  • Patent number: 10302952
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10216021
    Abstract: 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).

  • Patent number: 8766900
    Abstract: There is a need for decreasing a variation in times for writing to TFT elements for pixels in a direction along the extension of a gate line in a liquid crystal display apparatus. A display apparatus includes a display panel having multiple gate lines and drain lines arranged in a matrix and a data driver for outputting a display data signal to each drain line. The data driver includes: an internal control signal generation circuit generating an internal control signal for setting a timing to output a data signal to a drain line of each block on a block basis by dividing the plurality of drain lines into multiple blocks; and a register circuit for recording a setting for division of the block, a setting for delay direction and width of a timing to output the data signal, and a setting for rising and falling of an internal control signal.
