  • Patent number: 11990502
    Abstract: To provide a display device capable of performing image processing. Each pixel is provided with a memory circuit in which desired correction data is retained. The correction data is generated by calculation in an external device and written to each pixel. The correction data is added to image data by capacitive coupling and supplied to a display element. Thus, the display element can display a corrected image. Through the correction, image upconversion can be performed, or image quality decreased because of variations in pixel transistor characteristics can be corrected.

  • Patent number: 11959165
    Abstract: There have been cases where transistors formed using oxide semiconductors are inferior in reliability to transistors formed using amorphous silicon. Thus, in the present invention, a semiconductor device including a highly reliable transistor formed using an oxide semiconductor is manufactured. An oxide semiconductor film is deposited by a sputtering method, using a sputtering target including an oxide semiconductor having crystallinity, and in which the direction of the c-axis of a crystal is parallel to a normal vector of the top surface of the oxide semiconductor. The target is formed by mixing raw materials so that its composition ratio can obtain a crystal structure.

  • Patent number: 6074729
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 1A is for use by sticking onto a liquid crystal cell, and it has a construction wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is joined to one side of the base material layer 2 which is constructed with a light-polarizing sheet and a release sheet 4 stuck onto the other side from the base material layer 2 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3.
