  • Patent number: 8593575
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a video display apparatus includes a video processing module and a controller. The video processing module is configured to perform signal processing on a video signal to generate a display video signal, and to output the display video signal to a display module. The controller is configured to turn on or off short delay processing mode, and to control the video processing module so that a delay time of the display video signal from the video signal becomes approximately 12 to 17 ms at a minimum when the short delay processing mode is on.

  • Publication number: 20050266924
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes an input unit which inputs a video signal, a tuner section which tunes and demodulates a broadcasting signal to output the video signal, an arithmetic processing unit which performs digital arithmetic processing to the video signal from the input unit or the tuner and outputs the processed video signal, a bypass switching unit which outputs the video signal to a subsequent stage without performing the digital arithmetic processing of the arithmetic processing unit, and a display unit which displays a picture on the basis of one of the processed video signal from the arithmetic processing unit and the video signal outputted by the bypass switching unit without performing the digital arithmetic processing. A video signal from a home video game machine or the like is bypassed from the digital arithmetic processing to reduce uncomfortable feeling caused by delay.

  • Patent number: 5906447
    Abstract: An applicator for the correction of clerical errors or a writing tool such as a ball-point pen or the like is disclosed wherein a tip containing a rotary element, the rotary element being biased into contact with an inward front-end edge of the tip by a coil spring, is connected through a ferrule holder to an ink tank containing a solid-liquid separable ink. The ink is discharged and transferred onto a writing paper by moving the rotary element inwardly from the front-end of the tip against the bias of the coil spring.
