==IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18390715 titled 'IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE

The abstract describes an image display device that projects a mid-air image of an operation part for an apparatus, detects the approach of a detection object to the mid-air image, and outputs a signal to the apparatus based on the detection.

* First display device outputs a first image representing an operation part
* Imaging element reflects the first image and forms it in mid-air
* First sensor detects approach of a detection object to the mid-air image
* Controller outputs a signal to the apparatus based on the detection

Potential Applications:
- Interactive displays for user interfaces
- Augmented reality applications
- Virtual reality experiences

Problems Solved:
- Enhancing user interaction with displayed images
- Creating immersive visual experiences
- Improving control and feedback mechanisms for devices

Benefits:
- Engaging user experience
- Enhanced visualization of operations
- Improved control and feedback systems

Commercial Applications:
"Mid-air Image Display Device for Interactive User Interfaces and Immersive Experiences"

Frequently Updated Research:
- Ongoing developments in holographic display technology
- Advancements in sensor technology for interactive displays

Questions about Mid-air Image Display Devices:
1. How does the imaging element create a mid-air image?
2. What are the potential limitations of detecting objects approaching the mid-air image?

1. How does the imaging element create a mid-air image?
The imaging element uses reflection to form the first image in mid-air, creating a visually striking display for users.

2. What are the potential limitations of detecting objects approaching the mid-air image?
The first sensor may have limitations in detecting small or fast-moving objects approaching the mid-air image, which could impact the device's responsiveness and accuracy.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image display device includes: a first display device configured to output a first image representing an operation part for an apparatus; an imaging element configured to reflect the first image and to form the first image in mid-air as a mid-air image; a first sensor configured to detect an approach of a detection object to the mid-air image and to output a first signal; and a controller configured to output a second signal to the apparatus based on the first signal.
