  • Publication number: 20190310501
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can prevent a camera image from being adversely affected by the birefringence of external polarized light which enters a camera through the liquid crystal layer. In a liquid crystal display device (1A), light to enter a camera (3) passes through a part of a liquid crystal panel (10A). The liquid crystal panel (10A) is configured so that the first part of the liquid crystal layer (14), which first part is located in the camera light transmissive region (S1) allowing the light to enter the camera 3 to pass therethrough, has a retardation R1 represented by the following formula: R1=m? (where (i) m is a positive integer and (ii) ? is a wavelength of the light passing through the liquid crystal layer).

  • Patent number: 8949115
    Abstract: In an audio output terminal device, a buffer control unit adjusts the buffer size of a jitter buffer in accordance with the setting of a sound output mode instructed in an instruction receiving unit. If the instruction receiving unit acknowledges an instruction for setting an audio output mode that requires low delay in outputting sound, the buffer control unit reduces the buffer size of the jitter buffer. Further, the buffer control unit controls, in accordance with the instructed setting of the sound output mode, timing for allowing a media buffer to transmit one or more voice packets to the jitter buffer.
