Patent number: 9907141Abstract: A luminance control device and a luminance control method for controlling luminance of a light emitting member are provided in order to reduce the amount of information to be stored while preventing the user from feeling uncomfortable. The CPU divides by the interpolation division number a value obtained subtracting the reference duty ratio from the reference duty ratio so as to calculate an interpolation variation width, and integrates the interpolation variation width to the reference duty ratio every time the interpolation period elapses, and the variation width in the luminance of the LED is therefore reduced, preventing users to feel uncomfortable, which allows for suppressing the amount of information to be stored.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignees: YAZAKI CORPORATION, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasuyuki Shigezane, Shuuji Satake, Takeshi Yamashita, Mitsuaki Maeda, Terumitsu Sugimoto, Yasushi Ohba, Nobuyoshi Imaeda, Makoto Sunohara, Hisanori Katou, Masahiro Kasai

Patent number: 7384281Abstract: A pair of shielded cables (20) having upper and lower ground terminals (30, 50) mounted thereon are brought in directions toward each other to slide upper and lower joint portions (31, 51) while placing them one over the other. Upon this assembling operation, the shielded cables (20) are brought into contact with arcuate standing portions (43, 63) formed at cable mounting portions (42, 62) or embraced by barrel pieces (44, 64) standing up from the arcuate standing portions (43, 63), thereby having displacements thereof relative to the upper and lower ground terminals (30, 50) prevented. Thus, operation forces can be reliably transmitted to the upper and lower joint portions (31, 51) via the shielded cables (20), and the assembling operation can be performed smoothly.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2007Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring System, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Matsuoka, Makoto Sunohara

Patent number: 7193597Abstract: A CMADS circuit is characterized in that one transmitter is able to drive a plurality of receivers at a high rate to make each of the receivers have a low amplitude. A signal line driving integrated circuit has input terminals formed along one side (for example, left side) of the integrated circuit for receiving each signal via each of CMADS bus lines and output terminals formed along an opposing side (right side) opposite the one side. The input and output terminals are disposed such that a distance from each of the input terminals to a side (lower side) of the integrated circuit along which the signal voltage output terminals are disposed becomes equal to that from each of the output terminals disposed to individually correspond to the input terminals to the lower side. Accordingly, a CMADS bus is formed penetrating the inside of the signal line driving integrated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2002Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Makoto Sunohara

Patent number: 7119782Abstract: A display device is provided with a display controller, a source driver, and a liquid crystal panel, and two pairs of wirings are provided between the display controller and the source driver. The display controller is provided with a V-I conversion circuit for image data and a mode register, and the source driver is provided with an I-V conversion circuit for image data. The V-I conversion circuit for image data connects either one of a pair of the wirings to an earth electrode and sets the other one to a floating state based on the image data. The I-V conversion circuit for image data allows electric current to flow in the wiring out of a pair of the wirings, which is connected to the earth electrode, and converts the image data into a pair of complementary current signals to receive them. Further, the I-V conversion circuit for image data stops the current signal by a control signal from the mode register when the image data is not transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: NEC Electronics CorporationInventors: Makoto Sunohara, Akimitsu Tajima, Masayuki Yamaguchi, Masayuki Kumeta
