Abstract: To make a conventional area grayscale display technique applicable to a driving method that is designed to write data in a vertical blanking interval. A display panel with multiple pixels and a display controller that receives an input video signal and a sync signal and gets an image presented on the display panel are provided. If one horizontal scanning period and one vertical scanning period of the input video signal are represented by 1H and V-Total, respectively, the display controller is able to form one vertical scanning period V-Total of a first period in which one horizontal scanning period of the display panel is 1Ho, which is as long as 1H, and a second period in which one horizontal scanning period of the display panel is 1Hn, which is not as long as 1H.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can more improve a luminance when the liquid crystal display device includes a column spacer. The present invention is a liquid crystal display device including a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, and the liquid crystal display device having a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel, wherein a column spacer structure is arranged in the red pixel among three pixels of the red, green, and blue pixels, and the red pixel has the smallest aperture ratio of the three pixels.

Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor device including a substrate and a semiconductor film deposited on the substrate, characterized in that the semiconductor film has a laterally grown crystal having an end with a surface projection height smaller than the thickness of the semiconductor film. There are also provided a semiconductor device fabrication method and apparatus utilizing a method and apparatus for fabricating the semiconductor device, that is capable of reducing a surface projection height or a ridge formed in a last region in repeating laser exposure in the SLS method, and a semiconductor device fabricated thereby.
