  • Patent number: 5436639
    Abstract: An information processing system which comprises an integral input and display unit comprising a display which enables an object to be selectively displayed at one of a plurality of positions in a display area and a tablet having an input face overlaid on a display face of the display, the input and display face being disposed substantially horizontally, and a display whose display face is disposed substantially uprightly, wherein when an object is presented to a user in the display area of the display, a display position of the object is determined in response to at least one of a state of the user, a state of the input and display face, and a display state of the display, thereby enabling the object to be displayed at an easy-to-use position relative to the user's position.

  • Patent number: 5272540
    Abstract: In a projection lens device having at least two plastic lenses for magnification-projecting an original image displayed on a display screen onto a screen, one of the two plastic lens is convex at a center thereof toward the screen and concave at a periphery thereof, and the other lens has a weak positive refractive power toward the screen at a center thereof and a stronger positive refractive power at a periphery thereof. A variation of a lens power due to a change of a surrounding environment is cancelled out by the concave shape at the periphery of the one lens and the positive refractive power at the periphery of the other lens.

  • Patent number: 5103302
    Abstract: A projection type image display device provided with three projecting lenses projecting light emitted by cathode-ray tubes of different colors, red, green and blue, on a screen while enlarging an image is disclosed, in which clapper plates are disposed preferably in front of the red and the blue image source and the clapper plates have different shapes so as to obtain an image without the fluctuation in the color on the whole surface of the screen, even in the case where the distance from the cathode-ray tubes to the screen is shortened in order to reduce the size of the display device.
