  • Publication number: 20170069247
    Abstract: The liquid crystal drive apparatus controls application of a first or second voltage to each pixel of a liquid crystal element in respective sub-frame periods in one frame period to cause that pixel to form a tone. The sub-frame period where the first voltage is applied to the pixel is referred to as an ON period, the sub-frame period where the second voltage is applied to the pixel is referred to as an OFF period. The sub-frame period corresponding to the ON and OFF periods respectively for first and second pixels of two mutually adjacent pixels is referred to as an ON/OFF adjacent period. The apparatus provides, when causing the first and second pixels to form tones adjacent to each other, a plurality of the ON/OFF adjacent periods each being 1.0 ms or less separately from each other in the one frame period.

    Abstract: The liquid crystal drive apparatus controls application of a first or second voltage to each pixel of a liquid crystal element in respective multiple sub-frame periods included in one frame period to cause that pixel to form a tone. The sub-frame period where the first voltage is applied to the pixel is referred to as an ON period, and the sub-frame period where the second voltage is applied to the pixel is referred to as an OFF period. The apparatus provide, when causing the pixel to form the tone using the ON period, multiple ON period sets separately from each other in the one frame period. Each ON period set includes one or more ON periods. The apparatus sets a temporal interval between temporal centers of the respective ON period sets to 60% or less of the one frame period or to 5.0 ms or less.

  • Patent number: 8128731
    Abstract: A method for separating and enriching isotopes in an efficient and low-cost manner from a condensation-system (liquid or/and solid) material including two or more different isotopes by taking advantage of the sedimentation of atoms through an acceleration field by ultra-high speed rotation. The condensation-system material is placed in a sedimentation tank which is then housed in a supercentrifuge. The supercentrifuge in its rotor is rotation driven by an ultra-high speed rotation power source, and an acceleration field of energy of 100000 G to 1500000 G, i.e., about 100 to 800 m/s in terms of peripheral velocity, is applied to the above condensed (liquid or/and solid) material under such a temperature that is specified by an isotope material to be enriched. In this case, a difference in centrifugal force applied is provided between the isotopes in the condensed (liquid or/and solid) material comprising the at least two isotopes.
