PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide such a virtual image that a distance from a user is changed by a video. SOLUTION: The virtual image is provided with a shape suitable to the video. When a video is broadcasted as a movie and a drama having an aspect ratio of 16:9 by a high-definition television broadcast, a large virtual image is formed in a position far away from a user, for example, by about 15m in the display device 4. When a video is broadcasted as a television signal having an aspect ratio of 4:3 by an NTSC system, a middle-sized virtual image is formed in a position comparatively close to the user, for example, by about 3m in the display device 4. Whether the video is broadcasted by the high-definition television broadcast or the NTSC system is determined, for example, based on the synchronization signal of the television signal.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize proper image quality by suppressing an alignment defect and alignment unevenness caused by the structure of grooves between pixels, when the alignment of a vertical alignment liquid crystal is controlled by an oblique vapor deposition alignment film. SOLUTION: A vertical vapor deposition film 43A is vapor deposited on the entire upper surface of reflection pixel electrodes 42 and the entire bottom surface of grooves between pixels and the oblique vapor deposition alignment film 43B is vapor deposited from the direction oblique to the substrate surface of a pixel electrode substrate 40 on the entire upper surface of the reflective pixel electrodes 42 and in a region of a part of the grooves 50 in between adjacent pixels via the vertical vapor deposition film 43A. The liquid crystal is aligned in the vertical direction by the vertical vapor deposition film 43A, in a region where the oblique vapor deposition alignment film 43B is not formed in the grooves between pixels. Thereby, the alignment defect and alignment unevenness caused by the structure of the grooves between pixels can be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a battery effect to be a cause of asymmetry of a liquid crystal response, to dispense with offset voltage to be applied to driving voltage and to secure high reliability even when long term driving is performed, in a reflection type liquid crystal display element. SOLUTION: A coating layer 43 consisting of a conductive thin film of the same material as a transparent electrode is formed on the surface side opposed to the transparent electrode of a pixel electrode 42A. Thereby, the battery effect between electrodes opposed to each other is extinguished, asymmetry of the liquid crystal response is canceled and offset voltage conventionally needed is not needed. As a result, long term reliability when the reflection type liquid crystal display element is driven can be enhanced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reflection type liquid crystal display element operable at a high speed with high response in a vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device where the transmit tance of liquid crystal is saturable at a low voltage despite the thickness of the liquid crystal layer and that can be manufactured by an ordinary voltage withstanding process even in the case of a small pixel size and to provide a display device, a projection optical system and a projection display system where a sufficiently low black level can be maintained even for an optical system with high luminance and a small F number and high contrast can be realized. SOLUTION: In the reflection type liquid crystal display device 23 of this invention, the transmittance of liquid crystal becomes easily saturable at a voltage of up to 5 to 6 V by regulating the Δn value of a homeotropic liquid crystal material to as large as 0.1 or larger despite the thickenss, of a homeotropic liquid crystal layer, of as small as 2 μm or smaller, thereby permitting drive at a practically low voltage and significantly improving transmittance itself. Further, the black level considered to be proportional to a square of the thickness of the crystal layer is suppressed low, and a high contrast and high luminance by a smaller F number can also be realized even when the F number of the optical system is as small as three or below.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a liquid crystal display element made to have narrower cell gap by controlling the cell gap of a liquid crystal display element cell so as to make the gap uniform. SOLUTION: A liquid crystal panel filled with a vertical liquid crystal is sandwiched by a buffer material 52 and a buffer material 53 and is heated up to 40 deg.C. Nitrile rubber of 1 to 10 mm in thickness, 50 to 70 in JIS hardness and 130 deg.C in heat resistance temperature is used as the buffer material 52 and the buffer material 53. The liquid crystal panel is gradually pressurized dividedly in three stages by a cylinder 55 until a final pressure of 3.0 kg/m2 is attained. The liquid crystal panel is pressurized and held for several minutes at the point of the time the final pressure is attained. The excess liquid crystals discharged from an injection port of the liquid crystal panel by pressurization are wiped away and an end-sealing material is applied to the injection port. The end-sealing material is irradiated with UV rays, the end-sealing material is then cured and its temperature is lowered down to ordinary temperature.

In the display device 7, a video displayed on a display panel 14 is enlarged by a lens 13 so as to form the virtual image, and the virtual images observed with the user's left and right eyes are arranged at the same position spatially.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image in a form suitable for video. SOLUTION: When a video is a motion picture, a drama, etc., of a high-vision broadcast with a 16:9 aspect ratio, a large virtual image is formed on the display device 4 at a position which is, for example, approximately 15m far away from a user. When the video is a television signal of the NTSC system with a 4:3 aspect ratio, a virtual image of intermediate size is formed on the display device 4 at a relatively close position on, for example, approximately 3m. It is decided whether the video is one of the high-vision broadcast or NTSC system based on, for example, the synchronizing signal of the television signal.
