Abstract: In a reflection type display apparatus in which a forward lightening apparatus is arranged in front of a reflection type display panel, lowering of contrast occurred when the forward lightening apparatus is turned ON is prevented. In this reflection type display apparatus, the forward lightening apparatus is adhered via an adhesive layer to a front surface of the reflection type display panel having a reflection plane. The reflection plane is constituted by a large number of first very fine patterns having a spherical shape, and a large number of second very fine patterns whose front surfaces are inclined. External light which is vertically entered into the front surfaces is reflected by the first patterns, and thereafter, the reflected external light is projected as a display along a forward direction. The forward lightening apparatus is arranged by providing a light source on a side surface of a light conducting plate having a wedge shape.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that dynamically control an amount of offset current generated by a keeper device are provided. Further, a method and apparatus that use a temperature-controlled keeper device to dynamically optimize an evaluation performance of a dynamic circuit are provided. In particular, when IC temperature is relatively high, i.e., there is increased current leakage in the dynamic circuit, an amount of offset current output by the temperature-controlled keeper may be increased, thereby preventing a dynamic node of the dynamic circuit from being discharged, or otherwise adversely affected, by the increased current leakage. Alternatively, when the IC temperature is relatively low, i.e., there is decreased current leakage in the dynamic circuit, the amount of offset current output by the temperature-controlled keeper may be decreased, thereby ensuring that the offset current is not so large that it severely degrades the evaluation performance.
