  • Patent number: 10986275
    Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a light source emitting light; an optical scanner scanning a predetermined scanning zone with light from the light source to render a display image; a light intensity detector detecting a light intensity of light from the light source; a memory storing relationships between control currents provided to the light source and light intensities; and one or more processors controlling, on the basis of the control current and light intensity relationships stored in the memory, a control current to display the display image with light from the light source. When the optical scanner scans an area outside the display image, the one or more processors detect by the light intensity detector a light intensity of light for the scanning, and update on the basis of the light intensity the relationships stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 10884243
    Abstract: An HUD apparatus is configured to irradiate light for forming an image on a transmissive reflector provided in a movable body, and to display a virtual image in a display area to overlap the virtual image with scenery outside the movable body. A given distance range in the scenery from a reference point that is set in the movable body is included in the display area, and a difference between a first convergence angle to a target object (e.g., road surface) that is present in the given distance range and a second convergence angle to the virtual image displayed in the display area is at most one degree.
