Abstract: Provided is a display device that allows a distance from a display medium to an object ahead to be easily ascertained. The display device includes a display unit that projects a light beam onto a windshield so as to be reflected from the windshield such that a virtual image is displayed in a space further than the windshield in the depth direction, and a controller that controls the display unit so that a reference pattern to be superimposed on a pedestrian present in the space is displayed so as to correspond to the position of the pedestrian.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Fresnel lens that can reduce generation of concentric stray light. The Fresnel lens includes a sawtooth corrugated face that is formed by alternately disposing a first face inclined relative to optical axis A and a second face substantially parallel to optical axis A, and a light shielding mask is formed at a position corresponding to the second face.

Abstract: A display device includes: a video display that displays a video for projecting a virtual image onto a target space on a video display surface; an optical element; and a projector. The optical element moves a partial video, which is a part of the video displayed on the video display surface, to a position distant from the video display in a projection direction in which the video is projected. The projector projects a virtual image viewed by a user by projecting light output from the video display and the optical element to a reflecting member. The optical element has an incident surface on which the partial video is incident, and an emitting surface from which the partial video incident on the incident surface emits. The incident surface and the emitting surface are parallel to each other.

Abstract: A display device includes a video display, an optical element, and a projector. The video display displays a video on the video display surface. The optical element receives, on an incident surface, at least a part of the video displayed on the video display surface, and emits an incident video, which is the part of the video received on the incident surface, from an emitting surface. The projector projects a virtual image viewed by a user by projecting light output from the video display and the optical element to a reflecting member. An inclined portion inclined with respect to at least a part of the video display surface is provided on at least a part of the emitting surface of the optical element.

Abstract: The aberration takes place according to the height of the image because the laser light tilts from the optical axis when it enters to the object lens in the optical pickup device which is equipped with a laser diode for BD and the monolithic laser diode capable of irradiating laser lights with two different wavelengths for DVD and CD as one package to read the signal by single object lens and single optical system. This is because the light sources of the three lights with different wavelengths are away from each other in the optical pickup device. The emission point of the laser diode for BD is formed at the location shifted from the center of the chip. The laser diode for BD is disposed adjacent to the monolithic laser diode capable of irradiating laser lights with two wavelengths for DVD and CD to make the emission point closer to the monolithic laser diode. The sizes of these two laser diodes is minimized by employing half dicing during the cleavage processing for separating the chips.

Abstract: An astigmatism element converges laser light in a first direction for generating a first focal line, and converges the laser light in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction for generating a second focal line. A light separating element guides the laser light entered into two first areas and into two second areas to four respective positions different from each other, and guides the laser light entered into a third area to a position different from the four positions. When an intersection of two straight lines extending in parallel to the first direction and the second direction and intersecting with each other is aligned with an optical axis of the laser light, the third area is disposed at the intersection of the two straight lines.

Abstract: Provided are an optical pick-up device which can appropriately correct an optical path of a laser beam emitted from a light-emitting chip arranged with a mounting error, and a method of manufacturing the same. An optical pick-up device includes: a first light-emitting chip and a second light-emitting chip which emit laser beams having predetermined wavelengths; a PDIC which receives the laser beams emitted from the first and the second light-emitting chips; and a first optical correction component and a second optical correction component provided between the PDIC and the light-emitting chips. The first and the second optical correction components incline a first laser beam by diffraction, while transmitting a second laser beam and a third laser beam without inclining these beams. With the diffraction of the first laser beam by these two correction components, the optical path of the first laser beam is corrected to a predetermined position.
