Abstract

A display system in an embodiment according to the present invention includes a display panel, a backlight located at a back surface side of the display panel and that emits light toward the display panel, a reflective panel located at a front surface side of the display panel and having a light receiving surface inclined obliquely in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the backlight, and a magnifying mirror disposed at a position where a reflected light from the reflective panel is received. The reflective panel includes a reflection region and a transmission region in the light receiving surface, and a position and a size of the reflection region and the transmission region are variable.

Claims (30)

1. A display system, comprising:

a display panel;

a backlight located at a back surface side of the display panel and that emits light toward the display panel;

a reflective panel located at a front surface side of the display panel and having a light receiving surface inclined obliquely in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the backlight; and

a magnifying mirror disposed at a position where a reflected light from the reflective panel is received,

wherein the reflective panel includes a reflection region and a transmission region in the light receiving surface, and a position and a size of the reflection region and the transmission region are variable.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective panel allocates a region where an image displayed on a part of a display part of the display panel is projected as the reflection region.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the light receiving surface of the reflective panel includes a plurality of divided regions where a reflective state and a transmissive state are individually controlled.

4. The display system according to claim 3 , wherein the backlight has a plurality of divided light emitting regions, and light emission/non-light emission of the plurality of divided light emitting regions is individually controlled, and

the plurality of divided regions of the reflective panel are controlled to be in the reflective state in a first region corresponding to the light emitting region of the plurality of divided light emitting regions, and are controlled to be in the transmissive state in a second region corresponding to the non-light emitting region of the plurality of divided light emitting regions.

5. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the reflection region includes:

a transmission polarization axis conversion unit including a plurality of first electrodes, a second electrode opposed to the plurality of first electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer between the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode;

an absorption polarization unit located at a light incident side of the transmission polarization axis conversion unit; and

a reflection polarization unit located at a side opposite to the light incident side of the transmission polarization axis conversion unit,

wherein the transmission polarization axis of the absorption polarization unit and the reflection polarization axis of the reflection polarization unit are arranged to be perpendicular to each other.

6. A display system, comprising:

a display panel displaying images;

a backlight emitting light from a back surface side of the display panel;

a reflective panel having a light receiving surface on which an image displayed on the display panel is projected; and

a magnifying mirror for projecting the images projected on the reflective panel to a projection port,

wherein the reflective panel includes a reflection region and a transmission region in the light receiving surface, and a position and a size of the reflection region and the transmission region are variable.

7. The display system according to claim 6 , wherein the reflective panel allocates a region where the image displayed on the display panel is projected as the reflection region.

8. The display system according to claim 6 , wherein the reflective panel includes a first region and a second region in the light receiving surface, and a reflective state and a transmissive state of the first region and the second region are individually controlled.

9. The display system according to claim 6 , wherein the backlight includes a plurality of light emitting elements which are division driven, and

the reflective panel controls a reflective state and a transmissive state of a first region and a second region in synchronization with the division driven plurality of light emitting elements.

10. The display system according to claim 9 , wherein in the backlight, a part of the light emitting elements of the plurality of light emitting elements emits light corresponding to the image displayed on the display panel, and

the reflective panel is allocated with the reflection region in a region where the image is projected and is arranged with the transmission region in other regions.

11. The display system according to claim 6 , wherein the reflective panel includes a pair of absorption polarization units and reflection polarization units, and a transmission polarization axis conversion unit disposed between the absorption polarization unit and the reflection polarization unit, and

the transmission polarization axis conversion unit controls the polarization axis of transmitted light by an electro-optical effect of liquid crystal.

12. The display system according to claim 6 , wherein the reflective panel includes a period in which the entire light receiving surface is in a transmissive state within one frame period when the display panel displays the image.
