Abstract

PURPOSE:To enlarge-project a reproduced image by arranging a liquid crystal display in the image forming position of a photographic lens and causing the light of a light source to irradiate the liquid crystal display. CONSTITUTION:A photographic lens 3 of a camera unifying type VTR 1 is directed to a subject, and a photographing is executed by operating an operating part 5. The subject is image-formed on an image pick-up element 8 by the photographic lens 3. The output signal of the image pick-up element 8 is recorded onto the magnetic tape of a cassette. Simultaneously, a projection is executed on a liquid crystal display 4, a utilization as a finder can be executed. Next, at the time of seeing in enlarging and projecting, a cover 6a is opened, and the camera unifying type VTR 1 is housed in a carrying case 6. At such a time, a reflecting mirror 7 is operated, and it is made to fall in a horizontal position. When a power source is inputted, the video of the liquid crystal display 4 irradiated by light source 9 is enlarged and projected as a large-scale picture on a screen.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a camera-integrated video tape recorder that records or reproduces video signals using a photographic lens.

(Prior Art) In recent years, various functions have been added to camera-integrated video tape recorders (hereinafter referred to as camera-integrated VTRs), such as the ability to play recorded tapes and view them on an attached liquid crystal display. I can do it.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, with the above configuration, a television receiver is always required if the user wants to enlarge and view the reproduced image. When you go on a trip and want to view images taken with a camera-body type VTR with a large number of people, you cannot do so without a television receiver. Also, even if you have a television receiver,
Connection cannot be made unless there is a matching input terminal. moreover,
Even if a connection could be established, the problem was that it would be difficult to watch on a small television set with a large group of people.

The present invention solves the above problems and provides a camera-integrated VTR that uses a photographic lens to project and enlarge a reproduced image on a liquid crystal display.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention arranges a liquid crystal display at the imaging position of a photographic lens, and irradiates the liquid crystal display with light from a light source, thereby displaying the reproduced image. The image is enlarged and projected through the photographic lens mentioned above.

(Function) With the configuration described in section 2, the reproduced image on the liquid crystal display illuminated by the light from the light source is enlarged and projected onto a wall or screen through a photographic lens, so you can enjoy a large screen even without a television receiver. You can enjoy the reproduced images.

(Example) Two examples of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a camera-integrated VTR showing a first embodiment.

In the figure, the camera-integrated VTRI has a cassette storage section 2 on the top surface, a photographic lens 3 inside the right end, and a liquid crystal display bracelet 4 and an operation section 5 on the front side.

The liquid crystal display 4 described above is used as a monitor during shooting and playback.

Figure 2 shows the above-mentioned camera-integrated VTR 1 being transported in a case 6.
FIG.

In the figure, a reflector 7 that can rotate once is provided on the rear side of a photographic lens 3 of a camera-integrated VTRI, and an image sensor 8 is disposed below the reflector 7. Further, a projection light source 9 is embedded in the inner rear wall of the transport case 6 at a position facing the liquid crystal display 4 described above. Note that the transport case 6 is provided with a lid 6a supported by one hinge.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the transport case 6, and the transport case 6 includes:
The power supply coat 10 not only has a built-in portable power source such as a battery (not shown), but also has a power source function that can be connected to an AC power source for lighting. A tuner 12 connected to a speaker 11 is provided.

The operation of the camera-integrated VTR 1 configured as described above will be explained.

In Fig. 1, a photographic lens 3 of a camera-integrated VTRI is shown.
Aim the camera at the subject and operate the operation unit 5 to take a picture. At this time, since the reflecting mirror 7 shown in FIG. 2 is at the position indicated by the broken line, the object is imaged on the image pickup device 8 by the photographic lens 3. The output signal of the image sensor 8 is recorded on a magnetic tape of a cassette. At the same time, it is displayed on the liquid crystal display 4, so it can be used as a finder.

Next, when you want to enlarge and project the image, as shown in Figure 2,
Open the lid 6a and place the camera-integrated VTR inside the transport case 6.
Store 4. At this time, the reflector 7 is operated to bring it down to the horizontal position shown by the solid line. When the power is turned on, the image on the liquid crystal display 4 illuminated by the light source 9 is enlarged by the photographic lens 3 and displayed as a large screen on a screen (not shown).

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a liquid crystal display 4 is disposed on the top surface of a camera-integrated VTRI. Therefore, the image sensor 8, which was placed on the lower side in the first embodiment, is placed on the optical axis of the photographic lens 3, and the reflector 7, which was tilted down during enlarged projection in the first embodiment, is tilted down during photography. The light source 9, which was buried in the inner rear wall of the transport case 6 in the first embodiment, is moved to the rear wall 1.

Since the other details remain the same, their explanation will be omitted.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, an image on a liquid crystal display illuminated by a light source can be enlarged and projected using a photographic lens to be enjoyed on a large screen.

Therefore, even without a television receiver, it is possible to reproduce the content on a large screen and view it with a large number of people.
