摘要:
A reflective-type display device having a light modulating layer, including a host dispersed with light scatterers, which is held between two transparent electrodes; and a light absorbing layer disposed in back of the light modulating layer. The size of each light scatterer or the nearest distance between the adjacent light scatterers is nearly equivalent to the wavelength of incident light at least in two-dimensional directions. The refractive index ratio relative to incident light between the light scatterers and host is changed from 1 to 1.5 or more depending on the magnitude of a voltage applied across the electrodes.

There is provided a compact and thin optical disk unit as a memory unit suitable for a portable computer such as a book type computer and a portable recording/reproducing apparatus. In the optical disk unit, the diameter of an objective lens is limited and a beam shaping prism, a beam splitter, a mirror and a 1/4 wavelength plate are formed into a unitary structure to make easy the optical axis adjustment of an optical head and ensure highly accurate assembling.

The invention relates to an optical memory in which an optical recording medium is built in a case, and also to a memory apparatus. Recording, reproducing and erasing operations are performed by irradiating light via a transparent portion of the case onto the built-in optical recording medium. The optical recording medium built in the case has face vibrations with respect to the case, because it is moved within the case. The present invention is characterized by employing such a construction for optically mitigating irregular fluctuation in reflectivity caused by this face vibration. In the optical memory of the present invention, the reflectivity fluctuation caused by an interference effect made between reflection light from the case and air, and also reflection light from the optical recording medium and air due to the relative deviation in the face vibrations, may be reduced by antireflection films provided in the case and the optical recording medium. In a memory apparatus of the present invention, the abovedescribed memory is mounted, the fluctuation in the reflectivity is monitored and laser power is varied in order to further mitigate the reflection vibrations.

An optical disk apparatus includes a recording method in which at least one of the scanning position, the irradiation time, the irradiation start point and the irradiation power of a light beam is arbitrarily changed, and a method and apparatus in which information is represented by a plurality of recording marks without being limited to two kinds of recording and erasion. In order to prevent overlapping recording/erasion, a recording clock generating unit delays a reference clock signal to generate a recording clock signal and a recording control unit transfers user data to an optical head in synchronism with the recording clock signal so that it is recorded on an optical disk. Also, the amount of delay is recorded to enable sure reading or reproduction. At the time of reading, a servo mark detection signal is divided to generate a clock signal having a variable frequency, thereby realizing an optical disk for which high-precision recording/reproduction is possible.

The information processor uses a portable memory formed on a transparent substrate which is able to be overwritten by laser power modulation system. The memory includes a disk type recording medium rotatably incorporated within a thin case, and carries out write/read/erase by means of a first magnetic field application device, a second magnetic field application device, and an optical head radiating light through the case which has at least a transparent light-incident portion. The case includes therein a rotation means for rotating the recording medium within the case, thereby enabling even further reduction in size of the information processor.
摘要:
An optical arrangement for an optical scanning apparatus which can record a plurality of high precision information concurrently, provides for a laser beam emitted from a single light source to be polarized in two polarization directions, and each of the two polarized beams is further imparted with different information according to its polarization direction. Then, the two polarized beams are used for scanning over a photosensitive member to concurrently record respective information at different positions on the photosensitive member. In order to suppress induced light fluctuation depending on an incident angle of light on the beam splitter, an optical rotation means is provided in the optical system, such that a desired optical rotation control can be obtained corresponding to the incident angle on the beam splitter, so as to compensate for the fluctuation of light whereby the beam splitter can be arranged to be free of the influence of the incidence angle of the beam.
