BEAM-SCAN DISPLAY APPARATUS, DISPLAY METHOD, AND VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A beam-scan display apparatus that displays an image by scanning a beam on a retina of a user, said beam-scan display apparatus comprising:
- a case for housing (i) a light source which emits a beam for drawing each of pixels constituting the image, and (ii) a scan unit configured to two-dimensionally scan the beam emitted from said light source; and
a contact lens having a deflection unit configured to deflect, toward the retina of an eye of the user wearing said case, the beam scanned by said scan unit, said contact lens being separate from said case.

Abstract
A beam-scan display apparatus (10) that displays an image by scanning a beam on a retina of a user, the beam-scan display apparatus (10) comprising: a case (11) for housing (i) a light source (101) which emits a beam for drawing each of pixels constituting the image, and (ii) a scan unit (103) configured to two-dimensionally scan the beam emitted from the light source (101); and a contact lens (12) having a deflection unit (104) configured to deflect, toward the retina of an eye of the user wearing the case (11), the beam scanned by the scan unit (103), the contact lens (12) being separate from the case (11).

17. A method for displaying an image using a beam-scan display apparatus,
wherein the beam-scan display apparatus includes: -
a case for housing a light source and a scan unit; and a contact lens which includes a deflection unit and is separate from the case, and said method comprises; emitting, from the light source, a beam for drawing each of pixels constituting the image; two-dimensionally scanning the beam emitted in said emitting; deflecting, toward a retina of an eye of a user, the beam scanned in said scanning, said deflecting being performed by the deflection unit; detecting reflection, from the contact lens, of the beam emitted in said emitting; detecting a change in relative positions of the scan unit and the deflection unit with respect to each other, based on the detection in said detecting of reflection; and controlling a scan angle of the scan unit based on the detection in said detecting of a change in relative positions such that the beam incident on the deflection unit travels toward the user'"'"'s retina.
