  • Publication number: 20100014007
    Abstract: When a communication connection with a device is disconnected during execution of a display based on data transmitted from the connected device, it can be controlled to continue or end the display according to a class of the device. A display apparatus 1 includes a USB connector 102 used to connect an external device so as to be able to communicate with that device. The display apparatus 1 also includes a CPU 107 which controls to make a display based on data received from the external device with which a communication connection is established via the USB connector 102. The CPU 107 acquires class information indicating a class of the external device, the communication connection of which is established.

  • Publication number: 20090128525
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device dividing a single frame of an image signal into m fields and driving the signal at m times speed, including (a) a circuit comparing a concerned frame's image signal with that of an immediately preceding frame for each pixel in the first field, and performing correction so the gradation becomes higher or lower than the concerned frame's image signal with an increase or decrease in the gradation, respectively, (b) a circuit generating an inversion pattern for cyclically inverting polarity of a drive voltage applied to a liquid crystal in m/2 fields including the first field, and (c) a circuit making the drive voltage applied to the liquid crystal in m/2 fields including the first field and the drive voltage applied to the liquid crystal in remaining m/2 fields opposite in polarity to each other on the basis of the pattern.
