Abstract:
A display device is disclosed which is capable of suppressing characteristic changes due to a long period of conduction, thereby achieving high-quality video display, and also to provide a drive method therefor. In at least one embodiment, while sequentially activating n first scanning signal line groups G1(1) to G1(n), a predetermined voltage, which is the same as a voltage for turning off a thin-film transistor included in each pixel formation portion in that the polarity thereof is negative and is at a higher level than that voltage, is applied simultaneously to n second scanning signal line groups G2(1) to G2(n). Thereafter, while sequentially activating the n second scanning signal line groups G2(1) to G2(n), the predetermined voltage is applied simultaneously to the n first scanning signal line groups G1(1) to G1(n). By repeating this, charges accumulated in the vicinity of the thin-film transistors are eliminated, thereby suppressing changes in off characteristics thereof. At least one embodiment of the present invention is suitable for matrix display devices intended for a long period of use.

The cam member 5 having (1) an unlocking cam part 5b for unlocking the lock spring 3 by dropping the free-side hook 3b from the hook-supporting part 12 into the hook-fitting part 13 when the armrest body 7 is rotated in the armrest-accommodating direction, and (2) a relocking cam part 5c for locking the lock spring 3 by raising the free-side hook 3b from the hook-fitting part 13 and supporting it by the hook-supporting part 12 when the armrest body 7 is rotated in the armrest-use direction.
Abstract:
In an electrode-membrane-frame assembly production method, a principal part is formed by an electrolyte membrane, first and second catalyst layers and first and second gas diffusion layers, with the first and second gas diffusion layers arranged with their outer circumferences at different positions. The principal part is arranged in a molding die with a circumferential region of the principal part disposed on a flat region of a primary molded body. A circumferential portion of one of the gas diffusion layers is arranged to oppose a flat region of the primary molded body so that the membrane is interposed between the circumferential portion and the flat region. Subsequently, a secondary molded body is formed to integrate with the primary molded body and the principal part.
Abstract:
Provided is a hierarchical arbitration device wherein an arbitration device at each level of the hierarchy selects a resource use request having the highest priority and a resource use request having the second highest priority, outputting these two resource use requests to the arbitration device that is one level higher. After outputting the memory use request having the highest priority to a resource control unit as the top priority resource use request, when the arbitration device at the highest level of the hierarchy receives a signal from the memory control unit indicating receipt of the resource use request, the arbitration device then selects the resource use request having the second highest priority and outputs this resource request as the next top priority resource use request.
Abstract:
A shutter drive device includes a base member, an actuator, a first drive member, and a second drive member. The actuator is fixed to the base member and produces a driving force to drive the shutter mechanism. The first drive member is rotatably supported by the base member and configured to be rotated by the driving force. The second drive member is supported by the base member so as to be linearly movable in a first direction and configured to transmit the driving force of the actuator to the shutter mechanism. The first drive member has a gear component to drive the second drive member in the first direction, and a cam component configured to hold the second drive member in a specific position. The second drive member has a rack gear configured to mesh with the gear component, and a cam follower configured to contact the cam component.
Abstract:
A chip is layered on a rewiring member. A plurality of connecting members and a plurality of redundant connecting members are arranged in the chip, and electrically connect the chip to the rewiring member. Redundant circuits are embedded in each of the rewiring member and the chip. When one of the connecting members is faulty, the redundant circuits cause one of the redundant connecting members to transmit a signal between the rewiring member and the chip, instead of the faulty connecting member. The connecting members have first and second subsets arranged in first and second regions, respectively. A distance between the rewiring member and the chip exceeds a predetermined threshold value in the first region in contrast to the second region. The first subset has a higher proportion of connecting members that the redundant circuits can replace with a subset of the redundant connecting members than the second subset.

Abstract:
A worst-case temperature calculation unit 206 calculates, based on heat value information of each layer of a three-dimensional integrated circuit to be designed and stack structure information of the three-dimensional integrated circuit, a worst-case temperature of a layer during operation that is targeted for logic synthesis. A logic synthesis library selection unit 208 selects a library appropriate for the calculated worst-case temperature. A logic synthesis unit 209 performs logic synthesis on the targeted layer with use of the selected library.
