    摘要: External light is introduced by a light-introducing portion to be used as a light source for a backlight, so that the power consumption of the backlight of a liquid crystal display device can be suppressed. At the same time, the brightness of the screen of the liquid crystal display device can be increased to enhance the visibility in outdoors. Therefore, the portability of a mobile information terminal can be improved. Furthermore, the light-introducing portion covers an end portion of the main unit opposed to an axis, whereby the main unit is protected so that the life period of the mobile information terminal can be prolonged. The variety of the design of the mobile information terminal can be increased by using the transparency of the light-introducing portion.

    摘要: There is provided an image information process apparatus to be applied to a display for displaying bit image display data for each pixel, for enabling the display to display continuous tones in an error diffusion manner based on P bit image data, P being larger than L. This apparatus includes a plurality of adding circuits to which a plurality of P bit image data are concurrently supplied. A predetermined lower bit of an added result at respective adding circuits is used as error data supplied to the next adjacent adding circuit. An error data holding circuit holds a predetermined lower bit of an output from an adding circuit corresponding to the last column pixel in image data supplied. It then supplies the lower bit held to an adding circuit corresponding to the top front column pixel of the image data supplied. With this arrangement, a display which is capable of displaying images based on digital data of a limited number of bits displays in a pseudo manner continuous tones expressed using a higher number of bits than the limited number. In addition, performance and processing speed of image information processing are improved.

    摘要: An improved liquid crystal display device of the type having a liquid crystal display panel, a light guide plate below a surface of the display panel and located between a reflecting portion and a diffusing portion, and a light collecting lens located at one end of the light guide plate for collecting and transmitting light to the light guide plate for providing backlight to the display panel. The display device includes a light transmitter located between the light collecting lens and the light guide plate. The light transmitter optically connects the light collecting lens and the light guide plate and separates the light collecting lens from the display panel by a predetermined difference. The light transmitter allows light to be more evenly distributed or reflected onto the display panel so that images displayed on the panel have a more uniform brightness.

    摘要: In the &ggr; correction circuit, a crossover point arithmetic processing unit performs arithmetic processing for each region on crossover points y in the output data direction of a &ggr; correction crossover line based on a plurality of slope data A respectively specified for each of a plurality of regions and crossover point positions X in the input data direction set in advance. A 5-to-4 encoder and a selector select one of a plurality of slope data A respectively specified for each of a plurality of regions and one result B of the results y of arithmetic processing on said crossover points based on the upper bits of input data, a flag encoder and another selector calculate the difference &Dgr;X from a crossover point position in the input data direction to the input data in the region to which input data belongs, and an arithmetic processing unit multiples the above difference &Dgr;X by the selected slope A, adds the multiplication result to the value of the selected crossover point position B in the output data direction, and outputs that value as a &ggr; correction value. Consequently, even if the number of crossover lines for digital &ggr; correction increases, arithmetic processing is simplified. When an image data processing apparatus is used, a pseudo gray scale processing circuit may be provided in a later stage of this &ggr; correction circuit to decrease the number of data bits.

A light collector is located at one end of the light guide plate and has an exposed surface for receiving ambient light. The light collector has a reflector secured inside it. The received ambient light is reflected by the reflector along the light guide plate. The reflector may include three arcuate shaped reflecting elements. The light guide plate has a reflective surface which reflects the light toward the liquid crystal display panel.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus detects, in step 1, whether or not differences between currently supplied image data and image data of a previous pixel are more than a predetermined value m, and identifies a border of a computer-created image or a natural image, where a brightness level differs from the remaining area of the image, when the differences are more than the predetermined value m. Conversely, when the differences are less than the predetermined value m, the image processing apparatus checks, in step 2, whether image data at a pixel before and a pixel two before the current pixel are identical with respect to the color components constituting the color image. When the differences are not all zero, it is checked whether or not the image data at a pixel before the current pixel and the image data at the current pixel are all zero. When the image data are not identical, the color image is identified as being a natural image. When the image data are identical, the color image is identified as being a computer-created image. In step 3, the computer-created image is checked as to whether it is a 2-pixel checkered image.

    摘要: A driving circuit of a display device such as a liquid crystal generates power supply clocks (1 and 2) based on a system clock during the normal display operation which is not a power save mode. The generated power supply clocks are supplied, directly or after inversion, to the switches (SW1 through SW4 (and SW5 through SW8)) in a charge pump type power supply circuit (300) for switching the connection of capacitors (C1 and C2 (and C11 and C12)) in the power supply circuit (300). In this manner, supply voltages VDD2 and VDD3 which function as the driving power supply for a driving circuit (100) and a display panel (200) can be obtained at the power supply circuit (300) by boosting the input voltage Vin. The driving circuit (100) stops supply of the power supply clocks to the power supply circuit (300) when a transition to the power save mode is instructed and a power save control signal generated by a CPU I/F circuit (16) is changed, thereby suspending generation of the supply voltage an consumption of power consumption at the circuit and display panel.
