  • Patent number: 10880527
    Abstract: When gradation of a mixed video signal is equal to or less than a predetermined gradation, a subframe data generator generates subframe data so that an applied voltage to a display element is turned off during a first predetermined period from a start of the frame of a video signal for a visible light image or a video signal for an infrared light image. A light source controller turns on a visible light source after a lapse of a second predetermined period from a start of the frame of the video signal for a visible light image, and turns off the visible light source at the timing when the frame of the video signal for a visible light image is ended.

  • Patent number: 9165530
    Abstract: A signal processor converts an input 3D image signal into a signal in which a left-eye signal and right-eye signal are rearranged temporally alternately. A driver of a liquid crystal display element includes a sub-frame data generator configuring all the sub-frames with step bit pulses and generating sub-frame data by using a drive gradation table in which the last sub-frame reaches a drive state when a drive gradation is “1” and the number of sub-frames reaching the drive state is increased one by one toward ahead of a sub-frame which has already reached the drive state, every time the drive gradation is increased by one. The liquid crystal display element is driven by the driver. An illumination optical system causes illumination light to enter into the liquid crystal display element. A projection lens projects modulated light emitted from the liquid crystal display element.

  • Patent number: 8559389
    Abstract: It is possible to provide a wireless communication terminal, a handoff method in the wireless communication terminal, and a wireless communication system which can suppress the affect of an instantaneous disconnection in a hard handoff. The wireless communication terminal (10) includes a control unit (12) which executes a wireless communication by switching a frequency to be used by a communication unit (11). When the control unit (12) receives a search request which requests an acquisition of a handoff candidate frequency during a transmission of data formed by a plurality of continuous packets, the control unit (12) waits for completion of the transmission of the packets being transmitted. When the transmission is complete, the control unit (12) executes an inter-packet search process which controls the communication unit (11) to stop transmission of the subsequent packets and perform acquisition by switching from the currently used frequency to the handoff candidate frequency.

  • Patent number: 8472961
    Abstract: A system for maintaining wireless communication with a plurality of base stations in a communication network is disclosed. A portable terminal having a communication unit is configured to measure signal strength of a transmission signal for neighboring base stations in a frequency band being used by the communication unit, and create a first handoff candidate list in which one or more handoff candidates in a same frequency band are recorded. A handoff using the first handoff candidate list is performed by the portable terminal. Thereafter, the portable terminal measures signal strength of one or more base stations included in a second handoff candidate list. The result of the signal strength measurements are reported to the currently communicating base station, and a handoff is performed based on a response to the report at the portable terminal.

  • Patent number: 8373692
    Abstract: A first linearly polarized bundle of rays of incident rays is converted by optical modulation with an input video signal into a second linearly polarized bundle of rays orthogonal to the first rays in polarization. The first rays pass through a polarizer before optically modulated. A second linearly polarized bundle of rays originally involved in the incident rays is reflected by the polarizer in a first direction. The second rays obtained by the optical modulation are reflected by the polarizer in a second direction. The second rays reflected in the second direction pass through another polarizer. A first linearly polarized bundle of rays involved in the reflected second rays is reflected by the other polarizer. The reflected first rays is detected by an optical sensor that is positioned outside an optical path of the second rays originally involved in the incident rays and reflected in the first direction.
