Abstract

A transmission method includes: in a first period, causing a light source to emit light having a first luminance; and in a second period, causing the light source to transmit an optical signal by causing the light source to alternately emit light having a second luminance and light having a third luminance lower than the second luminance.

Claims (17)

1. A transmission device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel;

a reflective panel that reflects light transmitted through the liquid crystal panel; and

a liquid crystal controller that changes a luminous transmittance of the liquid crystal panel in accordance with a plurality of mutually different modulated signals, wherein

a liquid crystal screen including the liquid crystal panel and the reflective panel is divided into a plurality of regions, and

for each of the plurality of mutually different modulated signals, the liquid crystal controller changes the luminous transmittance in a region among the plurality of regions that corresponds to the modulated signal, according to the modulated signal.

2. The transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a photoelectric converter that converts outside light into power and supplies the power to the liquid crystal controller.

3. The transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

memory that stores the plurality of mutually different modulated signals, wherein

the liquid crystal controller controls the luminous transmittance of the liquid crystal panel in accordance with the plurality of mutually different modulated signals stored in the memory.

4. The transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

memory that stores transmission data, wherein

the liquid crystal controller generates the plurality of mutually different modulated signals based on the transmission data stored in the memory.

5. The transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an interface that obtains transmission data, wherein

the liquid crystal controller generates the plurality of mutually different modulated signals based on the transmission data obtained by the interface.
