Patent number: 10302952Abstract: Provided is a configuration for executing display information output control with improved visibility of a user wearable or portable display unit. A controller configured to execute display information output control on a user wearable or portable display unit is included. The controller sets a turning on (ON) period and a turning off (OFF) period and controls switching between afterimage consideration pulse display having the turning off period being set to be within an afterimage recognition period and normal pulse display having the turning off period being set to be longer than or equal to the afterimage recognition period, the turning on (ON) period being an output period of display information to the display unit, the turning off (OFF) period being a non-output period of display information to the display unit. The controller executes the switching control between the afterimage consideration pulse display and the normal pulse display depending on eye velocity of a user.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Ichiro Mayama, Hidenori Kikuchi, Kayoko Tanaka

Patent number: 10216021Abstract: A display device (100) comprising: a display panel (120); a middle frame (130) holding the display panel (120); and an upper frame (110) covering the display panel (120) from a display surface side. The middle frame (130) includes a placing portion (133) on which a peripheral portion of the display panel (120) is placed, the upper frame (110) includes a frame portion (115), which is disposed opposite to the peripheral portion of the display panel (120). A distance between the placing portion (133) and the frame portion (115), which are disposed opposite to each other on corner portions of the display panel (120), differs from a distance between the placing portion (133) and the frame portion (115), which are disposed opposite to each other on a central portion of the display panel (120).Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Panasonic Liquid Crystal Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuyuki Awazu, Hidenori Kikuchi, Hiroaki Sato
