摘要:
A high speed multiplex-driven liquid crystal display device is capable of utilizing a bistable nematic liquid crystal medium while maintaining high contrast, fast switching capability and a wide viewing angle. The chiral nematic liquid crystal medium has a twisted structure wherein a first voltage waveform applied in a first time period brings on Frederick's transition followed by a selected second voltage waveform applied in a second time period capable of generating one of two selectable metastable states representing switchable bistable states.

A method of driving a liquid crystal that has a memory capability, wherein a reset voltage is initially applied to the liquid crystal during a reset period, to bring about a Freedericksz transition in the liquid crystal. During a subsequent selection period, a selection voltage that is selected on the basis of a critical value that brings about one of two metastable states in the liquid crystal is applied to the liquid crystal, and, during a non-selection period that follows the selection period, a non-selection voltage that is less than or equal to a threshold value that maintains two metastable states is applied to the liquid crystal. A delay period is provided between the reset period and the selection period, in order to gain effective timing for applying the selection voltage to the liquid crystal after the application of the reset voltage has been turned off. This shortens the length of the selection period, and hence the write time.

摘要:
A time-sharing addressing method for an antiferroelectric phase liquid crystal element that demonstrates tristable switching behavior, wherein the drive voltage waveform is made an alternating current and the time average value of the voltage, including the depolarization field due to spontaneous polarization of the liquid crystal, actually applied to the liquid crystal substance in one frame or two frames is made zero for the purpose of expanding the drive voltage margin and the operating temperature margin of the element, shortening the screen scanning time and preventing degradation of the electro-optical characteristic by suppressing polarization of the electric charge due to spontaneous polarization of the liquid crystal. Also, by providing the blanking period required for relaxation from a ferroelectric phase to an antiferroelectric phase in the non-selection period, the time required for screen scanning is shortened, and by changing the length of the blanking period according to the temperature dependence of the response-relaxation time, the operating temperature margin is expanded.
摘要:
A starter driving semiconductor switch apparatus energizes and de-energizes a starter according to a command from an outside. A series circuit to which semiconductor switches are connected in series is provided between a battery serving as a power supply and the starter. The starter is energized by bringing all the semiconductor switches into conduction. A voltage or a current at a predetermined point in the series circuit is monitored to make a self-diagnosis on whether the starter is allowed to start and whether there is a failure in the semiconductor switches according to a monitor output. The starter driving semiconductor switch apparatus is thus expected to have a longer useful life by energizing the starter not by using mechanical contacts but by using semiconductor switches.
摘要:
Provided are an illumination optical system allowing light beams to be condensed and enter an illumination area at different angles from each other, color separating elements that separate colors of the light beams from the illumination optical systems, liquid crystal light valves that modulate the color lights to form image light for the right and the left eyes, a color combining element that combines the color light beams, a wavelength-selective polarization rotating element that rotates the polarization direction of a predetermined color light so as to align the polarization direction with that of a light beam of another color, and a projection lens that magnifies and projects images. The liquid crystal light valves are provided with an incident side microlens array that causes the light beams for the right and the left eyes to pass respectively through the right and the left eye image pixels, and an exit side microlens array that condenses the light that has passed through the pixels. The projection lens is provided with a polarized light separating element that causes the polarization directions of image light for the right and the left eyes to be orthogonal to each other. Using one projection-type display apparatus, a highly efficient stereoscopic image can be displayed with little flicker and cross talk of image light for the right eye and for the left eye.
