Abstract

Light other than visible light is emitted from a video image display section such as a screen, together with display images, so as to degrade image quality of illegally camcorded video images, thereby making it impossible to use the illegally camcorded image contents. A video image display system includes a projector that generates a display image; and a screen on which the image generated by the projector is projected and displayed. On a backside of the screen, there is provided an infrared ray emitting unit that emits infrared light from a video image display surface during a period while video images are being displayed on the screen. The infrared ray emitting unit includes a wavelength cut filter that substantially does not transmit a predetermined wavelength component close to a visible light region, among the light emitted from the infrared light source

Claims

1. An anti-camcording device that superposes infrared light on a video image displayed on a video image display section, so as to interfere with illegal camcording of the video image displayed on the video image display section, the anti-camcording device comprising:

an infrared light source that emits infrared light containing at least light of a wavelength of 780 nm or more, toward the video image display section; and

a wavelength cut filter provided before the infrared light source, which substantially does not transmit a predetermined wavelength component close to a visible light region, among light emitted from the infrared light source.

2. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined wavelength component has a wavelength lower than a wavelength at which a luminance of the infrared light source becomes maximum.

3. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined wavelength component is a component of 780 nm to 840 nm.

4. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined wavelength component is a component of 780 nm to 870 nm.

5. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein the wavelength cut filter has a characteristic of having a continuous change of 30 dB or more in a transition range between a light transmission range and a light blocking range.

6. The anti-camcording device according to claim 5, wherein in the transition range, a wavelength range having the continuous change of 30 dB or more exists between an upper limit wavelength of the predetermined wavelength component and the wavelength at which the infrared light source provides the maximum luminance.

7. The anti-camcording device according to claim 2, wherein the wavelength at which the infrared light source provides the maximum luminance is 920 nm or less.

8. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein the infrared light has a luminance of 0.0062 nmW/cm² or more on a surface of the video image display section.

9. The anti-camcording device according to claim 8, wherein the infrared light has a luminance of 0.310 nmW/cm² or more on the surface of the video image display section.

10. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein a luminance on a surface of the video image display section on which the infrared light is projected does not exceed 1.01 nmW/cm².

11. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of a luminance of the infrared light with respect to a luminance of a video image displayed on the video image display section is 0.012 or more.

12. The anti-camcording device according to claim 11, wherein the ratio of a luminance of the infrared light with respect to a luminance of a video image displayed on the video image display section is 0.59 or more.

13. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein the infrared light source is any one of an LED, a laser, and a xenon lamp.

14. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein the infrared light source emits light having a visible light wavelength.

15. The anti-camcording device according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of the infrared light sources are provided.

16. An anti-camcording method of superposing infrared light on a video image displayed on a video image display section so as to interfere with illegally camcording of the video image displayed on the video image display section, the anti-camcording method comprising:

emitting infrared light containing at least light of a wavelength of 780 nm or more, toward the video image display section from an infrared light source; and

with use of a wavelength cut filter provided before the infrared light source, substantially prohibiting a predetermined wavelength component close to a visible light region, among light emitted from the infrared light source, from passing through the wavelength cut filter.

17. A video image display system comprising:

an image formation section that generates a display image according to a video image signal; and

a video image display section on which the image generated by the image formation section is displayed,

the video image display system further comprising;

an infrared light source that emits infrared light containing at least light of a wavelength of 780 nm or more, toward the video image display section; and

a wavelength cut filter provided before the infrared light source, which substantially does not transmit a predetermined wavelength component close to a visible light region, among light emitted from the infrared light source.
