a free-form fold mirror. The system includes a high definition projector and a curved screen. The free-form fold mirror is interposed between the projector and the screen. The free-form fold mirror includes one or more non-planar (e.g., curved) portions to eliminate or reduce loss of resolution of the projected image near the edges or boundaries of the image.

A projector for generating a frame of an image is disclosed, comprising an array of elements arranged in a plane, each element comprising at least three LEDs which have different respective colours, and an array of collector structures, each configured to receive light from a single LED at any one time and reduce the angle over which the LED emits light. A projector unit is configured to receive the light from the array of collector structures and collimate the light such that a full colour frame is formed from combining a plurality of subframes formed through a spatial movement of the array of elements with respect to the array of collector structures such that each collector structure receives light from a different LED during each subframe, and/or a displacement of the light emitted from each LED such that the light from each LED illuminates multiple pixels of the frame.

Various embodiments described herein provide multi-projector (i.e., two or more) imaging apparatuses utilizing integrated illumination-aimer optics. Embodiments of the present disclosure minimize irreparable component offset to improve overall accuracy associated with the functioning of the apparatuses. Additionally, the integrated illumination-aimer optics enables embodiments disclosed herein to be provided in a significantly smaller form factor than conventional multi-projector imaging apparatuses. An example apparatus includes a near-field imaging lens and a far-field imaging lens, an integrated illumination-aimer optics positioned between the near-field imaging lens and the far-field imaging lens, a near-field illuminator source and a far-field illuminator source positioned for projecting via the integrated illumination-aimer optics, a near-field imaging sensor associated with the near-field imaging lens, a far-field imaging sensor associated with the far-field imaging lens, and an apparatus chassis to align the various components for operation.

An information processing device according to an embodiment includes a control unit that performs: control of switching a display coordinate system of display content from a first display coordinate system to a second display coordinate system, the display content displayed on a surface of a real object by a display unit, depending on a state of an input operation of changing a position or an angle of the display content; and control of changing a display position or a display angle of the display content in accordance with the second display coordinate system and causing the display unit to display input assist display corresponding to axes of the second display coordinate system in a case where the display coordinate system is switched from the first display coordinate system to the second display coordinate system.

A projection apparatus includes a casing, a projection lens, a first and a second light source modules, a first and a second thermal modules respectively thermally coupled to the first and the second light source modules, and a first and a second fans. The casing includes a bottom cover having a first air inlet corresponding to the projection lens, a front cover, a rear cover having a second air inlet, a first and a second side covers, which define an internal space divided into a first and a second areas. The first air inlet is connected to the internal space. A first air outlet of the first side cover and the second air inlet are connected to the first area. The first and the second light source modules, the first and the second thermal modules, and the first and the second fans are disposed in the first area.

A convertible panel includes a number of sub-panels which are movable between a first position in which the panels extend in the same plane to define a unified panel and a configuration in which one or more of the panels are moved into other planes which allow them to form steps. Multiple of the rotated panels may form a sequence of steps, e.g. a staircase. The convertible panel may be moved via a robotic mount, whereby the position or orientation of the convertible panel may be changed.

A projector includes an outer housing, a single inner housing housed in the outer housing and including a first container and a second container, the second container housing a functional element, and a loudspeaker housed in the first container and including a frame, and the first container has a wall section extending along the frame.

A projection device includes a housing, a spacer plate, and a heat dissipation module. The spacer plate is disposed in the housing to divide the housing into a first space and a second space. The heat dissipation module includes a radiator, a heat dissipation plate, a driving element, and a tube. The radiator is located in the first space, and the heat dissipation plate is located in the second space. The first space has a first air inlet and a first air outlet. A first cooling air flow enters the first space from the first air inlet, flows through the radiator, and is discharged from the first air outlet. The second space has a second air inlet and a second air outlet. A second cooling air flow enters the second space from the second air inlet, and is discharged from the second air outlet.

Disclosed is an integrated projection and illumination device. The integrated projection and illumination device includes a lamp housing, a mounting assembly, an illumination assembly and a projection assembly; and the mounting assembly includes a mounting disc, a mounting ring and clamping blocks, elastic members being arranged between the clamping blocks and the mounting ring, the mounting disc being provided with top surface connectors and an outer limiting edge, the outer limiting edge being capable of being clamped on the clamping blocks protruding out of the inner wall of the mounting ring, the mounting disc being further provided with pressing blocks, and the pressing blocks rotating along with the mounting disc and being capable of making contact with the clamping blocks and pressing the clamping blocks into the mounting ring during rotation. The present disclosure can be used for illumination and projection, and further features convenient dismounting and mounting.
