  • Patent number: 7738179
    Abstract: An image display device projects lights emitted from each of two two-dimensionally light emitting type photoelectric devices onto first and second light diffusing bodies, and projects and images transmitted images of the light diffusing bodies onto the retina in the respective eyeballs of the user. The display device includes one light source, a first polarization beam splitter dividing light emitted from the light source into P-polarized light and S-polarized light, and an optical system which leads each of the P-polarized light and S-polarized lights respectively to the two photoelectric devices thereby illuminating the two photoelectric devices. The optical system leads polarized light to each of the two photoelectric devices via a second polarization beam splitter and a ?/4 plate, and leads reflected lights to the relay optical system via the ?/4 plate and the second polarization beam splitter.

  • Patent number: 7256869
    Abstract: A scanning exposure apparatus includes a projection system, a stage system, a first detector and a control system. The stage system has first and second stages, each of which is movable independently in a plane while holding a substrate. The first detector detects focusing information of a vicinity of an outer circumference of the substrate during a detecting operation. The control system controls the stage system to perform the detecting operation with the first stage, while performing a first exposure operation on the substrate held by the second stage. After the first exposure operation, a second exposure operation for the substrate held on the first stage is performed, in which a shot area in the vicinity of the outer circumference of the substrate is exposed by moving the first stage while adjusting a position of the substrate surface held by the first stage using the detected focusing information.
