Abstract: The present technique relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method capable of supporting various service modes. The reception apparatus obtains first meta data including class information for providing, in multiple modes, a service identified by an IP address and transmitted by a broadcast wave of digital broadcast using an IP transmission method, and controls reproduction of a component by connecting to a stream of the component constituting the service for each of the multiple modes on the basis of the class information included in the first meta data. The present technique can be applied to, for example, a fixed receiver such as a television receiver, a mobile receiver such as a smartphone, and the like .

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes: a display panel in which every pixel is configured to have at least four sub-pixels provided for respectively at least four color components different from each other and each of the sub-pixels is driven to exhibit a luminance according to the color component for the sub-pixel; a processing circuit configured to receive input information provided for the display panel to serve as information on a color prescribed by a table color system determined in advance and configured to output the four or more color components based on the information; and a color measurement unit configured to measure the color of light coming from an environment surrounding the display panel.

Abstract: A display device includes: horizontal scan lines; vertical scan lines; an electro-optical element disposed at each of positions where the horizontal scan lines and the vertical scan lines intersect and selectively turned on based on a video signal and a vertical scan signal; a defect information storing section that stores defect information indicating whether each of the electro-optical elements has a defect; and a video signal generating section that generates a video signal to be supplied to the electro-optical element in each position based on a video signal supplied from outside and the defect information, wherein the video signal generating section supplies a video signal to the electro-optical elements such that the supply of a level required for turning on an element is stopped for an electro-optical element having a defect and the video signal supplied from the outside is supplied to an electro-optical element having no defect.

Abstract: A portable telephone and electronic device are provided. The portable telephone includes a casing having a first surface: a finger guide section that is provided in the first surface and guides a finger of a user to allow the finger to be placed so that a side portion of the finger faces the first surface; an illuminating section provided in the first surface so as to be adjacent to the finger guide section, the illuminating section being capable of radiating light of a predetermined wavelength that transmits through the placed finger; an imaging section provided in the casing so as to be spaced at a predetermined distance from the first surface with respect to a perpendicular direction, the imaging section being capable of imaging the light that has transmitted through the finger; and a control section that performs authentication of the user on the basis of an image obtained by the imaging.

Abstract: An optical recording medium and method for producing same are provided. The optical recording medium includes at least an upper dielectric layer, a recording layer, a lower dielectric layer, a sulfide-stain preventing layer, and a reflective layer formed on a substrate in this order in the direction of incidence of a recording or reading laser, wherein the recording layer contains a material represented by the following general formula: GaxSnyGezSbw, wherein 0?x?7, 13?y?20, and 0.08?z/w?0.2, wherein the lower dielectric layer contains a composite material of zinc sulfide and silicon oxide and has a thickness of 1 to 6 nm, and wherein the reflective layer contains an Ag alloy and has a thickness of 160 nm or more.

Abstract: A configuration is provided which enables usage management and secure data management of data newly generated or obtained that is different from data already stored in an information recording medium. New data such as information which the user has newly generated or downloaded related to content information increments of content management information stored in an information recording medium is recorded as configuration data of the content management unit, in the form of encrypted data to which a unit key corresponding to the content management unit, or a unit key corresponding to a new content management unit, has been applied. According to this configuration, secure data management and usage management is realized for new data the same as with data corresponding to original units.

Abstract: A laminated structure which can reduce defect by preventing deposition failure or holes of an insulating film, manufacturing method, and a display unit that employ same are provided. The laminated structure as an anode for organic light-emitting devices is provided on a flat surface of a substrate. In the laminated structure, an adhesive layer made of ITO, a reflective layer made of silver or an alloy containing silver, and a barrier layer made of ITO are layered in this order from the substrate side. A cross sectional shape of the laminated structure in the laminated direction is a forward tapered shape. A sidewall face of the adhesive layer, the reflective layer, and the barrier layer is totally covered by an insulating film, and deposition failure or holes of the insulating film is prevented. A taper angle made by the sidewall face and the flat surface is preferably from about 10° to about 70°.
