Abstract: The cold cathode tube for illuminating pixels with light which is in accordance with an output signal has luminance which gradually increases at a rise and gradually decreases at a fall per one frame time. The cold cathode tube contains a fluorescent material of only one of three primary colors of light, and has a certain OFF period or dimming period per one frame time. Between a diffusing plate and a reflecting plate are provided partition walls for parting emitting areas, so that the illumination light of one cold cathode tube does not reach the display elements to be illuminated by the other cold cathode tubes. The emission of each display element is changed per one frame time between a normal ON state and a dim state. The cold cathode tube has two or more OFF periods within one frame time, and luminance of the cold cathode tube is changed per one frame period.

Abstract: A correction area address storage unit in a display control circuit of at least one embodiment of the present invention stores a correction area address for display elements disposed in a display area end portion where light subjected to an optical path change by a light guide element is transmitted through, among the addresses of RAMs that temporarily store pixel values provided from a source external to a device. A data correcting unit multiplies, based on the correction area address, pixel values for the display area end portion by a correction coefficient set so as to compensate for a change in the chromaticity of a displayed image which is caused by the light guide element, thereby correcting the pixel values. By this, a single seamless image is displayed without a viewer given a feeling of unnaturalness caused by the difference in chromaticity.

Abstract: A technique is provided that can reduce any unnecessary distortion components of an input audio signal that arises as a result of varying the gain of the signal regardless of the type of the input audio signal. As shown in FIG. 1, as signal in is input to audio signal processing apparatus 10, signal branching section 11 divides the signal Sin for first through N-th routes R1 through Rn. On the first through N-th routes 91 through Rn, first through N-th front BPFs 111 through 11n respectively selects the predetermined frequency bands set for the signals and outputs them to first through N-th AGCs 121 through 12n. The first through N-th AGCs 121 through 12n respectively adjusts the gains of the acquired signals and output them to first through N-th back BPFs 131 through 13n. The first through N-th back BPFs 131 through 13n respectively eliminate the distortion components outside the bands by means of band limiting processes.
