  • Publication number: 20230418181
    Abstract: A toner container includes a container body, an opening, a cover, a toner discharge port, a shutter, a cylindrical structure, protrusions, and an identifier. The shutter is attached to the cover and includes a main shutter covering the toner discharge port. The main shutter moves between a closed position to close the toner discharge port and an open position to open the toner discharge port. The protrusions are on both sides of the cover and protrude in a direction orthogonal to a toner container mounting direction. The identifier is on the cover to indicate a toner color. The cylindrical structure's leading end is downstream of leading ends of the protrusions in the mounting direction. The main shutter's leading end is downstream of the protrusions' leading ends in the mounting direction when the main shutter is in the closed position. The protrusions are downstream of the identifier in the mounting direction.

  • Patent number: 11768370
    Abstract: A projector includes an image forming unit configured to emit image light that forms an image and an imaging optical system configured to form an image by reflecting the image light. S magnification power at a point of the imaging optical system where the image light is incident and optical-path length between the image forming unit and the imaging optical system is short is made higher than a magnification power at a point of the imaging optical system where the image light is incident and the optical-path length between the image forming unit and the imaging optical system is long.

  • Patent number: 11635618
    Abstract: A display system includes an optical element through which light diverges and an imaging optical system configured to form an image by projecting diverging light diverging through the optical element. In the display system, the image formed by the imaging optical system is visually recognized by a viewer, and a condition in an equation tan 0?(T×B)/(S×O) is satisfied, where ? denotes a divergence angle of the optical element, T denotes distance between the image forming optical system and the formed image, B denotes a range of an eye box that is an area through which the formed image can visually be recognized, S denotes distance between the formed image and a viewpoint of the viewer of the formed image, and O denotes distance between the optical element and the image forming optical system. In the above equation, each distance indicates length of an optical path that passes through a center of an image formed by the light when an object is observed from a reference eyepoint.

  • Patent number: 11061227
    Abstract: A display device includes an image forming unit to form an image and project the image on a transmissive reflector to display a virtual image, an optical element to direct light of the image to the transmissive reflector, a wavelength selective mirror disposed between the image forming unit and the optical element and to separate infrared light from a light beam, and a shielding part to shield or attenuate infrared light. The optical element condenses external light travelling along an optical path opposite to an optical path of the light diffused. The wavelength selective mirror separates infrared light included in the external light condensed by the optical element, and the shielding part is disposed between the wavelength selective mirror and a focal point of the infrared light separated by the wavelength selective mirror. An apparatus includes the display device and the transmissive reflector.

  • Patent number: 11048081
    Abstract: A display device, a display system, and a mobile object. The display device includes an image forming unit through which image light exits, an imaging optical system having a reflection plane and configured to form an image by reflecting the image light on the reflection plane, and a housing accommodating the image forming unit and the imaging optical system. The housing has a transmissive area through which the image light reflected by the imaging optical system passes through, and an inclination of the reflection plane is changed to reduce a project area of the reflection plane. The project area is projected to outside of the housing through the transmissive area. The display system includes the display device, and a reflector configured to reflect the image light reflected by the imaging optical system. The mobile object includes the display system, and the reflector is a front windshield.

  • Patent number: 10976544
    Abstract: A display device and an apparatus. The display device includes light emitter to emit light, an image generator to generate image light using the light emitted from the light emitter, a diffusion plate configured to diffuse the image light, and a light condensing element to receive and condense the image light diffused by the diffusion plate. A component in an optical path between the light emitter and the diffusion plate is disposed at a position different from a position of a light condensing portion of external light having transmitted through the diffusion plate via the light condensing element. The apparatus includes a light emitter to emit light, an image generator to generate image light using the light emitted from the light emitter, a diffusion plate to diffuse the image light, and a concave mirror to reflect the image light diffused by the diffusion plate to a transmission reflection member.
