  • Patent number: 10209608
    Abstract: A liquid crystal projector apparatus includes: a plurality of display elements configured to individually modulate light of color components different from one another; and a controller configured to control the individual temperatures of the plurality of display elements. When the temperature of the display element in which a temperature rise rate is slowest among the plurality of display elements does not reach a predetermined temperature, the controller controls so that the temperatures of other display elements stay within a predetermined range that takes as a reference the temperature of the display element in which the temperature rise rate is slowest.

  • Patent number: 6527173
    Abstract: The CGH (computer generated hologram) readout section (4) reproduces an image of the CGH (28), which is formed in the data storage area (52) of the crude card (26). The CGH certifying section (5) judges whether the card is genuine or fake and obtains an ID (identification) information. In a case that the card is genuine, the ID information is supplied to the data processing section (6). The data processing section (6) inputs a personal information of a person to be a cardholder and also inputs a face picture of the person. These data are registered in the database (2) in response to the ID information. A part of or all of the personal information is outputted to the IC reader/writer (8) and written into the IC module (53). Further, a part of the personal information and the face picture are outputted to the color printer (7) as a printing information and printed on the surface of the crude card (26).

  • Patent number: 5570961
    Abstract: A color printer comprises a recording sheet tray 3 capable of storing numerous recording sheets 2, a sheet feed/discharge roller 293 feeding an uppermost recording sheet 2 from the recording sheet tray 3 to a platen roller 7, and a clamp mechanism section 13 clamping a front end of a recording sheet 2 loaded on the platen roller 7 at a predetermined fixed position. A driving device rotates the platen roller 7 to reciprocate the loaded recording sheet 2 in forward and backward directions every time when each of plurality of color images, such as yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C), is printed on the loaded recording sheet 2. A sheet transportation path is defined between the sheet feed/discharge roller 293 and the clamp mechanism section 13 for transporting the loaded recording sheet 2 forward and backward. This sheet transportation path is shorter in length than the recording sheets 2.

  • Patent number: 5502477
    Abstract: A color printer for recording an image having at least two colors on a recording sheet with a recording head being brought into contact with a platen roller in a state that the recording sheet is interposed therebetween, the two colors being successively printed on a surface of the recording sheet with the recording sheet being operated to reciprocate with respect to a recording position on the platen roller. The printer includes a clamping device provided at a downstream side of the recording head in a sheet-travelling path from a supply section of the recording sheet to a discharging section of the recording sheet for holding the recording sheet when recording the image. The clamping device is fixed with respect to the recording position so that a distance between a holding position of the recording sheet taken by the clamping device and the recording position on the platen roller is always constant during the image recording.
