  • Patent number: 11340475
    Abstract: A display device (1A) according to the present invention includes a first light source, a first retro-reflective part disposed at a position in an emission direction of first light emitted from the first light source, and a first light-separating part configured to reflect a part of the first light that has passed through the first retro-reflective part as a first reflected light and transmits at least a part of the first reflected light.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9798154
    Abstract: Polarization state in retro-reflective arrays may be controlled throughout the optical path of a retro-reflective retro-imaging setup to enhance system efficiency. A polarization beam splitter layer and a retarder layer placed in front of the retro-reflector array may be oriented such that polarized light is used as source, source input light is efficiently reflected at the polarization beam splitter layer toward the retro-reflective layer, and polarization is converted to circular upon first pass through retarder layer. The polarization may also be oriented at or near 45° with respect to input polarization state, light may be retro-reflected and reconverged at the retro-reflective layer, and converted to linear polarization state. The light may then be rotated about 90° with respect to input linear state, and/or passed through the polarization beam splitter layer upon second pass to form the reconvergent image.

  • Publication number: 20100212728
    Abstract: To provide an electronic device employing a carbon nanostructure and exhibiting novel characteristics. n-Conduction-type carbon nanowalls 81 were formed on an n-conduction-type silicon substrate 80. Subsequently, p-conduction-type carbon nanowalls 82 were grown so as to cover the surfaces of the n-conduction-type carbon nanowalls 81. Gold was deposited on the end surfaces of the p-conduction-type carbon nanowalls 82 through EB deposition, to thereby form a first electrode 85. Separately, gold was deposited on the bottom surface of the n-conduction-type silicon substrate 80 through EB deposition, to thereby form a second electrode 86. Thus, there was formed a diode having a pn junction between the n-conduction-type carbon nanowalls 81 and the p-conduction-type carbon nanowalls 82.
