  • Patent number: 11804052
    Abstract: A method for setting a target flight path of an aircraft in a physical environment, the method includes: displaying a virtual three-dimensional model corresponding to the physical environment; setting a start point in the virtual three-dimensional model according to a user input indicative of a position of the start point; continuously tracking a trajectory of a physical object moved in a space corresponding to the virtual three-dimensional model while displaying within the virtual three-dimensional model a continuous path corresponding to the trajectory of the physical object from the start point; setting an end point of the continuous path in the virtual three-dimensional model according to a user input indicative of a position of the end point; and generating the target flight path of the aircraft in the physical environment based on the continuous path from the start point to the end point in the virtual three-dimensional model.

  • Patent number: 10429637
    Abstract: An electro-optical device includes a mirror being positioned above a surface of a substrate and modulating light, and a torsion hinge being positioned between the mirror and the substrate and pivotably supporting the mirror. The electro-optical device includes beam portions being disposed between the mirror and the substrate at positions that do not overlap the mirror in plan view, and being supported by the substrate while being spaced away from the mirror and the substrate. Spring tips that regulate a pivot range of the mirror protrude from the beam portions toward positions that overlap the mirror in plan view.

  • Patent number: 10095093
    Abstract: An electrooptical device of a projection display device includes a first driving element and a second driving element. The first driving element switches a position of a first mirror between a first turn-on position, in which the first mirror reflects a first light-source light beam from a first irradiation direction in an ON-direction, and a first turn-off position, in which the first mirror reflects the first light-source light beam in a first OFF-direction. The second driving element switches a position of a second mirror between a second turn-on position, in which the second mirror reflects a second light-source light beam in the ON-direction, and a second turn-off position, in which the second mirror reflects the second light-source light beam in a second OFF-direction.

  • Patent number: 10025167
    Abstract: A projection-type display device includes a light source unit, an electro-optical device that modulates light emitted from the light source unit, and a projection optical system that projects the light modulated by the electro-optical device. In the electro-optical device, when a mirror that modulates light assumes an ON posture, the light from the light source unit is reflected in an ON direction toward the projection optical system and, when the mirror assumes an OFF posture, the light from the light source unit is reflected in an OFF direction different from the ON direction. An image capture element that receives incident light that has entered the projection-type display device from the outside via the projection optical system is provided in a direction in which the incident light is reflected by the mirror that assumes the OFF posture.
