Abstract:
A method of deforming a pattern comprising the steps of forming, over a substrate, a layered-structure with an upper surface including at least one selected region and at least a re-flow stopper groove, wherein the re-flow stopper groove extends outside the selected region and separate from the selected region; selectively forming at least one pattern on the selected region; and causing a re-flow of the pattern, wherein a part of an outwardly re-flowed pattern is flowed into the re-flow stopper groove, and then an outward re-flow of the pattern is restricted by the re-flow stopper groove extending outside of the pattern, thereby to form a deformed pattern with at least an outside edge part defined by an outside edge of the re-flow stopper groove.
Abstract:
A normally-white twisted-nematic mode LCD device includes a first optical compensation film between a light-incident-side polarization film and an LC cell, and a second optical compensation film between a light-emitting-side polarization film and the LC cell. The optical axis of the first (second) optical compensation film projected onto the substrate surface is substantially parallel to the longer axis of an equivalent refractive index ellipsoid of a residual retardation of the LC layer in the vicinity of a light-incident-side (light-emitting-side) substrate upon display of black color.
Abstract:
In a display panel of an active matrix-type liquid crystal display device in an In-Plane Switching mode, a black matrix is formed on the surface of a transparent substrate of a color-filter substrate, the surface being at a side opposed to a TFT substrate. The black matrix is made of a laminated film for which a metal oxide film and a metal film have been alternately laminated in two layers or more. The black matrix has a thickness of 0.2 μm or less and an OD value of 3 or more. Moreover, an electric-field shielding layer made of an ITO film connected to a common electrode is provided on a data line formed on the TFT substrate, via an insulating film. Furthermore, an impurity is doped in a liquid crystal layer so that resistance thereof becomes 1×1011 through 1×1013Ω·cm.

The flexible substrate has a cut-out at each side edge thereof. A protrusion formed on the backlight unit or inner housing passes the cut-out to protrude toward the housing of the LCD device.
Abstract:
A process for forming a pattern contains steps of: forming a first mask pattern on a film to be etched on a substrate; forming a first pattern of the film to be etched by using the first mask pattern as a mask; forming a second mask pattern having a plane shape different from that of the first mask pattern by deforming the first mask pattern; and forming a second pattern of the film to be etched different from the first pattern by using the second mask pattern. By applying the process for forming a pattern, for example, to the formation of a semiconductor layer and source and drain electrodes of a TFT substrate of a liquid crystal display apparatus, the above-stated formation requiring two photoresist process steps in a conventional manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display apparatus can be carried out by only one process step, thereby reducing manufacturing cost thereof.

An LCD device includes therein a splay-oriented LC layer, first and second substrates sandwiching therebetween the LC layer, and an optical compensation film for reducing leakage light upon display of a black color. The optical compensation film has three optical elastic axes including a fast axis coinciding the Y-axis, a slow axis rotated from the X-axis by a positive rotational angle θ1, and another axis rotated from the Z-axis by the positive rotational angle θ1. The positive rotational direction coincides with a counter-clockwise direction within the substrate surface, as viewed from minus side toward the positive side of the Y-axis.

A driving method for a color liquid crystal display which drives the color liquid crystal display based on a video red signal, a video green signal and a video blue signal by independently applying a gamma compensation to a clamped video red signal, a clamped video green signal and a clamped video blue signal in gamma compensating circuits in order to make suitable to a red transmittance characteristic, a green transmittance characteristic and a blue transmittance characteristic. With this operation, it is possible to carry out an optimal gamma compensation suitable to a characteristic of the color liquid crystal display and to remove a gradation batter occurring in a specific color.
Abstract:
A display device comprises a frame buffer which time-divides a frame displaying one picture into multiple sub-frames, an attenuation signal generating circuit which generates an attenuation signal by dividing the inputted luminosity signal by the designated attenuation coefficient, and a signal switching circuit which inputs luminosity signals before division to the antecedent sub-frame in the relevant frame, at the same time, inputs the above-mentioned attenuation signals after division to the subsequent sub-frame. Consequently, such a hold type display device is realized as is able to control the lowering of the picture brightness, as well as, prevent a moving picture from being unclear, blurred or disordered.
