An object is to provide a display device with excellent display characteristics, where a pixel circuit and a driver circuit provided over one substrate are formed using transistors which have different structures corresponding to characteristics of the respective circuits. The driver circuit portion includes a driver circuit transistor in which a gate electrode layer, a source electrode layer, and a drain electrode layer are formed using a metal film, and a channel layer is formed using an oxide semiconductor. The pixel portion includes a pixel transistor in which a gate electrode layer, a source electrode layer, and a drain electrode layer are formed using an oxide conductor, and a semiconductor layer is formed using an oxide semiconductor. The pixel transistor is formed using a light-transmitting material, and thus, a display device with higher aperture ratio can be manufactured.

A conductive film containing aluminum or an aluminum alloy with a thickness equal to or greater than 1 μm and equal to or less than 10 μm is etched by wet-etching to be a predetermined thickness, and then etched by dry-etching, whereby side-etching of the conductive film can be suppressed and thickness reduction of a mask can be suppressed. The suppression of side-etching of the conductive film and the suppression of thickness reduction of the mask enable a conductive film containing aluminum or an aluminum alloy even with a large thickness equal to or greater than 1 μm and equal to or less than 10 μm to be etched such that the gradient of the edge portion of the conductive film can be steep, a predetermined thickness of the conductive film can be obtained, and shape difference from a mask pattern can be suppressed.

摘要:
A method of encoding information of an input signal using a fixed number of bits for each unit time frame. Part of the encoded information of at least one second frame temporally consecutively or non-consecutively preceding or following a first frame is contained in the encoded information of the first frame. This eliminates fluctuations in the sound quality due to bit surplus/shortage resulting from quantization for achieving efficient encoding and decoding.
摘要:
The input signal of one of the plural channels is converted by a converting circuit into frequency components which are separated into tonal components and noise components in a signal comment separating circuit. The tonal components and the signal components are encoded by a tonal component encoding circuit and a noise component encoding circuit, respectively. The amount of bytes allocated to the noise components in the respective channels is determined by a byte allocation circuit based upon time changes of the sum of the scale factors of the respective channels.
摘要:
A signal encoding method and apparatus by which a high encoding efficiency may be achieved by encoding tonal components of plural channels by exploiting channel-to-channel characteristics. The encoding of separately encoding first signals of plural channels is selectively changed over to the encoding of encoding the first signals of plural channels in common or vice versa depending on the results of detection of characteristics of the first signals of plural channels. The compression ratio may be improved if the first signals are encoded in common, while ill effects due to encoding in common may be avoided by separately encoding the first signals of plural channels.
摘要:
A data recording and/or reproducing device for recording and/or reproducing data on or from a recording medium includes information concerning the recording method used for recording data on a recording medium, that is the encoding/decoding instruction data is recorded on the recording medium along with the data. Using the encoding/decoding instruction on the recording medium, specifically the decoding instruction, the data on the recording medium is restored by a DSP. The data recording and/or reproducing device enables data processed with an inconvenient system or an older model system to be restored easily and inexpensively.
摘要:
Apparatus for recording an information signal as bit-compressed digital data. The apparatus comprises a bit compressor and a recording system. The bit compressor receives the information signal as digital data. The digital data include bits, and the bits include redundant bits. The bit compressor compresses the digital data by removing only the redundant bits from the digital data to generate the bit-compressed digital data at a variable bit rate. The redundant bits are bits that result in a quantizing noise level lower than an allowed noise level at which the quantizing noise is imperceptible to a human auditory sense. The allowable noise level is determined by a masking threshold and a minimum audibility limit. The recording system receives the bit-compressed digital data from the bit compressor and records the bit-compressed data on a recording medium.
摘要:
In a speech synthesizing apparatus, importance degree information indicative of a degree of importance with respect to each text portion of input original text data is added to this text portion. Then, the original text data with such importance degree information is input. When a rapid reading process, or a head searching process is carried out for the original text input, speech synthesis is carried out by controlling several stages which text portion should be skipped, or at which speed, the text portions should be synthesized, in response to a speed instruction and importance degree information which are being input into the speech synthesizing apparatus.
摘要:
Continuous data is divided into a plurality of portions and then recorded on a recording medium such as a magnetic tape or the like so that, even when a recording medium is exchanged, the divided data thus recorded can be continuously reproduced. During a period in which a recording head is moved to a second recording position after the recording at a first recording position is ended, corresponding data reproduced from a recording medium even when the recording medium is exchanged is written in a memory means in which an input signal applied to an input terminal is written.
