  • Image display apparatus and method of correcting image on image display apparatus against inclination by terrestrial magnetism
    Patent number: 6784947
    Abstract: An image display apparatus which employs a cathode ray tube displays, when an image displayed on a screen of the cathode ray tube is to be corrected against an inclination caused by the terrestrial magnetism, a reference for correction is displayed on the screen of the cathode ray tube so that correction current appropriate for correction of the image against the inclination caused by the terrestrial magnetism can be obtained in a short time.

  • Display control device
    Patent number: 6121959
    Abstract: A monitor device capable of setting and adjusting various function items with an operation system having fewer number of keys and fitting an operation sense of a user. The movement of the cursor, and the change of the sound volume display and all kinds of adjustment values in a submenu can be performed with a tablet key which can be pressed and slide-operated with the result that almost all of the setting and adjustment on all kinds of functions of the monitor device can be performed with fewer required than keys of the conventional operation system.

  • Video display in which a screen mode for different input signals is set based on stored information
    Patent number: 5703657
    Abstract: A picture outputting apparatus in which a plurality of picture signals are selectively entered and displayed on a screen with a picture mode matched to the input picture signals. An optimum screen mode is individually stored in terms of input terminals to which picture signals are entered or the frequencies of the input picture signals. A plurality of picture signals are selectively entered at input units I.sub.1 to I.sub.6. The screen modes are set in association with the plurality of the picture signals. A storage unit 17 stores the screen mode information as set by the setting units 9, 10. A display unit 147 displays a picture corresponding to the optional picture signals selectively entered at the input units I.sub.1 to I.sub.6. A judgment unit 15 judges the sorts of the picture signals entered at the input units I.sub.1 to I.sub.6.
