Optical fiber positioning element at optical fiber bundling part in optical fiber type display and method of manufacture and optical fiber type display

摘要

The present invention provides an optical fiber positioning element (8) of an optical fiber converging portion (3) for converging a large number of optical fibers (5) led to a screen panel (4) for image display in an optical fiber display system. The optical fiber positioning element (8) comprises a belt-shaped body (9) and a plurality of optical fiber supports (10) provided on the upper and lower sides of the belt-shaped body (9) at a predetermined pitch in the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped body. The optical fibers (5) are supported by engagement with a plurality of optical fiber supports (10) on the upper and lower sides of the belt-shaped body. In addition, the present invention provides an optical fiber display system wherein an image projected onto an optical fiber converging portion from a projector is guided to a screen panel (24) through a large number of optical fibers (25) converged at the optical fiber converging portion to display the image on the screen panel (24). In the optical fiber display system, a plurality of projectors (27a to 27d) are provided, and the optical fiber converging portion (28) comprises a plurality of converging units (28a to 28d) connected to each other. Images projected onto the plurality of converging units (28a to 28d) from the plurality of projectors (27a to 27d) individually are superimposed on one another on the screen panel (24) so as to be displayed as a single image.
