摘要:
Red incident light is reflected on a mirror (19) and linearly polarized by a polarizer (26R). Linearly polarized incident light enters a transmissive liquid crystal device (11R), in which oblique incident light is changed into elliptically polarized light. A retardation compensator (27R) between the liquid crystal device (11R) and an analyzer (28R) has an inorganic form birefringence layer. The retardation compensator (27R) yields birefringence effect to change elliptical polarized light into linearly polarized light. Linearly polarized light from the retardation compensator (27R) can pass the analyzer (28R) without decreasing intensity, and enters a color recombining prism (24). The liquid crystal device (11R) may have the inorganic form birefringence layer. Retardation in green and blue light is also compensated in the same manner. Red, green and blue image light, mixed in the color recombining prism (24), is projected onto a screen 3 by a projection lens system (25).

A retardation compensation element (56) is composed of a C-plate (86) and an O-plate (85). The O-plate (85) is a biaxial birefringent medium made of an obliquely deposited organic material, and has a fast axis (L6) parallel to the orthographic projection of a deposition direction (96) onto the surface of the O-plate (85). Between a liquid crystal display device (51) and an analyzer (68), the O-plate (85) is arranged such that the fast axis (L6) and a tilt direction (L8) of liquid crystal molecules (75) parallel to each other, and that the deposition direction (96) and the tilt direction (L8) face the opposite direction. The C-plate (86) is disposed above the O-plate (85) between the liquid crystal display device (51) and the analyzer (68).
摘要:
A transparent base plate supports a first compensating layer, which is adapted to compensate for a phase difference due to liquid crystal molecules having undergone normal orientation in a liquid crystal layer of a TN liquid crystal display device, and second compensating layers, which are adapted to compensate for the phase difference due to the liquid crystal molecules having undergone hybrid orientation in the liquid crystal layer. Each of the second compensating layers is constituted of one of oblique incidence vacuum deposited films, which are formed on opposite surfaces of the base plate with oblique incidence vacuum evaporation of an inorganic material. An azimuthal angle and/or a polar angle of a direction of vacuum evaporation with respect to a plane of vacuum evaporation is set to be different between the second compensating layers.

A theft prevention apparatus of a personal watercraft equipped with a main switch for opening/closing a main power-supply circuit including a starting circuit of an engine is provided. The apparatus inhibits the engine from starting when it detects the main switch being in an ON-state, no existence of a connection between an operating device of the main switch and the main switch, and a stopping of the engine. The apparatus prevents the engine from starting by inhibiting at least one of the starting circuits of the engine, an ignition circuit of the engine, and a fuel injection circuit of the engine from closing the circuit(s).

The light diffusing plate includes an unrecognizable structure having an optical refractive power, passing areas through which a collimated light incident from a side of the unrecognizable structure passes and a non-passing area other than the passing areas, which has relatively low light transmissivity compared with the passing areas, wherein both materials of the passing areas and non-passing area are applied simultaneously. The display apparatus includes this light diffusing plate, a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight unit. The image display apparatus includes an image display device having a matrix structure and a light diffusing plate including an unrecognizable structure which has an optical refractive power and is provided on a viewing side of a display screen of the image display device. The light diffusing plate has an excellent light diffusing efficiency, and can preferably reduce a contrast drop to be caused by a surface reflection. The display apparatus for the liquid crystal display device can keep a satisfactory contrast ratio over a wide viewing angle and is preferably applicable to a medical use. The image display apparatus can eliminate pixelization or jaggy and obtain a smooth, natural displayed image.

A deck floor for a personal watercraft establishes the foot placement based on the body build of the driver without the soles of the feet being bent back. The deck floor includes: a pair of floor faces with a floor face positioned on each side of a seat, a pair of step faces formed ahead of the floor faces, and a pair of intermediate step faces formed between the floor faces and the step faces. Each floor face includes a first plane portion which is substantially horizontal and is continuous to the intermediate step face, and the step face includes a second plane portion which also is continuous to the intermediate step face and is inclined forwardly and upwardly. The intermediate step face is a plane which is inclined at a middle inclined angle between an inclined angle of the first plane portion and an inclined angle of the second plane portion.
摘要:
An image-forming apparatus for exposing a photosensitive material with image light. An optical modulation device is provided such that the intensity of image light made incident from one side of an optical modulator is modulated in correspondence with the intensity of the image light made incident from the other side of the optical modulator as well as a drive voltage to be applied, and the image light made incident from one side is made emergent from the optical modulator. Since the modulation of the intensity of the image light is effected by the optical modulator, the amount of exposure supplied to a printing paper is controlled in correspondence with the density distribution of the image on a negative film, and an image having appropriate contrast can be reproduced by effective use of the latitude of the printing paper.
