Abstract
An illumination device has a coherent light source that emits coherent light beam, and an optical device that diffuses the coherent light beam, wherein the optical device comprises a first diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to illuminate a first area, and a second diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to display predetermined information in a second area.
Claims20
An illumination device comprising:
- a coherent light source that emits coherent light beam;
- an optical device that diffuses the coherent light beam;
- and
- a scanning unit that scans the coherent light beam emitted by the coherent light source on the optical device,
- wherein the optical device comprises a first diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam scanned on the optical device by the scanning unit to illuminate a first area, and a second diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam scanned on the optical device by the scanning unit to display predetermined information in a second area, the predetermined information comprising a guidance display information.

An illumination device comprising:
- a coherent light source that emits coherent light beam;
- an optical device comprising a first diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to illuminate a first area, and a second diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to display predetermined information in a second area;
- and
- a timing control unit that controls a light emission timing at which the coherent light source emits the coherent light so that the coherent light illuminates the first diffusion region and the second diffusion region, an incident timing at which the coherent light from the coherent light source is incident on the first diffusion region and the second diffusion region, or an illumination timing at which the coherent light diffused by the optical device illuminates the first area and the second area,
- wherein the predetermined information comprises a guidance display information.
