摘要:
A liquid crystal display panel includes an array substrate, a counter-substrate, a liquid crystal layer which is held between the array substrate and the counter-substrate and contains liquid crystal molecules whose alignment state is to be transitioned to a bend alignment for enabling a display operation, a retardation plate which is disposed at least on the counter-substrate, and a polarizer which is disposed on the retardation plate. The array substrate and counter-substrate include a pair of electrodes which are covered with alignment films, respectively, and are opposed to each other to define a rectangular display area, and the polarizer has an absorption axis which is substantially parallel or substantially perpendicular to each of the sides of the display area.

There are disclosed methods for driving liquid crystal display apparatuses for certainly completing in a short time to performing a transition of liquid crystal molecules to a displayable alignment in liquid crystal display apparatuses such that an initial alignment of the liquid crystal molecules is different from the displayable alignment, typically an optically compensated bend mode liquid crystal display apparatus. A voltage is applied to a liquid crystal layer until display area in the liquid crystal layer is transformed to the displayable alignment. After the completion of the transition, a backlight is switched on to shift to a display-driving mode. In order to complete the transition in a short time, voltage pulse under the conditions (such as a frequency and a voltage value) determined in accordance with a temperature of a liquid crystal panel is applied to the liquid crystal layer.

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display element section that is initialized such that the alignment state of liquid crystal molecules is transitioned from a splay alignment to a bend alignment capable of displaying an image, and a driving circuit DR that cyclically applies, after the initialization, to the liquid crystal display element section a reverse transition prevention voltage, which prevents reverse transition from the bend alignment to the splay alignment, and a display voltage corresponding to a display signal supplied externally. In particular, the driving circuit DR is configured to alter a reverse transition prevention driving condition on the basis of a field frequency of the display signal.

An electromagnetic valve of a reduced size capable of suppressing temperature rise of a coil regardless of continuous electrical energization over an extended time while preventing attracting force from lowering includes a coil cooling fluid passage (9a; 8a; 4a) for communicating a coil cooling fluid sump space (2a) with a controlled pressure region for allowing a fluid to flow into the coil cooling fluid sump space (2a) from the controlled pressure region. The coil cooling fluid passage includes a small-diameter communicating passage portion (9a) provided so as not to exert influence to a hydraulic pressure prevailing in the controlled pressure region.

An object of the present invention is to further increase the speed of tilt control while suppressing a useless tilt control operation. Values of focus bias voltages (reference bias values V1 to V6) at a plurality of radial positions P1 to P6 are obtained and stored using a reference disk with a high flatness precision. Prior to a recording and reproducing operation, the values of focus bias voltages (Fo bias values vs1 to vs6) at the radial positions P1 to P6 are obtained, and each of tilt amounts T1 to T6 at the respective radial positions is obtained from a differential value between the reference bias value and the Fo bias value at each radial position. During recording/reproduction, a radial position Pn placed immediately before the recording/reproducing position is detected. Then, tilt control is performed with a tilt amount Tn at the radial position Pn being set as the tilt amount at the recording/reproducing position.

Laser power adjustment is performed using a power calibration area (PCA) until the PCA is used up. After the PCA is used up, an additional PCA is reserved at the next recording start position and laser power adjustment is performed using the additional PCA. When an additional PCA is reserved, the additional PCA exists between an information file recorded this time and the last one of information files recorded previously in terms of a physical format. However, information test-written into the additional PCA is not regarded as an information file and PMA information is generated only from the information file recorded this time by excluding the test-written information. As a result, a situation is obtained in which the additional PCA does not logically exist on the disk and there will never occur an inconvenient situation where the additional PCA is erroneously reproduced at the time of reproduction.

The polymer dispersion type liquid crystal display panel comprises a pair of substrates 10, 11, a polymer dispersion type liquid crystal layer 12 comprising a liquid crystal 18 and a liquid crystalline polymer 17, a driving electrode 7 and an opposite electrode 8. The driving electrode 7 and the opposite electrode 8 are formed on the lower substrate 11, and an electric field is applied approximately in parallel with the above-mentioned lower substrate 11. Under no application of voltage, the above-mentioned liquid crystal 18 and the polymer 17 adjacent to the liquid crystal, which composes an interface, are aligned in approximately the same direction on a plane parallel with the substrates according to an alignment treatment of the substrates, and thereby a transparent state is obtained. Under an application of voltage, the liquid crystal 18 rotates on a plane parallel with the substrates, and the polymer 17 and the liquid crystal 18 are made a disposition state of forming angles on a plane parallel with the substrates, and thereby a scattering state is obtained.
