  • Patent number: 7969741
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a substrate structure ensuring a shielding property and a heat discharge property of a resin part that collectively covers a plurality of electronic components and capable of downsizing, thinning, and a reduction in number of components. The substrate structure 20 of the first embodiment is provided with a substrate 21, a plurality of electronic components 22 mounted along the substrate 21, and a resin part 25 that covers the electronic components 22 and is in close contact with the substrate 21. In the substrate structure 20, the resin part 25 is provided with a reinforcing heat discharge layer 26 covering the electronic components 22 and having a heat conductivity and a reinforcing property and a shield layer 27 covering the reinforcing heat discharge layer 26, and a surface o28 of the shield layer 27 is formed into a predetermined shape corresponding to a surface structure of the display device 30 adjacent to the resin part 25.

  • Publication number: 20090002284
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide an image display apparatus in which noticeability of image persistence of a self-luminous device can be suppressed to a low level without performing an electric control and by a simple configuration. In correspondence with a fixed image area (11a) of a self-luminous device (11), an opacified fixed image area (16) is formed in a transmission panel (15), and a fixed picture which is a fixed image that is susceptible to image persistence is placed in the fixed image area (16). According to the configuration, edges of the fixed picture are blurred, and noticeability of image persistence of the self-luminous device (11) is reduced. Therefore, noticeability of image persistence of the self-luminous device (11) can be suppressed to a low level without performing an electric control and by a simple configuration. A fixed picture originally has high contrast. Even when its edges are slightly blurred, therefore, its visibility is not largely impaired.

  • Publication number: 20070075956
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide mobile terminal apparatus capable of suppressing occurrence of noise while keeping required display capacity in accordance with the operation condition of the apparatus. A control portion 16 and a display portion controller 19 control driving of a display portion 20 comprised of a liquid crystal display unit, and change the driving operation such as a drive system, a driving frequency, etc. into a suitable driving condition in accordance with the operation condition of the apparatus. For example, driving operation giving priority to the image quality of an image displayed on the display portion 20 is performed using sequential scanning drive such as one-line inversion drive when a movie is displayed in a camera operation mode or the like. Thus, visibility is improved.

  • Patent number: 6778069
    Abstract: A selective calling signal and a received message signal are received via a radio receiver unit 1 and a decoder unit 2. The received message from the radio receiver unit 1 is stored in a message storing unit 3. The received message stored is displayed on a screen of a display unit 4 based on the display operation of an operating unit 6 under control of a controller unit 8. At this time, an adder unit 5 adds and counts the piece number of the received messages, which are newly received during a period from the display operation to the succeeding display operation, for every attribute category displayed during the screen display of the received message on the display unit 4. Then, information of the adder unit (the piece number of the new unread received messages per attribute category) is displayed on the screen of the display unit 4 under control of the controller unit 8.

  • Patent number: 6100813
    Abstract: A pager includes a receiving circuit for receiving a transmitted paging signal including a calling signal and a message which includes character codes; a display having a predetermined character display area; a first storing circuit for storing the message when the calling signal indicates this pager; a setting circuit responsive to a manual operation for setting position data indicative of a position of one of the character codes in the message; a second storing circuit for storing the position data in response to the setting circuit; and a displaying circuit for reading a portion of the message including the portion of character codes from the storing circuit in accordance with the position data from the second storing circuit and displaying the portion of character codes on the display. In addition to storing the position data, a target subject data may be stored to search the position of a message to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 6058290
    Abstract: A selective call receiver includes a memory for storing data pieces. A data piece among the data pieces in the memory is designated as an object to be exposed to pseudo erasion. A predetermined signal is added to the designated data piece. The designated data piece with the predetermined signal is inhibited from being read out from the memory. A data piece without the predetermined signal is allowed to be read out from the memory. The predetermined signal is deleted from the designated data piece in response to a requirement for cancel of pseudo erasion. The designated data piece with the predetermined signal in the memory is erased in response to a requirement for actual erasion.

  • Patent number: 5781122
    Abstract: A display section 5 displays the confirmation to an instruction entered through an operating section 4 and the content of the processing performed in a signal processing section 3. Hence, users can check the interim progress of the processing by monitoring a display screen on the display section 5. Therefore, the users can quickly confirm whether or not the processing has been accurately performed.
