Abstract: An image display system comprises red, green and blue laser light sources, a spatial light modulator that modulates the laser light of different colors in a time sharing manner and a controller that controls the operation of the laser light sources and the spatial light modulator. The green and red laser light sources are lit in this order in each frame. The green color is diminished due to the response delay of the spatial light modulator, but the green laser light produced by the green laser light source has a relatively large color phase shift from the standard green color so that the shortage of green color cancels the color phase shift of the generated green color so that the color phase shift of the displayed intermediate color can be minimized.

Abstract: An image display system comprises red, green and blue laser light source units (22 to 24), a spatial light modulator (25) that modulates the laser lights of different colors in a time sharing manner and a control unit (13) for controlling the operation of the laser light source units and the spatial light modulator. The green and red laser light source units are lighted in that order in each frame. The green color is diminished owing to the response delay of the spatial light modulator, but the green laser light produced by the green laser light source unit (23) has a relatively large color phase shift from the standard green color so that the shortage of green color cancels out with the color phase shift of the generated green color so that the color phase shift of the displayed intermediate color can be minimized.

Abstract: A light source apparatus includes a light source unit in which a light source and a light source supporting member having elasticity in an optical axis direction are coupled together, and a collimating lens base member on which a collimating lens is supported. An optical axis direction adjusting member is positioned between the light source unit and the collimating lens base member. A position of the light source unit can be adjusted within a plane approximately perpendicular to the optical axis, and the light source unit can thereafter be secured relative to the collimating lens base member via the light source supporting member. The optical axis direction adjusting member is movable in the optical axis direction, and is disposed such that by its movement it causes the light source supporting member to deform against the elasticity of the light source supporting member, thereby allowing an adjustment of a position of the light source with respect to the collimating lens in the optical axis direction.

Abstract: The present invention holds the source document feeding direction downstream edge of a printed sheet ejected above a source document feed tray by means of a top ejection platform functioning as a printed sheet holding section in an area apart from source document feed rollers functioning as a source document feeding section. As a result, a printed sheet ejected onto top ejection platform is not fed automatically by source document feed rollers. Therefore, a printed sheet that has undergone image formation can be ejected without obstruction above source document feed tray of an automatic document feeder, checking and removal of a printed sheet are facilitated, and convenience is improved.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that enables a document ejected after image information reading is finished, and a printed sheet on which an image has been formed based on this image information, to be removed easily while the distinction between the two is clearly maintained. According to an image forming apparatus (100) of the present invention, a sheet document S whose image information has been read is ejected onto a document ejection tray (145), and a sheet Ps on which image information has been recorded is ejected onto a sheet ejection tray (151), so as to be crosswise to each other. By this means, even though sheet document S and printed sheet Ps are removed in a mutually overlapping state, sheet document S and printed sheet Ps can be distinguished from each other since their directions of ejection are crosswise to each other.

An elastic layer is applied onto the external surface of the release layer and is baked. A supporting layer containing heat-resistant synthetic resin is applied onto the external surface of the elastic layer, and is dried. The dried supporting layer is polished to remove the unevenness, and the supporting layer is baked. The release layer, the elastic layer and the supporting layer are turned inside out to be removed from the die surface. The evenness of the fixing belt is improved, and the pressure unevenness is reduced.
