Abstract:
A signal processing device which makes an adjustment of a displayed picture easy. When a game button 31 of a television is pressed, a picture and a sound from a game unit are selected from among a plurality of inputs, an indicator 10 lights up and a predetermined sound is outputted to confirm for the user that the picture and the sound of the game unit have been selected. When the game button 31 is rotated, preset types of adjustment of the displayed picture, for example, a change to the aspect ratio or a change to the position in which the picture is displayed on a CRT, are carried out.
Abstract:
There has been room for improvement in terms of increasing the life of display elements which have occurrences of irreversible bright point defects and black point defects and shortened lives of display elements when DMDs, which are reflective display devices, are used in high temperature environments such as being installed in vehicles. In the present invention, a display control means displays a display image in display elements. An illumination control means drives various illumination means in each subframe into which a frame of the display image is temporally divided, by a field sequential system. The frame is provided with a display period in which the display image is displayed in the display elements by the display control means normally driving a plurality of pixels and the illumination control means driving the illumination means and a non-display period in which the display image is not displayed in the display elements by the display control means engaging in non-display period drive of the plurality of pixels and the illumination control means turning off the illumination means.

Each print module is set with identity information for its identification.
Abstract:
An optical pickup device according to the present invention comprises: a first mirror for reflecting a first light beam outputted from a first light source and letting a second light beam outputted from a second light source pass therethrough; a first object lens for converging the first light beam reflected by the first mirror on an information recording surface of a recording medium; a second mirror for reflecting the second light beam passing through the first mirror; a second object lens for converging the second light beam reflected by the second mirror on the information recording surface of the recording medium; and an achromatic lens for correcting an axial chromatic aberration of the second object lens generated by wavelength variation of the second light beam, wherein the achromatic lens is provided in an optical path between the first mirror and the second mirror.
Abstract:
An image-forming apparatus is provided which is capable of forming a high-quality image without adverse effect (deterioration in printing precision) which may be caused by a dimensional error in producing ink ejection orifice rows, an error in arranging the ink ejection orifice rows, an error in delivering a recording medium, or a like error. With the apparatus employing six rows of ink ejection orifices, an image is formed by ejecting the ink from the third row of the six ink ejection orifice row numbered in the delivery direction onto a raster line zone L3, ejecting the ink from the fifth row onto a raster line zone L5, ejecting the ink from the sixth row onto a raster line zone L6, ejecting the ink from the fourth row onto a raster line zone L4, ejecting the ink from the second row onto a raster line zone L2, and ejecting the ink from the first row numbered in the recording medium delivery direction onto a raster line zone L1.
Abstract:
A first light emitting element(23) emits first illuminating light. A second light emitting element(24) is arranged in parallel to the first light emitting element(23), and emits second illuminating light. An optical member(26) is composed of a light transmitting material provided with a first inclining plane(26a) for deflecting the first illuminating light so as to have a part of the first illuminating light overlap with a part of the second illuminating light, and a second inclining plane(26b) for deflecting the second illuminating light. The first light emitting element(23) and the second light emitting element(24) are provided with light emitting diode chips(23c,24c) and fluorescent bodies(23d,24d) for performing wavelength conversion to the light emitted from the light emitting diode chips(23c,24c), respectively.
Abstract:
Variations in the negative pressure in the print head is minimized by positively controlling the ink supply pressure. For this purpose, the pump (36) and the valve (35) are installed in the ink communication path between the ink tank (40) and the print head (811), and are controlled to adjust the negative pressure applied to the print head (811).
Abstract:
An objective lens records information on, or read information from, a first optical medium by utilizing a first light beam which convergences on the first optical medium at a first numerical aperture (hereinafter “NA1”). The objective lens records information on, or read information from, a second optical medium by utilizing a second light beam which convergences on the second optical medium at a second numerical aperture (hereinafter “NA2”). In the objective lens, NA1 is greater than NA2. The objective lens has an optical lens for receiving the first light beam and the second light beam. The optical lens has a peripheral diffraction structure disposed substantially outside an area of incidence of the second light beam for suppressing fluctuation in wavefront aberration of the first light beam, and a phase step structure disposed in a central region relative to the peripheral region for producing a phase difference in the second light beam.
