  • Publication number: 20250306446
    Abstract: An illumination system and a projection device including the illumination system are disclosed. The illumination system includes a light source, a first turning prism, a second prism, and a light homogenizing element. The light source is configured to generate a light beam. The first turning prism is disposed on the travel path of the light beam. The second turning prism is disposed on the travel path of the light beam from the first turning prism and guides the light beam with the first turning prism. The light homogenizing element is disposed between the first turning prism and the second turning prism and homogenizes the light beam. By the aforementioned configuration, the light path of the illumination system is shortened, and the light uniformity of the light beam is ensured. Based on the advantages of the illumination system, the projection device achieves the objective of reducing volume of a micro projector.

    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes a light source module, a light splitting element, first and second polarization reflection modules. The light source module provides a first light beam having a first polarization state and a second light beam having a second polarization state. The light splitting element reflects the first light beam and allows the second light beam to pass through. The first polarization reflection module reflects the first light beam to the light splitting element and converts the first polarization state into the second polarization state. The second polarization reflection module reflects the first and second light beam and convert the second polarization states into third polarization states. The first and second light beam from the second polarization reflection module form a far-field virtual image and a near-field virtual image through the imaging element.

  • Patent number: 11842568
    Abstract: A feature surface projection system includes a projector, a camera, and a controller. The projector projects a structured light and an image beam to a feature surface at different times. The structured light forms a structured light pattern on the feature surface, and the image beam forms an image on the feature surface. The camera photographs the structured light pattern and the image at different times. The controller is electrically connected to the projector and the camera, calculates a position of a feature point of the feature surface, and determines a difference between a position of a feature point of the image and the position of the feature point of the feature surface to determine whether to adjust the image beam. A projection method for a feature surface is also provided. The feature surface projection system provides an automatic alignment function between a projected content and the feature surface.

  • Patent number: 8524445
    Abstract: The present invention discloses microwave resonant absorption (MRA) of viruses through dipolar coupling to viral confined acoustic modes. The unique geometrical and mechanical properties of viruses can be reflected by the MRA frequencies, MRA linewidth, and the absorption selection rules of high-order acoustic modes. Combined these spectral characteristics with the mature microwave technology, this invention provides a novel physical mechanism to develop non-affinity-based rapid detection and identification of viruses. It can be applied in preliminary characterization on unknown or mutant viruses.
