Publication number: 20170293192Abstract: The present invention is intended to control the color temperature of white exhibited by a liquid crystal display device. White is produced when light waves emitted through pixels associated with three colors of red, green, and blue have maximum intensities. The amounts of light emitted through the respective pixels are controlled by differentiating the shapes of the pixel electrodes disposed at the respective pixels from one another. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. Otherwise, the shapes of interceptive films disposed at the respective pixels are differentiated from one another in order to control light waves emitted through the respective pixels. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. The interceptive film may be shaped like the pixel electrode. Otherwise, the interceptive film may be realized with an interceptive pattern other than that of the pixel electrode or one of openings bored in a black matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2017Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: Ikuko MORI, Munenori MOTOOKA, Ryutaro OKE, Kazunori OJIMA, Kikuo ONO

Patent number: 9383846Abstract: In a flexible printed circuit (FPC) connection structure for a touch sensor, corrosion of an electrode terminal is prevented without reducing connection reliability. In a touch sensor, a tip of a first passivation layer and a tip of an FPC wiring are spaced apart from one another, and consequently an exposed portion, which is adjacent to a tipmost part and is not covered by the first passivation layer, is formed on a connection terminal. An FPC film includes a tip, which further extends from the FPC wiring and extends to a location at which it overlaps, in a plan view, the first passivation layer, and thereby a space is formed between the tip and the exposed portion. The touch sensor further includes an anti-rust material, which fills the space and thereby covers the exposed portion of the connection terminal.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: NISSHA PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventors: Itsuo Furukawa, Hisaya Takayama, Ikuko Mori

Patent number: 8542168Abstract: The present invention provides a display method realizing reduction in a moving picture blurring by forming one frame by two fields of different luminance, in which increase in an unapplied voltage due to shortening of data voltage write time is suppressed. A gate voltage is applied in a light field for a period of time which is twice as long as scan line selection time, thereby decreasing an unapplied voltage. On the other hand, a gate voltage is applied normally in a dark field for the scan line selection time, so that the case where the unapplied voltage increases is eliminated. As a result, an image with high reproducibility can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2007Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignees: Hitachi Displays, Ltd., Panasonic Liquid Crystal Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ikuko Mori, Kikuo Ono
