Abstract: A vehicle antitheft system capable of safely stopping a vehicle after being stolen. The vehicle antitheft system monitors the state of the vehicle by means of an antitheft control apparatus using a shock sensor, a door sensor, and others which are installed in the vehicle. If an illegal act against the vehicle is detected, an alarm is set off to the outside by means of a siren, a lamp, and the like. When a speed reduction command is received from a hand-held controller outside the vehicle, an injector control relay is controlled so as to stop an operation signal to an injector, and thereby to stop the fuel supply to the engine. Thus, the vehicle is forcibly slowed down to travel at a predetermined speed limit (for example, 30 km/hr) or lower.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display method is provided in which various types of display patterns can be displayed with a predetermined driving voltage margin being maintained and power consumption does not increase. Accordingly, a driving method for a liquid crystal display device is provided using liquid crystal having two metastable states. A scanning signal has a reset period, a delay period, a selection period and a non-selection period in one frame period. The selection period is set to one horizontal scanning period 1H. The scanning signal is set to reset potentials reversed at an interval of a frame period in the reset period, set to selection potentials reversed at an interval of 1H/2 in the selection period, and set to non-selection potentials in the delay period and the non-selection period. The data potential of a data signal has potentials reversed at an interval of 1H/2.

Abstract: Liquid crystal display device and its drive method that applies the voltage of the difference of a scanning signal and a data signal having at least a reset period, a selection period and a non-selection period in one frame on a chiral nematic liquid crystal having at least two stable states. A total of eight voltage levels made up of a plurality of levels (V1, V2, V3, V4) of a first group on the low voltage side and a plurality of levels (V5, V6, V7, V8) of a second group on the high voltage side are provided. The voltage levels of scanning signal Yi and data signal Xj are alternated between the first group and second group every mH (where, m is an integer that is 2 or greater and H≠1 frame period), which is an integral multiple of the unit time (1H) equivalent to the selection period T2 of scanning signal Yi.

Abstract: A method of driving a liquid crystal that has a memory capability, wherein a reset voltage is initially applied to the liquid crystal during a reset period, to bring about a Freédericksz transition in the liquid crystal. During a subsequent selection period, a selection voltage that is selected on the basis of a critical value that brings about one of two metastable states in the liquid crystal is applied to the liquid crystal, and, during a non-selection period that follows the selection period, a non-selection voltage that is less than or equal to a threshold value that maintains two metastable states is applied to the liquid crystal. A delay period is provided between the reset period and the selection period, in order to gain effective timing for applying the selection voltage to the liquid crystal after the application of the reset voltage has been turned off. This shortens the length of the selection period, and hence the write time.
