An optical subsystem of a near-eye display system provides for projecting light of a virtual image of image content to an eye location, and provides for collecting light of the virtual image onto an exit pupil on a surface proximate to an outer surface of an eye when at the eye location. A subpupil modulator within an aperture in cooperation with the optical subsystem provides for forming a plurality of subpupils within the exit pupil, and provides for less than all of the light of the virtual image associated with one or more less than all of the plurality of subpupils to be projected to the eye location. In various independent aspects: at least two subpupils overlap by at least 20 percent; and the intensities of the subpupils are individually and independently controlled.

An image display apparatus includes: a light source unit including three or more light sources, combining lights from the light sources and emitting the combined light; a wavelength detector that detects, for each light source, wavelength information indicating the wavelength of light from the light source; a color value determiner that determines, for each light source, from the wavelength information, a color value indicating a color of light from the light source in a predetermined color space; a correction value determiner that determines, based on the color values, a correction value for correcting a ratio between the intensities of lights from the light sources so that the color of the combined light is a color to be displayed; and a driver that drives the light sources so that the ratio between the intensities of lights from the light sources is a ratio corrected based on the correction value.

An autonomous pixel comprises a display element, a plurality of different sensors and a control element. The sensors are arranged to detect one or more external stimuli and the control element is arranged to generate, entirely within the autonomous pixel, a control signal to drive the display element based, at least in part, on a magnitude of an external stimulus detected by one or more of the different sensors.

A display comprises a plurality of autonomous pixels on a substrate. Each autonomous pixel comprises a display element, a sensing element and a control element. The sensing element is arranged to detect an external stimulus and the control element is arranged to generate, entirely within the autonomous pixel, a control signal to drive the display element based, at least in part, on a magnitude of the external stimulus detected by the sensing element. Additionally, the control element comprises one or more groups of transistors, each group comprising two or more transistors arranged to perform the same function and connected in parallel with each other.

An image rendering apparatus includes a light source unit, an optical scanner, a scanner control unit configured to control a frequency for the optical scanner to scan the laser light in the main scanning direction, and a light source driving unit. The scanner control unit multiplies the frequency by n and the light source driving unit changes time intervals at which pixels are rendered on scanning lines in the main scanning direction to 1/nth and controls the light source unit in such a way that the light source unit renders a plurality of pixels corresponding to one scanning line at least once during n scans in the main scanning direction and in such a way that the light source unit will not render pixels on scanning line(s) other than the scanning lines on which the pixels have been rendered.

A system for assisting sharing of information includes circuitry to: input a plurality of sentences each representing a statement made by one of a plurality of users, the sentence being generated by speaking or writing during a meeting or by extracting from at least one of meeting data, email data, electronic file data, and chat data at any time; determine a statement type of the statement represented by each one of the plurality of sentences, the statement type being one of a plurality of statement types previously determined; select, from among the plurality of sentences being input, one or more sentences each representing a statement of a specific statement type of the plurality of types; and output a list of the selected one or more sentences as key statements of the plurality of sentences.

Provided is a field sequential image display device with which the service life of DMD display elements can be lengthened. In the present invention, each frame is equipped with: a display period, wherein a display control portion normally drives multiple mirrors and a lighting control portion drives a first lighting portion and a second lighting portion, thereby displaying a display image in display elements; and a non-display period, wherein the display control portion drives the multiple mirrors for a non-display period and the lighting control portion turns off the first lighting portion and the second lighting portion, and thus the display image is not displayed in the display elements. On the basis of prescribed luminance control conditions, when the luminance of the display image is to be lower than a predetermined threshold luminance value, a control unit lowers the display period ratio, which is the ratio of the display period in each frame period.
