Abstract:
An enhanced frame buffet pixel circuit with two control transistors and a separate capacitor put in as a memory capacitor before the memory transistor yields a high contrast ratio by removing induced charge and solving a charge sharing problem between the memory capacitor and the liquid crystal display (LCD) capacitor. The memory transistor may be made of either CMOS or PMOS. The frame buffer pixel can be used to drive binary displays which expresses ON and OFF only if a comparator is put in after the pixel electrode circuit to represent gray levels with reduced sub-frame frequency.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device having a pair of substrate assemblies and a pattern of electrodes that define active and inactive areas of the display. Spacer elements are disposed only in inactive areas of the display to maintain a uniform predetermined cell gap between the substrate assemblies for the liquid crystal material. Some of the spacers are adhesive to provide shock resistance for the device.

Abstract:
A concentrate container that is coupled to a drinking container having an output for discharging a drink is proposed. The concentrate container has a chamber in which a concentrate is kept, an outlet through which a concentrate is put into the drinking container, and a container mouth for discharging a liquid mixture of the concentrate and a drink to the outside when the drinking container and the concentrate container are combined. The inner diameter of the concentrate container outlet is determined to be fitted on the drinking container outlet, a thread is formed inside the concentrate container outlet, and the thread is engaged with a thread of the drinking container outlet.
Abstract:
A portable computer includes an adjuster for varying the throw distance of a projected image. The computer include a housing, a screen connected to the housing, and an image projector coupled to the housing in alignment with the screen. The screen has at least one size dimension that is different from a corresponding size dimension of the housing. In order to achieve the reduced size dimension, the screen may be foldable into a predetermined number of sections. The adjuster varies throw distance by moving the screen relative to the projector. The movement may be manually or automatically initiated and the screen may be adapted to be stored within the device housing when not in use.

Abstract:
A method for generating a grayscale representation for a display combines analog and digital techniques to produce images of optimal quality. The grayscale representation is not limited by frame frequency compared to digital techniques and not limited by small voltage differences between pixel electrodes. In the method, a frame is first divided into sub-frames of most significant bits and least significant bits. The sub-frame time can either be weighted or uniform. An analog voltage is then applied to the sub-frames to produce a reduced grayscale. The number of sub-frames and the brightness are two parameters that can be optimized for a best possible display result.
