Takashi Sakamoto

Title: Takashi Sakamoto: Inventor of Image Display Technologies.

Introduction

Takashi Sakamoto is an inventor based in Anan, Japan, and works at Nichia Corporation. His patent portfolio includes 3 patents, with recent work focused on image display devices and optical control.

Latest Patents

Sakamoto’s latest patents describe image display devices that manage light to produce and present images.

One patent describes a device with an imaging element, a light source, a light-shielding member, and a light-transmitting member. The shielding member blocks some light, while the transmitting member selectively controls the passage of light at certain wavelengths emitted by the imaging element.

Another patent describes an imaging element built around an array of dihedral corner reflectors. The reflectors are arranged in rows, with orthogonal reflecting surfaces configured to form a floating image near the element’s first surface. A light-transmitting member passes light reflected twice by the imaging element, while a light-shielding member blocks other light. The device also includes a detector and a controller.

Career Highlights

Sakamoto’s disclosed inventions demonstrate a focus on image display systems, including optical structures for forming floating images and components that selectively transmit or shield light. His work is associated with Nichia Corporation.

Collaborations

Sakamoto’s listed coworkers include Hisanori Tanaka and Hajime Akimoto.

Conclusion

Takashi Sakamoto’s patents reflect his contributions to image display technology through optical designs that control light and support floating-image formation.
