  • Patent number: 11625876
    Abstract: A display device according synthesizes icons and messages with a portion where no descriptive display image is displayed by OSD for display. Icon functions are set by a PC so that the setting of the operation of the PC and the display device, and the setting of an external device can be conducted. The number of lines of the message to be displayed is determined according to distortion correction at the case of oblique projection to correct position coordinates detected by a camera. In a presentation system including an interactive white board device, the display device (for example, a liquid crystal projector), and the PC, the display of the icons are improved to extend the functions, and the display of the messages at the case of oblique projection, and a position detection precision on a screen by the camera incorporated into the display device are improved.

  • Publication number: 20220070421
    Abstract: A projection type video display apparatus is configured to include a projection optical system, an image processor, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the image processor to perform a blending process for partially changing the brightness of projection videos. The controller is configured to perform control to set a mode of the projection type video display apparatus to a blending adjustment mode in which a user adjusts the blending process performed by the image processor. In the blending adjustment mode, the controller is configured to perform control to generate a menu image of the blending adjustment menu and display the menu image in the projection video. In the blending adjustment mode, the controller automatically changes a display position of the blending adjustment menu according to a position of a blending adjustment region that is a region to be adjusted by the blending process.

  • Patent number: 9892713
    Abstract: In a display device provided with a frame memory developing an auxiliary line image as a display image and a means of reading out and displaying the image data developed in the aforementioned frame memory, the aforementioned auxiliary line image is constituted by background pixels and dashed auxiliary lines constituted by pixels which have luminance or color that is different from that of the background color and pixels with have nearly identical luminance or color to that of the background color; and by carrying out the display of the dashes so as to move, at fixed time intervals or arbitrary time intervals, the dash display areas of the aforementioned auxiliary lines on the trajectory of the figure described by the aforementioned auxiliary lines, the system is devised to display the auxiliary lines while controlling that an identical pixel of the display device is not displayed continually.

  • Publication number: 20180020181
    Abstract: A video display system for a meeting includes a video information terminal device typified by a liquid crystal projector, a video display unit typified by a whiteboard, a server which stores information and a user terminal (mobile terminal) held by a member of the meeting. A host of the meeting transmits information regarding the time of the meeting, members, and contents thereof to the server. A reservation list and a participant list are displayed and updated depending on an attendance/nonattendance answer from a member. A diagram or letters written on the whiteboard during the meeting are captured by the video information terminal device, inverted in brightness, stored in a memory, and displayed as a video image. At the end of the meeting, video data is stored as a file. When the meeting is resumed, the stored file is reproduced, developed in the memory, and displayed as a video image.
