Publication number: 20210241678Abstract: The LED display system includes LED displays arranged in a matrix and a control device to control the LED displays. Each LED display includes a first display part including first LEDs provided on a display surface for displaying video, a second display part including at least one second LED provided on the other surface, a luminance measurement part to measure the luminance of the second LED, a first driving part to drive each first LED, and a second driving part to drive the second LED. The control device computes a luminance drop characteristic for each of the driving conditions on the basis of the luminance of the second LED, and corrects a luminance of the video on the basis of one luminance drop characteristic and the accumulative lighting-up time. The control device performs control to cause the LED displays to display the video after the correction of the luminance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2018Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yoshinori ASAMURA, Hirokazu TAGUCHI

Patent number: 7594739Abstract: A light source device (100) includes a discharge lamp (1), a reflection mirror (2), a transparent plate (3) and a case (7). The reflection mirror (2) has inlet openings (4a, 4b) and outlet openings (5a, 5b) formed in the vicinity of the front end of the reflection mirror (2). The case (7) has outlet openings (7a, 7b) disposed on the front side of the reflection mirror (2), and an inlet opening (7c) disposed on the rear side of the reflection mirror (2). The inlet opening (7c) of the case (7) allows an air to flow into the case (7) and to flow along a back surface (2b) of the reflection mirror (2). The inlet openings (4a, 4b) of the reflection mirror (2) allow the air to flow into the interior of the reflection mirror (2). The outlet openings (5a, 5b) of the reflection mirror (2) and the outlet openings (7a, 7b) of the case (7) allow the air to be exhausted out of the case (7).Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hirokazu Taguchi, Yoshinori Kakuta, Kimito Nishikawa

Patent number: 5808759Abstract: A light source device including a light emitting element emits a luminous flux, which is converged by a reflecting mirror. A conical light-refracting element receives the luminous flux converged by the reflecting mirror and changes the cone angle of the luminous flux. The luminous flux exiting the conical light-refracting element is diffused by a holographic diffuser and is then converged by at least one lens. The reflecting mirror may have an elliptic curvature or a parabolic curvature. The light source device is also used to form a projector for a projection type display apparatus. In the projector, the luminous flux emitted from the light source device may be separated by color separators into a plurality of colors of light. Then, each color of light is directed to the corresponding one of a plurality of light valves. Then, a color synthesizer synthesizes the colors of light emitted from the light valves into a composite image which in turn is projected onto a screen.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1996Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shinji Okamori, Akira Daijogo, Hiroshi Kida, Shinsuke Shikama, Hirokazu Taguchi
