  • Patent number: 8390774
    Abstract: A projection display apparatus is provided with a liquid crystal panel, and first to third polarizing layers are arranged on an optical path of light. The transmission axis of the first polarizing layer and the transmission axis of the second polarizing layer orthogonally intersect with each other. The transmission axis of the second polarizing layer and the transmission axis of the third polarizing layer are parallel to each other. The first compensation layer compensates a phase difference generated due to pre-tilt angle on the entering side of the liquid crystal panel. The second compensation layer compensates a phase difference generated due to a pre-tilt angle on the outgoing side of the liquid crystal panel. The third compensation layer compensates a phase difference generated due to deviation between the polarization axis of the light entering the third polarizing layer and the transmission axis of the third polarizing layer.

  • Patent number: 8368685
    Abstract: In an image display apparatus of the invention, a signal input unit outputs a complex image signal, which has been converted to an easily-processed format, to a signal-for-display generator. The signal-for-display generator converts the complex image signal to a signal suitable for displaying at a display unit. An apparatus state-detector detects a state of the display apparatus. Based on apparatus state information input from the apparatus state-detector, an arithmetic unit calculates an amount of non-uniformity to be corrected, and outputs it to a non-uniformity corrector. Based on the non-uniformity correction amount corresponding to a position displayed at the display unit, the non-uniformity corrector corrects the image signal input from the signal-for-display generator, converts it to a signal format that can be used at the display unit, and outputs it.

  • Patent number: 8345172
    Abstract: A display device uses a field sequential color scheme. Assume that a panel video writing period defines a period from the start of writing image data into a display panel to the completion of displaying the image on the basis of the image data in a sub-frame. A light source driving circuit generates a driving signal for gradually increasing the luminance of a light source of a color corresponding to a displayed image in the present sub-frame from zero to a predetermined value within the panel video writing period of the present sub-frame and for gradually decreasing the luminance of the light source from the predetermined value to zero within the panel video writing period of the next sub-frame. A light source driver drives the light source to emit light in accordance with the driving signal.

  • Patent number: 8310431
    Abstract: A format of an inputted video signal is estimated to be based on the total number of vertical lines, and a frequency dividing ratio of a PLL unit is provisionally set at a predetermined value corresponding to the estimated format. Next, the frequency dividing ratio is calculated so that a measured value of a horizontal display width that is measured by a video detecting unit matches a capture width which is the horizontal display width capturable by a frame memory, and the calculated frequency dividing ratio is converted to a multiple of 4. A phase adjustment of the regenerative dot clock is performed against the video signal based on the converted frequency dividing ratio by using the regenerative dot clock generated by the PLL unit.
