Abstract: In a lock-out prevention control, in which when a portable device is locked out in a trunk room, an alarm is conducted and a latch of a trunk latch mechanism is controlled to its unlatch state without ID verification with a portable device, in the case where an operation of door lock is conducted by the portable device after a start of the alarm (step SB8), the alarm is stopped (step SB12) and the lock-out prevention control is prohibited. The lock-out prevention control is also prohibited when a switch located in a vehicle cabin is operated (step SB9) regardless of the door lock operation by the portable device. Thereby, the vehicle security and the utility or facility can be improved.

Abstract: A display device includes a scanning line drive circuit, which includes plural stages of D type of flip-flops (DFFs) connected in cascade. The first DFF stage receives a pixel signal of video data to be displayed. These DFF stages have outputs respectively connected to AND gates.
