  • Patent number: 11945369
    Abstract: A display device installed in a vehicle includes a display, a reflectance control device, and a control circuit. The reflectance control device is capable of changing a reflectance for incident light. The control circuit controls the reflectance of the reflectance control device. The reflectance control device includes a first part and a second part. The first part is positioned in a first region overlapping the display surface when viewed in a normal direction being normal to the display surface. The second part is positioned in a second region surrounding the first region when viewed in the normal direction of the display surface. The control circuit controls a reflectance of the second part based on at least one of speed information indicating a speed of the vehicle and reverse information indicating whether the vehicle is reversing.

  • Publication number: 20230314856
    Abstract: A display device according to the present disclosure includes an optical member, a first electro-optical member, a housing, and an adhesive layer. The optical member has translucency and has a back surface including a first region and a second region outside the first region. The first electro-optical member is disposed on a back surface side of the optical member, has an optical characteristic changed with voltage application, and has a back surface including a third region and a fourth region outside the third region. The housing is disposed on the back surface side of the optical member and outside the first electro-optical member, and has a protruding portion extending along the back surface of the first electro-optical member. The adhesive layer is disposed between the third region and the protruding portion.

  • Patent number: 9263081
    Abstract: An optical pickup device is one in which a lens holder is held by a movable base by using a resilient wire. A restricting abutting portion is formed at a lower portion of the lens holder. When the lens holder moves excessively downward, the restricting abutting portion comes into contact with a stopper portion to restrict a downward movement of the lens holder, so that it is possible to prevent the lens holder from contacting a unit chassis. When the unit chassis is not mounted on the movable base, it is possible to prevent excessive flexing of the resilient wire caused when an opposing abutting portion of the lens holder comes into contact with the unit chassis.
