  • Patent number: 11856337
    Abstract: A projection-type display device includes: a display element including a rectangular displayable region in which an image is displayable; and a projection optical system. Assuming that a focal length of the projection optical system is f and a length of a long side of the displayable region is w, 0.15<|f|/w<0.45 is satisfied. An absorption layer that absorbs light is provided in at least a portion of a non-optically effective surface of a lens which is disposed closer to a reduction side than a first lens closest to an enlargement side in the projection optical system and at least a part of a portion which is irradiated with light that has been emitted from an image and reflected by an enlargement-side surface of the first lens or a reduction-side surface of the first lens.

  • Patent number: 11835697
    Abstract: A zoom lens forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens includes a plurality of lens groups including at least two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, at a position closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. Among the plurality of lens groups, a final lens group closest to the reduction side has a positive refractive power, and remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. The zoom lens satisfies predetermined conditional expressions (1) and (2) about the focal lengths of the movable lens groups.

The second optical system forms an image on an image display surface as an intermediate image, and the first optical system forms the intermediate image on a magnified-side conjugate plane. A height of a principal ray of light having a maximum angle of view becomes maximum on a lens surface of the whole system on the most magnified side, among heights of principal rays of light having a maximum angle of view on respective lens surfaces. The imaging optical system satisfies predetermined conditional expressions.

  • Patent number: 11506958
    Abstract: A first holding barrel, a first mirror bending a first optical axis of the first holding barrel at 90°, a second holding barrel, a second mirror bending a second optical axis of the second holding barrel at 90°, and a third holding barrel are disposed on an optical axis from a screen side to an image forming panel. A first connection member connects the first holding barrel including the first mirror to the second holding barrel to be rotationally movable in increments of 90°. A second connection member connects the second holding barrel and the second mirror to the third holding barrel to be rotationally movable in increments of 90°. An orientation of a display image of the image forming panel is changed based on rotational movement states of an optical axis of a first sensor and an optical axis of a second sensor to make an orientation of a projection image on the screen match an original image.
