Abstract: An image display apparatus which divides the 1-frame period of input image data into a plurality of periods and displays image data in the respective divided periods separates high frequency component data by using the input image data, and distributes the amplitude of the high frequency component data for the image data in the respective divided periods to make the amplitude of the separated high frequency component data fall within a difference between the gradation of the input image data, and 0 gradation or the maximum gradation of an image.

Abstract: A multiscreen display is formed in which changes in luminance between an image overlap area and areas outside the image overlap area are less visible across a range of low to high gradations. An offset correction value Doffset that is linearly decreased at the lowest gradation of the input image signal so that the offset correction value becomes 0 at gradations higher than the predetermined gradation Lset, is added to an input image signal.

Abstract: An intermediate transfer device includes an intermediate transfer member, intermediate transfer member support members, and two frame members each including first and second positioning members each having a positioning portion. At least one of the frame members satisfies a condition L1:L2=2.85:x 0?x?1, where L1 is the length of a line segment connecting an intersection point to the positioning portion of one of the positioning members on a side opposite to a side toward which a line of action of a force applied by a second-transfer unit is inclined and L2 is the length of a line segment connecting the intersection point to the positioning portion of the other of the positioning members on the side toward which the line of action is inclined, the intersection point being an intersection of the line of action and a line segment connecting the positioning portions.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus corrects a luminance level of an overlap region of projection screens projected by a plurality of image display apparatuses. The image processing apparatus includes: a coordinate conversion unit configured to convert a coordinate value of the overlap region into a coordinate value of an overlap region of not less than a maximum overlap region width; an interpolation calculation unit configured to select two luminance correction data using the converted coordinate value, and to calculate a luminance correction coefficient by interpolating the luminance correction data using the selected luminance correction data and the converted coordinate value; and a correction unit configured to correct the luminance level of the overlap region using the luminance correction coefficient.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image to be formed on a recording medium. The image formed by the image forming unit has a size larger than a size of the recording medium that is transported, the image forming unit causing the image to adhere to the entire area of the recording medium. A width of the image in a direction substantially orthogonal to a transporting direction of the recording medium increases from a front end toward a rear end of the recording medium in the transporting direction of the recording medium.

Abstract: A drive includes a driving shaft that includes a distal end portion having a screw hole at a distal end and being inserted into a hollow portion from a first end of a driving roller in a rotation-axis direction, and that transmits a rotational driving force to the driving roller through a fit portion; a spring washer arranged at a second end of the driving roller opposite to the first end in the rotation-axis direction; and a screw rod that has an external thread which is screwed into the screw hole, that is inserted into the spring washer and inserted into the hollow portion from the second end, and that pinches the driving roller between the screw rod and the fit portion of the driving shaft in the rotation-axis direction through the spring washer when the external thread is screwed into the screw hole.

Abstract: A transport device includes an endless belt having a recording-medium transport surface provided with multiple holes; stretching members between which the endless belt is stretched so as to be able to revolve; and a suction unit provided inside the endless belt. The suction unit has an opening having a larger width than the endless belt. The opening is exposed at both sides of the endless belt in the width direction. The suction unit draws air through the opening to cause the recording medium to stick to the endless belt.
