  • Patent number: 11922856
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, there is provided a light transmissive display device including a conductor to which a voltage for changing transmittance of the dimming element and a voltage outputting an electromagnetic wave for communication are applied in a time division manner, and a light transmitting member that is provided with a conductor and transmits light passing through the dimming element. This configuration makes it possible to suppress a space occupied by the dimming element and the antenna in a configuration including the dimming element and the antenna.

  • Publication number: 20210311312
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes an optical see-through display apparatus, and includes a light source (21) that emits light; a combiner (10) including a diffraction member that diffracts light incident from the light source (21) and outputs the light; and a controller (30) that controls light emission of the light source (21). The controller (30) controls a light output of the light source (21) on the basis of a wavelength of light outputted from the light source (21) and diffraction efficiency of the combiner (10) that is changed resulting from change in a wavelength of incident light.
