  • Publication number: 20120092309
    Abstract: It is a main object of the invention to provide an image display device and an information processing device that can be incorporated in the computer main body of a notebook computer, etc., and can project an image at any desired angle when the image is projected onto a screen. To accomplish the object, the invention provides an image display device including a first unit for storing an optical system for displaying an image on a screen and a second unit for storing a control board for controlling the optical system, electrically connecting to the first unit, and holding the first unit for rotation. The first and second units are housed in a housing space formed in an information processing device. When the image is projected onto the screen, the first unit is completely exposed from the information processing device and at least a part of the second unit is stored in the information processing device.

  • Patent number: 6931650
    Abstract: A pickup device employing an inexpensive flexible printed circuit sheet (FPC) which demonstrates preferable electrical characteristics. FPC has a signal conductive layer inside, and a U-shape bending portion is formed in a midway of FPC at a position where a hologram unit is connected. An opening is formed on FPC adjacent to an area when the hologram unit is connected, and the length of this opening is longer than the height of the hologram unit.
