One frame image is composed of four field images ranging from a first field image to a fourth field image. With four adjacent pixels handled as one unit, the colors R, G, B, W of illuminating lights applied to the pixels in each unit are different from each other, and the arrangement of the colors is successively switched or changed in each field period. Information representing the colors R, G, B, W separated from a video signal is displayed sequentially in successive fields at positions corresponding to the colors of the illuminating lights applied to the pixels and times at which the illuminating lights are applied to the pixels.

Abstract: In an LCD projector, a color mixing optical system for mixing color beams transmitted through LCD elements includes an optical path length adjuster in three light paths from a light source to the LCD elements. The adjuster includes polarization beam splitters, phase plates, and light-beam reflectors. The numbers of reflections of the color beams in the optical paths from the light source to the projection lens are set only to odd values or only to even values. The adjusters are arranged and configured to equalize the respective optical path lengths to each other. With this configuration, the relative distribution of intensity of illumination is substantially equalized for the beams illuminating the respective LCD elements. Compounding the beams, there is attained a projected screen image with a satisfactory white balance and homogeneous chromaticity and luminance.

Abstract: A storage apparatus that includes a storage shelf having a plurality of horizontally and vertically arranged storage sections for storage of articles and a moving body for taking articles in and out of the storage shelf. Conventionally, since an article carrying in and out section for taking articles in and out of such storage apparatus is divided into working sections having substantially the same width as that of storage sections, a space for work is small and a work is made difficult and inefficient when the moving body is used to take articles out of the storage sections or articles are placed on the working sections. Therefore, a working space, which protrudes beyond the article carrying in and out section and is free of partitions is provided. With such arrangement, however, there is a problem that a storage apparatus is extended in a lengthwise direction.

Abstract: A stereoscopic display apparatus is so constructed that right-eye and left-eye images as parallax images and non-display portions are formed periodically and cyclically on a display device. When the viewer watches the apparatus at a correct position, he is capable of stereoscopic vision. When the head of the viewer is moved so that he sees the left-eye images through the right eye, he sees the non-display portions through the left eye. When the head of the viewer is moved so that he sees the right-eye images through the left eye, he sees the non-display portions through the right eye.
