Abstract: In a display system in an excavator, a position of an upper boundary line and a position of a lower boundary line are calculated. The upper boundary line indicates a height of a top of a cross section of a display object surface. The lower boundary line indicates a height of a bottom of the cross section of the display object surface. When the current position of the excavator is between the upper boundary line and the lower boundary line, a predetermined reference point of a display range is set to a predetermined position between the upper and lower boundary lines. When the current position of the excavator is above the upper boundary line, the reference point is set above the predetermined position. When the current position of the excavator is below the lower boundary line, the reference point is set below the predetermined position.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device performing alternating-current driving, at least one of a gate voltage amplitude Vgp?p(p) upon application of a positive polarity voltage and a gate voltage amplitude Vgp?p(n) upon application of a negative polarity voltage is changed in accordance with a liquid crystal driving frequency. Thus, an effective value of a liquid crystal application voltage in a positive polarity is set to be equal to an effective value of a liquid crystal application voltage in a negative polarity irrespective of the liquid crystal driving frequency, so that flicker is prevented from occurring when the liquid crystal driving frequency is switched. As the liquid crystal driving frequency is low, a gate low voltage Vgln after application of the negative polarity voltage is set to be low. Thus, a leak current from a TFT is reduced in the negative polarity, and a liquid crystal element is improved in voltage holding ratio.

Abstract: A bonding tool holds a lower chip against a release tape held by a suction force. The bonding tool has an electronic-component suction opening against which the lower chip is held and, surrounding the electronic-component suction opening, a trench that accommodates the release tape. The lower chip is heated, by being pressed against an underfill material and, thus, an area on which an upper chip is mounted is formed in such a manner that the underfill material protrudes out from the lower chip. During the heating, because an expanded part of the release tape, expanded due to heat, is inserted into the trench, no folded line is formed on the upper surface of the underfill material.
