摘要:
A rod-shaped light guide which does not cause unevenness in color at the portion near an incident face is produced by injection-molding transparent resin such as acryl and its surfaces include a light-emitting surface, a bottom face, left and right sides and end faces. One end face opposes a light emitting unit, and light scattering patterns for scattering light incident from the end face are formed on the bottom face. The light scattering patterns are different in shape between a portion near the end face as the incident face and a portion away from the end face. The light scattering patterns formed at the portion near the incident face are composed of a large number of fine hemispherical concaves, whereas the light scattering patterns at the portion away from the incident face are composed of triangular grooves or half cylindrical grooves, and the axial direction of these triangular grooves or half cylindrical grooves coincides with the width direction (sub-scanning direction) of the bottom face on which the patterns are formed.

摘要:
A line-illuminating device comprises a white casing, a bar-shaped light guide housed within the casing, and light-emitting units provided on opposite ends of the bar-shaped light guide. The light-emitting unit has a substrate forming a circuit on which a lead wire for power supply is installed. Formed on a surface of the substrate facing the bar-shaped light guide is a window for coupling in which a green-color light-emitting diode and a blue-color light-emitting diode are installed. Likewise, the light-emitting unit has a substrate on which a lead wire for power supply is installed. Formed on a surface of the substrate facing the bar-shaped light guide is a window for coupling in which two red-color light-emitting diodes are installed.
摘要:
A bar-shaped light guide is provided to allow its emitting surface to be exposed from a white casing and is provided with a pattern for scattering and reflecting the light on a bottom surface opposite to the emitting surface. This pattern is formed by a white paint or minute irregularities. Further, an end face of the bar-shaped light guide opposite to the incident side is made cube-corner shaped. In other words, the end face is made chevroned by mirror-finished flat surfaces. These flat surfaces are tilted at such an angle that an incident angle θ of the rays of light traveling through the bar-shaped light guide parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bar-shaped light guide is smaller than a critical angle.

A light guide capable of reducing the degrading of the read image, even when the document face is raised, by expanding the distribution of light intensities in the longitudinal direction in the position of the irradiated item (document position), and a line illuminator into which the light guide is incorporated. The light guide emits lights incident on an end face from an emitting face extending longitudinally, while having the lights reflected by an internal face of the guide. The sectional shape of the internal face in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is provided with first and second oval arc curved faces, first and second emitting faces, and a light scattering part formed on the focal position (or a position near the focus) of the oval on the longer axis plane of each oval. The concentrating position of lights reflected by the first curved face and the concentrating position of lights reflected by the second curved face are different from each other.

An improved illumination device shortens a redundant area of insufficient light intensity close to a longitudinal end thereof. The device includes a casing, a bar-shaped light guide housed in the casing to cause a light-emitting surface thereof to be exposed, a light-emitting unit secured to an end section of the casing, wherein light from the light-emitting unit is introduced into the bar-shaped light guide through the end face thereof and is totally reflected within the bar-shaped light guide to be emitted through the light-emitting surface, and a shielding section provided to cover an end section of the bar-shaped light guide including the redundant area at the end section of the casing close to the light-emitting unit. A notch is formed at the end section of the bar-shaped light guide on the light-emitting surface side close to the light-emitting unit, and light from the light-emitting unit is reflected on a rear surface of the shielding section through a gap between this notch and the light-emitting unit to be introduced into the bar-shaped light guide.

An in-vehicle stereoimage display apparatus includes a display device, an erecting unit magnification lens module spaced from and facing toward a display screen of the display device for forming an erecting unit magnification stereoimage of an image displayed on the display screen, a lens movement mechanism for movably supporting the erecting unit magnification lens module, and a controller for changing the position of the erecting unit magnification lens module in accordance with the travel velocity of a vehicle. In one example, the controller increases the distance between the vehicle driver's eyes and the erecting unit magnification stereoimage as the travel velocity of the vehicle increases.

A stereoimage formation apparatus includes two lens array plates, each of which includes microlenses having optical axes and peaks. The optical axes of the microlenses are parallel to one another. The optical axes of the microlenses in one of the lens array plates are aligned with the optical axes of the microlenses in the other lens array plate. The peaks of the microlenses in one of the lens array plates come in contact with or are located proximal to the peaks of the microlenses in the other lens array plate. The microlenses of each lens array plate each have a predetermined spherical aberration greater than a predetermined minimum spherical aberration.
