摘要:
Video object units are generated from a program stream. The generated video object units have navigation portions respectively, and compose video objects. The navigation portions are void of ending time information and search information. The video object units are sequentially recorded on the recording disc without being buffered. Ending time information and search information are detected from the program stream. A decision is made as to whether or not the recording of video object units composing one video object has been completed. Navigation information is generated which includes the ending time information and the search information, and which corresponds to the last recorded video object. The generated navigation information is recorded on zones in the recording disc which correspond to the navigation portions of the video object units composing the last recorded video object each time the recording of video object units composing one video object has been completed.

A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate having a plurality of pixel electrodes formed thereon in a matrix fashion, a second substrate having a common electrode formed thereon as facing the pixel electrodes with a specific gap, a liquid crystal filled in the gap, and a multi-layered optical film formed on the pixel electrodes. The multi-layered optical film has a first optical film that exhibits a first refractive index, a second optical film formed on the first optical film, the second optical film exhibiting a second refractive index higher than the first refractive index, and a third optical film formed on the second optical film, the third optical film exhibiting a specific resistance ranging from 1×109 Ωcm to 8×1012 Ωcm.
摘要:
An optical disc of a recordable type or a rewritable type has a plurality of recording layers including first and second recording layers. A laser beam is applied to the second recording layer through a used area in the first recording layer to record arbitrary information on at least a part of the second recording layer. The used area in the first recording layer has been used for at least one of information recording and data recording. Positional information is generated. The generated positional information is of a blank area in the second recording layer which occurs due to the presence of an unused area in the first recording layer. The blank area adjoins the unused area. The generated positional information is recorded on a predetermined area in the optical disc.

An apparatus for recording and reproducing an information signal on and from an optical disc includes a memory. The information signal is written into the memory. The information signal is read out from the memory. An optical head generates a laser beam in response to the readout information signal, and applies the laser beam to the optical disc to record the readout information signal on the optical disc. A test signal is recorded on a position of the optical disc near a recording position thereof via the optical head during the writing of the information signal into the memory. The test signal is reproduced from the optical disc. The reproduced test signal is evaluated to generate an evaluation result. An intensity of the laser beam is optimized in response to the evaluation result.

An optical disc with a first recording layer has first data pits that include 14T data pits formed thereon in compliance with DVD-ROM specifications. A first reflective film is formed on the first recording layer, whereby the first reflective film has the relationship of 2.3≦Pw/Tf≦14 between the 14T pit width and the first reflective film thickness. The disc also includes a second recording layer having a first surface and an opposed second surface, whereupon second data pits are formed on the first surface in compliance with BD-ROM specifications. A second semi-transparent reflective film is formed on the second recording layer, while a transparent layer having opposed third and fourth surfaces is formed over the second reflective film at the third surface, such that the fourth surface allows a laser beam to pass therethrough in reproduction from either the first or second data pits.

Disclosed is an electronic service manual display program that eliminates the need to revise an electronic service manual when there is a revision, and enables the respective contents before and after revision to be browsed at the same time. The inventive technique utilizes a parts table database that has information for the various parts used for a predetermined product, and a differential parts table database that has processed information representing the types of alteration, deletion and addition for each of the parts. A parts table page is generated and displays a list of all the parts and the information of the parts stored in the parts table database and the differential parts table database. Accordingly, whether a part has been altered, deleted and/or added can be immediately identified.

A reflective liquid crystal display device combined with an optical system with a wire grid is provided for light modulation by a liquid crystal layer. This layer, made of nematic liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy, is formed such that first and second orientation directions on first and second substrates are rotated by “60±α” and “60±β” degrees in first and second rotating directions starting from a reference direction, respectively. The first and second rotating directions are mutually opposite, the reference direction is parallel to the first and second substrates and within in an angular range defined by a central angle plus ±5 degrees wherein the central angle is ±45 degrees from an oscillation direction of incident polarized light, and a relationship of |α|+|β|≦10 (α and β are zero or positive integers) is fulfilled.
摘要:
One of (1) a signal reproduced from a recording medium by a pickup device and (2) control information related to the reproduced signal is searched in a first search range for first information. A trial is made for detecting an optimum condition of a reproducing operation of the pickup device with respect to the recording medium on the basis of the first information. In cases where detecting an optimum condition of the reproducing operation of the pickup device with respect to the recording medium on the basis of the first information has been unsuccessful, one of (1) the reproduced signal and (2) the control information related to the reproduced signal is searched in a second search range different from the first search range for second information. An optimum condition of the reproducing operation of the pickup device is detected on the basis of the second information.

A compressively-encoding-resultant video signal resulting from compressively encoding a video signal, a first compressively-encoding-resultant audio signal resulting from compressively encoding a first audio signal having a synchronized relation with the video signal, a reference clock information signal relating to synchronization between the compressively-encoding-resultant video signal and the first compressively-encoding-resultant audio signal, and an indication timing information signal designating an indication timing of the video signal are multiplexed to get an AV multiplexing-resultant signal. A second audio signal is compressively encoded to get a second compressively-encoding-resultant audio signal. A sound-production-timing information signal is added to the second compressively-encoding-resultant audio signal to get a substitution playback audio signal. During playback, the substitution playback audio signal can be reproduced instead of the first audio signal while being synchronous with the video signal. The sound-production-timing information signal responds to the reference clock information signal, and relates to synchronization with the video signal.
