Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a simple stereoscopic display device making a projected video stereoscopic and visually impressing projected contents by generating voice synchronizing with the video from a projecting device projecting the video of a face from the back surface of a transmissive screen having a light scattering surface. CONSTITUTION:The video is projected to the back surface of the screen 40 from the projecting device 70. Namely, since the screen 40 has the light scattering surface 41, the video projected from the device 70 is formed on the light scattering surface 41. Then, the screen 40 has translucency, so that the video formed on the light scattering surface 41 is viewed from the surface side of the screen 40. Furthermore, since the screen 40 has a recessed and projected part obtained by imitating at least the mouth in the face, the expression of the mouth is changed as the video is changed. The voice synchronizing with the video of the screen 40 is generated by a voice sounding device 110. Therefore, the impression that the screen 40 speaks is given to a listener.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stereoscopic display device,
For example, it is used to guide game consoles and facilities, and fictitious creatures such as people, animals, and dinosaurs, or cartoon, animation, TV, and movie characters can be used to create stereoscopic images for users of game consoles and facilities. It was meant to be spoken with.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a display device of this type projects an image from a projection device such as a projector onto a flat projection surface such as a screen. Further, as a display device for projecting a stereoscopic image, two kinds of laser light, that is, object light and reference light, are simultaneously irradiated to an object, and a tertiary fringe is formed by using a buffer fringe formed by the displacement of the light position at this time. Holographic projection devices and the like have been developed that make the original virtual image appear.

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional display device, since the projection surface is flat, the projected image is also flat and the image cannot be changed. There was one problem. Further, the holographic projection device and the like can project a stereoscopic image, but on the other hand, there is a second problem that the device becomes large and the manufacturing cost increases.

The invention according to claim 1 has been proposed in view of the first and second problems of the above-mentioned prior art.
It is an object of the invention to provide a simple stereoscopic display device in which a projected image is stereoscopic and the projected content can be visually impressed. In addition to the object of claim 1 described above, the invention of claim 2 is to provide a stereoscopic display device capable of compactly configuring the entire device.

[0005]

The present invention is to achieve the above-mentioned object, and the contents thereof will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The invention according to claim 1 has a screen (40) having a concavo-convex portion imitating at least a mouth of a face and having a light diffusing surface (41) on at least one of the front and back surfaces thereof, and the screen (40). It is characterized by comprising a projection device (70) for projecting an image from the back surface of the device and a sound generation device (110) for generating a sound in synchronization with the image on the screen (40).

In addition to the configuration of the invention described in claim 1, the invention described in claim 2 further includes a screen (40) and a projection device (7).
(0), a reflection member (50) that reflects the image from the projection device (70) and projects it on the back surface of the screen (40), and the reflection member (50) with respect to the screen (40). Can move in any direction,
Moreover, the adjusting means (the supporting portion 51, the slide groove 9) that can adjust the reflection angle of the image from the projection device (70) to the screen (40).
0) and are provided.

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the invention, an image is projected from the projection device (70) toward the back surface of the screen (40).
That is, since the screen (40) has a light diffusing surface (41),
An image projected from the projection device (70) can be imaged on the light scattering surface (41). Further, since the screen (40) has a light-transmitting property, the image formed on the light diffusing surface (41) can be viewed from the front side of the screen (40). further,
Since the screen (40) has an uneven portion that imitates at least the mouth of the face, the facial expression of the mouth changes as the image changes.

Therefore, the sound generator (110) can give the listener who hears the sound synchronized with the image on the screen (40) the impression that the screen (40) is talking. It is possible to make a strong impression. According to the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the operation described in claim 1, the image projected from the projection device (70) is reflected by the reflection member (50) and projected on the screen (40). Therefore, it is not necessary to arrange the screen (40) and the projection device (70) in a straight line, and the entire device can be made more compact.

Further, adjusting means (support portion 51, slide groove 90)
Allows you to adjust the distance and angle of the reflective member (50),
A clear image can be projected at an appropriate position on the screen (40).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show an embodiment in which a stereoscopic display device according to the present invention is applied to a game machine.
Is a schematic side view of the stereoscopic display device, FIG. 2 is a schematic side view showing the inside of the game machine, FIG. 3 is a top view of the game machine, FIG. 4 is a top view of the game part, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the game part. Shown respectively.

First, the stereoscopic display device according to the present invention of the game machine will be described. As shown in FIGS.
Shows a stereoscopic display device according to the present invention. The stereoscopic display device 10 includes a screen 40 imitating the surface shape of a person's face on the upper front surface of a housing 30 integrated with a game machine 20. The front surface is arranged so as to face the player facing the game machine 20.

Inside the housing 30, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a reflecting member 50 is positioned behind the screen 40.
The projection device 70 including a liquid crystal projector is provided on the upper shelf plate 60 provided below the reflection member 50. The screen 40 is formed of a translucent plate-shaped member such as acrylic resin or glass. And
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the screen 40 has, for example, an uneven surface imitating at least a mouth, which is formed by imitating the outer shape of a human face. In the present embodiment, in addition to the mouth, the eyes and nose, or the outer shape of the face of a person such as the forehead, cheeks, and chin is imitated as it is.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the screen 40 has a light diffusing surface 41 on at least one of its back surface and front surface, for example, the back surface in this embodiment. The light diffusing surface 41 has a so-called frosted glass shape formed by, for example, sandblasting.
The light projected on is diffusely reflected to form an image on the light-scattering surface 41.

On the other hand, the front surface of the screen 40 is covered with a protective cover 80 made of a transparent acrylic resin plate or the like for protecting the screen 40, as shown in FIGS. In addition, as shown in FIGS.
Is provided. This shading plate 90 is provided on the screen 40 from the outside.
