Abstract: In a translation display apparatus, when an instruction to enlarge and display a part of an image of a translated sentence-added document displayed on a display unit is inputted from a display instruction input section, a partially-enlarged image creating section creates a partially-enlarged image in which a part of the image of a translated sentence-added document is enlarged. Under the control of a control section, an image creating section creates a partial enlargement-added image which is an image obtained by superimposing the partially-enlarged image created by the partially-enlarged image creating section on the image of the translated sentence-added document. Under the control of the control section, the display unit displays the partial enlargement-added image.

Generally speaking, this is achieved by allocating a downlink bandwidth section for one group of mobile devices (e.g. Group 2) to MBS and allowing a subgroup of mobile devices (e.g. Group 1A) in the other group (e.g. Group 1) that subscribes to MBS to participate in the former group (e.g. Group 2) as required to identify and decode MBS data.

Abstract: An image display device which performs area-active drive suppresses occurrence of flickering that is caused when displaying dynamic images due to the emission luminance of each area being determined on the basis of a maximum or mean value of pixel luminances within that area.

An emission luminance correction section (153) corrects the first emission luminances (32) on the basis of the maximum luminance position eccentricity coefficients (33) and contribution ratios (34) stored in an LED filter (156).
