Patent number: 8684531Abstract: An image signal storing unit stores an image signal provided from the outside. An image processing unit appropriately processes the image signal stored in the image signal storing unit in accordance with the instruction from an adjusting unit. A projecting unit projects, onto a display area, light corresponding to an image created by the image processing unit. A display size determination unit computes the display size of the picture plane displayed on a screen based on an image captured by the camera provided adjacent to the projection-type video-image display device. The display size determination unit then determines whether or not the display size of the picture plane is equal to or larger than a predetermined upper-limit size.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Vision3D Technologies, LLCInventors: Ken Mashitani, Masutaka Inoue, Hideyuki Kanayama, Takashi Ikeda, Takahisa Ando, Kazuhiro Arai, Ryuhei Amano

Patent number: 7993011Abstract: A projection lens unit and a projection mirror unit are moved relative to an illumination optical system, between a first position where an image is projected in a shape that is longer along a direction of projection onto a projection plane and a second position where an image is projected in a shape that is longer along a direction perpendicular to the direction of projection onto the projection plane. When the projection lens unit and the projection mirror unit are located in the first position, a vertically long image is projected onto the projection plane (portrait display).

Patent number: 7692604Abstract: Modulated light (image light) which has been modulated by passing through a liquid crystal display panel passes through an apical angle variable prism (so-called, a vari-angle prism) and then is enlarged and projected by a projection lens. The apical angle variable prism is configured to change the prism apical angle with, for example, an electromagnetic actuator. The microcomputer calculates a projection optical axis correction value based on hand shake detection signals from a sensor and controls the aforementioned actuator based on the correction value. With this control, shakes of projected images due to hand shakes are prevented.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Yokote, Shouichi Yoshii, Hideyuki Kanayama, Takashi Ikeda

Patent number: 7524084Abstract: Three light sources are provided as a light source. A first light source emits a light in red, a second light source emits a light in green, and a third light source emits a light in blue. Each light source is a light source in which a plurality of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are arranged in the same plane surface. The first light source, the second light source, and the third light source are arranged on the same plane surface. Furthermore, lines connecting the first light source, the second light source, and the third light source form a triangle. Light fluxes (primary optical axes) of each light source are parallel with each other. The first light source, the second light source, and the third light source are arranged on one piece of a cooling plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Ikeda, Hideyuki Kanayama

Patent number: 7503660Abstract: A reflection mixing member (13) has an alignment in which light from a first light source is incident on a reflecting surface (13a) and light from a second light source is incident on a reflecting surface (13b). A relationship between a pitch Wp, which is a pitch between portions (triangular prisms) respectively formed of the reflecting surface (13a) and the reflecting surface (13b) in the reflection mixing member (13), and a lens pitch Wf is set to be (Wp/Wf?1). As a result, light fluxes of respectively different distribution are incident on each lens portion of fly's eye lens 14a, so that it is possible to prevent luminance non-uniformity in light incident on a liquid crystal display panel (5) from being generated and prevent color non-uniformity from being generated on a screen at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2004Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Ikeda, Yoshitaka Kurosaka, Hideyuki Kanayama, Koji Ishii
