Abstract

A apparatus includes a picture generation unit, an enlarging and display unit, and a touch control unit. The picture generation unit is configured to generate a source image. The enlarging and display unit is configured to enlarge the source image generated by the picture generation unit. In addition, the picture generation unit is further configured to generate and project a touchscreen. The touch control unit is configured to detect and respond to a touch operation performed by a user on the touchscreen.

Claims (51)

1 . A display apparatus, comprising:

a picture generation unit, comprising a light source, an imaging module, a semi-reflection and semi-transmission element, a reflective element, a display lens and a touch projection module, wherein the imaging module is a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) chip;

an enlarging and display unit; and

a touch control unit configured to control a touchscreen;

wherein the picture generation unit is configured to generate a source image;

wherein the enlarging and display unit is configured to enlarge the source image and form an enlarged virtual image;

wherein the picture generation unit is further configured to generate and project a touchscreen image outwards, the touchscreen image representing a touchscreen;

wherein the touch control unit is configured to detect and respond to a touch operation performed by a user on the touchscreen, and wherein:

the light source is configured to input a light beam to the semi-reflection and semi-transmission element;

the semi-reflection and semi-transmission element is configured to reflect the input light beam to the imaging module;

the imaging module is configured to generate the source image and the touchscreen image based on the input light beam and to output the touchscreen image and the source image to the semi-reflection and semi-transmission element, wherein a first area of the imaging module is configured to generate the source image, and a second area of the imaging module is configured to generate the touchscreen image;

the semi-reflection and semi-transmission element is configured to output the source image to the display lens and the touchscreen image to the reflective element;

the display lens is configured to transmit the source image to the enlarging and display unit; the reflective element is configured to reflect the touchscreen image to the touch projection module; and

the touch projection module is configured to project the touchscreen image.

2 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
