Patent number: 11350067Abstract: A first image, a second image, and a third image generated by a camera that captures a screen at a first timing, a second timing, and a third timing are sequentially acquired. The projection states of a first projector and a second projector at the third timing are caused to be the same as the projection states of the first and second projectors at the first timing. The projection state of the first projector is caused to differ from the projection state of the second projector at least one of the first timing or the second timing. Whether or not the first projector needs to be adjusted is evaluated based on the first image, the second image, and the third image.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventor: Susumu Ota

Patent number: 6548832Abstract: In a light irradiation device in which a light emitting element is attached to a printed circuit board, the heat radiation properties are enhanced, and improvement of the light emitting efficiency and reduction of the size and weight are realized. A Cu pattern covered with Ni is formed on a metal substrate 11. Light emitting elements 11 are mounted on the pattern in the form of a series circuit. Metal substrates in each of which the series connection is formed are connected to one another in parallel. Since Ni has excellent corrosion resistance and a high reflection efficiency, the surfaces of the substrates themselves can be used as reflective plates. A lens 37 is formed for each of the light emitting elements, whereby the emission efficiency can be further improved. When a circuit is configured in one region of a hybrid integrated circuit substrate, a position recognition mark 53 and a flow stop 57 are disposed in the open region. Also the region is covered with Ni so as to function as reflecting means.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2000Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Noriaki Sakamoto, Hisashi Shimizu, Susumu Ota, Yoshiyuki Kobayashi
