  • Patent number: 8593580
    Abstract: A projection-type display apparatus, being suitable to be applied as a light source of a solid-state light source, in the place of a conventional lamp, comprises: a light source unit, which is configured to emit a white-color light therefrom; a light separation optic system, which is configured to separate the white color light from the light source unit into three primary color lights, red-color (R), green-color (G) and blue-color (B); R, G and B light modulating portions, each of which modulates each of R, G and B polarized lights separated, depending on a video signal, respectively; a light composing unit, which is configured to compose optical images, which are formed by the R, G and B light modulating portions; and a projecting portion, which is configure to project the optical image composed, enlargedly, wherein the light source unit emits a white color light emitting from a nearly point-like light source, including an excitation light from a solid-state light emitting element therein.

  • Patent number: 5907364
    Abstract: A display device for information signals which performs highly efficient image display of a standard television signal, a high definition television signal, a progressive scanning television signal or a stereoscopic television signal on the same screen has a first signal input unit applied with the standard television signal, a second signal input unit applied with the high definition television signal, progressive scanning television signal or stereoscopic television signal, a mode designation unit for designating a mode for display of one of the signals, a signal conversion unit including a write unit for writing the first signal, at a frequency thereof, to memories and a read unit for reading the memories at a frequency which is nearly twice that of the first signal, a signal switching unit, a signal processing unit and a deflection switching unit, whereby a first display signal from the signal conversion unit or a second display signal from the second input terminal is selected and image-displayed on the

  • Patent number: 4121252
    Abstract: In a television receiver having a peak value type AGC circuit for maintaining the amplitude difference between a carrier zero level and the peak value of a composite video signal amplified by a high frequency amplifier and a video intermediate frequency amplifier at a constant magnitude, an automatic brightness limiter (ABL) circuit is provided which controls the AGC circuit such that when the beam current exceeds a predetermined value and the carrier zero level approaches the peak value, a composite video signal of reduced amplitude is produced.
