Abstract: A rear frame is formed of a laminate that includes a plurality of carbon fiber layers laminated one on top of another and hardened and integrated with each other by a plastic. A different color layer having a color different from a color of the carbon fiber layers is disposed between the carbon fiber layers in the laminate. When a carbon fiber layer on the outside is lost by a piece of flying gravel and a lost portion reaches the different color layer, a surface of the different color layer is exposed from the lost portion. An exposed portion having the different color can be easily recognized from the outside. The appearance of the exposed portion allows arrival of a replacement time of the rear frame to be recognized. As a result, it is possible to enable easy visual recognition of an optimum replacement timing.

Abstract: Provided is a compound optical system that can obtain high-resolution images by solving the problem of aberration in a field-of-view separation-type optical system, and that enables a super thin image pickup device to be achieved. Also provided is an image pickup device using the compound optical system. With respect to the image pickup range of a central individual-eye lens, by narrowing the image pickup range of a peripheral individual-eye lens, the field curvature amount at the image pickup region can be reduced, and therefore, the eccentricity amount of the lens surface (or the lens group) can be reduced. As a result, an individual-eye lens with little defocus and good image forming characteristics can be obtained, and a compound optical system with favorable image forming characteristics can be configured.

Abstract: Provided is a laser projection apparatus which forms each one frame by performing two-dimensional scanning with laser light and projects images on a screen (201) with blanking periods inserted between frames, the laser light having been outputted from a laser light source (110). The laser projection apparatus is provided with a chive controlling device (132) which, in each of the blanking periods, changes the polarization state of the laser light having been outputted from the laser light source. This configuration enables speckle reduction by having the polarization state changed from one frame to another, and also enables favorable image projection since there is no change in luminance within each one of the frames. Thus, it is made possible to obtain image quality more favorable than that obtained conventionally.

Abstract: An object is to provide a image projection device which has a small size but can project an image having a high image quality. To achieve the object, in an image projection device, a reflection part which reflects a light flux from a light source is, while being rotated around a first axis by non-resonance driving, rotated by resonance driving around a second axis which is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and thereby the light flux is deflected in a two-dimensional direction. By controlling the rotation of the reflection part, a correction for suppressing an image distortion along one scanning direction on a projection surface, and a correction for keeping substantially constant a scanning speed of the light flux along the other scanning direction on the projection surface, are performed.

Abstract: A laser projector comprises an oscillation device for displacing at least one of a plurality of optical elements, which constitute the projection optical system of the laser projector, periodically along the direction of the optical axis of laser light. The laser projector reduces the speckle of a projection image on an arbitrary screen to such an extent as it cannot be recognized with human eyes, without having a significant effect on the image resolution, by periodically displacing the position of the smallest spot of laser light projected from the projection optical system. An image projection method is also provided.
