  • Patent number: 9435996
    Abstract: An illumination optical system for a beam projector includes: a light source; a color conversion unit having at least one fluorescent substance layer that reflects a light from the light source or converts the light emitted from the light source to a wavelength-converted light; and a dichroic mirror that causes the light emitted from the light source to be incident on the color conversion unit. Lights reflected or emitted by the conversion unit and having different wavelengths are incident on a display panel through the same path. In the illumination optical system, a light emitted from one light source can be processed to produce red, green and blue lights which can be in turn incident on the display panel through the same optical path of the light reflected or emitted by the conversion unit.

  • Publication number: 20120088496
    Abstract: Provided is a method for automatically setting an area code by a femto access point (AP) located in a coverage area of a macro cell. The method includes receiving a broadcast signal of the macro cell, extracting an area code of the macro cell from the received broadcast signal, and setting the extracted area code as an area code of the femto cell. The femto AP sets the same area code as that of the macro cell as its area code and transmits the area code of the femto AP to the mobile station, thereby preventing the mobile station from repeating the location registration and enabling the mobile station to receive the same paging message from the femto AP and the macro cell.
