  • Patent number: 9625803
    Abstract: A screen is provided with microcapsules and a base material. The microcapsules each contain encapsulated liquid inside a capsule membrane. The microcapsules are planarly arranged on the base material. The encapsulated liquid includes light diffusion particles for scattering light, and a dispersion medium for dispersing the light diffusion particles. In a cross sectional area of the microcapsule projected in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the base material on which the microcapsules are planarly arranged, the ratio of the area of the encapsulated region to the area of the microcapsule ranges from 0.9025 to 0.990.

  • Patent number: 9341793
    Abstract: Provided is a light source device which includes: a LD mounted on a stem; a cap fixed to the stem so as to cover the LD; a light converging lens capable of converging light flux emitted from the LD; an optical fiber connection portion to which an optical fiber is connected, the optical fiber receiving inputting of the light flux converged by the light converging lens; and a holder for holding the optical fiber connection portion, the holder being fixed to the cap. The optical fiber connection portion includes a position adjusting portion which adjusts a position of the optical fiber connection portion with respect to the holder.

  • Patent number: 8879143
    Abstract: A screen includes a light diffusion layer in which microcapsules, each having therein a light diffusion liquid that scatters light for displaying a video image, are planarly arranged. The light diffusion layer is fixed to a supporting sheet by a binder material. On a surface of the supporting sheet, a Fresnel lens is formed. A light diffusion plate is made up of the light diffusion layer and the supporting sheet. The screen is made up of the light diffusion plate and a light diffusion plate. Scattering distribution of a scattered wave of light that passes through the light diffusion layer temporally changes.

  • Patent number: 8439506
    Abstract: A reflector mounting structure includes a reflector and a fixing member. The reflector includes: a reflecting surface; a reflector body having the reflecting surface formed thereon; a pair of first connecting units provided respectively at an end face of the reflector body and having a substantially spherical first protrusion at an end thereof; and a second connecting unit provided at an end face of the reflector body. The fixing member which supports the reflector includes a pair of first supporting units respectively having a planar contact portion and bringing the contact portion into contact with an end of the first protrusion, and a second supporting unit. A contact-portion vertical distance is set such that the first protrusion moves while rolling with respect to a contact portion when the reflector deforms.

  • Publication number: 20100328622
    Abstract: A projection image display apparatus is provided which is capable of preventing misregistration in an on-screen image. A main frame assembly holds together an optical engine that modulates light emitted from a light source and a screen on which light emitted from the optical engine is projected, and the main frame assembly is configured to be supported by a bottom frame formed by a separate structure, whereby distortion having occurred at the bottom frame is caused not to transmit to the main frame assembly.
