  • Publication number: 20100201618
    Abstract: A user interface including a display driver and a control unit having a rotatable actuator. The display driver is configured to cause a display to display a plurality of selectable categories in a main array extending in a first direction, to display, for at least one of the categories, a respective plurality of selectable subcategories in a respective subarray extending in a second direction different to the first direction, to selectively highlight one of the categories and subcategories and to move highlighting between adjacent categories or subcategories in response to rotation of the rotatable actuator. The control unit includes an orientation sensor configured to detect whether the control unit is in a first orientation or a second orientation.

  • Publication number: 20080104635
    Abstract: A receiver apparatus, having a receiver unit selectively configured to receive a television signal of any one of a plurality of channels, provides a display of a channel listing comprising an array of representations of channels arranged in two dimensions. Responsive to navigational user inputs a cursor marking a representation of a channel on the displayed channel listing is moved in directions in the two dimensions. The receiver unit is controlled to receive the television signal of the channel marked by the cursor, either in response to a channel selection user input or after a predetermined time. The two dimensional channel listing allows for more speedy navigation.

  • Publication number: 20060139576
    Abstract: A projection type display apparatus employing a liquid-cooled cathode-ray tube apparatus that copes with the leakage of cooling liquid. The projection type display apparatus employs a liquid-cooled cathode-ray tube apparatus provided with a liquid-cooling unit in which cooling liquid to cool the front panel of a cathode-ray tube is sealed. A tray is provided on the lower side of the liquid-cooling unit in the liquid-cooled cathode-ray tube apparatus to prevent the leaked cooling liquid from dripping onto a circuit board, a high-voltage wiring, and the like.
