Patent number: 11112080Abstract: An illumination device includes a light diffusion device including element diffusion devices that diffuse incident light, a coherent light source that emits coherent light, a shaping optical system that shapes the coherent light, a scanner that adjusts a traveling direction of the coherent light so as to allow the coherent light to scan the light diffusion device, and a light condensing optical system located on a light path of the coherent light from the shaping optical system up to the light diffusion device. The light condensing optical system condenses the coherent light such that a spot area on the light diffusion device is smaller than the element diffusion device. Each element diffusion device diffuses the coherent light incident thereon so as to illuminate an element illumination area corresponding to the element diffusion device.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Makio Kurashige

Patent number: 11105661Abstract: A light emitting pointer device which can reduce luminance unevenness at a light emitting face is provided. An annular rib is provided between a first holding portion holding an emission shaft and a second holding portion holding a light entrance shaft and the annular rib thereby covers a corner of the light entrance shaft. As a result, the light is not likely to enter a pointer body from the corner of the light entrance shaft, thereby reducing stray light and reducing luminance unevenness. An upper face of the annular rib on the light entrance shaft side has a radius of curvature that is greater than a radius of curvature of the corner of the light entrance shaft and is tapered, thus the corner can be easily covered with a space between the light entrance shaft and the annular rib.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Yasufumi Mochizuki, Terukazu Kuboyama, Ami Shibahara, Takuya Ishizawa
