  • Patent number: 10890833
    Abstract: A projection-type image display apparatus has a projection optical system that can sufficiently meet requirements for significant reduction in a throw distance and a large image and that can downsize. A projection image display apparatus of an oblique type comprising, inside a housing: a light source; an image display element configured to modulate an intensity of light from the light source in accordance with an image signal; and a projection lens system including a plurality of lenses configured to project image light onto a projection plane from an oblique direction, the image light being modulated from the image display element. The projection lens system has a lens integrally having an aspherical lens surface and a freeform lens surface, and the lens integrally having the aspherical lens surface and the freeform lens surface is arranged in the projection lens system so that light components of luminous flux are separated.

  • Patent number: 7750590
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a base, a display screen part supported on the base turnably, a driving part for turning the display screen part in accordance with an inputted control signal, a turning prevention mechanism for preventing turning of the display screen part, a judgment part for judging on the basis of the inputted control signal whether the display apparatus is operated or not, and a controller for producing a signal for operating the turning prevention mechanism to prevent turning of the display screen part when it is judged that there is no operation to the display screen part and producing a signal for releasing operation of the turning prevention mechanism when it is judged that there is operation to the display screen part.

  • Patent number: 7436140
    Abstract: A self-supporting stand for a thin display device is to be controlled so that the display device faces in a preset screen direction in a one-touch manner. A function of constantly recognizing the screen direction of the display device and detecting its own direction by detecting a resistance value of a resistance volume such as a variable resistor installed in an electric screen direction changing mechanism, and a control unit which reproduces a preset screen direction no matter in which direction the screen faces currently, are combined with each other.
