PROJECTOR AND CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295801 titled 'PROJECTOR AND CONTROL APPARATUS

The patent application describes a projector with a vibration suppressor that adjusts the optical path of image light to counteract vibrations affecting the projected image.

  • Optical path shifter shifts the optical path of image light with respect to a reference position.
  • Vibration detection sensor detects vibrations that impact the projected image.
  • Vibration suppressor, located at the side of the optical path shifter, includes an optical member that swings based on vibration detection to adjust the optical path of the image light.
  • The suppressor changes the optical path in a direction opposite to the vibration phase.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in projectors for presentations, home theaters, and large-scale displays. - It can also be applied in virtual reality systems to enhance image stability during movement.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of image distortion or blurring caused by vibrations in the projector's environment. - Improves image quality and stability for a better viewing experience.

Benefits: - Enhanced image quality and stability. - Improved viewing experience for users. - Increased versatility and reliability of projectors in various settings.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Image Stabilization Technology for Projectors" This technology can be marketed to companies producing projectors for commercial, entertainment, and educational purposes. It can also be integrated into high-end projector models for professional use.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on image stabilization systems in projectors, vibration detection sensors, and optical path adjustment mechanisms.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring new materials and technologies to enhance the effectiveness of vibration suppressors in projectors. Studies on the impact of vibrations on image quality and ways to mitigate them could also be ongoing.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the vibration suppressor in this projector technology differ from traditional image stabilization methods? 2. What are the potential limitations of using vibration detection sensors in projectors, and how can they be overcome?


Original Abstract Submitted

a projector includes an optical path shifter that shifts the optical path of image light with respect to a reference position where the image light is projected, a vibration detection sensor that detects vibration that affects the position where the image light is projected, and a vibration suppressor that is disposed at either the side of the optical path shifter on which the image light is incident or via which the image light exits and includes an optical member through which the image light passes, and the vibration suppressor swings the optical member based on the result of detection performed by the vibration detection sensor to change the optical path of the image light having entered the optical member in a direction in which the reverse phase of the phase of the vibration is produced.
