  • Patent number: 9219862
    Abstract: An imaging device includes: an imaging portion; a memory capable of storing images imaged by the imaging portion; a display portion; and a touch panel arranged to overlap with the display portion and capable of detecting a distance to an indicator. When the distance is equal to or less than a first distance and more than a second distance less than the first distance, the memory stores the images at predetermined time intervals. Then, when the distance becomes equal to or less than the second distance and equal to or more than 0, the display portion displays the image that is stored in the memory before the distance becomes equal to or less than the second distance and equal to or more than 0.

  • Patent number: 9052791
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a touch panel. The touch panel includes a first sensor panel including at least one receiving electrode; a second sensor panel including at least one transmission electrode, and overlaid on the first sensor panel; and a third sensor panel including a predetermined electrode at least a part of which overlaps the one transmission electrode, and overlaid on the second sensor panel. When a predetermined condition is detected in a state that a transmission signal identical to that for the one transmission electrode is applied on the predetermined electrode, application of the transmission signal identical to that for the one transmission electrode onto the predetermined electrode is stopped.

  • Patent number: 7850309
    Abstract: Elements of an optical system (12) of a projection type image display apparatus are stored in an optical system storage (46) having an upper opening in such a way that the optical element to be arranged close to a light source is fitted in the frame provided in the high-temperature region of the optical system storage (46) close to the light source, while the rest of the optical elements are respectively fitted in the frames in the low-temperature region of the optical system storage (46) remote from the light source. The upper opening in the high-temperature region is covered, in the low-temperature region, with a resilient metal lid (471), and, in the low-temperature region, covered with a resilient resin lid (472).

  • Publication number: 20100208209
    Abstract: An optical apparatus includes a frame, having optical components, mounted on a casing by means of an auxiliary member. The casing is provided with a groove in which the frame is inserted and a mount section to which a first part of the auxiliary member is fixed. The frame is provided with a frame-side positioning section engaged with a second part of the auxiliary member when the frame is inserted in the groove and then set at a predetermined angle of rotation. The auxiliary member is provided with the first part fixed to the mount section of the casing and the second part engaged with a frame-side positioning section. The first and the second part of the auxiliary member are formed in positions separate from each other while the second part is engaged with the frame-side positioning section under the elastic force of the auxiliary member.

  • Publication number: 20100141900
    Abstract: A lamp unit configuring a light source device capable of efficiently cooling a light source by a simple structure includes a light source and a plurality of air outlets for discharging the cooling air for cooling the light source. The plurality of air outlets include a first air outlet for discharging the cooling air in a first direction and a second air outlet for discharging the cooling air in a second direction. The cooling air discharged through the first air outlet is different in airflow rate from the cooling air discharged through the second air outlet, and the first direction is different from the second direction when viewed in the direction of the optical axis of the light source.

  • Publication number: 20080055552
    Abstract: An openable lid is provided to cover an opening formed in the upper end of a casing of a projection type image display apparatus. Formed on the base of the casing and underneath the opening is a first mount section, on which a plinth is mounted with fixing screws. A prism assembly incorporating at least three liquid crystal panels and three polarization plates for RGB colors integrally attached to a color compounding prism is securely fixed on the plinth. The first mount section is provided with engagement members fixed thereon for temporarily holding the plinth that bears thereon the prism assembly to thereby prevent the plinth from falling downward if the screws are removed to dismount the plinth from the first mount section even when the image display apparatus is installed upside down on a ceiling for example and the lid is open.
