  • Publication number: 20220355665
    Abstract: A display control device that includes: a processor; and a memory that is coupled with the processor and is configured to store a correspondence relationship between an angle of a mirror configured to reflect light for display on a display and depth information indicating a virtual display position of an image for display on the display so as to correspond to an external scene, the processor being configured to: receive input from a user, and change the mirror angle in response to the received input, adjust a display position of an image to be displayed on the display based on the depth information associated with the mirror angle after it is changed, and display the image on the display.

  • Patent number: 11134842
    Abstract: An observation system includes an observation optical system, an imaging device, an observation focus adjustment unit, a detector, and a processor. The observation optical system guides an observation luminous flux from a biological object being an observation target. The imaging device captures an observation image of the biological object, by receiving the observation luminous flux guided by the observation optical system. The observation focus adjustment unit adjusts a focus of the observation optical system. The detector detects at least one of a direction of a line of sight of the user, voice generated by the user, or a gesture of the user. The processor causes the observation image to be displayed on a display, and adjusts a focus of a target region concentrated on by the user in the observation image, by driving the observation focus adjustment unit based on a detection result by the detector.

  • Patent number: 10820793
    Abstract: A biological object observation system includes an observation optical unit, a photodetector, a display unit, a detection unit, and a processor. The observation optical unit includes an optical system that guides a luminous flux from a biological object and a drive unit that drives the optical system. The photodetector receives optical information in accordance with the biological object. The display unit displays an observation image of the biological object generated on the basis of the optical information. The detection unit detects one of a position and a movement of an object in a display region of the displayed observation image. The processor controls the drive unit in accordance with the one of the position and the movement of the object that is detected.

  • Patent number: 10674908
    Abstract: A fundus imaging device includes an objective optical system formed of a plurality of eccentrically disposed mirrors, and an SLO optical system and an OCT optical system which irradiate a fundus with light from a light source via the objective optical system and receive fundus reflected light. The fundus imaging device further includes a correction mirror as a part of the objective optical system, or between the objective optical system and the SLO optical system or the OCT optical system. The correction mirror corrects an eccentric aberration which occurs due to eccentric arrangement of the plurality of mirrors.

  • Publication number: 20120231559
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor thin film includes the steps of: forming an amorphous semiconductor thin film on a substrate; forming a crystalline semiconductor thin film partially in each element region by applying laser light to the amorphous semiconductor thin film to selectively perform a heating process on the amorphous semiconductor thin film, thereby crystallizing the amorphous semiconductor thin film in a region irradiated with the laser light; and inspecting the crystallinity degree of the crystalline semiconductor thin film. The step of inspecting includes the steps of determining a contrast between the luminance of a crystallized region and the luminance of a non-crystallized region by applying light to the crystalline semiconductor thin film and the amorphous semiconductor thin film, and performing screening of the crystalline semiconductor thin film on the basis of the determined contrast.
