摘要： In an optical system phase device such as .lambda./2 plate or a .lambda./4 plate is used to convert S polarization to P polarization and vice versa. In the projection display, a white light emitted from a light source is separated by a color separation optical system, including dichroic mirrors or a dichroic prism, into three primary colors which are modulated by optical modulation elements. Then, the modulated lights are synthesized by a color synthesis optical system and projected by a projection element onto a screen. When appropriate plates are inserted appropriately in the optical system of the projection display, the conversion between S and P polarization occurs and an optical bandwidth becomes narrow, and color purity can be improved. A thick transparent plate is preferably adhered to the optical modulation element. A light absorption film is applied to an ineffective plane of the transparent plate. The phase device is preferably inserted between an optical modulation element and a transparent plate or the like to improve contrast. The invention can be applied to liquid crystal panels such as liquid crystal/resin display panels, light beam writing type display panel or micro mirror display panel. Preferably, the phase device is set to be rotatable so as to adjust contrast appropriately.

摘要： A light valve includes a light valve layer for forming an optical image as variations in its ability to scatter light, and two substrates between which the light valve layer is sandwiched and at least one of which is transparent. The light valve satisfies the following condition: ##EQU1## where t denotes a central thickness of the at least one of the substrates, n denotes a refractive index of the at least one of the substrates and d denotes a maximum diameter of an effective display area of the light valve layer. Alternatively, a transparent plate can be optically coupled to one of the substrates by a transparent body. In this case, the same condition is satisfied except that the thickness refers to a central thickness from a face of the transparent plate remote from the transparent body to the light valve layer.

摘要： A viewfinder suited for use in a video camera, wherein rays of light emitted at a large solid angle from a minute light emitting area of a light emitting element are converted by a condenser lens into a bundle of generally parallel rays of light having a narrow directionality before they enter a liquid crystal display. The liquid crystal display modulates the rays of light emerging from the condenser lens according to a video signal to effect an image display. The displayed image is magnified by a magnifying lens. The liquid crystal display is of a type wherein an optical image is formed as a function of a change in state of light scattering and may be a polymer dispersed liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal panel utilizing a dynamic scattering mode, a ferro-electric liquid crystal panel using a scattering mode or a display panel utilizing PLZT.

摘要： A light valve projection apparatus includes a light source, a light valve used for forming optical images in response to a change in light scattering conditions in the light valve of light irradiated from the light source, a projection lens for projecting the optical images on a screen, and a shield for shielding the optical images formed at or near a pupil of the projection lens. If the brightness of light exiting from the light valve, which is in a light scattering state, in a direction tilted by .theta. degrees from a normal dissection of the light valve is assumed to be half as bright as the light outgoing in the normal direction at .theta..sub.1/2, .theta..sub.1/2 of the light valve is less than 23.degree.. The light valve may be a polymer dispersion liquid crystal display panel. When the polymer dispersion liquid crystal display panel is in a transparent state, light transmitted through the liquid crystal display panel is shielded by the shield, thus showing a black display on a screen. When the polymer dispersion liquid crystal display panel is in a light scattering state, light is scattered by the panel so that images formed in the panel are enlarged and projected by way of the projection lens onto the screen, thereby showing a bright white display.

摘要： A liquid crystal projection device includes a light source, a polymer dispersed liquid crystal panel for forming an optical image as a function of changes in the light scattering condition, a polarizing plate disposed on at lest one of the incident and exit sides of the liquid crystal panel with respect to the direction of travel of the light, and a projection lens for projecting the optical image onto a polarizing screen. The polarizing plate is removably and rotatably supported so that, by rotating the polarizing plate, the direction of the axis of polarization of the polarizing plate can be substantially aligned with the direction of the axis of the polarizing screen. The polarizing screen is utilized when the polarizing plate is mounted, but a non-polarizing screen may be utilized when the polarizing plate is not used, i.e., removed. Where the polarizing plates is used on both of the incident and exit sides of the panel, the direction of the axis of polarization of the polarizing plate on the incident side is to be substantially aligned with that of the polarizing plate on the exit side.

摘要： Pixel electrodes of a liquid crystal panel are made of a transparent conductive material, while a reflection electrode is formed on a counter substrate. A liquid crystal layer made of liquid crystal/resin composite is interposed between the pixel electrodes and the reflection electrode. Incident light is scattered in the liquid crystal layer or transmits the liquid crystal layer and is reflected by the reflection electrode according to the applied voltage to modulate the light. The pixel electrodes consist for example of two layers of a dielectric layer of thickness of .lambda./4 and a transparent conductive layer of thickness of .lambda./2. A grating is formed on the reflection electrode at the interface with the liquid crystal. When a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer, the refractive index thereof changes to be equal to that of the grating, and the incident light propagates straightly. Otherwise the incident light is diffracted. The liquid crystal panel is used as a light bulb for a projection type television.

摘要： Pixel electrodes and thin film transistors are arranged in a matrix in a display device, while polymer dispersion liquid crystals are interposed between an opposite electrode and the pixel electrodes on an electrode substrate. A signal is written into each pixel electrode by a pair of drive ICs for outputting signals in positive and negative polarities respectively with respect to an electrical potential at the opposite electrode. Two transistors are provided at each pixel electrode or an analog switch is provided at a signal output terminal of each drive IC so that signals of positive and negative polarities are not simultaneously written into an identical pixel electrode. When no voltage is applied to the pixel electrode, the incident light is reflected so as to be dispersed by the liquid crystal, and when a voltage is applied to the pixel electrode, the state of the liquid crystal is made light-permeable. The display device is used as a display panel to construct a viewfinder having a low electrical power consumption. The display device is also used as a light valve to construct a projection type television capable of displaying a magnified video picture on a screen with a high luminance.
