  • Publication number: 20100060831
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel of the present invention comprise a liquid crystal cell, a first polarizer arranged on one of both sides of the liquid crystal cell, and a second polarizer arranged on the other side of the liquid crystal cell, wherein at least one of the first and the second polarizers is dyed with a dichroic material, and the dichroic ratio thereof is from 40 to 100. At least one of the polarizers preferably has a polarization degree of 99% or more and a single transmittance of 35% to 45%. Further, at least one of the polarizers preferably exhibits the following birefringence: ?nxy is from 0.015 to 0.030. The liquid crystal panel of the present invention has the above polarizers, therefore the liquid crystal panel attains high contrast ratio in oblique directions and excellent display characteristics.

  • Patent number: 7643118
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel of the present invention includes at least a liquid crystal cell, a first polarizer disposed on one side of the liquid crystal cell, a second polarizer disposed on the other side of the liquid crystal cell and a retardation film (A) disposed between the liquid crystal cell and the first polarizer, wherein the retardation film (A) contains a thermoplastic polymer having at least a substituent (a) represented by the following formula (I) and its in-plane retardation value (Re[750]) at a wavelength of 750 nm is larger than its retardation value (Re[550]) at a wavelength of 550 nm. The liquid crystal panel has such an effect that it reduces coloring of characters or images and a color shift even if a screen is viewed from any direction at an angle range of 360°.

  • Patent number: 6971095
    Abstract: A reception unit receives resource information transmitted through a network and constituted by a resource for version-up and an application program which applies the resource and stores the resource information in an operation region of a storage device. A decision unit decides whether an application occasion of the resource stored has come or not. When it is decided that the application occasion has come, an execution unit performs a process of copying the resource information in a maintenance region of the storage device and making the maintenance region valid in the next boot-up operation of a system.
