Visual acuity test device and visual acuity test system
A portable visual acuity examination device comprises a mounting unit that can be mounted in front of eyes either using or not using eyeglasses, a visual target displaying unit that uses an organic EL display panel, a display controlling unit that changes the visual target displayed on the displaying unit, an inputting unit for visual target viewing results, and a transmitting unit for measurement results. The portable visual acuity examination device comprises an optical system that can change the distance at which the visual target virtual image is visible. The portable visual acuity examination device detects whether eyeglasses are used and matches an uncorrected vision acuity examination and a corrected vision acuity examination. The portable visual acuity examination device switches between a C-type visual target and an E-type visual target. With data display, both the right and left display units are enabled.
1. A portable visual acuity test device for a person being tested comprising:
a mount arranged to have the portable visual acuity test device worn in front of an eye of the person;
a display which displays a visual target in front of the eye of the person for a visual acuity test who wears the portable visual acuity test device;
a display controller which switches visual targets displayed on the display for the person to recognize the visual target;
an input unit to which a recognition result of the visual target is inputted by the person if the person can recognize the visual target with his/her visual activity; and
a transmitter which transmits the recognition result inputted by the person to an administrator outside the portable visual acuity test device.
2. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , wherein the display comprises an organic electroluminescence display panel.
3. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an optical system which permits adjustment of a distance at which a virtual image of the visual target is seen.
4. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , wherein the mount is arranged to have the portable visual acuity test device worn in front of the eye both in an eyeglasses-worn state and in a naked-eye state.
5. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 4 , further comprising:
a detector which detects whether or not eyeglasses are worn.
6. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 5 , wherein the detector determines a relationship between an intended test of a naked-eye visual acuity test and a corrected visual acuity test with eyeglasses are worn.
7. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , wherein the display can switch between a C shape visual target and an E shape visual target.
8. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , wherein
the display has a right-eye display and a left-eye display,
in a visual acuity test, one of the right-eye display and the left-eye display is enabled, and
in information display, the right-eye display and the left-eye display are both enabled.
9. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , wherein in information display, the display displays in letters enlarged to be larger than a visual target.
10. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , wherein
the input unit includes an acceleration sensor arranged to detect a head movement, wherein
the input unit inputs the recognition result of the visual target om accordance with the head movement detected by the acceleration sensor.
11. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 10 , wherein the recognition result of the visual target is determined based on a relationship between a direction of the visual target displayed on the display and a direction of the head movement detected by the acceleration sensor.
12. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 10 , wherein inability to recognize is inputted by a predetermined head movement detected by the acceleration sensor.
13. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of kinds of visual acuity tests are performed automatically.
14. A portable visual acuity test device for a person being tested comprising:
a mount arranged to have the portable visual acuity test device worn in front of an eye of the person;
a display which displays a visual target in front of the eye of the person for a visual acuity test who wears the portable visual acuity test device; and
an acceleration sensor which detects a head movement of the person, wherein a recognition result of the visual target by the person is inputted by the head movement detected by the acceleration sensor, wherein the head is moved by the person toward a direction corresponding to the recognition result if the person can recognize the visual target with his/her visual activity.
15. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 14 , wherein a recognition result of the visual acuity is determined based on a relationship between a direction of a visual target displayed on the display and a direction of the head movement detected by the acceleration sensor.
16. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 14 , wherein inability to recognize is inputted by a predetermined head movement detected by the acceleration sensor.
17. A visual acuity test system comprising:
a plurality of portable visual acuity test devices as claimed in claim 1 ; and
an administrator which can communicate with the portable visual acuity test devices.
18. A portable visual acuity test device for a person being tested comprising:
a mount arranged to have the portable visual acuity test device worn in front of a right-eye and a left-eye of the person;
a right-eye display which displays a visual target in front of the right-eye of the person for a right-eye visual acuity test who wears the portable visual acuity test device;
a left-eye display which displays a visual target in front of the left-eye of the person for a left-eye visual acuity test of the person; and
a display controller which enables, in the visual acuity test, one of the right-eye display and the left-eye display to individually test one of the right-eye and left-eye, wherein the display controller further enables, in information display to inform the person of message of instructions or warning for use of the portable visual activity test device, both the right-eye display and the left-eye display by means of displaying the same information so that a person who has poor eyesight with singly eye may visually recognize the message of instructions or warning with complimentary visual acuities of both eyes.
19. The portable visual acuity test device of claim 18 , wherein in information display, the right-eye display and the left-eye display in letters enlarged to be larger than a visual target.
20. A The portable visual acuity test device of claim 18 , further comprising:
a right-eye display and a left-eye display, wherein in a visual acuity test, one of the right-eye display and the left-eye display is enabled, and in information display, the right-eye display and the left-eye display are both enabled; and
an acceleration sensor which detects a head movement,
wherein the information display and display for the visual acuity test are switched by the head movement detected by the acceleration sensor.
