Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily add a secondary image to a primary image in a display system. SOLUTION: An apparatus (100) is provided with a display panel (102), wavelength converting material (126), and light source (104/128). The display panel (102) is provided with an interface (118) to receive control signals for forming one or more primary images (202) that are projected from the display panel (102). The wavelength converting material (126) absorbs light of a first wavelength and emits light of a second wavelength. The wavelength converting material (126) forms a secondary image (200) that is projected from the display panel (102) when the wavelength converting material is illuminated by the light of the first wavelength. The light source (104/128) causes the wavelength converting material (126) to be illuminated by the light of the first wavelength. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a specimen detection system of high efficiency capable of detecting satisfactorily, even when based on a weak detected light. SOLUTION: The detection system includes a capillary, sensor structure such as a sensor chamber, a luminescence concentrator, and a detector. The luminescence concentrator receives light from the sensor structure, concentrates the light to enhance brightness thereof, and is a flat optical matrix embedded with a luminescent molecule. The luminescent molecule absorbs a photon incident into the luminescence concentrator to emit a new photon. Almost all parts of the photons are guided to an end face of the luminescence concentrator, by total internal reflection. A reflecting body or the second luminescence concentrator may be provided to reorient the turn-aside light. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
In one embodiment, apparatus is provided with a display panel, a wavelength converting material, and a light source. The display panel is provided with an interface to receive control signals defining one or more primary images that are projected from the display panel. The wavelength converting material absorbs light of a first wavelength and emits light of a second wavelength. The wavelength converting material defines a secondary image that is projected from the display panel when the wavelength converting material is illuminated by the light of the first wavelength. The light source causes the wavelength converting material to be illuminated by the light of the first wavelength.
Abstract:
A detection system includes a sensor structure, a luminescence concentrator and a detector. The sensor structure indicates presence of an analyte in a sample by production of light. The luminescence concentrator receives light from the sensor structure and concentrates the light from the sensor structure to increase brightness. The detector detects brightness of light as received from the luminescence concentrator.
Abstract:
An object (206) to be imaged or detected is illuminated by a single broadband light source or multiple light sources emitting light at different wavelengths. The light is detected by a detector (200), which includes a light-detecting sensor (400) covered by a hybrid filter. The hybrid filter includes a multi-band narrowband filter (516) mounted over a patterned filter layer (508). The light strikes the narrowband filter (516), which passes light at or near the multiple wavelengths of interest while blocking light at all other wavelengths. The patterned filter layer (508) alternately passes the light at one particular wavelength while blocking light at the other wavelengths of interest. This allows the sensor (400) to determine either simultaneously or alternately the intensity of the ligth at the wavelengths of interest. Filters (902) may also be mounted over the light at the light sources to narrow the spectra of the light sources.
