Abstract: The silicon nitride film-forming method includes a step of supplying a gas material including silane gas, ammonia gas and an inert gas in such a manner that a flow rate of the inert gas is 1 to 10 times a total flow rate of the silane gas and the ammonia gas, and a step of carrying out inductively coupled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to form a silicon nitride film. The silicon nitride film which is high in density and exhibits good water vapor barrier properties is formed even at a low film deposition temperature.

Abstract: The silicon nitride film-forming method includes a step of supplying a gas material including silane gas, ammonia gas and nitrogen gas in such a manner that a flow rate of the nitrogen gas is 0.2 to 20 times a total flow rate of the silane gas and the ammonia gas, and a step of carrying out inductively coupled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to form a silicon nitride film.

Abstract: By using program information, the amount of which to be transmitted is not fixed, and related information which is related to the expected amount of the main information, an area for recording main information is ensured in advance on a recording medium. This ensures a reliable recording of a program, the recording of which has already been reserved, without affecting any program which has already been recorded. In addition, even when a change occurs in related information before or after the start of recording information on the recording medium, an area assigned before the start of the recording can be changed corresponding to related information after the change.

Abstract: A display section displays a speedometer having a substantially circular shape on an outer circumference of which a speed scale is provided. Then, that point on the outer circumference of the speedometer which indicates a speed at a moment is calculated. Further a speed that is attained at a given time period (e.g. 0.5 second) after the moment if the speed is increased at an acceleration at the moment is calculated. An arc-shaped pointer is displayed, the arc-shaped pointer passing (i) the calculated point of the speed scale, (ii) a middle point between the calculated point of the speed scale and a center of the speedometer, and (iii) the center of the speedometer. With this arrangement, a display device displaying the speedometer allows a driver to easily recognize the speed and an amount of a change therein (i.e. acceleration).

Abstract: An onboard display device in accordance with the present invention includes a display section (11) attached to an instrument panel of a vehicle. The section (11) has a second display area (11b) and a first display area (11a). The second display area (11b) shows at least the speed as vehicle condition images indicating the conditions of the vehicle. The first display area (11a) shows a navigation image and other secondary images. The display section (11) measures greater in width than in height with an aspect ratio of 7:3 or greater. The aspect ratio is the width/height ratio of a display area. The onboard display device allows for a visibility-improved simultaneous display of the secondary image, such as a navigation image, and the vehicle condition image, such as a speed display, which presents information on the conditions of the vehicle.

Abstract: A display screen of an onboard display device is disposed so that a speedometer is displayed in front of a driver of a vehicle. When a right-turn instruction is detected, a blinker is displayed and a rightward rear view image outside the vehicle is displayed on the right side of the display screen. When a left-turn instruction is detected, a blinker is displayed and a leftward rear view image outside the vehicle is displayed on the left side of the display screen. Displaying the image in different positions of the display screen according to the right or the left turn instruction facilitates an intuitive determination of a meaning of the image and makes it easier to drive the vehicle.
