The pair of terminal slots is arranged on the second reference line, and is arranged vertically symmetrical with respect to the first reference line.

Abstract: To appropriately prevent a burn-in phenomenon when a still image such as an OSD screen is displayed on a display panel. When a menu screen is displayed on a video screen in a superimposed manner, a menu phrase in at least one of a left-eye video and a right-eye video is deleted on a menu background area. A time period in which a brightness difference between still pixels in a boundary between a menu background area and a menu phrase remains large is reduced, and thus the occurrence of the burn-in phenomenon can be prevented. However, the menu background area is constantly displayed without being deleted, so that screen flickering does not occur.

Abstract: At the start of power supply from a power supply device to an induction line, the oscillation frequency of an inverter of the power supply device is set at a predetermined frequency shifted from the resonance frequency of a resonant circuit. After a predetermined time, the frequency is changed from the predetermined frequency to the resonance frequency. Thus, at the start of power supply, only small power is obtained by the resonant circuits in all transport carriages from the induction line in a full-load condition. Thus, total power is suppressed within power that can be supplied by the power supply device, avoiding an overloaded condition of the power supply device.

Abstract: A PWM module is provided to output a driving pulse to a switching device in synchronization with a synchronizing pulse having a frequency twice the frequency of the high-frequency current of a primary-side induction line. The PWM module performs output voltage feedback control such that the output voltage of an output capacitor is set at a reference voltage. The module outputs, to the switching device, the driving pulse having a half width of the pulse width of a driving pulse that can be outputted, at the start of power supply to the primary-side induction line. Moreover, the module forcibly performs the output voltage feedback control if an output voltage of the output capacitor does not increase to the reference voltage within a reference time.
