  • Publication number: 20040061839
    Abstract: A projection system including light emitting units, a scrolling unit, and a light valve. The light emitting units emitting light beams of different wavelengths. The scrolling unit has spirally arranged cylinder lens cells which separate the light beams into color beams and scroll the color beams when the scrolling unit is rotated. The light valve receives, at different positions, the color beams transmitted by the scrolling unit and forms a color image by turning pixels on or off according to an input image signal.

  • Publication number: 20040057018
    Abstract: A single-panel color image display apparatus realizing a wide color gamut includes a light source, a colored light separator, and a light valve. The colored light separator has four or more dichroic filters of reflective type which separate a light emitted from the light source according to a wavelength. The light valve controls the light that is emitted from the light source and separated by the colored light separator according to color, on a pixel-by-pixel basis according to an input image signal, and forms a color image. By performing color scrolling using a scrolling unit having a spiral array of lens cells, the same resolution as that obtained when using a color wheel can be realized and the same light efficiency as that obtained when using a three-panel color image display apparatus can be realized.

  • Publication number: 20040041784
    Abstract: A high-resolution display displaying an image on a screen includes an illumination optical system, an image optical system, a pixel moving optical system, and a projection optical system. The illumination optical system includes a light source emitting a light. The image optical system includes an image forming device modulating an incident light to form the image. The pixel moving optical system includes a prism array deflecting the light from the image optical system to move pixels of the image to increase a number of pixels. The projection optical system includes a projection lens projecting the deflected light by the pixel moving optical system onto the screen.

  • Publication number: 20040021944
    Abstract: A spiral lens disk and a projection system adopting the same are provided. The spiral lens disk has spirally arranged cylinder lens cells and scrolls incident light by converting the rotation of the cylinder lens cells into rectilinear motion of a cylinder lens array. The projection system includes at least one spiral lens disk such that color scrolling is achieved using a single component to form a color image. Due to a reduction in the number of components, a light, low-price projection system can be obtained, and a single-panel projection system with high light efficiency can also be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20030231144
    Abstract: A multi-display apparatus includes flat panel display devices and an optical path changing unit. The flat panel display devices include adjacent sides connected to each other. The optical path changing unit has an inclined surface symmetrical to a boundary surface of the flat panel display devices and shifting light emitted from the flat panel display devices toward a boundary surface between the flat panel display devices to display an image without a non-display area.

  • Publication number: 20030127698
    Abstract: A cantilever having a step-up structure and a method of manufacturing the same. The cantilever includes a substrate, an anchor formed on the substrate, and a moving plate connected to the anchor while maintaining a predetermined gap from the substrate. The anchor includes a first anchor of a predetermined shape and a second anchor perpendicular to an edge of the first anchor while being formed along a longitudinal axis of the moving plate. Accordingly, a deformation of the cantilever caused by the high temperature and pressure in a manufacturing process thereof is considerably reduced. As a result, the yield rate of the cantilever is improved, and the reliability of a product using the cantilever is also improved.

  • Publication number: 20030051357
    Abstract: An apparatus for finely adjusting an orientation of an optical device. The apparatus includes a base plate which supports an optical device, a bracket coupled to the base plate such that the base plate is rotatable with respect to the bracket, a spring disposed between the base plate and the bracket to apply an elastic force to the base plate, and an adjusting element which pushes the base plate against the bracket through the base plate to adjust a relative position of the optical device with respect to the bracket. The apparatus can finely and precisely adjust the orientation of the optical device.
