Publication number: 20140197332Abstract: Two flow passages are provided for allowing the passage of air sent out from a blower in the same direction individually and discharging the air to outside. An ion generation unit for generating positive ions by only corona discharge is arranged at one flow passage, and an ion generation unit for generating electrostatic atomized water particles with negative polarity by electrostatic atomizing phenomenon is arranged at the other flow passage. A throttle is provided at the one flow passage for making the wind speed of air flowing through the one flow passage faster than the wind speed of air flowing through the other flow passage. Since positive ions having shorter lifetime are emitted more than electrostatic atomized water particles with negative polarity having longer lifetime, the balance between positive and negative polarities in the air can be sustained over a long period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yasutaka Kataoka

Publication number: 20140198104Abstract: A luminance gradient calculating unit of a stereoscopic image generating device calculates luminance gradient indicating amount in change of luminance between a pixel of interest and an adjacent pixel, a right eye image generating unit corrects luminance of the pixel with that correction amount of the same sign as the luminance gradient such that the greater the absolute value of luminance gradient or the smaller the distance is the greater the luminance is. The left eye image generating unit performs correction of the luminance of the pixel with a correction amount of the opposite sign of the luminance gradient. This enables stereoscopy due to difference generated in luminance distribution between the left eye image and right eye image, and also the position of pixel is not changed and thus can be kept from appearing in double or not readily appearing in double.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2012Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yuhji Tanaka
