20110042675 | Display device and manufacturing method thereof - An etching resist including first and second portions, the first portion being thicker than the second portion, is formed on a metallic layer. Through the etching resist, a semiconductor layer and the metallic layer are patterned by etching so as to form a wiring from the metallic layer and leave the semiconductor layer under the wiring. An electrical test is conducted on the wiring. The second portion is removed while the first portion is left unremoved. Selective etching is performed through the first portion so as to leave the semiconductor layer unetched to pattern the wiring to be divided into drain and source electrodes. A substrate is cut. In patterning the wiring, the wiring is etched to be cut at a position closer to a cutting line of the substrate with respect to the drain and source electrodes, while leaving the semiconductor layer unetched. | 02-24-2011 |

20080278628 | CONTENT DISPLAY DEVICE, CONTENT DISPLAY METHOD, CONTENT DISPLAY SYSTEM, CONTENT DISPLAY PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - In a television, a single screen is split into a plurality of split-screens, and content displayed is different for each of the split-screens. In the television, the content selecting section selects content assigned in advance with each of the split-screens. A display section displays the content thus selected, on a corresponding one of the split-screens in a display. For example, a first split-screen displays a television program while a second split-screen displays a web page containing information on the television program. When a screen mode (pattern of split-screen) is changed, content corresponding to the screen modes is selected again and displayed. By the foregoing way, the content is displayed in a state suitable for respective split-screens. | 11-13-2008 |

This makes it possible to realize an image data providing apparatus, which causes an image display apparatus to display an image in a predetermined display size. | 01-01-2009 |
20090009511 | IMAGE-DATA DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE-DATA OUTPUT DEVICE, AND IMAGE-DATA DISPLAY METHOD - An image-data display system includes: a display-related-information acquiring unit that acquires a display size of an object image including a plane projection image of a three-dimensional object; an output-image-data generating unit that acquires instruction image data indicative of two positions in the plane projection image displayed in the object image, a length between the two positions being actual size when the object image is displayed according to the display size; and a display device that displays the object image according to the display size, and executes display processing based on the instruction image data. | 01-08-2009 |
20100328347 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE, IMAGE DATA TRANSMITTING DEVICE, IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM STORING AN IMAGE DISPLAY PROGRAM, IMAGE DATA TRANSMISSION PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING THE IMAGE DATA TRANSMISSION PROGRAM - Upon receipt of operation entry for processing and editing a currently displayed slide, an operation information generating section generates operation information corresponding to this entry. An operation information reflecting section performs editing on the basis of the operation information and stores the operation information regarding the editing in a storage section. Upon receipt of slide data from the server device, the operation information reflecting section reads operation information of the past regarding this slide data, and generates a display screen in such a manner that editing corresponding to the read operation information is reflected in the received slide data. This makes it possible to display slide data stored in the server device on an image display device in a manner that a user wants, without increasing load on the server device. | 12-30-2010 |

20090051780 | Digital camera with a mode selectable structure - A digital camera has a shutter release button. A mode selector sets a selected one of a regular photographing mode and a macro photographing mode adapted to image pickup at a nearer distance of close-up than the regular photographing mode. An LCD display panel as a user interface has an alarm generating region which outputs an alarm signal visually as an enlarged alarm icon, and/or a sound source as a user interface audibly outputs sound of alarm message voice. A controller is responsive to depression of the shutter release button, for mode discernment by checking a state of the mode selector. The LCD and/or sound source is driven if the macro photographing mode is set selectively. | 02-26-2009 |

20080266506 | Liquid Crystal Display Device - The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can enhance the accuracy in feeding back a common potential applied to common voltage supply lines. A display panel includes a common bus line electrically connected to common electrodes and formed annularly on a periphery of the display region, a common sensing line for feeding back a voltage of the common bus line to a control printed circuit board, a scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line for supplying electricity for driving a scanning signal drive circuit, and a common-voltage-supply-use line for supplying a common voltage to the common bus line. The common-voltage-supply-use line, the common sensing line and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line are formed along one side of the display panel to which at least the scanning signal drive circuit is connected. The common sensing line is formed between the common-voltage-supply-use line and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line on one side of the display panel. | 10-30-2008 |
20090033609 | Display Device - The present invention provides a technique which can prevent the disconnection of lines in the vicinity of terminal portions formed on an end portion of a TFT substrate of a liquid crystal display panel. Terminal portions for supplying electric signals to scanning lines are formed on a TFT substrate. Auxiliary lines and connection lines are formed between the terminal portions and the scanning lines in order from the terminal portions. A line width of the auxiliary line is set to 20 μm or more and the auxiliary lines extend to a region where the TFT substrate is covered with the color filter substrate. Although the connection lines connect the auxiliary lines and the scanning lines, for making the resistances from the terminal portions uniform, a line width of the connection line at a center portion of a flexible printed circuit board is set to a small value and a line width of the connection line at a peripheral portion of the flexible printed circuit board is set to a large value. At the center portion of the flexible printed circuit board, the line width of the connection line is set smaller than a line width of the auxiliary line. Due to such a constitution, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the disconnection in the vicinity of the terminal portions attributed to a glass debris or the like. | 02-05-2009 |
