Publication number: 20230176422Abstract: A liquid crystal display device prevents light leakage in a black display of a projected image when a light source reaches a higher temperature, and displays a high-quality image without any lost sense of reality. The device includes a light-transmissive liquid crystal display element including two glass substrates and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the glass substrates, a backlight device that emits light toward one glass substrate in the liquid crystal display element, an emission-light polarizing plate on the other glass substrate, an incident-light polarizing plate on the one glass substrate, and a polarizer being a plate and including a base layer including a glass substrate and a metal layer stacked on the base layer and having a polarization function. The polarizer is located with the base layer facing the incident-light polarizing plate. The base layer is thicker than each of the glass substrates.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Kenta KAMOSHIDA, Ryo TADAUCHI, Takashi SHIMADA, Kenji OGURA, Mitsuhiro MURATA

Publication number: 20230001790Abstract: A first input unit in a head-up display obtains a distance to an object. A second input unit obtains a user's eye position. An optical system projects, into the user's field of view, a virtual image of an image displayed on a display panel. A processor causes the display panel to display a parallax image. An optical element causes a first image displayed on the display panel to reach the user's first eye and a second image on the display panel to reach the user's second eye. The processor causes the display panel to display an image element in the parallax image as at least partially superimposed on the object. The processor performs first control to fix, in response to the distance to the object greater than or equal to a predetermined first distance, parallax of the image element to a value other than 0 corresponding to the first distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2020Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventors: Kaoru KUSAFUKA, Kenji OGURA, Ryo TADAUCHI

Publication number: 20220400248Abstract: A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel, an optical panel, and a controller. The display panel displays a parallax image. The optical panel defines a traveling direction of image light. The controller controls the parallax image based on positions of a first eye and a second eye of a user. The controller causes a predetermined proportion of pixels to display a black image. The predetermined proportion is determined to cause, for the first and second eyes of the user at a predetermined reference position, a black image to be displayed by a pixel at one end or two ends of multiple first areas viewable to the first eye and not viewable to the second eye and by a pixel at one end or two ends of multiple second areas viewable to the second eye and not viewable to the first eye in a parallax direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Kaoru KUSAFUKA, Takashi SHIMADA, Ryo TADAUCHI, Kenji OGURA

Publication number: 20220353485Abstract: A camera includes an image sensor, a signal processor, and an output unit. The image sensor obtains a first image being a subject image including an eye of a user of a head-up display. The signal processor generates a second image by reducing a resolution of an area of the first image other than an eyebox area. The eyebox area is an area within which a virtual image displayable by the head-up display is viewable by the eye of the user. The output unit outputs the second image to the head-up display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicant: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Mitsuhiro MURATA, Kaoru KUSAFUKA, Kenji OGURA

Publication number: 20220345686Abstract: A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel that displays a parallax image, an optical panel including a plurality of less-transmissive portions and a plurality of transmissive portions repeatedly arranged alternately in a parallax direction, and a controller that controls the display panel. Each of the plurality of transmissive portions has a first width in the parallax direction greater than a second width of each of the plurality of less-transmissive portions in the parallax direction. The controller causes the display panel to display a black image in a binocular viewable area on the display panel viewable to two eyes of a user to allow parallax separation of the parallax image.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Kaoru KUSAFUKA, Takashi SHIMADA, Ryo TADAUCHI, Kenji OGURA
