A stator includes a longitudinal-vibration sensing electrode. The stator also includes a torsional-vibration sensing piezoelectric element and a torsional-vibration sensing electrode plate for sensing torsional vibrations. A voltage signal from the torsional-vibration sensing electrode plate or a voltage signal from the longitudinal-vibration sensing electrode is sensed. Then, a drive voltage signal for driving the stator is generated in a self-excited oscillation drive circuit in such a manner that an actual vibrational frequency of the stator substantially coincides with a resonance frequency. Thereafter, the generated drive voltage signal is applied between a drive electrode and each one of first and second electrode plates.

A video display device is described, which is capable of easily correcting variations in luminous brightness of each display element. When a video display part is comprised of a plurality of display units including a plurality of display elements, respective correction data for correcting the variations in luminous brightness of the individual display elements are supplied to memory means. When the display elements are driven, the correction data is supplied to their corresponding drivers. In doing so, the display elements can be driven in a corrected state of the variations in luminous brightness. Even when a unit cell comprising display elements is replaced by another and brightness level is re-adjusted, new correction data relative to it is updated. Said updated correction data may simply be stored in the same memory means. Thus, the variations in luminous brightness can be easily corrected even when the unit cell is replaced by another and re-adjusted.
摘要:
An ultrasonic motor having a stator in which at least a longitudinal vibration is generated and a rotor rotatably mounted on the stator. Slanted slits are formed on the cylindrical surface of the rotor, which convert a part of the longitudinal vibration in the stator into a twisting vibration that gives the rotor a rotational force. The slits are slanted to the rotational direction of the rotor. The rotor is rotated at a higher speed because of the slits. The form of the slits may be selectively varied according to desired characteristics of the ultrasonic motor.
