Abstract: A common electrode driver includes an inverting amplifier including a first resistor, a second resistor, and an operational amplifier, and a resistance ratio adjustment circuit that adjusts, in accordance with a length of one horizontal scan period, a resistance ratio being a ratio of a resistance value of the second resistor to a resistance value of the first resistor. A feedback voltage is provided to one end of the first resistor. The resistance ratio adjustment circuit sets the resistance ratio when second driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is a second time longer than a first time, to be smaller than the resistance ratio when first driving is performed, in which a length of one horizontal scan period is the first time.

Abstract: A new antitumor agent is provided which consists essentially of water-soluble, macromolecular glycoprotein substances having a range of molecular weights within the limits of from 10,000 to 300,000 and which is prepared from shellfish or mollusc by taking up the liquid portion which comes from the cooking of raw shellfish in an aqueous solvent, typically water or a saline solution, or vapor of such solvent and which is to be discarded as waste, concentrating the liquid portion to a smaller volume or to dryness, dissolving the resulting concentrate or dry powder in an aqueous solvent and isolating the desired water-soluble, macromolecular glycoprotein substances therefrom. The isolation of the desired substances is preferably carried out by an ion-exchange chromatography with a basic anion-exchanger followed by a gel-filtration.
