PURPOSE:To form an erasing elliptic spot on a recording film, and to obtain a tracking servo-signal without using a means for beam shaping, etc. for a servo-optical system by using a slit which can change a track direction and a NA ratio of the horizontal direction to the vertical direction of the track, and a beam shaping prism. CONSTITUTION:The titled optical head is provided with a semiconductor laser 1, a collimator lens 2 for forming parallel light beam which is emitted from the semiconductor laser 1, a beam shaping prism 3 for forming a beam to a true circle, a polarization beam splitter 8 for reflecting a reflected light from a recording film to a light detecting part 9, and a slit 15 for varying a spot formed on the recording film to an ellipse. In this case, a servo-signal of tracking is obtained by forming an erasing elliptic spot on the recording film by using a numerical aperture (N.A.) converter of an objective lens, radiating a far field pattern of a reflected light of the elliptic spot which has been formed on the recording film onto two-split photosensors and taking the differential of two-split photodiodes, respectively.

PURPOSE:To protect an ITO film while coloring a solar cell almost not deteriorating the efficiency of the solar cell by forming a film reflecting light of only a narrow band of wavelength to a protective film attached onto ITO. CONSTITUTION:A film reflecting light of only a narrow band of wavelengths is provided to a protective film mounted on an ITO film (a transparent conductive film) 5. That is, since the carrier collection efficiency of a solar cell is not kept constant with respect to wavelengths and has a peak in collection efficiency, efficiency as the solar cell does not deteriorate remarkably and is kept within a practical range even when other wavelength zones are brought to the state of total reflection when the zones of efficient wavelengths of 500-600 nm are brought previously to a nonreflective state. When the peak of reflectivity to the wavelengths of the film is sharpened beforehand, efficiency is not lowered even between the wavelength zones of 500-600 nm, and the solar cell can be colored distinctly because the peak of reflectivity is steep.

PURPOSE:To improve S/N of a reproducing signal by providing a phase difference between S and P waves incident in a recording medium so as to make an elliptically polarized light incident in the recording face and bringing its transmitted light into a linearly polarized light. CONSTITUTION:The light irradiated from a semiconductor laser 1 is collimated by a collimator lens 2, reflected in a full reflection mirror 10 through a polarized beam splitter 3 and collected on a recording face of a recording medium 6 through an objective lens 5. The dielectric film comprising alternate multi-layer films is vapor-deposited on a glass in the mirror 10 and a phase difference is given to the S and P waves. Before a light is made incident in the recording face of the recording medium 6, the full reflection mirror 10 gives a phase difference to the S and P waves to convert the incident light into the elliptically polarized wave, then the polarized plane of the light transmitted through the recording face is rotated by the Faraday effect and becomes a linearly polarized light, the light is converted into light intensity change by a polarizer 7, a reproducing signal corresponding to the direction of magnetization on the recording film is obtained by a photo sensor 8 and the S/N is improved.

PURPOSE:To detect stably a signal by placing transparent ceramics in front of a signal detecting photodiode, and feeding back a voltage corresponding to the variation of a luminous amount caused by an uneven reflectivity of a medium, etc., to a transparent ceramics plate. CONSTITUTION:A laser light which has been emitted from a semiconductor laser 1 is made parallel by a collimator lens 2, converted to a circularly polarized light by a 1/4 wavelength plate 4 through a beam splitter 3, stopped down by an objective lens 5, and reflected by a medium 6. Thereafter, its reflected light is made incident on the 1/4 wavelength plate 4 again, returned to a linearly polarized light and reflected by the beam splitter 3, made incident on a transparent ceramics plate 10, stopped down by a condensing lens 7 after erasing the variation of the luminous amount due to an uneven medium by said plate, and made incident on a photodiode 8.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image display device which can change the range of a recognizable image in response to the line of sight of a wearer by adjusting a luminous flux without increasing the size of the device and which allows the wearer to recognize an image in response to the line of sight.SOLUTION: In the virtual image display device, image light PL is composed of, for example, luminous flux components PL1 to PL5 each having a diameter of 3 mm or less, and is made to enter a pupil of an eye EY to form an image comprising a virtual image. By setting a position CP, where the chief rays of the luminous flux components PL1 to PL5 constituting the image light PL intersect one another, at a retina side than the position of the pupil of the eye EY, ranges of luminous flux components reaching the retina among the luminous flux components PL1 to PL5 can be changed in response to the movement of the eye. Thereby, when the line of sight of the wearer directs to a specific direction, the image light PL can be controlled in such a manner that, in response to the change of the line of sight, only an image light component from the specific direction reaches the retina RE of the eye EY.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image display device that enables eyesight adjustment for observing external light when image light and the external light are observed in parallel and can suppress an increase in size of the virtual image display device.SOLUTION: Two pieces of image light PL formed by light emission devices 10 and virtual image formation members 20 and two pieces of external light OL transmitted through eyesight adjustment members 30 and the virtual image formation members 20 can be observed in parallel in a see-through manner. In this case, in observation of the two pieces of external light OL, the eyesight adjustment members 30 enable eyesight adjustment according to visual acuity of a wearer. Accordingly, the wearer can observe the two pieces of external light OL without wearing instruments for eyesight adjustment such as spectacle. Therefore, an increase in size of a virtual image display device 100 can be suppressed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image display device which suppresses generation of luminance spots, and a manufacturing method for the same.SOLUTION: In a second ridge line vicinity region RE2 on the side of a third reflection plane 21c among a ridge line part 21r extending between the third reflection plane 21c and a second reflection plane 21b, a mirror layer 25 has a thickness of 50 nm or more to perform impermeable reflection. Therefore, reduction of the reflectance of image light can be suppressed in the second ridge line vicinity region RE2 (namely, a peripheral part on the side of a light guide part B2 in the third reflection plane 21c), and generation of band-like luminance spots extending in the longitudinal direction is suppressed in an observed image. That is, in a virtual image display device, sufficient reflection can be secured even in a peripheral part near the boundary of the second reflection plane 21b in the third reflection plane 21c, and thus a bright image having few luminance spots can be displayed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image display device that suppresses an occurrence of luminance unevenness and enhances utilization efficiency of illuminating light.SOLUTION: In a virtual image display device of one embodiment, an optical directivity changing section forms a non-uniform distribution with respect to directivity of image light GL emitted from an image display device. Accordingly, even when angles of light beams emitted from the image display device and effectively taken into eyes EY of an observer are greatly different from one another depending upon a position of the image display device, the image light GL that has the directivity in response to angular characteristics of such taking-in of the light beams can be formed, an occurrence of luminance unevenness can be suppressed and utilization efficiency of illuminating light can be enhanced.
