  • Patent number: 11270659
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes: a liquid crystal display panel having a first substrate, a second substrate, and a vertical alignment type liquid crystal layer; and a control circuit configured to generate a display signal voltage. The first substrate has pixel electrodes to which the display signal voltage is applied, and a first alignment film. The second substrate has a counter electrode to which a common voltage is applied, and a second alignment film. Each pixel has liquid crystal domains having different reference alignment directions defined by the first and second alignment films. The pixel electrode has slits. The control circuit is configured to generate, as the display signal voltage, a voltage obtained by adding a predetermined offset voltage to an original voltage corresponding to a gray level. The offset voltage is substantially the same for gray levels higher than or equal to a predetermined intermediate gray level.

  • Patent number: 8030016
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening method for a compound and includes a step of detecting binding between a vitamin D receptor and CDP. A novel method enabling screening in vitro of a compound having strong bone forming action and low side effects, a compound participating in osteoblast differentiation and selected by the method of screening, a therapeutic agent containing the compound for diseases intervening in the increase in vitamin D-mediated transcriptional activity by a complex of a vitamin D receptor and CDP, and a kit for performing the screening method are provided.
