VOLUMETRIC DISPLAY
A volumetric display capable of high-speed image presentation includes a resonance-type liquid lens having a focal length that is periodically adjusted using resonance of a liquid. An image projector projects an image toward a viewpoint position of a user via the resonance-type liquid lens. Further, the image projector projects an image toward the viewpoint position within a shorter time period than one-tenth of a variation cycle of the focal length. The image projector includes an LED and a DMD, for example.
OPTICAL ENGINE MODULE AND PROJECTION DEVICE
An optical engine module and a projection device are provided. The optical engine module includes a first prism, a light valve, a second prism, and a light-shielding element. The first prism is disposed on a transmission path of an illumination light beam. The light valve is disposed on the transmission path of the illumination light beam from the first prism. The light valve has a reflection surface suitable for converting the illumination light beam into an image beam. The second prism is located between the first prism and the light valve, and is disposed on the transmission path of the illumination light beam from the first prism and on a transmission path of the image beam from the light valve. The light-shielding element is located between the first prism and the second prism.
ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes: a memory storing a first pattern image and a second pattern image, a communication interface comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with an external terminal apparatus, a projection part including a projection lens, and a processor configured to: control the projection part to project the first pattern image on a screen member comprising a reflector located on a projection surface, and based on receiving a first photographed image which photographed the screen member from the external terminal apparatus through the communication interface, acquire transformation information based on the first photographed image and the first pattern image, control the projection part to project the second pattern image on the projection surface, and based on receiving a second photographed image which photographed the projection surface from the external terminal apparatus through the communication interface, perform color calibration based on the characteristic of the projection surface based on the second photographed image, the second pattern image, and the transformation information.
Eyewear waveguide with reflector
Eyewear including a frame, a projector supported by the frame, and a lens supported by the frame. The lens has a first surface facing an eye of the user and a second surface facing away from the eye of the user when the frame is worn. The lens also includes a waveguide defined by the first and second surfaces to receive light from the projector. An input light coupler and an output light coupler are on the first surface of the lens and at least one reflector is positioned on a second surface of the lens to redirect light received from the input coupler and/or the output coupler to redirect light having an angle of incidence with respect to the second surface of the lens that would result in that portion of the light exiting the waveguide through the second surface in the absence of the at least one reflector.
Image display device
An image display device includes a display unit which displays a first image and a second image, and a projection optical system which directs light of the first image and light of the second image toward a windshield. The display unit displays the first image and the second image in different display areas on the same plane. The projection optical system sets an image point of the light of the first image and an image point of the light of the second image, so that a first virtual image and a second virtual image are formed at positions having different distances from a viewing point within a visible area.
Head-up display
The disclosure provides in one aspect a head-up display for a vehicle. The head-up display comprises a picture generating unit, an optical system and a light-selective filter. The picture generating unit is arranged to display a picture on a screen. The optical system is arranged to receive light of the picture. The optical system comprises at least one optical element having optical power arranged to form a magnified image of the picture. The light-selective filter is transmissive to light of the picture and reflective to other light. The light-selective filter is disposed between the optical system and the screen. The light-selective filter has a first surface arranged to receive light from the optical system and a second surface arranged to receive light of the picture from the screen.

PROJECTION LENS AND PROJECTION APPARATUS
A projection lens includes a first lens group, an aperture stop, a second lens group, a reflective optical element, and a refractive optical element arranged in sequence on a transmission path of an image beam. The first lens group, the aperture stop and the second lens group are sequentially arranged from a minified side to a magnified side along an optical axis. The reflective optical element and the refractive optical element are located on opposite sides of the optical axis. The image beam sequentially passes through the first lens group, the aperture stop and the second lens group from the minified side to be transmitted to the reflective optical element. The image beam is reflected by the reflective optical element to the refractive optical element, and passes through the refractive optical element to form a projection beam toward the magnified side.
Projection lens
There is provided a projection lens that is mounted on a housing of a projection device including an electro-optical element. The projection lens includes a first holding frame through which light emitted from the housing passes, a second reflective part that refracts an optical axis of light emitted from the first holding frame and includes a pair of side surfaces facing each other, and a second holding frame that holds the second reflective part and includes a pair of first holes provided at positions corresponding to the pair of side surfaces; and each of the pair of side surfaces has a gap between itself and the second holding frame.
