Abstract: The position of a light blocking object is detected not only within a display screen, but also outside the display screen. With the use of the function of detecting the position in a region outside the display screen, it becomes possible to provide virtual buttons in this region and detect dust around a light retro-reflector. Dirt on the light retro-reflector is detected based on the levels of light receiving signals of optical units.

Abstract: In order to measure a scanning light cut-off region, an output of a light receiving element and a threshold value set by an MPU are compared by a comparator and a region where the former is smaller than the latter is measured as the scanning light cut-off region. During one cycle of optical scanning, this threshold value is switched in a plurality of stages according to the scanning angle. By accurately measuring the scanning light cut-off region, the correct position and size of an indicator such as a finger or pen are calculated.

Abstract: Laser light emitted by a light emitting element is made parallel light by a collimation lens, passes through an aperture of an aperture mirror, and is then angularly scanned in a plane substantially parallel to a display screen by rotation of a polygon mirror and projected onto a recurrence reflection sheet. Then, after the reflected light from the recurrence reflection sheet is reflected by the polygon mirror and aperture mirror, the light is focused by a condenser lens to enter a light receiving element. The aperture mirror has an asymmetrical shape in the scanning direction and/or the vertical direction about the optical axis, according to a scanning surface opening width of the polygon mirror.
