    摘要: Methods, systems and devices associated with an electronic candle are disclosed. One example includes an electronic candle includes an outer shell including a through-hole, a light-emitting assembly including a flame sheet configured to protrude through the through-hole, an inner shell positioned within the outer shell, and a self-locking device positioned within a cavity of the inner shell. The self-locking device is configured to operate in (1) a locked state when a switch locks a spring in a compressed state and (2) an unlocked state when the switch releases the spring to be in a relaxed state. The electronic candle also includes a bottom case such that the bottom case is enclosed within the outer shell when the self-locking device is in the locked state and the bottom case is exposed to an external environment beneath the outer shell when the self-locking device is in the unlocked state.

    摘要: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a video display device that projects and displays video including starry sky images onto a target surface, that can reproduce the twinkling of stars and that can more faithfully reproduce an actual starry sky. Provided are a light source, a projection lens, a starry-sky projection negative plate, a twinkling negative plate with uneven light-transmitting properties, a starry-sky-end support unit that supports the starry-sky projection negative plate in a location onto which light from the light source is radiated, a twinkling-end support unit that supports the twinkling negative plate between the starry-sky projection negative plate and the projection lens or between the light source and the starry-sky projection negative plate, and an actuation mechanism that rotationally actuates, by power from an actuator, the starry-sky projection negative plate in a state of being supported by the starry-sky-end support unit and the twinkling negative plate in a state of being supported by the twinkling-end support unit. Light that has penetrated the starry-sky projection negative plate and the twinkling negative plate is radiated onto the target surface via the projection lens.
