  • Patent number: 10491870
    Abstract: An image display apparatus and a method of displaying an image. The image display apparatus includes an image-light projection device configured to display a display image, and a display controller configured to determine chromaticity coordinates of a display color of the display image based on data of a chromaticity coordinate area of background light such that the display color of the display image is set outside the chromaticity coordinate area of the background light. The method includes determining chromaticity coordinates of a display color of a display image based on data of a chromaticity coordinate area of background light such that the display color of the display image is set outside the chromaticity coordinate area of the background light.

  • Patent number: 8024300
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a first document manager stores image data in an image storage device, associates the image data with a first identifier, outputs the image data via an image output device when the first identifier is specified via an operation device, and deletes the image data from the image storage device when a first condition is satisfied. A second document manager associates the image data with a second identifier, outputs the second identifier via the image output device, and outputs the image data via the image output device when the second identifier is input via an image input device. The first document manager does not delete the image data from the image storage device and prohibits the operation device from specifying the first identifier when the image data is associated with both the first and second identifiers.
