  • Patent number: 12109314
    Abstract: A soft capsule film composition, comprising: (A) a native gellan gum; (B) one or more hydrophilic polysaccharides; (C) a starch or modified starch; (D) a plasticizer; and (E) water, wherein a gelling agent other than the native gellan gum and the one or more hydrophilic polysaccharides is not an essential component. The soft capsule film composition shortens drying time at room temperature, suppresses the stickiness of the surface of a film sheet, imparts film sheet strength which can withstand continuous production in factory manufacturing with a rotary die filling machine or the like, and enables the manufacture of a good soft capsule with high adhesiveness. For this reason, the soft capsule produced using the soft capsule film composition can be utilized for various uses such as drugs, quasi drugs, cosmetics, and foods.

    Abstract: A display apparatus having a wide range of threshold voltage compensation function is provided. In the display apparatus, a p-channel transistor is used as a driving transistor of the light-emitting device. Discharging is performed through a source-drain path while constant voltage is supplied to a gate so that Vth is extracted between the gate and the source. In addition, when a drain potential is set to the sum of forward voltage and a cathode potential of the light-emitting device or a potential sufficiently lower than the sum, it is possible to continue the discharging even when Vth is positive voltage. That is, compensation can be performed even in the case where Vth variation occurs from positive voltage to negative voltage.
