Abstract: A collimator lens 311 emits by converting a light signal from an optical fiber cable 20 to a collimated light, for example. The collimator lens 311 is retained in a plug housing 315 coupled to a reception side optical connector of the light signal. When the plug housing 315 is not coupled to the reception side optical connector, the pressing portion 313a sets the position of the collimator lens 311 at a position at which the emitted light signal has a predetermined divergence angle. When the optical connectors of the transmission side and the reception side are not connected, the light signal emitted from the optical connector of the transmission side is dispersed, and therefore emission of the light signal is prevented from giving a bad influence to a visual perception function or the like.

Abstract: A lens 311 of a plug 31 converts a light signal from an optical fiber cable 20 to light of a predetermined divergence angle in order to emit the light. A plug housing 315 fixes the optical fiber cable 20 and the lens 311. The lens 311 is positioned such that the light signal from the optical fiber cable 20 becomes the light of the predetermined divergence angle at an emission surface 20a side of the optical fiber cable 20. The light signal emitted from the plug 31 becomes dispersed when entering into the eyeball of a nearby person, and therefore can be prevented from exerting adverse effect on visual function and the like.

Abstract: Lenses 311a that collect an entering light signal to a light transmission path or a light detection unit is provided in a plug housing 315 coupled to a transmission side optical connector of the light signal. In the housing 315, the light transmission path or the light detection unit is retained for each lens 311a. In the housing 315, attachment portions 316L, 316R that attach the housing 315 to the transmission side optical connector is provided in an array direction of a plurality of lenses. In the lenses 311a, an entrance range of the light signal that is collectable to the light transmission path or the light detection unit is expanded in a direction orthogonal to the array direction of the lenses. Even if force is exerted in a turning direction about an axis at the array direction LP of the lenses, the entering light signal can be collected to the light transmission path or the light detection unit, in order to perform robust optical communication.

Abstract: Light signal transmitter units 21-1 to 21-n of a transmitter device 20 perform optical communication with a receiver device 40 via optical fiber cables 61-1 to 61-n of an optical interface cable 61. A connection detection unit 22 detects whether connection to the receiver device is established via the optical interface cable, and a visible light source control unit 24 causes a visible light source unit 25 to emit visible light that can identify by an attribute a connection relationship with the receiver device connected via the optical interface cable, only when the connection to the receiver device 40 is not detected, and causes visible light superposition units 26-1 to 26-n to superpose the visible light on the cable.

Abstract: An HDMI® source determines whether or not an HDMI® sink can receive a sub-signal based on VSDB of E-EDID. When the HDMI® sink can receive the sub-signal, the HDMI® source adds a sub-signal to pixel data of a main image composed of pixel data whose number of bits is smaller than that of transmission pixel data transmitted by a transmitter, thereby constructing transmission pixel data. This data is transmitted by the transmitter through TMDS channels #0 to #2. Furthermore, the HDMI® source transmits a general control packet containing sub-signal information indicating whether or not the sub-signal is contained in the transmission pixel data in the control period of a vertical blanking period. The present invention can be applied to, for example, HDMI®.
