Title: Keizo Kono: Innovator in Imaging Technology

Introduction

Keizo Kono is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of imaging technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative work has led to advancements in image processing and projection systems.

Latest Patents

One of Kono's latest patents is an image pick-up apparatus designed for outputting image frames by thinning out the same. This invention addresses the issue of invalid frames in 60P images supplied from a 60P camera head. It utilizes a 1-frame delay circuit to compute the differential between the delayed invalid frame and the valid frame. A level filter picks out only the portion of the differential signal that exceeds a predetermined value. The selected signal is then attenuated and superimposed onto the valid frame, resulting in a natural picture.

Another notable patent is a video projector that features a projection lens system with a single optical axis. This projector is capable of projecting multiple color images displayed on various CRTs. The color images are focused onto spatial light modulators through a series of writing lenses. Additionally, light from a reading source is divided into three colors, which are then inputted into the spatial light modulators. The output is synthesized and projected as a composite color light onto a screen.
