IMAGE DISPLAYING METHOD FOR A HEAD-MOUNTED TYPE DISPLAY UNIT
First Claim
1. An image displaying method for a head-mounted type display unit which includes(a) a frame of the glasses type for being mounted on the head of an observer,(b) an image display apparatus attached to the frame, and(c) control means for controlling image display of the image display apparatus, andthe image display apparatus including(A) an image forming apparatus, and(B) an optical apparatus to which light outputted from the image forming apparatus is inputted and by and from which the light is guided and outputted, the image displaying method comprising the steps of:
- storing a data group configured from a plurality of data in storage means provided in the control means;
adding a data identification code to each of the data which configure the data group;
sending a designation identification code and display time information at predetermined intervals of time from the outside to the control means; and
reading out, in the control means, the data whose data identification code coincides with the received designation identification code from the storage means and controlling the image forming apparatus to display an image based on the read out data for a period of time corresponding to the received display time information.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an image displaying method for a head-mounted type display unit which includes a frame of the glasses type for being mounted on the head of an observer, an image display apparatus attached to the frame, and a control section for controlling image display of the image display apparatus. The image display apparatus includes an image forming apparatus, and an optical apparatus. The image displaying method includes the steps of: storing a data group configured from a plurality of data in a storage section; adding a data identification code to each of the data; sending a designation identification code and display time information at predetermined intervals of time; and reading out the data whose data identification code coincides with the received designation identification code from the storage section and controlling the image forming apparatus to display an image based on the read out data.
