DISPLAY UNIT AND PROJECTION DEVICE
The disclosure provides a display unit and a projection device. The display unit includes a first display panel having first light emitting elements configured to provide a first color light, a wavelength conversion element located on a transmission path of the first color light and having a conversion region and a non-conversion region, a second display panel having second light emitting elements configured to provide a second color light, and a light combining element. A quantum dot conversion material is disposed on the conversion region. Part of the first color light is converted into a third color light after passing through the conversion region, and another part of the first color light passes through the non-conversion region. The light combining element is located on transmission paths of the first color light, the second color light and the third color light and is configured to form an image beam.
Light-emitting device, optical apparatus, optical measurement apparatus, and image forming apparatus
A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting unit. The light-emitting unit includes an array of multiple light-emitting element groups, each including multiple light-emitting elements. In the light-emitting unit, the multiple light-emitting element groups are sequentially driven along the array such that, for each of the multiple light-emitting element groups, the multiple light-emitting elements included in the light-emitting element group are concurrently set to a state of emitting light or a state of not emitting light.
LASER LOCAL DIMMING FOR PROJECTORS AND OTHER LIGHTING DEVICES INCLUDING CINEMA, ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS, AND DISPLAYS
Light from an array of laser light sources are spread to cover the modulating face of a DMD or other modulator. The spread may be performed, for example, by a varying curvature array of lenslets, each laser light directed at one of the lenslets. Light from neighboring and/or nearby light sources overlap at a modulator. The lasers are energized at different energy/brightness levels causing the light illuminating the modulator to itself be modulated (locally dimmed). The modulator then further modulates the locally dimmed lights to produce a desired image. A projector according to the invention may utilize, for example, a single modulator sequentially illuminated or separate primary color modulators simultaneously illuminated.
VIRTUAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE
A virtual image display device displays a virtual image by projecting a display light of an image toward a projection unit, and includes: a display unit configured to emit the display light; and a diffraction reflection element configured to reflect the display light emitted from the display unit by diffraction. The diffraction reflection element has a plate shape along a horizontal plane. The diffraction reflection element is configured to emit the display light toward the projection unit arranged above the diffraction reflection element when the display light is incident, and is set such that an angle of incidence on the diffraction reflection element is larger than an angle of emission from the diffraction reflection element.
LIGHT SOURCE SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, DISPLAY DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Disclosed are a light source system and control method thereof, as well as a display device and control method thereof. The light source system comprises: an array light source, comprising M illuminants with independently adjustable brightness; an optical switch, arranged on an emergent optical path of the army light source, for guiding illumination light emitted by the M illuminants to N sub-regions of a preset light region; and a control device for controlling an optical switch to adjust at a preset frame rate the direction of the illumination light emitted by at least part of the M illuminants, and guiding the illumination light emitted by at least part of the illuminants to sub-regions different from the previous one or more image frames of the current image frame.
LASER DEVICE, PROJECTION TYPE IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND SENSING DEVICE
Provided is a laser device, comprising a laser light source, a collimating lens that collimates the light output from the laser light source, and a diffuser plate that diffuses the light from the laser light source before collimating the light.
LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE AND PROJECTION DISPLAY APPARATUS
A light source device includes: a first light emitting device including a plurality of first solid-state light emitting elements arranged at a regular interval in a two dimensional array form; a second light emitting device including a plurality of second solid-state light emitting elements arranged at a regular interval in a two dimensional array form; and a first light combining plate including a first region and a second region, the first region transmitting first light beams emitted from the plurality of first solid-state light emitting elements of the first light emitting device, the second region reflecting second light beams emitted from the plurality of second solid-state light emitting elements of the second light emitting device. Beam arrangement of (i) the first light beams transmitted through the first light combining plate and (ii) the second light beams reflected by the first light combining plate form a closest packed array.
Laser local dimming for projectors and other lighting devices including cinema, entertainment systems, and displays
Light from an array of laser light sources are spread to cover the modulating face of a DMD or other modulator. The spread may be performed, for example, by a varying curvature array of lenslets, each laser light directed at one of the lenslets. Light from neighboring and/or nearby light sources overlap at a modulator. The lasers are energized at different energy/brightness levels causing the light illuminating the modulator to itself be modulated (locally dimmed). The modulator then further modulates the locally dimmed lights to produce a desired image. A projector according to the invention may utilize, for example, a single modulator sequentially illuminated or separate primary color modulators simultaneously illuminated.
Method for controlling a display device
A display device has a light emitting module and a modulating module. The modulating module is disposed on the light emitting module. The display device is switched to change a transmitting direction of light emitted from the light emitting module by adjusting the modulating module according to a switch signal.
