Abstract: A fixing apparatus, applied to a diffuser plate of a backlight unit (BLU), includes a fixing groove and a positioning piece. The fixing groove is formed at the frame and symmetrically related to one end of a centrosymmetric line of a diffuser plate. A first pair of edges are set at two sides of the centrosymmetric line. A third edge connects the first pair of edges cutting across the centrosymmetric line. The positioning piece is located within the fixing groove. The positioning piece is separated from the first pair of edges of the fixing groove at a first distance, and separated from the third edge of the fixing groove at a second distance, wherein the first distance is smaller than the second distance.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus, applied to a diffuser plate of a backlight unit (BLU), comprises a receiving portion and a positioning portion. The receiving portion is symmetrically formed at a first centrosymmetric line of the diffuser plate, a first pair of edges of the receiving portion set at two sides of the first centrosymmetric line. The positioning portion is located within the receiving portion, and a first distance is formed between the positioning portion and the first pair of edges. The first distance is determined according to a mechanical tolerance of the diffuser plate. Movement of the diffuser plate along a direction of a second centrosymmetric line perpendicular to the first centrosymmetric line, is constrained by the positioning portion. The receiving portion and a positioning portion may comprise a fixing hole and a positioning pin. Alternatively, the receiving portion and the positioning portion comprise a fixing groove and a positioning piece.

Abstract: An image generating device for forming a behind object prepared with polygon data as a part of the background of a virtual three-dimensional space and generating images of the movement of a character object prepared with polygon data in this virtual three-dimensional space. A visual field seen from a viewpoint is operated, and behind objects OTa, OTb, and OTc positioned within this visual field and observable from the viewpoint are specified. Moreover, judged is whether it is the specific condition wherein the character object OTch is within the visual field and positioned in the space closer to the viewpoint side than the specified behind object. The character object OTch is incorporated as the object of display only when it is judged as being this specific condition.

Abstract: In a video game device which performs a video game wherein a game character or unit moves through a plurality of paths including a plurality of branch points according to an instruction of a player, a first movement control unit displays branch-direction indications enabling the player to select one of a plurality of first branch directions at a branch point on a path in the video game, so that a selected one of the plurality of first branch directions is received from the player. A second movement control unit displays preceding-branch-direction indications enabling the player to select, in advance, one of a plurality of second branch directions at a branch point on a following path in the selected first branch direction, so that a selected one of the plurality of second branch directions is received from the player.

Abstract: A communication game system for a competitive communicative driving game. Preliminary races are actually conducted for each client system in a single-vehicle driving style in accordance with operations by players, and qualifiers who are highly ranked according to their finishing times are selected (S1 to S10). The final races (S12) are set for the qualifiers. Also in the final races, the final races are actually conducted for each client in a single-vehicle driving style in accordance with operations by the players, and the driving data is then transmitted to the server (S11 to S14). The server processes the driving data obtained from each client and returns the processing results to each client (S14). After the network is disconnected, the processing results are reproduced and displayed as replay images at each client (S15 and S16).

Abstract: An image processor is composed of a game device body, an operation panel and a display. The game device body is composed of a data processor 12 and a memory 12. The data processor realizes a hit determining circuit 112, an enemy control circuit 112, an enemy (object) set circuit 114, a cursor control circuit 114, an enemy retrieval circuit 116 and a camera control circuit 116 in accordance with corresponding programs used. When an object is displayed on the display, the cursor control circuit displays a cursor in accordance with predetermined processing performed on the basis of data on the coordinates of the object. The camera control circuit 116 performs a zoom-in display process for the object when the object is displayed on the display.
