  • Publication number: 20230333395
    Abstract: A display apparatus is attachable to a user. The display apparatus includes a display, a substrate connected to the display and bendable, and an actuator configured to generate a driving force to move the display in a first direction that intersects a display surface of the display. The actuator is disposed at a position shifted from the display in a second direction different from the first direction. The substrate is fixed at a position closer in the second direction to a surface of the display on a side where the actuator is located than to a surface of the display on a side where the actuator is not located. The substrate extends in the second direction from a connected portion of the substrate connected to the display toward the side where the actuator is located.

  • Patent number: 11740478
    Abstract: A display unit and a lens included in a display device constitute a plurality of display optical systems that display a video for each of a user's left eye and right eye. The display device includes a diopter change instruction unit and a diopter change driving unit that can change a diopter related to the plurality of display optical systems, and an object position calculation unit that calculates an object position of a display object in a video. The diopter change instruction unit gives a driving instruction to the diopter change driving unit on the basis of information acquired from a user information recording unit and an operation mode recording unit that record information on usage conditions of the display device.

  • Patent number: 11689120
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a vibration type actuator that moves a vibrating body in which vibrations are excited by an electromechanical energy conversion element, and a contact body contacting the vibrating body relative to each other includes a generation unit configured to generate multi-phase driving signals having a phase difference applied to the electromechanical energy conversion element, and a detection unit configured to detect an actual position of a movable unit including the vibrating body or the contact body. The generation unit sets the phase difference based on a deviation of the actual position from a target position of the movable unit. The generation unit makes larger a change rate of the phase difference against the deviation from when the movable unit stops to when the movable unit starts moving as the target position changes than that after the movable unit starts moving.

  • Publication number: 20230066962
    Abstract: A display device includes a pair of display units each including displays 1R and 1L and ocular optical systems 2R and 2L. A first driving unit can change an optical positional relationship between the displays 1R and 1L and the ocular optical systems 2R and 2L. A second driving unit can change an interval between the pair of display units. An interpupillary distance adjustment unit adjusts the interval between the display units by the second driving unit in accordance with a detection result obtained by the interpupillary distance detector. After interpupillary distance adjustment is performed, a diopter adjustment unit performs diopter adjustment related to the display unit by the first driving unit.

  • Patent number: 11463022
    Abstract: A driving control apparatus that controls driving of a vibration actuator having a plurality of electromechanical energy conversion elements. The driving control apparatus includes a controller configured to generate a plurality of driving signals each of which has a same waveform and has a different phase, and to respectively apply the plurality of driving signals to different elements of the plurality of electromechanical energy conversion elements. The controller changes the waveform according to the phase. A shape of a first waveform according to a first phase is closer to a square wave shape than a shape of a second waveform according to a second phase that is larger than the first phase.
