Patent number: 10890833Abstract: A projection-type image display apparatus has a projection optical system that can sufficiently meet requirements for significant reduction in a throw distance and a large image and that can downsize. A projection image display apparatus of an oblique type comprising, inside a housing: a light source; an image display element configured to modulate an intensity of light from the light source in accordance with an image signal; and a projection lens system including a plurality of lenses configured to project image light onto a projection plane from an oblique direction, the image light being modulated from the image display element. The projection lens system has a lens integrally having an aspherical lens surface and a freeform lens surface, and the lens integrally having the aspherical lens surface and the freeform lens surface is arranged in the projection lens system so that light components of luminous flux are separated.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: MAXELL, LTD.Inventors: Koji Hirata, Masahiko Yatsu, Yuki Matsumiya, Masanori Takaji

Patent number: 10678017Abstract: A projection type image display device includes an oblique projection optical system that magnifies and projects modulated image light, and includes lens elements and a reflection mirror having a convex surface. A center of an outer shape of one or more of the lens elements at a nearest position to the reflection mirror is positioned above an optical axis. The reflection mirror has a reflection surface shape orthogonal to a projection plane inclusive of the optical axis of the reflection mirror. The reflection surface shape and lens element are formed as specified. For example, the reflection surface shape is formed so that an average radius of curvature in an area through which a light flux focused at a center of the projection plane passes is smaller than that of curvature in an area through which a light flux focused at an upper end portion of the projection plane passes.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2015Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: MAXELL, LTD.Inventors: Koji Hirata, Masahiko Yatsu, Shuji Kato, Yuki Matsumiya, Kayono Kimura
