A mirror device has a plurality of organic EL elements and a plurality of metal mirror surface portions that are divided by banks made of a light-transmissive dielectric material and aligned on a substrate. Each of the organic EL elements has an organic layer that is formed between a light-transmissive electrode and a reflection electrode and contains a light-emitting layer. Each of the metal mirror surface portions and each of the organic EL elements or each group of the metal mirror surface portions and each group of the organic EL elements are alternately disposed.

Light-emitting device

A mirror device has a light-transmissive substrate and at least one organic EL element supported on the back surface of the light-transmissive substrate, and emits light from the front surface of the light-transmissive substrate. The organic EL element has an organic layer containing a light-emitting layer layered between a light-transmissive electrode and a reflection electrode that are opposite to each other. The light-transmissive electrode is formed on the light-transmissive substrate. The mirror device has a plurality of metal mirror surface portions that each have an area smaller than the area of the light-transmissive electrode and are distributed and disposed on the front surface of the light-transmissive substrate so as to be opposite to the light-emitting layer.

Mirror device having a light-transmissive substrate

A light emitting systemincludes a light source (), a light transmission quantity adjustment unit (), and a control unit (). The light source () may be a fluorescent lamp or an electric bulb, and may be an Organic Electroluminescence (EL) element or a Light Emitting Diode (LED) element. The light transmission quantity adjustment unit () is arranged with a space (S) from the light source (), and adjusts a light transmission quantity. The control unit () controls the light transmission quantity adjustment unit () based on a timing at which the light source () emits light.

Light emitting system

A mark irradiation unit () irradiates an object with a mark. An image capture unit () captures an image of the object, and generates image data. Then, an image capture area data generation unit recognizes a position of the mark in the object, and cuts out image capture area data which is apart of the image data on the basis of the mark. For this reason, the mark irradiation unit () irradiates the object with the mark, and thus even when a positioning symbol is not printed on the object to be stored as the image data, only a necessary portion in the image data is cut out.

Image capture device and method for recognizing irradiated position mark on object

Provided is an illuminated mirror device including: a mirror; a light-emitting part for illumination disposed near the mirror; and driving means for driving the light-emitting part, and detection means for detecting a direction of a face of a person in front of the mirror with respect to the mirror, wherein the driving means controls an emission luminance distribution on a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting part on the basis of the face direction detected by the detection means. Also provided is a method for controlling illumination thereof.

Illuminated mirror device and method for controlling illumination thereof

Mirror device

Provided herein are: a data acquiring unit which acquires a plurality of angle video data equal or less than the angle video data and relative display position information from a recording unit which records the plurality of angle video data corresponding to the plurality of angle videos taken at a plurality of taking angles different from one another in which a taken object is taken and records the relative display position information indicating a relative display position of each angle video in consideration of each taking angle; a video signal output unit which outputs a plurality of angle video signals corresponding to the plurality of angle videos to display units based on the plurality of angle video data; and an arrangement determining unit which determines a display position arrangement of the plurality of angle videos based on the relative display position information.

Video reproducing apparatus, video display system and record medium

An information recording medium comprising a substrate (), a recording layer () formed on the substrate in order to record information, a color filter () formed on the substrate, and a thermal reflectance variation layer () formed on the substrate in order to vary light reflectance by heat incident to irradiation of light and to reflect visible light entering from one side of the substrate through a color filter. High precision color writing or color label writing can be carried out on an information recording medium such as DVD and BD where a label can be written on the surface by irradiating light.

Information recording medium

A hologram recording apparatus () is provided with: a recording device () for recording record information into a hologram recording medium (); a measuring device () for measuring a time elapsed from when the recording of the record information is stopped to when the recording of the record information is restarted; a first controlling device () for controlling the recording device to multiplex-record the record information, if the measured elapsed time is shorter than a time length in which the record information can be multiplex-recorded; and a second controlling device () for controlling the recording device not to multiplex-record the record information, if the measured elapsed time is longer than the time length in which the record information can be multiplex-recorded.

Hologram recording medium, hologram recording apparatus and method, and computer program

A disc-shaped information recording medium includes a first recording layer (L0 layer) having (I) a first trial write area (P-) for trial write of first trial write information for calibration of the laser beam along the first track path (TP) from the inner circumference toward the outer circumference and (II) a first recording area for recording the first recording information along a first track path (TP), in this order from the inner circumference side. Furthermore, the disc-shaped information recording medium includes a second recording layer (L1 layer) having (I) a second trial write area (P-) for trial write of second trial write information for calibration of the laser beam along the second track path (TP) from the outer circumference toward the inner circumference and (II) a second recording area for recording the second recording information along a second track path (TP), in this order from the inner circumference side.
