Abstract

A synthetic image display device includes: a beam projector configured to project a first image; a screen on which the first image projected from the beam projector is formed; and a transparent display panel disposed so as to face the screen and configured to display a second image to be combined and viewed with the first image formed on the screen, the transparent display panel being formed with a pinhole for penetration of light in each pixel so that the first image penetrates and is viewed through the transparent display panel.

Claims (13)

1. A synthetic image display device comprising:

a beam projector configured to project a first image;

a screen on which the first image projected from the beam projector is formed; and

a transparent display panel disposed so as to face the screen and configured to display a second image to be combined and viewed with the first image formed on the screen, the transparent display panel being formed with a pinhole for penetration of light in each pixel so that the first image penetrates and is viewed through the transparent display panel,

wherein the transparent display panel is inwardly concavely curved at a center thereof when viewed by a viewer, and the screen is located closer to the viewer than the transparent display panel.

2. The synthetic image display device according to claim 1 , wherein one of the screen and the transparent display panel is formed in a curved shape in order to increase a spatial sense by a change in distance between the screen and the transparent display panel.

3. The synthetic image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the screen is configured with a translucent body so that a viewer views the second image displayed on the transparent display panel through the screen together with the first image when the screen is located closer to the eyes of the viewer than the transparent display panel.

4. The synthetic image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the screen is a switching panel, a transmittance of which is electrically changeable.

5. The synthetic image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the screen has a curved shape, and

wherein the beam projector comprises a curvature correction lens configured to deform the first image so as to be curved in a direction opposite a direction in which the screen is curved before projecting the first image in order to prevent the first image from being distorted by the curved shape of the screen.

6. The synthetic image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent display panel comprises a transmissive diffusion sheet formed with a diffusion pattern in a portion thereof corresponding to the pinhole so that light passing through the pinhole is diffused to and penetrates a portion in which the pinhole is not formed.

7. The synthetic image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the screen is smaller than the transparent display panel so that a synthetic image is viewed only on a portion of the transparent display panel,

wherein the synthetic image is defined by a combination of the first image formed on the screen and the second image displayed on the transparent display panel.
