Abstract: In the case when password data (PW1) added to a TV broadcasting signal and password data (PW2) transmitted from an Internet connection section (2) have a predetermined correlation with each other, the display section (3) is allowed to display the corresponding contents normally. Therefore, accounting processes are imposed on the transmission of the password data (PW2) so that a normal displaying operation is charged in an indirect manner for each of the contents.

Abstract: An illuminance sensor detects an illuminance value for an environment in which a display device is placed and provides the illuminance value to a controller. The controller determines whether to cause the display device to make a transition to a power saving mode or not in accordance with the illuminance value inputted thereto. For the transition to the power saving mode, the controller stops the operation of a backlight drive signal generator to turn off a backlight unit, and stops the supply of power and a display signal to a liquid crystal panel.

Abstract: Discriminator receiving a DDC transmission request from an external computer through a DDC control, judges whether a video signal inputted from the computer is a signal of analog specification or digital specification from an analog channel input detection signal from an analog synchronizing signal detector. On the basis of the judgment result, the discriminator controls the DDC control, input channel switch and OSD switch to switch EDID data, an input channel and OSD into ones supporting the specification of the video signal, respectively. In a display monitor having a DDC function which includes a DVI-I connector, with the above constitution, a correct setting of the input channel, EDID data and the like is automatically made in accordance with the specification of the input signal.

Abstract: Discrimination means (53), receiving a DDC transmission request from an external computer through DDC control means (55), judges whether a video signal inputted from the computer is a signal of analog specification or digital specification from an analog channel input detection signal from an analog synchronizing signal detection means (52). On the basis of the judgment result, the discrimination means (53) controls the DDC control means (55), input channel switching means (56) and OSD switching means (57) to switch EDID data, an input channel and OSD into ones supporting the specification of the video signal, respectively. In a display monitor having a DDC function which includes a DVI-I connector, with the above constitution, a correct setting of the input channel, EDID data and the like is automatically made in accordance with the specification of the input signal.

Abstract: An image display apparatus including a display unit 20 having a plurality of pixels, lighting controlling means 5 and 16a for controlling a time for lighting the pixels on the display unit 20 within a predetermined time in order to display a multiple-gradation image, and correcting means 4 and 5 for correcting the lighting time controlled by the lighting controlling means 5 and 16a. Even when characteristic dispersion per pixel of the display unit 20 is large, characteristic dispersion between image display apparatuses can be restrained.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously granulating powder material has a feeder for continuously supplying powder material, and a granulation vessel. The granulation vessel includes a granulation zone and a drying zone. The apparatus also has a spray nozzle disposed so as to be declined above the granulation zone for adding binder to the powder material, a perforated plate disposed below the granulation zone and the trying zone, an intermediate weir disposed between the granulation zone and the drying zone so as to provide a space between the intermediate weir and the perforated plate, an outlet weir disposed at an outlet side of the drying zone, and a heated air supplying device for supplying from below heated air to the granulation zone and the drying zone so as to form a fluidized bed of the material.

Abstract: In the gas discharge image display of this invention, the peak value of a write pulse supplied to one of two electrodes of each of fluorescent lamps aligned in a matrix form is substantially equal to the peak value of a sustain pulse supplied to that electrode. Therefore, when a row line drive circuit or a column line drive circuit supplies, in a sustain period of a fluorescent lamp to be discharged, a write pulse to another fluorescent lamp aligned in the same row or column of the matrix form, a voltage at the fluorescent lamp to be discharged can be made constant in the sustain period.
