  • Patent number: 6986583
    Abstract: A table type display device capable of selecting the best projector according to user's budget and mode is provided for with easy exchange of the projector. The table type display device comprises four projectors 1LU, 1LL, 1RU, and 1RL for projecting luminous flux to form image, reflection mirrors 2U and 2L for bending an optical path of luminance flux projected from each of these projectors, and a screen 3 of horizontal installation type for projecting luminous flux with its optical path being bent by reflection mirrors 2U and 2L, onto predetermined regions respectively. The screen housing portion 4b of the main body unit 4 accommodates the screen 3, the reflection mirrors 2U and 2L, and the light shading plates 6LU, 6LL, 6RU, and 6RL, and the projector unit housing portion 4a of the main body unit 4 accommodates projectors 1LU, 1LL, 1RU, and 1RL housed by the projector unit 5.

  • Publication number: 20050271299
    Abstract: An image transforming device wherein one input image or a plurality of input images captured or created under different condition are geometrically transformed to create an output image, including: an input geometrical profile calculating section to calculate an input geometrical profile directing to a coordinate relation between pixel positions of the input image and polar coordinate positions of the input image in view of a given observing position; an output geometrical profile calculating section to calculate an output geometrical profile directing to a coordinate relation between pixel positions of the output image and polar coordinate positions of the output image in view of the observing position; and geometrical transforming section to geometrically transform the input image on the input geometrical profile and the output geometrical profile, thereby calculating the output image.

  • Publication number: 20020158813
    Abstract: The pixel number of an image display is increased through the optical shift of the positions of the pixels of the image display, that is, pixel shift. Therefore, a high resolution image can be observed using a low cost image display with a relatively few pixel number.
