Abstract: A liquid crystal device includes a liquid crystal panel, a pair of polarizers and a phase plate. The phase plate is formed by a supply direction of an inorganic material to the substrate surface set such that a ratio of a front phase difference, which is produced when light is incident along a normal direction of the phase plate, and a first phase difference, which is produced when light is incident along a first direction different from the normal direction, falls within a predetermined range.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal device and a projection display device using the liquid crystal device as a light valve, for the purpose of preventing light incident from opposite the clear viewing direction from affecting the display, in a liquid crystal device (1), an optical center position (411) of a microlens (41) formed on a counter substrate (30) is offset toward the clear viewing direction as viewed from a center position (211) of a first opening area (21) formed for each pixel on the side of an active matrix substrate (20). For this reason, light incident on the counter substrate (30) from the direction inclined in the clear viewing direction is emitted from the active matrix substrate (20); however, light incident from the direction inclined opposite to the clear viewing direction that causes the degradation of contrast is not emitted from the active matrix substrate (20) and does not affect the display.

Abstract: A window switching apparatus comprises a title list display processing unit displaying titles of application programs run at present as a list on a screen of a display unit, and an activation processing unit making a window of an application program corresponding to a desired title active when the title is designated through an input unit. The title list display processing unit comprises a select-and-display processing unit selecting a predetermined number of titles and displaying them in respective title display columns of a predetermined size constituting the title list when the number of application programs run at present is larger than a predetermined number, and a change-and-display processing unit changing titles displayed as the title list and displaying them when a title display change command is inputted through the input unit. The user can find out a desired window and make it active, easily and quickly.

Abstract: The present invention provides a high quality electronic optical device by preventing flaws and dust from adhering on substrates, between which a liquid crystal is inserted, and by suppressing a temperature increase caused by irradiation of light from a light source. The present invention also provides a projection type device using the electronic optical device and a method for producing the electronic optical device. Flaws and dust are never adhered on an outer face of an active matrix substrate because a planar surface of a third substrate is adhered with an adhesive on the outer face of the active matrix substrate in the electronic optical device. Even when flaws and dust are adhered on an outer face of the third substrate, such flaws and dust are not displayed on the projection image. Forming a light-shielding film on the third substrate allows the design margin of a case to be enlarged.

Abstract: An optical modulation device is presented having a distance Wp from the end of an opposite substrate to the inner peripheral edge of a cover portion in a frame being set to be smaller than the distance W1 from the end of the opposite substrate to the inner peripheral edge of a first light-shielding portion (Wp<W1). Therefore, there is no fear that incident light from outside of the inner peripheral edge of the cover portion may be blocked by the cover portion, so that incident light may reliably enter the entire image area. This arrangement makes it possible to prevent the peripheral portion of a projection image from becoming dark, and thereby improve the quality of the projection image.

Abstract: The distance Wp from the end of a opposite substrate 400 to the inner peripheral edge of a cover portion 95 in a frame 91 is set to be smaller than the distance W1 from the end of the opposite substrate 400 to the inner peripheral edge of a first light-shielding portion 31 (Wp<W1). Therefore, there is no fear that incident light, which is incident from the outside (&thgr;o side) of the inner peripheral edge of the cover portion 95 may be blocked by the cover portion 95, and incident light reliably enters the entire image area, which makes it possible to prevent the peripheral portion of a projection image from becoming dark, and to thereby improve the quality of the projection image.

Abstract: A differential input circuit includes a first bias generating circuit, a second bias generating circuit, a differential circuit, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor. The first bias generating circuit applies an input signal and a bias voltage divided by first dividing resistors to a first source follower FET and outputs a resultant value through first level shift diodes. The second bias generating circuit applies a bias voltage divided by second dividing resistors to a second source follower FET and outputs a resultant value through second level shift diodes. The differential circuit includes first and second switching FETs respectively having gates connected to outputs of the first and second bias generating circuits. The first capacitor connects the output of the first switching FET to a gate electrode of the second switching FET. The second capacitor connects an output terminal of the second bias generating circuit to a gate electrode of the second source follower FET.
