  • Publication number: 20230148045
    Abstract: An aerial image projector includes a first reflective element, a second reflective element, a first optical element, a display device, and a second optical element. The first reflective element transmits, in a second direction, a part of first image light traveling in a first direction and reflects, in a third direction, a part of second image light traveling in the second direction. The second reflective element retroreflects the first image light transmitted through the first reflective element as the second image light. The first optical element is between the first reflective element and the second reflective element. The first optical element collects the first image light and collects the second image light. The display device emits the first image light. The second optical element divides a beam of the first image light emitted from the display device into at least two light beams.

  • Patent number: 9887724
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is disclosed. An electronic apparatus comprises a housing, a press switch, an operation button, a bonding member, and a watertight member. The housing has a front surface on which a cover panel is located and has a side surface in which a through hole is formed. The press switch is located in the housing and has a press surface facing the through hole. The operation button is a button for pressing the press switch. The bonding member has watertightness and has a portion that surrounds a circumference of one opening of the through hole. The watertight member is located between the press switch and the operation button and is bonded to the housing with the bonding member such that the watertight member blocks the one opening.
