    摘要: A light source apparatus and the like capable of improving the manufacturing yield are provided. The light source apparatus includes a light source, a collimator which is arranged to face the light source and includes a reflection portion for adjusting a focal length of light incident from the light source to the collimator, and a light guide arranged on an emission side of the collimator. The reflection portion of the collimator includes a normal focus area in which the light emitted from the light source and incident to the collimator is converted into substantially parallel light, a long focus area in which the light incident to the collimator is converted into slightly divergent light in comparison with the substantially parallel light, and a short focus area in which the light incident to the collimator is converted into slightly convergent light in comparison with the substantially parallel light.

    摘要: An information display apparatus is provided. The information display apparatus includes: a display configured to display video information of a virtual image; and a virtual image optical system configured to display a virtual image at a front of conveyance by reflecting light emitted from the display. The system includes a concave mirror and an optical element. The optical element is arranged between the display and the concave mirror, and is configured to correct distortion of the virtual image obtained in accordance with a viewpoint position of a driver. The information display apparatus further includes means for forming the virtual image generated by reflecting a video light flux by means of front and back surfaces of the windshield in front of a position of a driver's line of sight in a region where a virtual image distance exceeds a driver's determination limit range or a region around the determination limit range.

    摘要: A head-up display comprises an image display device, a virtual image optical system, a housing with a housing opening, an antiglare plate covering the housing opening, a camera for capturing an image of a face area including an eye of a driver, a viewpoint detection device for detecting a viewpoint of the driver based on the image captured by the camera, and a main controller. The camera is installed on a position outside the housing and withdrawn from an optical path of the image light emitted through the housing opening, as well as in an orientation for capturing an image of an area where a face including the eye of the driver is reflected on the antiglare plate. The main controller controls to adjust an emission direction of the image light based on a viewpoint position of the driver detected by the viewpoint detection device.

    摘要: Provided is a light source device where the number of optical components is reduced without lowering an efficiency for light utilization. The light source device includes an excitation light source which generates blue laser light as excitation light, a phosphor wheel including a phosphor which is excited by the excitation light from the excitation light source to generate yellow fluorescent light, and a mirror which guides the excitation light from the excitation light source to the phosphor wheel and transmits the fluorescent light from the phosphor wheel, wherein the mirror includes a first region which reflects the excitation light and transmits the fluorescent light and a second region which transmits the fluorescent light and diffused excitation light which is diffused and reflected in the phosphor. The yellow fluorescent light and the diffused excitation light passing through the mirror are mixed to generate white light.

    摘要: A vehicle lamp includes a phosphor which receives laser light (excitation light) emitted from a semiconductor light-emitting element to emit visible light, a reflector which reflects the visible light (illumination light) emitted from the phosphor forward, and an absorbing member which absorbs excitation light regularly reflected by a surface of the phosphor. A metal plate on which the phosphor is disposed to be inclined to cause the excitation light regularly reflected by the surface of the phosphor to be incident on the absorbing member. An upper end portion of the reflector is disposed at a position lower than a vertical position of the phosphor to prevent the regularly reflected excitation light from being incident on the upper end portion.
