  • Patent number: 9592762
    Abstract: A vehicle driving assistance apparatus includes a coherent light source, a road surface projection optical system, a road surface wet information retention section, and a control circuit. The road surface projection optical system scans a light source beam emitted from the coherent light source to output a projection beam, and thereby project the light pattern on the road surface around the own vehicle, the light source beam being light. The control circuit is configured to stop the output of the projection beam during a period in which the road surface wet information retention section retains information indicating that the road surface around the own vehicle is wet. The projection beam enters the road surface around the own vehicle at a shallow angle, and projects the light pattern toward a road surface near a boundary of a traveling lane where the own vehicle is traveling.

  • Publication number: 20160247393
    Abstract: A vehicle driving assistance apparatus installed in a vehicle displays a predetermined light pattern on a road surface around an own vehicle. The vehicle driving assistance apparatus includes a coherent light source that emits a light source beam, a road surface projection optical system that scans the light source beam and emits the projection beam, a road surface presence information retention section and a control circuit. The control circuit stops the projection beam toward the position where the road surface is absent.

  • Publication number: 20120105943
    Abstract: A laser ray wavelength modification apparatus that includes a semiconductor laser element, a fundamental wave light reflecting element, a wavelength modification element, a selective reflection member and a dichroic mirror. The selective reflection member permits fundamental wave light among light rays emitted from the wavelength modification element to pass through to the fundamental wave light reflecting element while reflecting the wavelength modification light. The dichroic mirror is arranged between the semiconductor laser element and the wavelength modification element. The dichroic mirror transmits the fundamental wave light and removes by reflection out the wavelength modification light.
