  • Publication number: 20090284545
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display element, a backlight, and a plurality of circuits conducting the following. A drive signal for driving the backlight is formed according to an adjustment value calculated from the one-screen average image luminance in the image signal for display and a predetermined linear luminance adjustment curve. An image signal amplification control is then conducted according to a linear image luminance correction curve specified by the adjustment value, the average luminance, and one or both of the one-screen minimum and maximum luminance values detected from the image signal. The corrected image is then supplied to the liquid crystal display element. In so doing, reduced power consumption is realized in the backlight of a liquid crystal display element while maintaining the image quality of displayed images.

  • Patent number: 6191736
    Abstract: Received signal provided via plural antennas 101 are memorized in memory 102. First weight controller 103 calculates the first weights by which the received signals are weighted, and second weight controller 104 calculates the second weights using the received signals. Multipliers 107 and 108 multiply the memorized received signals by the first weights, while multiply the memorized received signals by the second weights when a channel quality of radio signals deteriorates due to a change of the radio signal's direction of arrival Adder 109 synthesizes the multiplication results. Propagation path distortion compensator 110 estimates a deterioration of the channel quality using synthesis result to compensate.

  • Patent number: 5907303
    Abstract: A CMA-based antenna system is disclosed which shows an improved receiving performance by reducing phase differences in the received signals which have been weighted. The CMA-based antenna system comprises a plurality of antenna, weight circuits, an adder, an error detector and a synthesis controller. The synthesis controller controls the weight circuits so as not only to make the adder output at a preset level but also to cause any differences among the weight circuit outputs not to increase. In order to cope with an error of symbol synchronization and a delayed wave, the CMA-based antenna system may further have a kind of equalizer inserted before the weight circuit in each antenna circuit.
