Abstract

A table type display device, in which a high resolution display with an unremarkable connection is realized at the time of large screen display by using a screen with a composition having few bending is described. In a table type display device comprising plural M of projectors 1 L, 1 R for projecting luminous flux to form an image, plural N of reflection mirrors 2 L, 2 R for bending optical paths of luminous fluxes projected from respective plural M of projectors 1 L, 1 R, screen 3 of horizontal installation type for projecting luminous fluxes for which optical path is bent, by the plurality N of reflection mirrors 2 L, 2 R onto the predetermined region, respectively, the screen comprises a transparent base member 7 for reducing flexure of the screen, optical sheet 9 substantially for making luminous fluxes projected respectively from the plural M of projectors 1 L, 1 R uniform, and a diffusing screen for imaging the image.

Claims (46)

1. A table type display device comprising:

a plurality of projectors for projecting light to form an image;

a plurality of reflection mirrors for reflecting the light projected from the plurality of projectors; and

a horizontally installed screen onto which the light reflected by the plurality of reflection mirrors is projected, the plurality of reflecting mirrors projecting the light onto respective predetermined regions of the screen;

wherein the screen comprises a transparent base member for reducing flexure of the screen, and a diffusing screen for imaging the image; and

wherein the predetermined regions comprise at least one overlapping portion at which at least two predetermined regions overlap.

2. The table type display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transparent base member comprises a laminated glass.

3. The table type display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the diffusing screen comprises a diffused layer installed in the laminated glass.

4. The table type display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transparent base member comprises a thermal reinforced glass.

5. The table type display device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the diffusing screen comprises a diffused layer installed in the thermal reinforced glass.

6. The table type display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transparent base member comprises an acrylic plate.

7. The table type display device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the diffusing screen comprises a diffused layer installed in the acrylic plate.

8. A table type display device comprising:

a plurality of projectors for projecting light to form an image;

a plurality of reflection mirrors for reflecting the light projected from the plurality of projectors; and

a horizontally installed screen onto which the light reflected by the plurality of reflection mirrors is projected, the plurality of reflecting mirrors projecting the light onto respective predetermined regions of the screen;

wherein the screen comprises:

a transparent base member for reducing flexure of the screen;

an optical sheet for making the light passing therethrough substantially uniform; and

a diffusing screen for imaging the image; and

wherein the predetermined regions comprise at least one overlapping portion at which at least two predetermined regions overlap.

9. The table type display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the optical sheet comprises a Fresnel lens.

10. The table type display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the optical sheet comprises a lenticular sheet.

11. The table type display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the optical sheet comprises:

a first lenticular sheet comprising lenses arranged in a first direction in two dimensional directions of a display surface of the diffusing screen; and

a second lenticular sheet comprising lenses arranged in a second direction of the two dimensional directions of the display surface.

12. The table type display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the optical sheet comprises a beads screen.

13. The table type display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the optical sheet comprises a holography screen.

14. The table type display device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the optical sheet is sealed between the transparent base member, the diffusing screen and a screen frame.

15. A table type display device comprising:

a plurality of projectors for projecting light to form an image;

a plurality of reflection mirrors for reflecting the light projected from the plurality of projectors; and

a horizontally installed screen onto which the light reflected by the plurality of reflection mirrors is projected, the plurality of reflecting mirrors projecting the light onto respective predetermined regions of the screen;

wherein the screen comprises:

a transparent base member for reducing flexure of the screen;

an optical sheet for making the light passing therethrough substantially uniform;

a diffusing screen for imaging the image;

a transparent spread sheet for imaging the image; and a

cover plate for guarding the spread sheet; and

wherein the predetermined regions comprise at least one overlapping portion at which at least two predetermined regions overlap.

16. The table type display device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the cover plate comprises a laminated glass.

17. The table type display device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the cover plate comprises a thermal reinforced glass.

18. The table type display device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the cover plate comprises an acrylic plate.

19. The table type display device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a predetermined amount of tension is applied on the optical sheet and the diffusing screen.

20. The table type display device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the cover plate is arranged on the top of the table type display device, and is cemented by a sealing material to a screen frame for holding other components of the table type display device which are arranged below the cover glass.

21. The table type display device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the cover plate is independently removable from the table type display device.
