Abstract: In a virtual space, a virtual camera is set in a direction such that at least a part of a ground is included in the field of view of the virtual camera. Movement of a predetermined object located above the ground in the virtual space is controlled based on game processing. In a rendering process of generating, based on the virtual camera, a game image including the ground and the object, if the height of the object in the virtual space is greater than a predetermined height, the game image is generated such that a contour of the object is rendered.

Abstract: This invention provides a color filter which comprises, a transparent substrate, color layers of plural colors, a transparent electrode and a protrusion for controlling liquid crystal alignment laminated in this order, and also has plural fixed dot spacers. In a preferable embodiment of this invention, the black matrix is formed by partially overlapping the color layers and the topmost layer of the fixed dot spacers comprises portions of the layer which constitutes the protrusion for controlling liquid crystal alignment or it comprises separate dots of the same composition as that of the protrusion for controlling liquid crystal alignment. This invention can provide a liquid crystal display device that can achieve an excellent display quality and a wide viewing angle and is furthermore excellent in productivity.

Abstract: A photo diode and a signal processing circuit are formed on a silicon substrate. The signal processing circuit comprises a PNP transistor and an NPN transistor. A region of the signal processing circuit on the silicon substrate is covered by an aluminum thin film functioning as a shielding film. A covered distance L(.mu.m) is defined as an overhang of the aluminum thin film from the edge of the PNP transistor, and is determined based on a ratio of a minimum current of the PNP transistor, which induces malfunction in the signal processing circuit under the solar radiation, to a current generated in the circuit element when subjected to the solar radiation without the aluminum thin film.
